the real disservice is suggesting someone use sendmail because it's easier
to install. what i wish is that this discussion (and the multi-rcpt
discussion) would be noted in the FAQ as ``closed'' on this list. it's all
in the archives and unless dan changes his mind you'll have to fend for
yourself.
for what it's worth i hope the serious* vendors work out what needs to be
worked out with dan. the hobbyist users will just have to take their
chances.
in case you think this harsh or inflammatory consider that security is
worth something. if you're not willing to pay that price then don't and,
if you see fit, recommend that others also use insecure products.
*serious vendors are willing to do the work to get the software integrated
into their release.
