(order rearranged for legibility)
That just sounds like a cop-out to me. Adam (I think that was his name)
already has a working Sendmail and procmail setup. No reason to give up
and move to something "a LOT easier to configure". I agree, Postfix is
very simple and practically works out-of-the-box, however, there are loads
of docs on sendmail and plenty of friendly help. Besides, Glynn already
gave the correct answer to Adam's Question.
Sorry if your name isn't Adam, all these TOP-POSTERs make it confusing. =P
