Oh, for sure, Sendmail's an amazing piece of software and can be munged to
do all kinds of weird and wonderful things.  During the time I ran Roaring
Penguin, we ran into quite a few situations where Sendmail's flexibility
saved the day.

But still... it's showing its age, and Postfix is a really nice tool also.
Not quite as flexible as Sendmail, but close, and much more straightforward.

I wouldn't have a clue how to do that. :)  I'm still a Postfix newbie.
