However, this rule appears to come from the "rules.m4" file rather than "base.m4". One other thing I have in common with Roderick Douglas is that the difference between the tcp and ether mailers has never been clear to me - is it the difference between using SMTP to deliver mail to within, and outside of, your local domain ? Maybe someone could clarify for us ?
