Don't be an idiot...  Or at least, don't let your ignornace show quite
so well and claim to be the injured party.  You don't need a source
license, or even sendmail to use domain style addressing.  There was
a source sent out just recently in mod.sources which was a replacement
for rmail.  The program (actually, set of programs) allows you to use
full domain addressing, as well as smart rerouting of mail coming out of
and through your site.

Next time, think and look a little before you snipe at the source
license sites who brought you the utilities you need to live in this
community!
