Summary: It's better than nothing

I think that sendmail is a good thing, but...

* I'd like to see it be easier to share information with MX records and
pathalias data.  There is usually a chunk of the local ``know-it-all''
sendmail.cf which dispatches on mailers based on what UUCP or Internet
routes offer for certain domains.  This can be done either by extending
sendmail's matching techniques or having filters that generate crucial (yet
tedious) sections of ruleset zero from various files of routing information,
which are then #included in ruleset 0 or wherever appropriate.

* It would be nice if pseudo-domains were never used for routing, even
internally.

* The configuration files supplied in the distribution should NEVER think
they are at Berkeley.  (At least that's the way is was in 4.2.)
