It may help you to know that under sr10, a number of different
sendmail config's were released in the "domain_examples" tree.
(Then again, it might NOT help you :-).  Please understand that these
are released AS IS, with no support available to answer questions on
"why was it done like this...".  These are unsupported -- but we did
want to make them available to you, since they came from the bsd tapes.
