.ARPA in sendmail - an appology

[ed at unisoft.UUCP]

Sorry.  I was very hasty in my reply that sendmail had everything in
the .cf file.  Clearly, it doesn't.  I believe, however, that it was
supposed to.

Some of the comments I received (a few of elevated temperature)
suggested that my reply was of the form "sendmail is perfect, you just
need to know how to deal with it".  This was certainly not my intent;
however I was under the misimpression that it was all soft-coded, and
that the problem was with understanding how to deal with the .cf file.
Had that been true, I feel that my comment (which included the
disclaimer that I knew how hard .cf files were to deal with) would have
been justified.

In any case, I'll be more prudent with my offhand comments next time.
