sendmail on 2.9

[Lyle McElhaney]

Greetings,

I need to port sendmail from 4.2 onto an 11/44 running 2.9bsd. I am in the
process of doing it now; I would like to know if anyone else has done it.
At first glance, it doesn't seem to be trivial; running the make, the first
lib module, syslog, asked for 3 includes involved in the 4.2 networking
stuff. How hard is it to beat into submission?

Any experience, useful hacks, and notes on how to manipulate the config
files would be appreciated.

One of the reasons for sendmail is that I send considerable batched mail
out from here, and need the batched addressing feature. A question: How does
the sending sendmail know when it is ok to batch? I assume it can only be
done when the receiver is also sendmail; how can the sender know? Right now
I mail from a sendmail machine through a single alias to over 200 people in
a single message; senmail breaks it up and sends each message separately to
our mail interface machine, which does not have sendmail. If I do get sendmail
installed there, will it magically start batching (half of the mail is
routed directly to ihnp4, for instance)?

Thanks for any help.
