Hee hee...if you don't use sendmail's little m4 cf builder, it can be,
otherwise, it's cake.

I'd definitely recommend getting the latest sendmail (8.8.8) and using the
the m4 configuration stuff.  The scripts mentioned below go in the HACK
dir and build pretty sendmail.cf files... :)

Check these out for some relatively detailed instructions on doing this:

  Anti-Spam - sendmail (glenns.org) GOOD RULES/docs

His data is using the m4 stuff from:
  Claus' check for sendmail
    http://www.informatik.uni-kiel.de/%7Eca/email/check.html


Check it out!  It works VERY well!  We've gotta stop these guys somehow!
Using this info can make majordomo administration quite a bit easier.

Good luck!
