Actually, I wish someone would create a much more sensible sendmail
scheme which has nothing to do with today's sendmail legacy.

Sendmail is impossible to understand, difficult to set up, and annoying

There has GOT to be a better way!  I for one am willing to dump the
old sendmail for a completely new (and incompatible) email paradigm!
