Sendmail Enabler for Mac OS X

Posted by pudge on from the but-sendmail-configuration-is-like-totally-easy dept.

gulker writes "It's really nice to be able to use sendmail as a SMTP server on a PowerBook if you move around a lot. But enabling sendmail on OS X is non-trivial, and while a good tutorial exists, the stock Mac OS X 10.2 package is missing the m4 macro processor needed to regenerate sendmail.cf. So it was great news to hear about Bernard Teo's Sendmail Enabler, a cool Aqua-GUI-interface sendmail 'configurator' for Mac OS X."

    Just as vsftpd is to wuftpd...
    Postfix is to sendmail...
    Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.

    At least in sendmail, i can analyze the headers of a message, and if certain ones are present, do one thing vs another. And I don't need a third party util, like procmail to do it.

    Are you kidding? Do you not understand the unix philosophy of "do one thing, and do it well"?

    It's the case of software once being buggy now being deemed always buggy.

    Please. Sendmail has been providing remote root since 1983 and continues to do so. Just using Google should be enough to scare you away from it.
