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."

    I don't want to start a holy war here, but what is the deal with you cat fanatics? I've been sitting here on my sofa in front of a cat (a sealpoint siamese) for about 20 minutes now while attempting to get it's attention away from a bug on the floor. 20 minutes. At home, with my labrador cross, which by all standards should be a lot dumber than this cat, the same operation would take about 2 minutes. If that.

    In addition, during this attention seeking attempt, my children's attention is also held by the cat. And everything else has ground to a halt. Even trying to get the remote from my partner fails.

    I won't bore you with the laundry list of other problems that I've encountered while dealing with other cats, but suffice it to say there have been many, not the least of which is I've never seen a cat that fetches as much as it's canine counterpart, despite the cat's faster ambulatory system. My terrier with one ingrown toenail runs consistently faster than this siamese at times, as the cat is often completely asleep. From a productivity standpoint, I don't get how people can claim that the cat is a superior animal.

    Cat addicts, flame me if you'd like, but I'd rather hear some intelligent reasons why anyone would choose to use a cat over other faster, cheaper, more affectionate animals.

      I don't want to start a holy war here, but what is the deal with you PETA people? I've been eating dog meat for about 20 years and all of a sudden it's a bad thing. I mean, WTF? Ok, sometimes I _do_ get sad when I see a poster for a lost puppy. But then I think about how much more tender puppy meat is compared to your garden-variety animal shelter selection.

    No lie. You throw his toy mouse and he'll fetch it and drop it at your feet. He'll so this for hours. He also drools and knocks shit over, so I'm pretty convinced it's a dog in a cat's body, but he fetches. No lie.
