				Hello !


  I have been using ifmail for a while on my Linux box and I found your
proposed way of patching /etc/sendmail.cf directly quite "non-standard" and
certainly hard to use for non-gurus. So I wrote a FIDO mailer specification,
for direct use with sendmail 8.6.10 or higher with the m4 configuration
files. Here it is, for inclusion in future releases of ifmail (if you
consider so). Suppose the sendmail files are unpacked in .
  I am running a UUCP machine only, but adding dns lookup and/or smtp mail
forwarding should be easy : just start from the linux-smtp.cf file instead
of linux-uucp.cf, then adjust as needed -- and remove the
".	uucp-dom:paco" line from the mailertable section of jm.mk.
  There should be no problem in adding more routing information in jm.mk,
that is if you are a node in a complex network, not a final Fido point like
I am.
