I know.  I recently sent a message to linux-help asking if anyone has
solutions to both of those problems with smail.  I've gotten a couple
of responses on how to make it say "from: username@mit.edu".  (Which I
haven't installed yet, I'll hopefully get around to it soon.)  I
haven't yet heard any ideas how to make it default to sending "to:
username@mit.edu".

I've probably said this before: if someone wants to blow away smail
and install sendmail, I have no objection.  However, I personally will
not install, edit, fix, or acknowledge the existance of, sendmail, for
obvious reasons.

I'm almost certain the sendmail.cf we're distributing was taken
directly out of /source, unedited for linux-dev.
