First, an s-mail comment:

I added the following line to /usr/lib/smail/config on Keesh:
	visible_name=mit.edu

Now, when you send mail from Keesh, the default from field says:
	From: username@MIT.EDU (Real Name)

Now, a sendmail comment:

> The sendmail package should include mailq and newalaises.  They are
> symlinks in /usr/bin.  It should also include manpages for
> newalaises(1) mailq(1) and aliases(5).

Ok.  I added the following lines to the sendmail Makefile's install target:

	ln -s -f ../lib/sendmail /usr/bin/mailq
	ln -s -f ../lib/sendmail /usr/bin/newaliases
	install mailq.1 /usr/man/man1/ -m 444 -o root -g man
	install newaliases.1 /usr/man/man1/ -m 444 -o root -g man
	install aliases.5 /usr/man/man5/ -m 444 -o root -g man

And I added the following lines to the sendmail package list:

	usr/bin/mailq
	usr/bin/newaliases
	usr/man/man1/mailq.1
	usr/man/man1/newaliases.1
	usr/man/man5/aliases.5

There was no "mailq.1" file, so I created it with:

	cat > mailq.1
	.so man8/sendmail.8

I would create a new sendmail package, but this would require
installing sendmail on Keesh, and I'm getting so into this s-mail
hacking.  :-)

Have a nice day.
