It's really only for my outgoing mail so I will check with myself to
see if I'm ok with it!  Yep, I'm all agreed on it. <VBG>

That's beyond my capability I suspect. I actually broken sendmail
late last night by deleting the deny & deny.db files accidently.
It took me an hour to figure out what I'd done. I did however have
backups of them. Next time I will be more careful !  I was modifying
the access file to drop mail from spammers we've had trouble with.
