Haha!  Actually I just didn't feel like working on MAC with all the
damn electrical storms we're having.

Lets see what everyone else thinks.  But you're right, perhaps.
Sendmail specific configurations may benefit from an article
just as well.

A lot of filthy language being tossed at perl and sendmail.  To be
honest though, it was much easier to get working than I thought.
Just the port mail/p5-Sendmail-Milter isn't really broke as the
latest commit by sobomax (we know him!) pointed out.  Once you
get the base system to accept the multi-threaded perl built
from ports, you're good.  It was just a hassle of job fixing other
shit.  I'll tell you about that funny story over the phone
sometime.  :)
