Thanks. I learned something new today.
Not exactly... Applications that pipe to the sendmail command line program to send messages go back to the dawn of email. MTAs that replace the 'real' sendmail pretty much have to provide that functionality.
Yes I did learn something new.
I started to use Linux, Centos, in desperation to rid myself of Windoze. I plunged-in, never learned the theory because of inadequate time. Hence I am Always Learning and never falling to be impressed, continuously delighted to be rid of M$ and wishing I have ventured into Linux 10+ years earlier than I did.
