[Discuss] Sendmail configuration

[DR]

Agreed, use Shaw's mail server.

Many ISPs including mine block email from dynamic IP addresses.  I wish 
I didn't have to do this, but well over 90% of the email traffic my mail 
servers see is spam from compromised dynamic IP addresses.  If I did not 
block that traffic my servers would be swamped.
