Jim!

Please strip the quotes. No need to send all the previous mail text with
each new mail.

Both commands can't show you all aspects of a well configured Sendmail
host.

The first two are not necessary as they are anyway part of class {w}.

In conjunction with your previous mail: I doubt you can send to any
