Aren't you the Les that keeps saying that the supplied config is
broken because it does not accept incoming network connections? If
it is not going to be accepting incoming mail, then why would it
need to accept network connections? Am I missing another reason why
Sendmail would need to accept incoming network connections? (Outside
of making it easier to crack if a bug is found?)
