Name: sendmail - Sends mail over the Internet

Version: 8.8.7

Description: 

   Sendmail implements a general purpose internetwork mail
   routing facility under the UNIX* operating  system.   It  is
   not  tied  to any one transport protocol -- its function may
   be likened to a crossbar switch, relaying messages from  one
   domain  into  another.   In the process, it can do a limited
   amount of message header editing to put the message  into  a
   format that is appropriate for the receiving domain.  All of
   this is done under the control of a configuration file.

Advertised architectures: numerous - should run on practically any system

Pre-requisites: C - compiler
   Man pages require the new Berkeley "mandoc" macros.
   You'll need a fairly current version of M4 (SysV and GNU work; V7 doesn't).
   Sendmail also likes (but does not require) a current libdb and libresolv.
