could be, although it still causes problems. i did go read the opinions in
the message archive you cited in another posting, and the actual truth
is between what i posted and what another posted: anyone who
distributes or redistributes sender id is required to register. thus, even
if sendmail bites the bullet and implements, any OS distribution that
includes sendmail will need to register. i can't speak for any of them,
but i'll wager that OpenBSD will choke on this at a minimum. Debian
would except that they don't distribute sendmail anymore. i don't
know what the other linux distributions would do; but redhat is showing
increasing license sensitivity.
