   Or you can get Ease 3.1 - which is a higher level language for
   sendmail files. Ease does not replace sendmail. 

Sendmail is ++ungood.

My experience has been that Ease is not much better than sendmail,
especially considering that the alternatives are so much better.

The mailer of choice around these parts is Zmailer, by Rayan
Zacharaissen <rayan at ai.toronto.edu>.  It is understandable, works
well, has readable config files, and it is designed to scale well.
