i just typed my own  DHS.org domain name (ex: lloydix.2y.net) in there and
it's worked great!

yeah, sendmail's complicated, but man i tried qmail once...  i couldn't
even get the damn thing to install correctly and once i finally got it up
and running, i was already so fed up w/ it that i went back to sendmail...
i can do everything i need in sendmail, so if it ain't broked, don't fix
it...  also, i agree about the "cute" uninformative messages...  my wife
actually responded to one because she didn't realize it was
auto-generated! : ^ )
