I am an old Unix hack from the 70's. So .cf was "just another<br>
scripting language of expressions" for us. If I had used<br>
real .cf replacement expressions, even fewer would get it.<br><br>
Yea, I am one of those guys that uses the .cf file, not<br>
the .mc file. Hey... I already bit the bullet. We had no
choice. ;-)<br><br>

For those of us who use the original Sendmail intead of Postfix, could
you elaborate? That looks like a Postfix config file from what I remember
of others talking about it. "Real" sendmail.cf is a very arcane
language of rules for translating one kind of address to another, with
lots of hacks to produce side effects like DNS lookups for RBL's and
ultimately effect delivery. It's so arcane that no one can read it
anymore and the authors use a higher-level language (sendmail.mc) that
gets translated to the final version with a library of m4
macros.<br><br>
As a wild guess, I'd translate that to mean that all mail to bfhq@ea.com
gets sent to the bit bucket.<br><br>
