        !             6: part of 4.2bsd.  If you do not yet have the distribution online, read

        !            31:                  "part" of sendmail itself; these might be candidates

        !            33:        md        Some m4 files used to isolate machine dependencies.

        !            42:                in them -- these get mapped to lower case due to the

        !            44: 178            Because of the different syntaxes used in envelopes versus
        !            45:                headers, we will occasionally allow syntactically incorrect
        !            46:                headers go out.
