I've been running sendmail on my linux box for ages.  That's no problem.  Tho 
it seems like BBBS/L won't talk to send mail on the same box.  I run my nntp 
stuff with leafnode and BBBS/L talks just fine to that, since leafnode will 
talk just fine to an nntp client (BBBS/L in this case).
No, I'm wanting to ditch the whole "BBS" thing without ditching the FidoNET 
thing.  I'm guessing I'll need to break out INN again and slog thru the 
IFMail dox/readmes/faqs...  I've not seen a whole lot of guidance there, and 
since I've never fooled with m4 scripts for sendmail I'm not sure how well 
I'll do...
At any rate, BBBS/L will hit the road as soon as I get another package 
running that'll answer the phone with a FidoNET handshake...
