Yes, it is absurd.  The whole situation, were I to tell the entire
story, is absurd.  But, I'm not the IT department and must live within
the choices of others.

Yep, you are right again.

Exactly true too.  Sendmail is so configurable that it probably can do
what I need.  I'm just still to thick to understand the answer.

Getting this working is important but not an emergency yet.  I've spent

can do to connect the dots.

All input is always welcome.
