bind and sendmail

[Brad]

 Hi,
       If you goto www.freshmeat.net, and search sendmail, I am sure I have
seen a script that will run you through the setup process by asking you a
few questions. Then setting itself up according to your answers. Don't hold
me to this, but I am sure I have seen such a script. That might be what ur
after :)
