My impression is that this is a mixed blessing.  It protects you from the
security hole which was exploited by the worm, but it also makes it impossible
to debug a sendmail configuration file.

Isn't there any way that the Ultrix group could fix sendmail so the security
hole is closed, but still make it possible for the local administrator to debug
a configuration file?  DEC - are you listening?
