Well, yes, actually.  I remember having to edit sendmail.cf even for
trivial stuff like setting the sender domain and the outgoing smtp
relay, what, fifteen years ago?  Definitely less than fifteen.  I still
have the first edition of the bat book; it's almost as thick as my
single-volume paperback edition of The Lord of the Rings, and has larger
pages.

More importantly, if you raise your eyes a few centimeters, you'll
notice the word "never" which I think we can all agree is patently
untrue.
