hello jim,

while it may not be exactly what you're looking for, i suggest that
you take a few minutes to review 'man rc.sendmail'.  judging by those
rc variables, it strikes me as a means to allow for greater
flexibility/granularity in the options.

if you spend a little time at sendmail.org, you *may* find an
authoritative answer to your question.


cheers,
