	It does take some doing to warp your mind around sendmail.  But 
once I latched onto the fact that rewrite rules are a data-driven 
self-recursive production rules-based system, similar in many ways to 
the AI programming language known as Prolog (which I had to deal with 
as a senior in College), for me it was pretty much downhill from 
there.

	The documentation on sendmail has gotten much, much better in the 
more than ten years since.
