Thanks for sharing, These settings should be integrated to the GUI by
default 

In such a way that they can be reinstalled in case sendmail.cf is
overwritten by an update.

This information has been on the list for some time now. But making it
easier for users to turn on or off Blacklists from the GUI, might help fight
spam.

Many users do not now what sendmail.mc or sendmail.cf is, a small help with
some of these settings can make huge changes in mail delivery, bandwidth
costs, processor usage, and power. 

Although using black lists are a choice, they should be an "easy" choice for
un-experienced users (some can be called lazy).

Bluequartz intends to do server adminsitration easier 

Its certainly a wish list for new year.

Happy Holidays
