The missing "FAIL_MAIL_OVER_500_MILES" M-Sexchange checkbox

A great story for those patching sendmail again (and again and again...repeat until postfix is installed :-))

This guy is a great sysadmin. A MSCE from the click-and-drool generation would spend the rest of his/her life trying to find the "Fail mail over 500miles" checkbox/wizzard/reg-entry thingie before reinstalling it again (and if it fails reinstalling again......)

Update...a new sendmail vulnerability...time to patch again :-(. Maybe we can save everybody some time and just include a ROOT_SHELL feature in sendmail 8.13..
