I'm not in favor of a config-file format that's Turing-complete. (In
other words, you could - theoretically - program a copy of sendmail *in*
the sendmail configuration language.)

There are arguments in favor of this, I suppose - flexibility being the
main one - but I'm a fan of the Unix principle of "do one thing well".

 Sincerely,
