And that doing a   kill -HUP `cat /etc/sendmail.pid`   will Do The Right
Thing.  I got bit by this when I upgraded to some Sendmail 8.X I can't remember,
and there were *two* lines in sendmail.pid - the actual pid, and the
argv[] array used if we need to re-exec ourselves.  So the 'cat' had to
be changed to a 'head -1'.

I seem to remember that the kill -HUP was overkill for Sendmail 8, and that
a simple newaliases sufficed.  Apparently, it now does a stat() call or something
once in a while to see if anybody updated the files out from under it ;)

Your Mileage May Vary.  No caffeine was consumed in the production of this
note (which may have negatively impacted accuracy slightly ;)
