Sendmail 8.13.0 released.....

With a cool new feature:

"New map "socket" to query maps via TCP/IP sockets."

Now you can write a small daemon that looks up information and query it
from sendmail rules. This feature along with the milter (filtering
during the smtp session before the message is accepted) feature allows
you to integrate sendmail with pretty much anything. Combine that with
mimedefang (allows you to write rules in perl) and you have a very
powerful and flexible mail system.

Check this out:
