Have you ever created a sendmail.cf without using M4?

I started using sendmail before sendmail started using M4. I'm still using
the hand-hacked sendmail.cf I built up over time. I had to muck with the
sendmail package on my Linux distro which really strongly wanted to
generate sendmail.cf's from the M4 instead of using mine.

I only wish postfix had as good diagnostic tools for analyzing address
transform and delivery selection.

[magic:root:/etc/mail:1202] sendmail -bt
ADDRESS TEST MODE (ruleset 3 NOT automatically invoked)
Enter <ruleset> <address>
