As for SRS implementation in sendmail, i would hang on a little bit and
check out SES, which is what SRS has evolved into over the past months.
There are quite a few pages detailing how to implement ses/srs in
sendmail, but the code has actually released there will be a milter to
follow (i imagine) and some sendmail patches, etc.
