-If you find that the speed of forwarding to port 25 is limited by the
-SMTP listener's speed, it may make sense to locally spool all the mail
-first and feed it to sendmail after you hang up the network link.
-This shellscript aims to do exactly that.  It would be smarter to

-# Still has some potential problems, with using inline from address.
-# The use of _ is bad because fetchmails uses this if it notices
-# shell escapes.
-# 10th/11/1998
-# Changed to using 3 _@@s to delimit the message, i hope this is ok.
-# Whilst i have tested and used this script, with my demon account and
-# SDPS, it may still have serious problems, that i've not noticed etc.
