[ale] weird mail issue

[plr00 at charter.net (philip ross)]

When I first started to use sendmail to masquerade as bellsouth (a while 
ago), I had a problem where my sendmail was connecting to the sendmail 
that was running at the site where the e-mail was being sent.  That 
wasn't always working.  I then added the following parameter to my 
sendmail.mc file and now sendmail connects to bellsouth's sendmail and 
it sends the e-mail on its way.

MODIFY_MAILER_FLAGS(`SMTP', `+0')dnl
