on which device(s) should sendmail listen. if you only need sendmail
as a lokal daemon, 127.0.0.1 will be fine.
if you like, you can change it to 0.0.0.0, what means that sendmail will
listen on _all_ available devices.

no the PID is given by 'srvpid'. i think you can ignore 'msppid'
without any problems.
