Thats all very well where the accounts are local to the machine, or in
some database that sendmail can access, but when used as a relay between
the net and an internal server (e.g. Exchange) I don't know of any way
to make sendmail aware of user accounts in Active Directory.  (short of
manual intervention, and I'm not a great believer in manual
intervention!).  If I've missed a trick here I'd be delighted if someone
could set me right!
