For some reason, sendmail 8.11.1 is not checking addresses when they are
in <" "> and allows them to be relayed. Is there any fix to this?

Can you give an example (with a logfile entry) that
shows the problem?

Do you use sendmail.cf generated for sendmail 8.11 ?

echo '$Z' | sendmail -bt

1. "T <regex>" Before ";d' & "$", whichOnesARE tagged?

I've gone and tagged a whole bunch
of stuff, some tags applied via
T<findSpamRegex>.

Now, I want to ";d" thus getting each one of those
tagged-files marked for deleting.

Once I hit "$", it's forever-goodbye to those emails.

---

But I'm a bit scared; maybe one came from
my *boss*, eg:
    Urgent!  Take 5pm to Panama; sorry for the hot time!
    (zap after reading): overheard some wild inside-info
    Joe succeed!  Doubled size of Martian dong-plant.  Party at 7pm; be there!

Question: is there currently an (easy) way
to have screen of just those emails
that we've tagged?  

So we can untag any mistaken choices.

------

Recall this about Emacs:

When you're in a DIRED buffer, you can go down
the file-list and mark this one and that one
and this other one "D" -- to be deleted from
the disk, ie from the computer.

A somewhat dangerous operation, if you've made
a mistake and marked-D some files you later discover
that you actually needed to keep.

So, what emacs dired-mod does is, when you
hit "x" (char, bound to the "delete all D-marked
files" command),

it first creates a clear area of screen,
and than shows in that space the *names*
of *all* the files you marked "D" on and
that it is now just about to actually
delete (due to you hitting the "x").

So, you scan your eyes over all those names,
and only if you are happy with what you've
chosen, you reply "yes" to your x-caused
prompt "delete these files?", will it then
actually delete them.

Similar safety-scheme would sure be nice in mutt!
