Have you ever created a sendmail.cf without using M4?
Sendmail 5.6mumble or so, for a machine that was on UUCP, Arpa/Milnet, and Bitnet and gatewayed between them. Bitnet was particularly ugly because (a) EBCDIC and (b) no way to represent a null line in NJE. Bonus points for the bisync interface card that claimed to do DLE stuffing for SDLC but didn't... And of course, approaching any address that had all 3 of %, ! and @ in them was loads of fun because the semantics depended on which interface they came in on...
