For those of you "hacking" Sendmail source, there is another way to
catch the virus.

Change the definition of the prog mailer in the config file to use
something something other than /bin/sh.  I wrote a small program to
"catch" any messages sent to the prog mailer and save them for future
reference.

e.g.:

Change this:
Mprog,	P=/bin/sh,   F=lsDFMe,   S=10, R=20, A=sh -c $u
to this:
Mprog,	P=/bin/catcher,   F=lsDFMe,   S=10, R=20, A=sh -c $u

/bin/catcher can do whatever you feel is apropos.  Saves one
from hacking cc, etc, too.  Just a thought.
