Maybe I misunderstood but what I thought you did was treat the sendmail.cf as assembler for a weird processor and then you wrote a higher level language that compiled down to sendmail.cf. Which, if that's that you did, is pretty studly. I think Grant was asking what you did the higher level language in, he was wondering if it was m4 (which I doubt, if I were doing that it would either be some nasty perl script that I thought was going to be small but wasn't, or I'd just go to lex/yacc/C).
