[ale] Bellsouth Sendmail Fix

[Stephen Touset]

It might be having trouble being parsed by sendmail, thus, sendmail 
isn't actually using it as a relay. Send an email to another account of 
yours (on a different machine, outside your network) and check the mail 
headers to see if it's passing through a Bellsouth SMTP server.

I have no clue how sendmail handles problems in the configuration file 
(whether or not it simply discards the value or refuses to init), but if 
it does the former, this could be why it works for you.
