[ale] Sendmail and Linux 6.0

[Ryan Bridges]

There is an installation script/program that was posted to freshmeat a few
days ago called, oddly enough, 'install-sendmail'.  It claimed to be able
to do configurations like that easily.  I can't attest to how good it is,
but it's there.  I just used LinuxConf.
