The sendmail configuration language is Turing complete and the sendmail binary is an interpreter for that language which just happens to deliver e-mail as a side effect, so it certainly can do this. I can't tell you how any more, though, because I moved on to using Exim which can't do everything Sendmail can but does manage 99.99% of anything you'd ever want from a modern MTA with a much more readable config file. -- Bruce Nostalgia isn't what it used to be.There's stuff above here
