MIR is no longer acting as a mail exchanger for earlham.edu e-mail.
After bringing up BARIS as a mail exchanger with MIMEDefang and other sendmail filtering capabilities, we have disabled this capability on MIR. MIR has never been able to properly use the milter features of sendmail to allow us to use MIMEDefang or other filters for decreasing spam. This is due primarily to the difficulty of building a good RPM package for a milter-enabled sendmail on MIR. Since BARIS is the same architecture and operating system and KE, building the appropriate sendmail package has been quite easy.
