* If you are not currently running sendmail V8.7 or later, you will have to grep(1) for ???/[^0-9].*/??? instead. If
you??™re not running sendmail at all, you won??™t be able to do this, so for now just read along instead.
?? Lines that begin with F or K might also appear. If so, ignore them for now.
