#    Notes:
#
#    1.  This file is processed by m4(1), so be
#        careful to quote (`') names that match m4
#        reserved words.  Also, within ifdefs,
#        arguments containing commas must be quoted.
#    2.  user needs to be excluded from most lines
#        so that user.alert and user.emerg are not
#        included.  These are generated by old
#        versions of sendmail(8), typically under
#        4.2BSD.
