Hackaraoke Title - Sendmail Original - Graceland Author - N. R. "Norm" Lunde Intro - Apologies to Paul Simon Sendmail The Internet gateways were pinging Like a pack of submarines I am traveling through the network Using traceroute Blasting out ICMP I'm talking to sendmail sendmail With TCP/IP I'm talking to sendmail Daemons and forgers and crackers And we're all talking to sendmail My physical layer is 10 Base T It's a lot like my phone cable But I've reason to expect That I can still connect To sendmail Mail comes back to tell me it's bounced As if I didn't know that As if I didn't know her address As if I had forgotten Her login doesn't start with 's' And she says losing data is a flaw in the design Messages should get there all the time Everybody thinks that they know How to talk to sendmail With TCP/IP I'm talking to sendmail Daemons and forgers and crackers And we're all talking to sendmail And my transport providers Are streams and Berkeley sockets I'm looking at streams and Berkeley But I've reason to expect That I can still connect With sendmail There is a host in New York City That dials me up to get UUCP And sometimes when I'm dialing, calling Or batching up the email I say Oh, so this is what they need They need a way to talk to sendmail And they say losing data is a flaw in the design Messages should get there all the time Everybody thinks that they know About sendmail, sendmail I'm talking to sendmail For reasons I cannot explain There's some part of me wants to hack sendmail And I may be obliged to expand Every alias and bang-path Or maybe there's no way to route it now Maybe I've a reason to believe There's something to receive From sendmail
