# define MAXMAILERS 25 <why "25">

Hi All,

I came across a situation where, the required number of Mailers is
around hundred. But the maximum is defined to be only 25. In this case
I had to do the code change in follwing file and then restart
sendmail.
file::sendmail.h
# define MAXMAILERS 25 /* maximum mailers known to system */

I was wondering how this figure "25" had been decided for "MAXMAILERS"
macro. Is it based on some analysis?? If someone form sendmail.org
could explain, it would be great.

Again how far is it justified and useful to make it configurable?? In
such a way we can support variable number of mailers based on demand.

Thanks and regards,
Puspita.
