Well, I live in Australian and we have flying foxes all over the place,,

harmless, but potentially annoying animals, they are a real pest for
anyone trying to grow certain fruit, (like Mangos) my father owns a
mango plantation and they eat everything in site..

a real pain, perfect analogy for sendmail if you ask me..

we have them in plague proportions in some areas of australia..
I believe they are thinking of culling them, like we have to do with
Kangaroos (ie kill a certain number of them each year to keep the numbers
down.)

I've seen some on Bali. Frightening beasts.

This software comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY. Even if it erases your
hard drive, too bad. Although we did fix that bug from the last release.
