Up to this point I have been staring at the readme.cf file. I thought to my
self, "huh?" Maybe I am approaching many of the man pages with the wrong
mindset, I know. HOWEVER, many times the man pages and readme.cf files (and
those similar) are not very clear. They can be SO granular with SO many
options that the newbie gets overwhelmed. Just need a nudge, every so
often.

In this omitting the ending octet implies a wildcard (i.e. 192.168.1,
implies 192.168.1.1-192.168.1.254) Perhaps I was asking the wrong question.
Once changed via webmin, I see the affect on the .cf file, this topic and
others relating to sendmail makes much more sense now.
