Try rpm -Uvh sendmail*... that'll work!  Also make certain you have
all of the files!  You need:
sendmail-8.9.1-2.i386.rpm         sendmail-config-8.9.1-2.i386.rpm
sendmail-cf-8.9.1-2.i386.rpm      sendmail-doc-8.9.1-2.i386.rpm

You can get 'em via anonymous ftp to server.moongroup.com
/pub/sendmail or... (if it's busy they're at sunsite.unc.edu).

Also... don't forget mailhelp if you need assistance with the new
version.  I'm running it and since I know you're running an ISP you
might want my /etc/mail/access file!

Cheers!

This isn't true in practice -- what we've missed out is Stradivarius's
constant.  And then the aside: "For those of you who don't know, that's
been called by others the fiddle factor..."
