CERT listed many platforms which I know for a fact do not ship
any recent version. I have just installed vesions 3.2C,D, G and
version 4.0 of Digital UNIX and they all came up with sendmail 5.65

Mind you Dec tend to be better than most. There are vendors that
ship the latest sendmail but they tend to be the ones whose product
I wouldn't touch with a bargepole either.

I've been hearing good things about PDMF. I may try an install.
