When I answered ToPPi's initial question I took a look at the Sendmail.SRPM file from Cobalt. You know, if an SRPM is available, then an upgrade of any programm to a newer versions is almost always a walk in the park if a few requirements are met: - Compile time options and run time options must not be that different - There are no extensive source code patches in the old programm SUN/Cobalt just patched a minor issue in the 8.10.2 sourcecode and the rest of the changes involve the location of files and POP-before-SMTP which has been "hacked" into sendmail.cf. I don't know what changes Sendmail 8.12.3 (or versions in between that and 8.10.2) introduced, aside from Milter support and more bugs. :o) I'm more into Postfix on generic Linux boxes and prefer not to touch Sendmail on the Cobalt's unless I have to. However, I could imagine that changing just the tarball within the SRPM package and dropping out the old SUN patch will bring us almost all the way towards our intended destination. The somewhat more complicated things then left to be done will be to get POP-before-SMTP back the Cobalt way. -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen / With best regards Michael Stauber [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unix/Linux Support Engineer _______________________________________________ cobalt-developers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://list.cobalt.com/mailman/listinfo/cobalt-developers
