Jim:

I seriously don't remember but we have had excellent luck using:

Bad Rcpt throttle daemon to block IPs performing dictionary attacks for short periods of time

8.13 sendmail.mc features like:
FEATURE(`delay_checks')
FEATURE(`greet_pause', `1250')  dnl 5 seconds
FEATURE(`ratecontrol', `nodelay', `terminate')
FEATURE(`conncontrol', `nodelay', `terminate')

and access file changes:
 ClientConn:             5
 ClientRate:             10

We also use these configuration settings to disable identd and to try and lower the number of connections that are just trapped in a wait status:

define(`confTO_IDENT', `0s')dnl
define(`confTO_DATAINIT',`2m')dnl
define(`confTO_ICONNECT',`5s')dnl
define(`confTO_MAIL',`2m')dnl

Regards,
KAM

Did you ever figure out the sendmail DOS problem?  We are getting it
bad on our server!
