If you ever start using IPv6, you'll probably want to uncomment the line.

Thanks - I will give it a try. Is there any side effect of commenting
this out?
As per the BugID the workaround was
svccfg -s sendmail setprop config/local_only=false
*Description*
--------------------------------
sendmail[1581]: daemon MTA-v6: problem creating SMTP socket
sendmail[1581]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(root): opendaemonsocket: daemon MTA-v6: cannot
bind: Cannot assign requested address
--------------------------------
these are printed into console and cause problem during expect automation.
Similar problem is described in CR *6722022* but only on local zones in Nevada,
however root cause is the same ipv6 lo0 interface is not present on S10, but
value config/local_only is set to true, therefor sendmail tries to bind to ipv6
interface which fails.
grep DaemonPortOptions /etc/mail/sendmail.cf <http://sendmail.cf> on S10
nightly s10u9_2010-02-18(RE) or s10u9_2010-02-21(RE) is reporting the same as on
Nevada:
-------------------------------
# grep DaemonPortOptions /etc/mail/sendmail.cf <http://sendmail.cf>
O DaemonPortOptions=Name=MTA-v4, Family=inet
O DaemonPortOptions=Name=MTA-v6, Family=inet6
O DaemonPortOptions=Port=587, Name=MSA, M=E
-------------------------------
We did just the standard install, no modification to sendmail configurations.
*Work Around*
change config/local_only property of sendmail to false or bring up inet6 lo0
interface

It appears the latest solaris10 patches/kernel update split
sendmail into two separate services (client and server).
However, once I reboot my host I get the error below. I
found a bug on this but it states it has been fixed in
svn_103. Being that I am running an earlier version it appear
my only option is a workaround noted on the bug report. Has
anyone else seen this issue and do you know if there is a fix
on the way? Thanks.

Yep. It's because you don't have IPv6 configured, but your
sendmail.cf <http://sendmail.cf>
is trying to use it anyway. Check your sendmail.cf
<http://sendmail.cf> file for the following
line:
O DaemonPortOptions=Name=MTA-v6, Family=inet6
comment it out, and clear the error with svcadm.
