I didn't see an SRPM anywhere...if I had I would have extracted it on my

For sure. In the past 3+ years I've been running qmail, Sendmail's gotten
a whole lot better, both from a security standpoint, and an ease of
configuration standpoint. If qmail is going to remain a desirable
alternative, it has to move forward as well. DJB's licensing stance
doesn't help this, but AFAIK, there's nothing standing in the way of
distributing patched for Maildir tarballs (please, NOT RPMs!) of the
latest Pine and IMAP on www.qmail.org.
