Starting in version 8.10, sendmail listens on port 587 port to support MSA
(Mail Submission Agent). This is intended to be used by POP/IMAP clients
such as Eudora instead of the "SMTP Server" setting they use today.
Currently, there aren't many clients which support MSA, but it is expected
that support for this will increase over time.
Go google.
sounds like an interesting feature at least :)
