No, but sendmail is completely broken at mine (timeouts in all TLS sessions)
and this is caused by this patchset, as it works fine if I undef NAMED_RESN.
Hence I am looking for possible explanations. 

Unfortunately it is not one of these two problems, as I still get the
tiemout problem with your updated patchset. There must be other bugs.

While there, even with NAMED_RESN there is are still many sites sendmail
cannot connect to because of SSL_OP_TLSEXT_PADDING introduced in 
OpenSSL 1.0.1g. Since that cause troubles on latest NetBSD releases, we
need to add that patch which was accepted upstream by sendmail maintainers:
ftp://ftp.espci.fr/shadow/manu/patch-sendmail_readcf.c

Busy on something else, I am sure you can understand that.
