Relevance?  This is a clean install circa a few days ago.  Thus, the 
"install" tag.  No updating needed.  (The sendmail date is 20030324.)

And, the UPDATING file specifies /etc/mail/submit.cf, which is in fact 
already installed.

Relevance?  It specifies a "fairly complicated" setup, that is not 
installed by default.  

Security scripts, daily, weekly, et alia are installed and run by 
default.  They no longer work properly.  This is a recently introduced 
bug, that needs fixing at installation time, not by some hapless 
sysadmin having to figure out every time they install a new machine.

Is that the suggested fix for default install?
