Comment: if you do bring sendmail up to date, particularly for
security reasons, please strongly consider adding SMTP AUTH and or
SMTP-over-TLS to the default binary, for authentication reasons.
Right now, getting either feature to compile into sendmail from
pkgsrc is daunting. Having better authentication in sendmail from the
beginning would be a Very Good Thing.
