[Sunhelp] moving from sendmail 8.8.8 to 8.9.3

[Melinda Taylor]

Hi Bill,

I found that compiling and installing sendmail 8.9.3 (on solaris
2.6) was really easy and so I just did that and ditched the old
version. I also found that all the default files worked perfectly
with solaris 2.6.

I will also forward an email with some sendmail rules
for preventing spam relays....

Hope this is what you were after :)

Thanks :)

Melinda
