- I'm in the process of choosing a sendmail for a system that is a mix of BSD
- and SysV.3.2 and will become SysV.4. I've noticed that there is yet another
- version of Sendmail available. I can re-port Sendmail 5.65 or I could move
- up to New & Improved.
-
- I would appreciate it if someone could tell me in plain language what the
- differences are between 5.67 and 5.65. I am particularly concerned about the
- mailer timeout enhancement, since the TODO claims that this invalidates the
- old .cf's. We have several customers waiting/depending upon 5.65 .cf
- formats. In at least one case, the customer has a set of changes for the
- file, but has not slightest clue what the changes actually mean. I would
- really hate to add to the overtime I'm already putting in figuring out where
- the 5.65 mods are inadequate for 5.67.
-
- While I'm at it, I'm also interested in:
-
- Has anyone ported 5.65 to SysV.4 and what tips you might have to offer?
-
- Has anyone ported 5.67?
-
- How many people are contemplating changing to 5.67?

- when everyone is out to get you, being paranoid is just good thinking.
