Didn't I just say this somewhere? Yes, on the 23. Anyway, # cd /usr/ports/mail # fetch ftp://ftp.sendmail.org/pub/sendmail/sendmail.8.9.3.tar.gz # tar xzf sendmail.8.9.3.tar.gz # cd sendmail-8.9.3 # make # make install > Will this way lead me to the proper sendmail instalation? Yep. > Does it take care for permission/path names/whatever? Yep. The only thing I found was that it leaves 'purgestat' behind, which was a hardlink to the old sendmail binary. > Will I be able to handle my database maps without additional library > instalation? 8.9.3 should be able to read your /etc/sendmail.cf and all else from your earlier version just fine. -- Crist J.
