FreeBSD -stable and -current include the latest revision of sendmail, though -stable doesn't yet include the latest BIND. I'm not sure about -current on that one. Upgrade to the latest versions of both, and you'll be in much better shape. Using smrsh is a very good idea as well if you can stomach the upgrade. Disabling the sendmail daemon on hosts which don't receive email on a regular basis works fairly well as well - instead, run them in a cron job every now and then as 'sendmail -q'. Depends on your preference, of course. -Dave Andersen Lo and behold, Pedro F.
