I won't claim that what's optimal for me is necessarily optimal for you (or anyone else), but after hearing from some of the folks involved with releasing 8.10 (who told me that even as beta12 it was more stable than 8.9.3, which had been quite solid for me on several machines, both at work and at home), I went ahead & fetched 8.10 from ftp.sendmail.org & installed it on a laptop running 4.0-RC3 (which I'm typing on at the moment), and it seemed to work just fine. That was yesterday morning; following that, yesterday afternoon I did the same on an UltraSPARC running Solaris 2.6, again with no trouble at all. Biggest "issue" is that some files have changed their (default) names, so those of us who are accustomed to looking for /etc/sendmail.cw need to get used to looking for /etc/mail/local-host-names, for example. (This is all documented in the cf/README file, which is even more of a treasure-trove of useful information than usual.) Anyway, I guess my point is that sendmail is strictly a user-level program -- it's easy to install a new release without being too concerned about what release of what OS you're running.
