Good to hear...  but I'm still a little wary of running them on a
production box.

;)  Yep;  I know.  I briefly tried rebuilding and using 8.12.3 at one
point, but it required a number of other libraries not "standard" on
even 7.3 (hesiod, Cyrus-SASL, and one other IIRC).  I don't know what
they're used for specifically, and I don't know enough about how
sendmail fits together on the code side to know how I could safely
remove these dependencies.

I'm also stuck with RH7.0 for the time being, although I'll be moving up
to 7.3 Real Soon Now (as soon as I finish building a new server).  There
were a few additional dependencies required to drop back to 7.0 from
7.3.
