Granted, the discussion thread you point to dealt with sendmail 8.11.6.
However, I think the sum of the discussion came down to this, in which the
writer said it didnt work...

  I can't find any other references to what they are doing, but I'm
addressing the same issue you are right now, and happened to run across
this.   I'd certainly be interested in hearing if people have other
knowledge about this.

  Cheers.
