    All of the *fixes* since 8.11.5 has been back ported into every 
sendmail release from Red Hat since.  Additional features since 8.11.5 
are questionable.

    Then again, I don't run RH's sendmail, I always compile from 
sendmail.org.  However, someone I know does run rpms, and I can find 
very few differences between his rpm, and my source.
