Please take a gander at /usr/share/doc/sendmail/sendmail/README.Debian.gz - it has a quick overview of important matters. Changes: Items that cause a functional difference in the way sendmail works. These items *may* bite you if you aren't careful ! Removed: Items that are not shipped Enhancements: Items above and beyond the base sendmail distribution These will be Debian add ons, or items the sendmail folk consider *not ready for prime time* (the _FFR_'s). These items should *not* bite you, but be aware that other distributions may not have anything comparable. Patches: Items correcting flaws in the original sendmail distribution these items are culled from c.m.s, notes from developers, and user input. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++Sendmail
