The consensus is that:
(1) Sendmail 8.7.5 is available at ftp.cs.berkeley.edu in /ucb/src/sendmail
and should be installed.
(2) Although some people chose to, it isn't necessary to use the DBMDEF=
-DNEWDB option.
Instead, the references to db and library ldb should be removed from
the makefile.
(3) The current sendmail.cf will not work with sendmail 8.7.5 (or 8.7.4
or 8.7.3) and needs
to be reconfigured.
(4) The instructions are lengthy and should be read carefully. (Damn!)
