    - Solaris 8, SunFire280R -

    I applied the latest recommended patch cluster and suddenly I'm seeing
    problems with my sendmail. Could anyone with similar experience help me
    pinpoint the problem patch and tell me if I can remove it? If this is not
    a proper forum to ask, can I get some pointers on where to look?

    Problems I see are:

    - We used to be on V6, but now sendmail requires V4 for the queue file
    version. (unsupported qf file version error)

    - rRFC line causes invalid queue format error (bad line error), and it's
    "almost" the same as RPFD line, so I remove them by scripts, but I'm not
    comfortable with that.

    My problem is similar to what's described here.

    http://www.issociate.de/board/post/213139/Force_sendmail_8.13_to_write_V2-style_qf_files_...._is_it_possible?.html

    There's a slight complication, since we are running 3 daemons, 1st and 3rd
    in the main host and 2nd in a linux box which only handles amavis
    processing.

    sendmail -d0.1 -bv root shows:

    1) main host
    Version 8.11.7p1+Sun

    2) amavis host
    Version 8.13.1

    The "+Sun" part is really giving me a headache. That patch seems to be a
    retro...

    I have some customized configuration so it's not easy to upgrade sendmail
    version. I had to ask for permission to apply patches for a very long time
    before getting this chance. And now I find myself guilty. Which makes me
    feel I can't justify the time spent on fixing them, so I'm hoping to find
    the problem and take that specific patch out...

    Regards,

    Ben Kim
