Cy.Schubert> Would it be possible to untar the Sendmail 8.11.3 tarball from

-CURRENT already has 8.11.3.  -STABLE will have it Monday.  You can drop in
the tar file to /usr/src/contrib/sendmail as long as you make the changes
outlined in /usr/src/contrib/sendmail/FREEBSD-upgrade.  However, you will
lose the FreeBSD specific changes.  If you don't use smrsh or the
mail.local nofsync or nobiff options, then it won't be much of a problem.

All in all however, I would probably just untar it and build/install it
using the packaged build system that comes with the distribution or wait
until Monday and cvsup.
