could you try and build Sendmail from ports?

There are no functiuonla patches to sendmail in the Release,
but the Build enviroment is diffrent.

The port keeps the original enviroment of the build.
So this might show a diffrence here.

build from STABLE/RELEASE:

cc -O -pipe -I/usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail/../../contrib/sendmail/src
	-I/usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail/../../contrib/sendmail/include
	-DNEWDB -DNIS -DNETINET6 -DTCPWRAPPERS -DMAP_REGEX
	-DSTARTTLS -D_FFR_TLS_O_T -D_FFR_TLS_1 -D_FFR_TLS_TOREK
	-I/usr/obj/usr/src/i386/usr/include
	-c /usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail/../../contrib/sendmail/src/main.c

build from ports: (SENDMAIL_WITH_TSL=yes)

cc -O -I. -I../../include
	-DNEWDB -DNIS -DMAP_REGEX -DTCPWRAPPERS -DNETINET6
	-DSTARTTLS -D_FFR_TLS_O_T -D_FFR_TLS_1 -D_FFR_TLS_TOREK
	-c main.c

If you build sendmail from scratch it does behave diffrent:

- you won't have TSL support
- it won't uses the TCPWRAPPERS
- you don't have support for NETINET6

I would guess one of the 3 functions cause the problem.

Please tweak the lines in the sendmail port:
files/site.config.m4 to build without NETINET6 or without TCPWRAPPERS.

I would like to know the results.

kind regards Dirk
