Eric Allman is currently working on sendmail-8.8, and there has even been an pre-alpha test of it. There's not going to be any more 8.7.x releases unless there are security holes in it. And most likely, the same hole will apply to 8.6.X as well, so there's little to be gained by staying back. >Tom Cheers, -Peter
