Yes of course. Evidently it doesn't work. (been there, mentioned it quite 
some time ago)

It has some relevance since sendmail is *not* executed directly by the
system but through the executing of mailwrapper, which reads
/etc/mail/mailer.conf that holds the location of your 8.10.x binary.
You'll also have to tweak the sendmail related rc.conf parameters to point
to your new binary.

See above.

Note that this is a circumvention of the problem, not the solution :)
