The only thing I found was that it leaves 'purgestat' behind, which was a hardlink to the old sendmail binary. > Will I be able to handle my database maps without additional library > instalation? 8.9.3 should be able to read your /etc/sendmail.cf and all else from your earlier version just fine. -- Crist J.
