Install 8.8.3 to fix the bug. Bye, Wolfgang. This is not the right aproach. 1. As somebody has written, people should be able to get sendmail from *.freebsd.org without digging for it. sup.freebsd.org had just 8.7.6 with the patch in question. 2. The patch in question SHOULD work (Somebody showed that the line being discussed is not that important) 3. In general (although it does not seem to be the case now), transition from one version to another one is not a painless process, because of configuration files This situation can be more sofisticated when you have a cluster of computers with different platforms with common infrastucture. (I am not getting into details, you know them better than me) IgoR
