| I need new spam and relay features included in sendmail 8.9.3 or higher.
| 
| I had a colleague in the past working with FreeBSD but he is not reachable for me actually.
| 
| I hope you can help me upgrading this FreeBSD boxes to a resent sendmail with relay and spam filters.

You might want to take a look at smtpd. Its a lightweight SMTP receiver only
program which sits in front of sendmail or any other mail transport/delivery
agent and can do anti-spamming anti-relaying for you. It also means that
your SMTP port no longer takes part in the sendmail-bug-of-the-month club.
Best of all, you still use sendmail to send out mail (and hence don't need
to reconfigure all that stuff) but you get the spam/relay control. smtpd also
allows you to do a bunch of other things (like stopping mail to one user or
one host or from one user of one host or not accepting mail from hosts where
the DNS is at a known spammer network and so on).

IMHO, well worth a look.


Enno.
