Hmm, funny you should mention that:

I've been running that version for about a week, which was done as a trial 
import.  I could do an 8.8.0 import in about 20 minutes, based on the last 
time I did it.  I'm not aware of any major problems that have turned up 
since release, although a couple of relatively minor problems have turned 
up on the sendmail beta list.  One was a NULL deref in a printf, which 
doesn't affect us, and the other (I think) was something that turns up 
only when using fcntl locking, pollibly allowing duplicate delivery over 
uucp.  Again, no problem for us since we use flock, not fcntl.

We could certainly use some of the newer features (persistant host status 
for starters) on freefall to lighten the mail load dramatically, as well 
as more bullet-proof anti-spam filtering hooks.

Cheers,
-Peter
