Because of this, how would I upgrade to sendmail 8.10.0 ? > I just built 4.0 STABLE but I still have sendmail 8.9.3 I believe that Sendmail 8.10.0 is slightly broken. In tests, unless I did something wrong, SuperSafe does not create queue files in mqueue, instead queueing in memory. So, in the case of a system crash mail would be lost. To see for yourself, install 8.10.0 and run a long running cron job (must be cron not at/batch) and notice that no queue files are created until enough output has been created. 8.9.3 creates queue files regardless of the amount of output spooled.
