	get 2.2.5-RELEASE or -current.

	cd /etc/mail
	make

	populate /etc/mail/denyip.local and /etc/mail/spamsites.local
	according to taste. use /etc/mail/ips.txt and 
	/etc/mail/domains.txt as examples.

	add /etc/mail/sendmail.cf.additions to your .mc or .cf file
	kill -HUP `head -1 /var/run/sendmail.pid`
	cd /etc/mail; make install

	its all in the /etc/mail/README
