Compile and install seemed to go fine. I updated /etc/mail/mailer.conf to reflect the new sendmail binary. I moved the original sendmail binary from /usr/sbin/sendmail to /usr/sbin/sendmail.old to check that everything was working. I started up pine and tried composing an email to myself, but I get an error when it tries to send saying it can't find /usr/sbin/sendmail. It's trying to use the old binary instead of the new one at /usr/local/sbin/sendmail. I thought updating /etc/mail/mailer.conf was enough to tell the system the location of the sendmail binary to use?
