Of course, there's nothing wrong with rolling your own installation or running something for the ports collection (including using another MTA like Postfix or whatever), either. And you can continue running sendmail setuid-root if you like, not that you're improving your network security by doing so. Running things not as root is good. If you're looking to run something closely resembling the latest stable sendmail, there isn't much point to not use the version which comes via tracking FreeBSD via cvsup.... -Chuck PS: Reading the release notes or running mergemaster would help catch these issues.
