Sendmail version

Jonathan Grymes — Tue, 06 May 2008 16:11:13 GMT

What is the highest supported version of Sendmail for an HPUX 11.23 (itanium) system. With the OS version I just installed(June 2007) Sendmail appears to be 8.11.1. Is there an upgrade?

Shalom,

Do understand that merely upgrading does not make sendmail secure.

Sendmail is a wonderful tool that requires configuration.

I installed Sendmail 813 and verified successful installation. Should the sendmail.cf have gotten rebuilt? It still reflects version 8.11.1. Does it matter?

Hi Jonathan:

> Should the sendmail.cf have gotten rebuilt?

Since it is anticipated that users locally configure their 'sendmail.cf' file, you should find the newer, virgin file in the '/usr/newconfig/etc/mail' directory.

Thanks, I assume then I can copy the sendmail.cf in /usr/newconfig/etc/mail to /etc/mail, correct?

Hi (again) Jonathan:

Yes. You should do a 'diff' of your current versus the new version, first to see what you need to incorporate into the later configuration.
