The 1.1 we have came with 5.59. Unfortunately, it has the (very annoying!)
habit of coredumping all the time. Certainly easily generated mail messages
cause it to die horribly. Thus, I ported 5.61, which was just a matter of
compiling the sources --- except for one workaround to avoid an apparent
bug in sprintf.

I've been meaning to port the IDA-enhanced sendmail, but it's still on the
back burner.
