  BTW, for those people who may remember a posting of mine several months back 
  bemoaning the fact that HP *still* ships a brain-dead version of sendmail, 
  check out Neil Rickert's version of sendmail 5.65 with the IDA enhancements
  available from uxc.cso.uiuc.edu in pub/sendmail-5.65+IDA-1.4.2.tar.Z

I'm still using 5.61.  I can think of two problems you might have with
sendmail.  One is getting the load average (getla() in conf.c).  The other
is a subtle problem you may not realize you have.  Sendmail opens the alias
db for r/w.  This will fail if you have two sendmails both trying to run at
the same time on different nodes.  You can get a sendmail patched for both
these problems by ftp from maths.su.oz.au (last I checked).
