After reading this article I deceided to check our version of sendmail.  Well
I'm glad I did, we have sendmail-5.58 and one of the README files specifically
states that this has the ethernet security holes.  We probably didn't worry
much about that at first because we aren't running ethernet, however we will
be running ethernet within the next 4-6 weeks.

Can anyone enlighten me about these security holes and possibly point me in
the right direction for correcting this problem?  Thanks...
