	I'm assuming that you are using smail 3.1 (which is probably
a baseless assumption). Anyhow I've had smail 3.1 running as sendmail
on my system for some time. 

	The only catch on an upgrade is to have it stored somewhere
else so that when there upgrade walks on the sendmail binary that
you have a binary to drop back in.
