Does anyone have any experience with the Ultrix-32 1.2 updates? Specifically:

o Has there been any changes regarding Sendmail and domain based addressing?
  Must I still use my hacked Sendmail originally from the 4.2 distribution?

o Does DECnet/ULTRIX really work, and what is the relative difficulty of
  modding a sendmail cf to handle the DECnet mailer? We are already running
  CSNET/PMDF, UUCP for both USENET and local mail, and TCP/IP over a local
  ethernet, so our cf is already interesting :-).

o What are the known compatibility problems between 4.2BSD and ULTRIX 1.2?
  Can I reasonably expect SPICE, CAESAR, C-Prolog, etc. etc. etc. to run,
  or will this be a traumatic experience for all involved?

o Any other general comments, such as software breakage, increased/decreased
  functionality, etc.? Is DEC molding ULTRIX such that only DEC will be
  able to supply software to run under it (4.3 is looking better and better)?

Thanks!
