	Is it possible for other Apollo user's to get a copy of your
	modified sendmail? My network has only 20 nodes (running SR9.7
	and SR10.1), but we occasionally get in a situation where so many
	nodes are trying to acess the /usr/spool/mqueue directory that
	the directory itself becomes locked up -- which then causes the
	sendmail daemons to go wild with repeated trys to access the
	directory. The poor node on which the directory resides may
	receive in excess of 700 network I/O's per second when this
	happens!

Our mail shark Paul Killey is willing to put together a ftpable release of our
sendmail in his spare time.  Since he is doing it in his spare time, it may take
a while to complete.  One of us will announce it when it is available.
