I think the advisory should also include the following:
# cd /usr/src/share/sendmail
# make install

I run a custom hostname.mc in /etc/mail . Which I dont think is to
extreme. If I do the following:
cd /etc/mail
make

I then compare hostname.cf to sendmail.cf and it does not get
built with updated information. This is because I still have the
old m4 files in /usr/share/sendmail/cf unless I do the additional make
install from above.

Thanks,
