Sendmail 5.59 and bind are both Berkeley code.  To quote from 'main.c' in
sendmail (partial quote only):

	Redistribution and use in source and binary forms are permitted
	provided that this notice is preserved and that due credit is
	given to the University of California at Berkeley.

So throw out your binaries and use the source!  When the IDA patches
come out, there's YP support built in ( bind is the name server from
4.3bsd ).  I think sendmail and named/bind were distributed last year
in comp.sources.somthingorother.  Or grab them from ucbarpa since you
are on the internet.
