I've been reading through the sendmail source a bit, looking for
security holes similar to that offered by the now-famous DEBUG command,
and I figured that before I go too far in fixing bugs I should get a
more recent version (we have 5.51, which came on the 4.3BSD tape).  Is
there one, or should I wait until the powers-that-be here purchase
4.3bsd-tahoe?

Also, if anyone has ported the 4.3bsd-based sendmail to 4.2bsd, I'd
like to know about any problems that were encountered (we have to run
4.2bsd on some of our systems because the 4.3 massbus disk driver
handles ECC errors incorrectly when using Emulex controllers, but
that's another story).  Someone here who ported the 4.2bsd version to
4.3 said that the syslog() log levels had to be changed, so I
imagine there are similar problems when porting in the other direction.
