I run all the below under RHES3 and still use up2date quite happily to 
keep all the main server programs updated.

good luck in finding something under sendmail to do all that - I dont 
think you will be able to, especailly when it comes to virtualisation, 
sendmail does not do virtual domains at all well and you will end up with 
a rather messy setup.

you _may_ get away with it using postfix however but I doubt you will find 
the functionality under postfix that vpopmail provides.
