Redhat9 and Sendmail patch issue

[Steve Phillips]

The patch you are refering to should be applied to the sendmail sources 
that you can download from the sendmail site. However, if you are 
rebuilding from source you may as well get the latest version which wont 
need the patch.

What you _should_ be doing is setting up the redhat 9 security updates 
from the fedoralegacy project and using that to keep your system updated. 
However, it is important to note that Redhat 9 is rather old and dated now 
and you would possibly be better off looking at updating the entire OS.
