I tried to install the solaris2.4 recommended patch # 102066-04 (which apparently fixes sendmail bugs). During installation it gave validation errors regarding sendmail's group(which was other in my mail server but it expected it to be bin) and it's size. Anyhow, I made a copy of the original sendmail and installed the patch using the -u option. After that my mailer ddn started behaving wierdly, most of the addresses seemed to be unknown to it (specially the ones outside the country). I backed out the patch and copied the original sendmail(also changed the group back to other) and the damn thing is working fine. Now that you've read the long paragraph above, let me pose my question? Have I done something wrong during the patch installation or is the patch buggy? -- Sujoy
