Hi folks.

I would like to upgrade my sendmail to version 8.8.3, but, alas, I've got 
BSDI 2.0 w/ patches.  The BSDI 2.1 U210-029 patch will not install on my 
system.  :(

I obtained the generic sendmail source, but, according to the READ_ME, 
BSDI and FreeBSD systems have serious problems with the m4 command, as 
compiled generically.

We rely haeavily on m4, so I am concerned about the upgrade!

Has anyone gotten the upgrade to work on a similar system, and if so, 
what did you do?  Do you use m4?

Any pointers appreciated!
