It seems that some vendors have changed sendmail enough that config files for vanilla (i.e. Berkeley) sendmail don't work with the vendor-supplied version. Our standard .cf file works fine with 5.59, but breaks when I give it to either the Ultrix 3.0 sendmail or the SunOS 4.0 sendmail. I'm sure the required changes are minor, but I really have no way of knowing what is different about the vendors' versions. Rather than try and figure out a black box, we just run 5.59 on everything. Moral: throw out that /usr/lib/sendmail that came from your CPU vendor and use the one from ucbarpa.berkeley.edu.
