What you need to do is get sendmail 8.5 and don't define either of NEWDB or NDBM (or OLD_NEWDB). You want it to ignore the database stuff altogether. Alternatively you can wait for the release of FreeBSD (any day now), which incorporates the new DB code and therefore sendmail 8.* will work with NEWDB defined. -- adam@veda.is
