Sun's V8 sendmail is currently operated in default V1/sun mode,
that is, you should not make any changes to your sendmail 
configuration file to use this V8 sendmail patch.

There are a couple of things which are different when you run the   
V8 sendmail patch in V1/sun mode when compared to the old Sun V5 
sendmail:

(1) When using the V8 sendmail.mx, you need to add "dns" in the 
    hosts entry found in your system's /etc/nsswitch.conf file.
    You also need to make sure that the option "I" is defined in 
    the sendmail configuration file.  By default, the option "I" 
    is alreday defined in Sun's standard configuration file shipped 
    with this patch.

(2) In case you have "dns" in the hosts entry in your system's
    /etc/nsswitch.conf for use by other applications and you 
    don't want sendmail to use DNS lookup, with this patch you 
    can turn off the sendmail DNS lookup by commenting out the
    "OI" line defined in the default standard configuration file 
    shipped with this patch (see example below).

	example:  commenting out "OI" in configuration file to
		  turn off sendmail DNS lookup 

	# Turn on the DNS name look up
	# OI

(3) The V8 sendmail statistic program, mailstats, prints out mail 
    statistic in a different format from the old V5 mailstats; however, 
    same information will be shown.

(4) Rebuild mail.aliases on your NIS master

	# /usr/lib/sendmail -bi -oA/var/yp/<domain>/mail.aliases
	   
Last but not the least, if you're running YP/NIS and using NSKIT for 
your mail aliases build, you'll need to get the NSKIT patch for bug 
1226906 in order to have your mail aliases built up correctly with this
V8 sendmail patch.  Otherwise, "mkalias" won't work.
