RaQ 4's use Sendmail 8.10 with four outgoing queues.  I've uploaded
[S]RPMs to ftp.cobaltnet.com/pub/products/raq4/ if you're interested. 
If you are going to buy another mail server, I'd advise a RaQ 4 for its
stronger CPU and, as mentioned, more capable sendmail configuration.

The 8.10 RPMs are not a drop-in relacement for the sendmail on the RaQ
3.  Be ready to rework some configuration files.

Watch your memory usage.  Swapping or running other processes that
frequently access disk will seriously degrade your mail server
performance.
