2) I have the sendmail 8.9.3 package released by Package master for the
Cobalt Raq3 installed, and would like to upgrade to the sendmail 8.12.8
directly from sendmail.org. Is there any known problems doing this
upgrade on the RaQ3i. Port sentry and the utility that sends me
incremental reports form the log files generated by Port Sentry are the
only command line packages installed on this box, Additionally I have
all the latest updates from Sun, and also have the latest Webalizer from
package master as well as the latest PHP pkg and an older pkg of MySQL
installed.

3) I have been in computers for a long time (20+ years) and have managed
a cobalt server of some sort since  1999, although I fairly comfortable
going in with SSH and doing command line maintenance, and I have
installed the occasional thing the hard way (not using the GUI), such as
Port Sentry, I have not yet tried to update over an existing cobalt .pkg
with a command line installation. Is there someone that would be kind
enough to provide instructions or a link to instructions that will take
me right from unzipping the package (yea, yea, I know - Gzip or Tarball
or whatever it is - forgive and old Dos / Windoze guy :->) and
subsequently installing the new 8.12.8 sendmail over the
sendmail-8.9.3.pkg from package master. We host over 100 domains and I
am just totally paranoid about crashing sendmail, which is why I am
coming to the group for assistance. I could probably muddle my way
through, but I just don't want to take a chance on missing something.

4) After updating I intend to set up sendmail to use the black hole
lists out there starting with the one from mail-abuse.org, I have also
seen some traffic regarding some other ones that some of you are using
as well, which I will likely use as well. Any hints or advice regarding
this would be appreciated.

thank you in advance for considering my plea :-)
