Hi,
I sent a question to the list earlier this week, which I think might be
related to your problem. I installed RaQ4-3rd-Solarspeed.net-Sendmail
Release 8.10.2-SOL3
some time ago. When checking latest updates I saw the new 16620. However, I
did not install as 16429 was a prerequisite, and there was a problem with
this patch. As far as I am aware, Solarspeed's patch  above is a replacement
for 16429.
Regards,
Declan.
