Sendmail-8.9.3
A new version of sendmail, sendmail-8.9.3, is included with HP-UX 11i.
This version provides additional features compared to the previous
version. The sendmail-8.8.6 sendmail.cf file is compatible with the
sendmail-8.9.3 binary. However, to take advantage of all the new
features provided in this version, it is highly recommended that you use
the default sendmail.cf file provided in the
/usr/newconfig/etc/mail directory. Any site specific changes will need
to be made as required.

• Lightwight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) support for address
lookup
