This paper shows the user how to obtain the latest version of sendmail in source form, then how to build and install it. Although this process can be simple, many decisions that can complicate it must be made ahead of time. Should the user compile sendmail from the source or obtain it from a vendor? Vendors tend to ship old versions of sendmail with their operating systems. Current versions of operating systems frequently ship V8.11 sendmail. Very old versions of sendmail should be replaced because they are insecure. Newer versions should also be replaced because the latest version (V8.12) contains many new and valuable features.
