Just FYI:

With today's new sendmail patches for Solaris 10 (142436-03/142437-03)
there are two interesting changes. The sendmail service is now split
into two services - smtp-sendmail and sendmail-client. So there's (at
last) a clean separation between a local sendmail and one that listens
to the SMTP port.

The other fix reads "teach sendmail start method to build config files
automatically", and indeed it seems to put the focus stronger on the m4
files, creating the cf files on demand on startup.

That brings Solaris into line with OpenSolaris.

svcs -a | grep send
online Mar_15 svc:/network/sendmail-client:default
online Mar_15 svc:/network/smtp:sendmail

I haven't checked that on OpenSolaris yet.

If you have wisely run "netservices limited" and then opened
sendmail for remote connections, you'll need to reconfigure
that service after applying that patch:
# svccfg -s sendmail setprop config/local_only = false
# svcadm refresh sendmail
# svcadm restart sendmail

Its a bug, not a feature that the behaviour is not documented in
the README.
