Comment 1 Matthew Miller 2006-07-10 21:37:52 UTC
Fedora Core 3 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security
updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and
reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and
hasn't been resolved in the current FC5 updates or in the FC6 test
release, reopen and change the version to match.

Thank you!

Fixed in rawhide in RPM sendmail-8.13.7-3 or newer.
