You can download the sendmail 8.10.0 RPM from Red Hat's "rawhide"
directory. I applied this over my 6.1 system and it works fine. Save your
old mc file and any /etc customizations and migrate any custom settings to
the new redhat.mc file.

Linux (the

You should be able to find the binary RPM nearby.

You can try http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/sendmail.html to find many
sendmail versions available in RPM format, including the rawhide build of
8.10.0. I use rpmfind.net to find all my RPMs. Just replace the package
name in the above URL to find other packages.
