You are free to run whatever software you want to on your OpenBSD boxes. Rather than taking the sendmail from 3.9-stable, why not go to sendmail.org and grab the latest version and compile that? If you enouter errors you can look to the OpenBSD files to look for anything like patches. Me, I'd create another 3.9-stable box and try this before doing it on a system you use. You shouldn't have many problems. --STeve Andre'
