Install the db3-devel package.

I think db3-devel was there at some point, but db3 is only RH >=7. With
RH 6.x the db.h is part of glibc-devel. This requirement is a tricky one.

That would be way cool. In the latest sendmail rpm @
http://people.redhat.com/laroche/ has commented out support for AUTH
relaying. Uncoment these:
TRUST_AUTH_MECH(`DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 LOGIN PLAIN')dnl
define(`confAUTH_MECHANISMS', `DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 LOGIN PLAIN')dnl
FEATURE(delay_checks)dnl
and m4 > /etc/sendmail.cf . IMHO, these should have been in by default,
but...
