Special Install Instructions:
-----------------------------
 
NOTE 1:  It is necessary to restart sendmail after the patch
         installation in order to be running with the latest

         the following commands as root.
 
         # /etc/init.d/sendmail stop

NOTE 2:  If you have not modified the /etc/mail/sendmail.cf and

         then refer to the /usr/lib/mail/README file on how to
         customize these files.
 
         Review the contents of /etc/mail to determine if any
         config files added by this patch need to be merged with
