Obviously, I'm a sendmail/netBSD newbie. So, please excuse any obvious
fixes to this problem. 

I'm setting up sendmail. I made a .m4 file with what little sendmail
knowlege I have. I run 4m4, generate sendmail.cf and get the following
errors:

554 /etc/sendmail.cf: line 93: readcf: map arith: class arith not

554 Warning: .cf version level (9) exceeds sendmail version 8.8.8
functionality (7)

The thing that conscerns me most is the last warining. I think 8.8 is what
I'm running (unlike most unix utiilities, there is no -V or --version).
But, the date on the link /etc/sbin/sendmail and /usr/sbin/mailwrapper are
both preinstall (they came with the install).

I've been trying to
install 8.11.0 from the pkgsrc tarball. It fails! I think I may have
tried it about a month ago, and it may have worked (but did not
nessesarily remove older files: see above paragraph). When I tried to
pkg_delete it  and "make reinstall" it still fails because it cannot stat
a long list of files. I've tried to find other executables on the system
(before running pkg_delete) but have found none.

So, now I'm stuck. I can't install the new version. M4 is generating a
sendmail.cf with parse errors. 

namaste,
Mark

BTW - Like I said, I'm new to netBSD. So far, it completely ROCKS!
