Well actually AFAIK sendmail can build with db1/2/3/4 so what we 
probably need to look at doing is modifying the package so that you can 
select which one you want to use.  With jlam@'s recent work on the DB 
stuff it's probably a good idea to do this now using the 
bdb.buildlink3.mk framework if possible.

Along the same lines I don't know why milter-sender is hardcoded to use 
just db3.  Will the package work with another db version ?  Their www 
site seems to be down ATM and the ./configure script _appears_ to look 
for just generic DB support.

I was also going to bump sendmail to 8.13.3 soon so if I get my act 
together I'll try and integrate this with the update.

This is stock sendmail with NetBSD-2

# file /etc/mail/aliases.db
/etc/mail/aliases.db: Berkeley DB 1.85 (Hash, version 2, native byte-order)
