1. Install latest version of Berkeley DB.

> wget http://www.sleepycat.com/update/snapshot/db-4.1.25.tar.gz
> tar -xvzf db-4.1.25.tar.gz
> cd db-4.1.25
> cd build_unix
> ../dist/configure
> make
> make install
> edit /etc/ld.so.conf and add /usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.1/lib
to list of search paths
> ldconfig

2. Setup devtools/Site/site.config.m4

  define(`confMAPDEF', `-DNEWDB')
  define(`confINCDIRS', `-I/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.1/include/')
  define(`confLIBDIRS', `-L/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.1/lib/')

3. Recompile sendmail

> sh Build -c

4. Install sendmail

> sh Build install

wget ftp://ftp.sendmail.org/pub/sendmail/sendmail.8.12.11.tar.gz
tar -xvzf sendmail.8.12.11.tar.gz
cd sendmail-8.12.11/
cd sendmail
sh Build
cd ../cf/cf
cp /etc/mail/sendmail.mc  .
sh Build sendmail.cf

cp /etc/mail/sendmail.mc /etc/mail/sendmail.mc.bak
cp /etc/mail/sendmail.cf /etc/mail/sendmail.cf.bak

sh Build install-cf

cp /usr/sbin/sendmail.sendmail /usr/sbin/sendmail.sendmail.bak

cd ../../sendmail
mkdir /usr/man/man1
mkdir /usr/man/man5
mkdir /usr/man/man8
sh Build install

service sendmail stop
cp /usr/sbin/sendmail /usr/sbin/sendmail.sendmail
service sendmail start
rm /usr/sbin/sendmail
ln -s /etc/alternatives/mta /usr/sbin/sendmail
