It appears the latest solaris10 patches/kernel update split sendmail into two separate services (client and server). However, once I reboot my host I get the error below. I found a bug on this but it states it has been fixed in svn_103. Being that I am running an earlier version it appear my only option is a workaround noted on the bug report. Has anyone else seen this issue and do you know if there is a fix on the way? Thanks.<br>

Yep. It's because you don't have IPv6 configured, but your <a href="http://sendmail.cf" target="_blank">sendmail.cf</a><br>
is trying to use it anyway. Check your <a href="http://sendmail.cf" target="_blank">sendmail.cf</a> file for the following<br>
line:<br>
<br>
O DaemonPortOptions=Name=MTA-v6, Family=inet6<br>
<br>
comment it out, and clear the error with svcadm.<br><font color="#888888">
