I would of thought this line: >> Sendmail itself has not been updated... But as it happens the machine stalled with green light on (overnight) , but could not login.. at console or via ssh so performed a hard reboot. The machine came up with sendmail working as it was prior to the update. Thanks for your input... next time I won't assume readers would take my word that something is installed..
