Yes, yes, I am very much aware of this. I went to my 7.3 server and ran up2date the other day and updated it. Then last nite, I ren up2date again to pull some more updates and noticed sendmail-cf and devel came down. I didn't realize that RH didn't really label the sendmail update as 8.12 for RH7.3. So when I saw 8.11foo cf and devel packages come down, I was alittle unnerved. I didn't realize the fixed sendmail package for RH7.3 was labelled sendmail-8.11.6-23.73 instead of sendmail-8.12foo like on RH8.
