I'm mostly surprised it (mostly) builds without issue on 4.3BSD. I'm
fairly certain this is using the original BSD compiler, too.

Run fsck that filesystem!
That certainly solved it. ;)
Looks like it had been awhile since I completely fscked it.

Sendmail of the vintage you're working with is riddled with security
holes, but it's rock-solid as far as moving mail around. It's been
about a decade since I've run it, but one thing to keep in mind is that
you shouldn't really edit the .cf file directly, but use the .mc files
(IIRC) which are processed by m4 to generate the .cf file. One can get
Sendmail up and running pretty easily that way.
There's a reason it's not exposed to the public. ;)
I need it to send all email through frontgate/mercia for the sake of security. ;)
If you decide to keep hacking on it, I can probably help; I wrangled
Sendmail for many years in a large-scale ISP environment, but I'm pretty
rusty at it. I switched to Postfix around 2004 or so.
Don't blame you for switching. ;)
More modern sendmail seems to be a bit friendlier. The older ones are just difficult to convince they should smarthost.

Of course it is. Did anybody write some kind of catalog for DECnet?

I've been thinking we should maybe set up our own IP network as well (that you can VPN in to), I'll soon have the equipment + bandwidth to do this.

I can't say I see a need for a private TCP/IP network setup.
