Hah. It has been ten years, just about to the day, since the Morris
Worm hit thousands of machines (when the net only *had* 60,000
machines!) and one of the primary vectors it used was a *deliberately
introduced* sendmail security hole (the DEBUG "feature" was
specifically intended to allow the author to update the sendmail
binary on a machine he didn't have root access to.) Some of us, at
least, have no plans to ever trust sendmail again...
