I would probably not use the 8.9 or earlier series of Sendmail. There
was a bug in Sendmail versions earlier than 8.10 that made it
possible for remote users to destroy your mailbox.  Check
bugtraq for more information (do a search for sendmail, it was around
April this year).

Of course, knowing Debian, the fix has probably been backported.
