SCO and sendmail have an unfortunate history. Most SCO systems were configured with MMDF - sendmail was available, but mmdf was more often used (see replace mmdf with sendmail).

When sendmail was used, it was often an older version, rife with security problems, and troublesome to replace. That hasn't changed. Compiling any app on SCO is likely to be difficult and sendmail is of course no exception. Searching for pre-built sendmail binaries is often the easiest path.

Sometimes SCO patches update sendmail somewhat and checking http://www.sco.com/support/security/ might get you somewhere too.

A very weird thing about SCO's sendmail was that it needed MMDF configuraton files: see http://groups.google.com/groups?selm=7b7vf3$j15$1@telesys.tnet.com
