  go to ftp.redhat.com and go to the updates directory
/pub/linux/redhat/updates/6.2/en/os/i386

  and look for their sendmail.  It has been updated.   get their
sendmail-cf also.  I believe the default config for the updated packages
is to not relay.

  to find out where packages have put their files, run

rpm -qli sendmail
rpm -qli sendmail-cf

  you can also do this on the cd:

rpm -qlip *.rpm >~/rpmsdisk1.txt

  it gives you a text file of where everthing is located and a brief
description, in your home directory.
