I've been using sendmail-8.11.1 (no encryption) to talk to MTAs all over
the place, many of them so old it is scary. No problems seen at this end.
This is to be expected, BTW: They can't just go in and release an MTA which
doesn't talk to the rest ot the world, now can they.

Turn on encryption, and try sending attachements > 1MB and tell me if
you see any problems, like emails sitting in /var/spool/mqueue for a day
or two until they go out. I can guarantee you will.

The only things sendmails < 8.10.x all suffer from is the crappy mapper
code. This causes all kinds of weard problems (logging not complete,
undelivered mail), especially if an external problem mucks around with the
mapper files (those .db things for example).
I had no problems with 8.11.x not talking to qmail or any other MTA.
