Fix Recommendation

Obtain and install a more recent version of "Sendmail", which does not implement the DEBUG feature.

Check Contents

Check the version of "sendmail" installed on the system using:
# echo \$Z | /usr/sbin/sendmail -bt -d0

The above command should yield the following output:
Version AIX7.2/8.14.4
Compiled with: DNSMAP LDAPMAP LDAP_REFERRALS LOG MAP_REGEX MATCHGECOS
MILTER MIME7TO8 MIME8TO7 NAMED_BIND NDBM NETINET NETINET6
