Actually this is not such great feat.  Source rpms for sendmail from
later distributions rebuild just fine on RH7.3 installations; maybe
after small tweaks.

Could you elaborate in what sense a version of sendmail distributed
with RH7.3 is "insecure"?  CAN numbers? AFAIK if you want some
features, like really working TLS or some functions separation
(which is indeed a more secure design), then you need a later
version of sendmail but otherwise there is nothing wrong with it.
New features are beyond a fedora-legacy scope.
