Current production versions of sendmail and BIND are:
	sendmail 8.7.6	ftp://ftp.cs.berkeley.edu/ucb/src/sendmail
	bind 4.9.4	ftp://ftp.vix.com/pub/bind/4.9.4

Sendmail 8.8.0 has just been released, but it did not go through an extensive
beta so I would recommend waiting for 8.8.1 or 8.8.2 for firewalls, let
other people shake the bugs out of it.

BIND 4.9.4 is mostly a bug fix release for 4.9.3, so I would say go for it.
BIND 4.9.5 has some interesting new stuff like support for CIDR style
allocation of the in-addr.arpa domain, but it is still beta, so wait.

Hope this helps
