The following changes have been MFC'ed from -CURRENT to -STABLE:

1. mail.local(8) is no longer installed as a set-user-id binary.

   If you are using a /etc/mail/sendmail.cf from the default sendmail.cf
   included with FreeBSD any time after 3.1.0, you are fine.  If you are
   using a hand-configured sendmail.cf and mail.local for delivery, check
   to make sure the F=S flag is set on the Mlocal line.  Those with .mc
   files who need to add the flag can do so by adding the following line to
   their your .mc file and regenerating the sendmail.cf file:

       MODIFY_MAILER_FLAGS(`LOCAL', `+S')dnl

   Note that FEATURE(`local_lmtp') already does this.

2. The default /etc/mail/sendmail.cf disables the SMTP EXPN and VRFY
   commands.

3. Now using sendmail's version of vacation(1).

   This change should be transparent except for the new options/features
   available.

4. The sendmail cf building tools (contrib/sendmail/cf) are installed in
   /usr/share/sendmail/cf.

   More work still to come on this.
