sendmail 8.12.2 has been MFC'ed into -STABLE (RELENG_4).

sendmail 8.12 has been developed with two main topics in mind: enhanced
security and better performance.  sendmail is by default not set-user-ID
root anymore which avoids potential local root exploits.  See
/etc/mail/README (after running mergemaster) for information about possible
gotchas with this new version.

For more information about the new functionality in 8.12, visit:

http://www.sendmail.org/8.12.0.html

/usr/src/contrib/sendmail/RELEASE_NOTES and
/usr/src/contrib/sendmail/src/SECURITY may also be of interest.

Aditionally, the default /etc/mail/sendmail.cf (based on
/usr/src/etc/sendmail/freebsd.mc) no longer uses
FEATURE(`relay_based_on_MX') and sendmail_outbound_enable now
defaults to "YES" in /etc/defaults/rc.conf.
