Ah, OK.  I had seen the notice on the website about this, but wasn't
sure what form that would take.

*shrug*  I'm not complaining;  I knew this was coming but had no idea
what sort of warnings, error messages, missing build dependencies, or
anything else might show up.

Until I can either patch the MIMEDefang build to work with 8.11, or dig
up an "official" RedHat-released sendmail-8.12.x, I'll continue with
2.15.  (Much as I would like to simply go ahead and use the Rawhide
package, I would prefer not to use "development" software on a
production server.)

So far, I haven't seen any signs of missing or mangled email, but I'm
not running a *really* high-volume server.

I'd try to build against the Rawhide sendmail-8.12.5 release, but I
don't have a spare box to do so at the moment.  :(
