Yesterday I said I wouldn't produce another version until after USENIX,
but I was hit with a bunch of serious bugs this morning (at least one
of which dates from release 5).  So, check it out -- FTP.CS.Berkeley.EDU,
directory ucb/sendmail.  The welcome message will give you details.

Changes:
        Fix yet-another problem with environment handling, pointed out
                by Yoshitaka Tokugawa and Tom Ivar Helbekkmo.
        Some heuristics to try to limit resource exhaustion problems
                if a downstream host has been down for a long time.
        Fix problem with incorrect host name being logged in "Connection
                timed out" messages (from Tom Ivar Helbekkmo).
        Fix some ANSI C problems (from Takahiro Kanbe).
        Properly log message sender on returned mail during queue run.
        Count number of recipients properly.
        Fix a problem in yp map code.
        Diagnose "message timed out" (from Nakamura Motonori).
