[ale] 'nuther Sendmail vulnerability

[Bob Toxen]

Time to upgrade to sendmail 8.12.9 to protect against a new remote
root vulnerability.  An attacker need only send mail to your system,
even if you download mail through other means such as POP or IMAP,
to own you.

There are patches for earlier versions of Sendmail too.  Note that this
new version will bitch about older sendmail.cf files.  Upward
compatibility is a beautiful thing, Eric.

The Linux Distributions do not yet have this.  www.sendmail.org does.
