Subject: sendmail 8.8.4-1 : error in debian.m4

Package: sendmail
Version: 8.8.4-1

debian.m4 was not updated for 8.8

The line

define(`LOCAL_MAILER_FLAGS', `mn')dnl

should read

define(`LOCAL_MAILER_FLAGS', `mrn9')dnl

The character 9 (Mailer-Flag 9) enables mime-auto-convert

Also, the character '9' in sendmail 8.8.4 opens up a security hole that
gives anyone on the Internet root access to your machine. Be glad that
it wasn't included :)

Sendmail 8.8.5 is out and the security hole is fixed, but the file
