sendmail update left me in a fix

[Parker Jones]

The 5th April sendmail update screwed up mail on my RH-7.3 box.

In /var/log/maillog I'm getting lots of these:
Apr  7 01:28:17 stancomb sendmail[6702]: k36NSHhs006702: localhost 
[127.0.0.1] did not issue MAIL/EXPN/VRFY/ETRN during connection to MTA

Not knowing anything about sendmail configuration this has left me in a fix.

Out of urgency I reverted sendmail.cf to a version prior to the update and 
it now seems to work ok.  A diff between the old and new sendmail.cf's shows 
several pages of changes which I can't even begin to understand.  I am not 
sure of the implications of using the old sendmail.cf...

I appreciate the effort you guys put into packaging this code, but it's a 
royal pain when new problems like this are introduced.
