pursuant to this, and in accord with being up-to-date (among other
things), 8.12.11 has been imported into -current, and will also appear
in the 2.0 release.

for those users of sendmail from -current out there, other than the
knowing that sendmail has been upgraded, there's nothing else you
really need to do.  unless you feel like rebuilding your sendmail.cf
and submit.cf files, but that's not all that pressing.
