Beginning with the first rev of this patch for Solaris 8 Sun's sendmail
is upgraded from the old version 8.9.3+Sun to the new version 8.10.2+Sun.
What does this mean to you?  Added security fixes and other new features.

Below you will find two sections.  "MIGRATION CHANGES" describes behavioral
changes in 8.10.2+Sun, and provides advice to system administrators in using
it.  "NEW FEATURES" lists the new features provided, and includes pointers
to additional information.

I. MIGRATION CHANGES

    1. Backwards compatibility

       There are many improvements in 8.10+Sun over 8.9.3+Sun (see below).

       Installing this patch will replace some of the old configuration
       files with new configuration files.  The old sendmail.cf
       will be renamed with a .old extension, and the new main.cf and
       subsidiary.cf files will be installed with a .new extension.  The old
       sendmail.cf can be used by restoring it.  Use of the new files, however,
       is strongly recommended.

II. NEW FEATURES
