A few weeks ago we upgraded the sendmail on our RH 7.2
machine (which runs majordomo 1.94.5) from
8.11.6-3.rpm to 8.11.6.23.rpm to get the buffer
overflow fix.  We immediately started having problems
with our majordomo lists in that messages did not get
sent to all list recipients.  We reverted sendmail
back to 8.11.6-3 and the problem went away.

We'll be doing some testing with sendmail 8.12 before
we upgrade specifically to test whether it breaks
majordomo as the earlier patch did.  I'll let folks
know what we find.  Has anyone on Linux 7.2 upgraded
to sendmail 8.12x and found problems with majordomo?
