Details

Updated sendmail packages that include bug fixes for invalid paths to the
deliver binary and the lmtp socket are now available.

Sendmail is a very widely used Mail Transport Agent (MTA). MTAs deliver
mail from one machine to another. Sendmail is not a client program, but
rather a behind-the-scenes daemon that moves email over networks or the
Internet to its final destination.

These updated sendmail packages provide fixes for the following bugs:

* the file /usr/share/sendmail-cf/mailer/cyrus.m4 contained a hardcoded
path to the deliver binary. This path was wrong on multilib (64-bit) systems.

* the lmtp socket path for the cyrusv2 mailer was incorrect.

All users of sendmail are advised to upgrade to these updated packages,
which resolve these issues.
