new sendmail package release 20060622

This release is currently in production on my servers, under sendmail 8.13.7.

Download it here:

Highlights:

- SCORE! This release now features scoring-based rejection, so instead
of suffering quarantine noise for accounts you don't dare reject mail
to no matter how screwed up it is, you can finally set a threshold.
See notes below for details, or download the sample.mc and
sample-policy files and take a look at how to enable.

- now with right anchors separable into their own DBM file, for more
flexible, policy-driven handling (I added this so I could accept trap
mail for feeds even when access.db would have rejected it)

- some cleanup of extraneous rulesets; still not under the <100 set
limit sendmail 8.13.x seems to want, but getting closer.

- some major updates to fight the recent spate of ratware

- no longer queries SURBL/URIBL with unqualified hostnames found in
various headers :(

- various other minor tweaks and fixes
