new release 20070129
This release is currently in production on my servers, under sendmail 8.13.7.

Highlights:
This release now unpacks into enemieslist.com/dist/m4; I recommend
unpacking it in /usr/local. I'm working on a more comprehensive dist
format that will include the various policy, mc, and other files, to
allow for clean installs on virgin systems.
I've removed the embedded XML documentation from the package files; I'll
work on getting the docs autobuilt soon, but it seemed pointless to keep
distributing it as part of the m4 files. Just a heads up to Bryan and
anyone else who diffs the releases ;)
Additionally, this is the first non-alpha release of the sendmail
package with built-in support for querying the patterns db via DNS,
rather than by way of the embedded sendmail K maps.
Expect a huge difference in memory consumption under sendmail, as Bryan
can attest (we've been running it in production here and on Bryan's
servers for the past four months, with no problems at all). There are
limits to the performance of the server itself, however, so I'm going to
be moving the DNSBL to an Intel Mac Mini, which should double our perf,
as well as other options. More on that later.
Those using postfix and exim: please contact me for information on how
to use the EL DNSBL lookup interface.
Finally, the rightanchors file format has changed, as you know :-/
This release supports the new format.
