+20150706:
+ sendmail has been updated to 8.15.2. Starting with FreeBSD 11.0
+ and sendmail 8.15, sendmail uses uncompressed IPv6 addresses by
+ default, i.e., they will not contain "::". For example, instead
+ of ::1, it will be 0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1. This permits a zero subnet
+ to have a more specific match, such as different map entries for
+ IPv6:0:0 vs IPv6:0. This change requires that configuration
+ data (including maps, files, classes, custom ruleset, etc.) must
+ use the same format, so make certain such configuration data is
+ upgrading. As a very simple check search for patterns like
+ 'IPv6:[0-9a-fA-F:]*::' and 'IPv6::'. To return to the old
+ behavior, set the m4 option confUSE_COMPRESSED_IPV6_ADDRESSES or
+ the cf option UseCompressedIPv6Addresses.
