ECO KIT SUMMARY:

An ECO kit exists for sendmail on DEC OSF/1 V2.0, V3.0, V3.0B, and V3.2.
This kit addresses the following problems: 

   o A potential security vulnerability has been discovered where
     under certain circumstances authorized users may gain unauthorized
     privileges. This patch fixes cert # 0295.

   o sendmail would get a segmentation violation if it received
     an address that was not in compliance with RFC822.  It has been
     fixed to reject the bad address.

   o sendmail is currently shipped with fuzzy-name matching enabled and
     with no convenient way to disable it.  This patch provides for the
     enabling/disabling of fuzzy-name matching.
