A mail server was returning "451 4.1.8 Domain of sender address ... does not resolve".

All DNS looks fine though. You can check what sendmail sees with: 

$ echo '/mx server.foo.bar' | /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail -bt
ADDRESS TEST MODE (ruleset 3 NOT automatically invoked)
Enter  

> getmxrr(server.foo.bar) returns 1 value(s):
smtp.server.foo.bar.
>
You can also do like: 
echo '/map resolve foo.bar' | /usr/sbin/sendmail -bt -d8.8

Looked at new tar and patch and tested exploit. And sent notes to the PR.

Make binary update for pic issue. The advisory says it was a argument overflow, but I couldn't get it to overflow in the first place.

Since 1.6 upgrade toasted root's crontab and /var/backups of it, I redid it. My rsync is like: 

/usr/pkg/bin/rsync -ave ssh  --exclude "tmp/" --exclude "tmp-*/" --delete --delete-excluded   root@pilchuck:/home/ /home/backups/pilchuck/home
