After an update today, sendmail is refusing to accept mail. I'm

Hmmm, this update seems to have done a lot of odd things.

That's the cron email telling me about the update.
It's not at all clear to me what it's complaining about.
root@dirac:/var/spool/mqueue-client# od -t x1 qf45U* | grep 0d
root@dirac:/var/spool/mqueue-client#
Unless it's the bare CR in the body of the email - which should be fine!
Moving the queue files from mqueue-client to mqueue and fixing up the
owner and perms and they delivered fine.
