+       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.
