Please take a gander at /usr/share/doc/sendmail-doc/sendmail/README.Debian.gz
(for which you need to install sendmail-doc)
- it has a quick overview of important matters.
Changes: Items that cause a functional difference in the way
sendmail works.
These items *may* bite you if you aren't careful !
Removed: Items that are not shipped
Enhancements: Items above and beyond the base sendmail distribution
These will be Debian add ons, or items the sendmail folk
consider *not ready for prime time* (the _FFR_'s).
These items should *not* bite you, but be aware that
other distributions may not have anything comparable.
Patches: Items correcting flaws in the original sendmail distribution
these items are culled from c.m.s, notes from developers,
and user input.
