Update to sendmail 8.11.3. This is a maintenance release which
contains bug fixes for problems found after 8.11.2 was released. Systems which use buffered file I/O (like OpenBSD) were not properly fsync()'ing the data (df) file. Although there is little chance of data loss, this is an important fix.
