Julian,
   I upgraded from 3.22-14 to 3.23-1 this afternoon and my syslog file
looks a wee bit more profane than before.  I'm getting a lot of "oh shit"
complaints, eg:

Sep 23 16:06:21 emerald sendmail[24027]: [ID 801593 mail.info] g8NK6Kjg024027: from=<lam0937 at verizon.net>, size=124822, class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=<20020923200218.UDTX1953.out007.verizon.net at Ffo>, proto=ESMTP, daemon=MTA, relay=out007pub.verizon.net [206.46.170.107]

Sep 23 16:06:27 emerald mailscanner[27703]: Deleted infected messages g8NK6Kjg024027

Version 3.23-1 has coughed up this furball 69 times today for me, versus once
in the previous two weeks with 3.22-14.  Que pasa?
