Hi!

Switching over to sendmail 8.12 i instantly missed 
the postmaster Security-Warnings. 
My sanitizer version is 1.138.

I've found the reason in the servers procmail logfile:
/usr/lib/sendmail: illegal option -- U.
The option is now deprecated.
What did "-U" mean and how to deal with that now?

The corresponding line in html-trap.procmail is:
MTA_FLAGS_CMDLN=${MTA_FLAGS_CMDLN:-"-U"}

And not to forget:
Your sanitizer successfully guarded our M$ systems since
(and including) "love-letter". 
Thank you!
