            Bug ID: 259147
           Summary: mail/sendmail: Unbreak aliases file continuation lines
                    after 8.17.1
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any

After upgrading to sendmail 8.17.1 I find that continuation lines, as
documented in aliases(5), no longer work:

    # svn diff
    Index: aliases
    =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=

I found a thread in the comp.mail.sendmail google group with a patch:

(After unmangling the whitespace) it fixes the error, I'll attach a version=
 of
the patch.
