	i found the above "LMTP support" patch for 8.10.1.  i'll make it
	work for 8.11.0 and integrate into pkgsrc/mail/sendmail (8.11.0),
	and remove the need for pkgsrc/mail/sendmail893.

	unfortunately, 8.11.0 does not integrate the "LMTP support" part
	from the wide patch.  so we need "8.11.0 + wide patch" or
	"8.9.3 + wide patch" for smtpfeed to work.

		IPv6 support	better LMTP support for smtpfeed
