Hi hackers at freebsd.org

There is a missing double quote " in 
8.3 & 9.0 & 9.1RC2 src/etc/sendmail/freebsd.mc
8.2-RELEASE & earlier are OK.

Here's a diff -c to .mc
The diff is not to fix it, but to help generate a freebsd.cf to
understand the difference.  The patch for a fix would befar more trivial :-)

Above, jhs3 seems bad & jhs4 seems good.

A copy of this diff + follow up is in

The error appeared in 8.3 & 9.0 & 9.1RC3, it was OK earlier :

6.4-RELEASE/src/etc/sendmail/freebsd.mc:dnl FEATURE(dnsbl, `blackholes.mail-abuse.org', ``"550 Mail from " $&{client_addr} " rejected, see http://mail-abuse.org/cgi-bin/lookup?" $&{client_addr}'')

7.3-RELEASE/src/etc/sendmail/freebsd.mc:dnl FEATURE(dnsbl, `blackholes.mail-abuse.org', ``"550 Mail from " $&{client_addr} " rejected, see http://mail-abuse.org/cgi-bin/lookup?" $&{client_addr}'')

9.0-RELEASE/src/etc/sendmail/freebsd.mc:dnl FEATURE(dnsbl, `dnsbl.example.com', ``"550 Mail from " $&{client_addr} " rejected'')

9.1-RC3//src/etc/sendmail/freebsd.mc:dnl FEATURE(dnsbl, `dnsbl.example.com', ``"550 Mail from " $&{client_addr} " rejected'')


Why others didnt notice earlier:
  It's just a comment, I assume not checked by anything automatic at
  freebsd.org.

How I caught it:
  I have my own src/etc/sendmail/ Makefile diffs & fdef'd common.cpp
  that generates various .mc files for each of my hosts, & many
  versions, which filters the .cpp to create .mcfiles, inc. a check
  file that should be an exact match with that version's freebsd.mc
  ... & cpp complained: unmatched ".

I will send-pr unless I hear otherwise.
  But as 9.1-RELEASE is imminent, & it would be a trivial anodyne
  fix to a comment for re@ , so they want to fix, so cc'd to re at .

Cheers,
Julian
