Bugfix: the MISSING_USLEEP feature was used backwards.

+20010130
+
+ Workaround: Linux usleep() is void, BSD/Solaris usleep()
+ returns int, don't use it. File util/random_sleep.c.
+
+ Made local maildir bounce/defer handling mode consistent
+ with local mailbox delivery. File local/maildir.c.
+
+ The smtp client now defers delivery when all MX hosts have
+ no A record. File: smtp/smtp_addr.c
+
+ Bundled the man2html and postlink quick hacks so people
+ can do their own manual page processing. See scripts in
+ the mantools directory.
+
+ Updated the reference to sendmail in the html/index.html page.
+
+ Added note about the Cisco PIX "fixup smtp" bug when "."
+ and "CRLF" arrive in separate packets. File: html/faq.html.
VIRTUAL_README for detailed examples. This code is still new. Once
it stops changing it will become part of the non-beta release.

+<h4>Cisco PIX "fixup protocol smtp" bug</h4>
+
+The Cisco PIX has have a bug when running software older than
+version 5.2(4) or 6.0(1).
+
+<p>
+
+The bug ID is CSCds90792. The "fixup protocol smtp" feature does
+not correctly handle the case where the "." and the "CRLF" at the
+end of mail are sent in separate packets.
+
+<p>
+
+How does one recognize a mailer behind a Cisco PIX with "fixup
+protocol smtp" enabled? As of version 5.1 and later, the fixup
+protocol smtp command changes the characters in the SMTP banner to
+asterisks except for the "2", "0", "0" and space characters.
<p>
+When you connect to a mailer behind such a filter you see something
+like:
+
+<blockquote>
+<pre>
+220 **************************************0******0*********20 ****200**0*********0*00
+</pre>
+</blockquote>
+
+<h4>IP path MTU discovery</h4>

A little background is in order. With the SMTP protocol, the HELO,
MAIL FROM and RCPT TO commands and responses are relatively short.
When you're talking to sendmail, every command and every response
