Patch by Robert Scheck for sendmail >= 8.15.1 which ensures that the loopback IPv6 address is handled the same way like the IPv4 one. However since sendmail >= 8.15.1 uncompressed IPv6 addresses are used by default thus the previously used IPv6:::1 gets changed to now IPv6:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1 (if not compiled with -DIPV6_FULL=0 for the prior format).
