migrated 8.8.5 -> 8.9.1a

Q1:  	new version inserts line breaks in headers like 'Received:', if
	the line is longer than a certain ## of characters.  this is breaking 
	my custom scripts that are used to the old format - all on one line 
	header. is there a way to tell sendmail to stop inserting line breaks?


Q2:   	enabled O DontBlameSendmail=filedeliverytosymlink,
	groupwritabledirpathsafe

      	i have an alias that includes a symlink among other adressees, say,
      	/somedirectory/.current.month.  .current.month is a symlink to a file
      	archive.November98.  permissions on the last file are as follows:

     	-rwSr--r--   1 daemon   system    archive.November98

      	i get an error: can't create output with the 8.8.5 version this setup 
	worked fine.  what am i missing?

thanks!
