Uh, no I didn't.  Man resolv.conf doesn't say anything about how to do
that, and it's never been necessary.

I might add that I *think* this behavior began when I upgraded to
4.8-p4.
I don't remember it doing this in -p3.

BTW, I should add that I have not touched any configuration for
sendmail.
I have need only for sendmail to send the daily reports to a user
account on the same machine, and I check that account via popa3d from my
XP box.
