- Patches removed that are now in the distribution
- More MILTER dokumentation
- sm-client.sh.sample have now 'restart' command.
- Add standalone startupscript for all sendmail deamons
- Update pkg-message
This version fixes a long-standing MIME (7 to 8-bit) conversion bug
and several smaller problems, e.g., a possible communication problem
between the MTA and libmilter, a bug in handling (invalid) addresses
containing 8-bit characters, a possible problem with small timeouts
being lost on slow machines if itimers are used, and the handling of
the 421 reply code and timeouts in the SMTP delivery code. There are
two changes in the msp feature that may change the behavior: MX lookups
are turned on for the SMTP mailers and hence `[localhost]' is used as
default instead of `localhost', and confTIME_ZONE is set to USE_TZ in
submit.mc. A complete list of changes can be found in the release notes.

Sendmail 8.12.x has an implementation bug in the milter
code that causes the milter daemons to fail when they
are bombarded with 20-30 messages from a mail server.
mail sendmail[82323]: g1N53lNY082323: Milter
(milter-amavis): select(read): Interrupted system call
The patch available at the link above definitely fixes the Milter timeout
problem. Before applying the patch, I would see this every 5 to 15 minutes
in our logs.
here hasn't been another one since I applied the patch 5 hours ago.

A little milter application I installed (spamassassin related) was
hanging every once in a while. I'm not sure if this patch will fix it,
but it sure seems like the right step to take. Without it, the libmilter
sources are compiled without the -pthread, even though the library is
linked with -pthread (rather needlessly, since it is a static lib only).

the ECHO macro is set to "echo" by default, but it is set to "true" if
make(1) is invoked with the -s option while ECHO_CMD is always set to
the echo command.
This ports will creates a new user and group named smmsp.

You need to create an "sumbit.cf" for local submission.
sendmail 8.11.6, failing DNS AAAA lookups
Has been mentioned on freebsd-stable
Subject: something strange with sendmail 8.11.6 on FreeBSD
Submitted by: gshapiro@freebsd.org
Sendmail, Inc., and the Sendmail Consortium announce the availability
of sendmail 8.11.6 and 8.12.0.Beta19.
These new versions fix a security problem reported by SecurityFocus
regarding command line processing. This vulnerability is present in
sendmail open source versions between 8.10.0 and 8.11.5 as well as all
8.12.0.Beta versions. Therefore, sendmail 8.12.0.Beta users should upgrade
to 8.12.0.Beta19.
The problem was not present in 8.10 or earlier versions. However, as
always, we recommend using the latest version. Note that this problem is
not remotely exploitable.
Fix a possible race condition when sending a HUP signal to restart
the daemon. This could terminate the current process without
starting a new daemon. Problem reported by Wolfgang Breyha
of SE Netway Communications.
Only apply MaxHeadersLength when receiving a message via SMTP or
the command line. Problem noted by Andrey J. Melnikoff.
When finding the system's local hostname on an IPv6-enabled system
which doesn't have any IPv6 interface addresses, fall back
to looking up only IPv4 addresses. Problem noted by Tim
Bosserman of EarthLink.
When commands were being rejected due to check_relay or TCP
Wrappers, the ETRN command was not giving a response.
Incoming IPv4 connections on a Family=inet6 daemon (using
IPv4-mapped addresses) were incorrectly labeled as "may be
forged". Problem noted by Per Steinar Iversen of Oslo
University College.
Shutdown address test mode cleanly on SIGTERM. Problem noted by
Greg King of the OAO Corporation.
Restore the original real uid (changed in main() to prevent
out of band signals) before invoking a delivery agent.
Some delivery agents use this for the "From " envelope
"header". Problem noted by Leslie Carroll of the
University at Albany.
Mark closed file descriptors properly to avoid reuse. Problem
noted by Jeff Bronson of J.D. Bronson, Inc.
Setting Timeout options on the command line will also override
their sub-suboptions in the .cf file, e.g., -O
Timeout.queuereturn=2d will set all queuereturn timeouts
to 2 days. Problem noted by Roger B.A. Klorese.
CONFIG: Fix parsing for IPv6 domain literals in addresses
(user@[IPv6:address]). Problem noted by Liyuan Zhou.
