backslashes anymore. A single backslash is enough. Changed the
definition in all affected packages. For those that are not caught, an
additional check is placed into bsd.pkginstall.mk.
- Startup script now 1/2 works as in it will start the daemon but not stop it :)
- Update smx.conf for 0.0.Alpha9.0
- Add MESSAGE
- Add local hostname to mt via INSTALL
we need some of them. This does not do a full "make check" it just builds
the tools. See patch-ac.
- One of the options in smx.conf (CDB_gid) requires the GID of the smx group
and as this could change from system to system we do this via the INSTALL
script using a tool supplied by sendmailX. It's a bit messy but looks to
work OK and the package remains portable. Hopefully, at some point in time
they will swap to using the group name as opposed to a GID.
- Fix the phreads detection for 1.x and 2.x. sendmailX should now spot
native threads on 2.x and GNu Pth on 1.x.
- Initial testing on 1.x shows the build crashing with OpenSSL errors on a
"make check". For the moment I'd suggest building without OpenSSL support
on 1.x untill this can be looked into fully.
fix PLIST
update TODO
fix files/Makefile references
fix typos in files/sendmailx.sh
specify logging directory on startup
absolute reference to socket directories in smx.conf
fix typo in smx.conf
- Note that sendmailX now comes with it's own hacked copy of db. This shouldn't
conflict with the other db* packages in pkgsrc. However, I don't know
how other packages may react when they see two version on db4 in the same
directory. You have been warned.
- Removed db4 dependency.
- Don't run the sendmail setup script on completion.
(or more) persistent processes, four of which are multi-threaded. A central
queue manager controls SMTP servers and SMTP clients to receive and send
e-mails, an address resolver provides lookups in various maps including DNS
for mail routing, and a main control program starts the others processes and
watches over their execution. The queue manager organizes the flow of messages
through the system and provides measures to avoid overloading the local or
remote systems by implementing a central control instance.
sendmail X.0 is intended to be used as a secure and efficient mail gateway. It
does not provide any mail content modification capabilities, e.g., address
masquerading.
