We've been lacking a pkgsrc webmail package for a while. I still haven't
figured out how to package IMP and make PHP4 work with the shared IMAP
module. But in the meantime, here's SquirrelMail, a straightforward
implementation of a webmail gateway to IMAP server implemented completely
in PHP4.
1.08: Jan.4,2001
smtp.c:
Successful recipients were not logged if the final recipient
was rejected in a SMTP transaction.
reported by Koji Kawano <kawano@eng.trans-cosmos.co.jp>
An access to conn->host->currect encounters NULL at the
beginning of SMTP connection establishment. So checks inserted
for safety.
reported by Makoto MATSUSHITA <matusita@ics.es.osaka-u.ac.jp>
dns.c:
fallbackmx will work with A/AAAA only hosts
commom.h, main.c, dns.c, smtp.c:
Option -5 supported for IPv4 or IPv6 only platform to use
fallback gateway to IPv6/IPv4 cloud. Unless -5 specified,
messages will be bounced back from IPv4 host to IPv6 host
(AAAA only MX) or from IPv6 host to IPv4 host (A only MX),
what was default action of old versions of smtpfeed.
You also want to specify fallback host which can reach
IPv6/IPv4.
Major changes with snapshot-20001217
====================================
This release involves little change in functionality and a lot of
small changes to lots of files. The code is put out as a separate
snapshot release so that I have a tested baseline for further work.
All time-related configuration parameters now accept a one-letter
suffix to indicate the time unit (s: second, m: minute, h: hour,
d: day, w: week). The exceptions are the LDAP and MYSQL modules
which are maintained separately.
The mysql client was partially rewritten in order to elimimate some
memory allocation/deallocation problems. The code needs more work,
and needs to be tested in a real production environment.
The local_transport and default_transport configuration parameters
can now be specified in transport:destination notation, just like
the mailbox_transport and fallback_transport parameters. The
:destination part is optional. However, these parameters take only
one destination, unlike relayhost and fallback-relay which take
any number of destinations.
Incompatible changes with snapshot-20001210
===========================================
If this release does not work for you, you can go back to a previous
Postfix version without losing your mail, subject to the "incompatible
changes" listed for previous Postfix releases below.
When delivering to /file/name (as directed in an alias or .forward
file), the local delivery agent now logs a warning when it is unable
to create a /file/name.lock file. Mail is still delivered as before.
The "sun_mailtool_compatibility" feature is going away (a compatibility
mode that turns off kernel locks on mailbox files). It still works,
but a warning is logged. Instead of using "sun_mailtool_compatibility",
specify the mailbox locking strategy as "mailbox_delivery_lock =
dotlock".
The Postfix SMTP client now skips SMTP server replies that do not
start with "CODE SPACE" or with "CODE HYPHEN" and flags them as
protocol errors. Older Postfix SMTP clients silently treated "CODE
TEXT" as "CODE SPACE TEXT", i.e. as a valid SMTP reply.
This snapshot does not yet change default relay settings. That
change alone affects a dozen files, most of which documentation.
This may be an incompatibility with some people's expectations,
but such are my rules - between code freeze and release no major
functionality changes are allowed.
Several interfaces of libutil and libglobal routines have changed.
This may break third-party code written for Postfix. In particular,
the safe_open() routine has changed, the way the preferred locking
method is specified in the sys_defs.h file, as well as all routines
that perform file locking. When compiling third-party code written
for Postfix, the incompatibilities will be detected by the compiler
provided that #include file dependencies are properly maintained.
Major changes with snapshot-20001210
====================================
This snapshot includes bugfixes that were already released as
patches 12 and 13 for the 19991231 "stable" release:
- The queue manager could deadlock for 10 seconds when bouncing
mail under extreme load from one-to-one mass mailings.
- Local delivery performance was substandard, because the per-user
concurrency limit accidentally applied to the entire local
domain.
The mailbox locking style is now fully configurable at runtime.
The new configuration parameter is called "mailbox_delivery_lock".
Depending on the operating system type, mailboxes can be locked
with one or more of "flock", "fcntl" or "dotlock". The command
"postconf -l" shows the available locking styles. The default
mailbox locking style is system dependent. This change affects
all mailbox and all "/file/name" deliveries by the Postfix local
delivery agent.
The new "import_environment" and "export_environment" configuration
parameters now provide explicit control over what environment
variables Postfix will import, and what environment variables
Postfix will pass on to a non-Postfix process. This is better than
hard-coding my debugging environment into public releases.
The "mailbox_transport" and "fallback_transport" parameters now
understand the form "transport:nexthop", with suitable defaults
when either transport or nexthop are omitted, just like in the
Postfix transport map. This allows you to specify for example,
"mailbox_transport = lmtp:unix:/file/name".
The MYSQL client now supports server connections over UNIX-domain
sockets. Code provided by Piotr Klaban. See the file MYSQL_README
for examples of "host" syntax.
out of date - it was based on a.out OBJECT_FMT, and added entries in the
generated PLISTs to reflect the symlinks that ELF packages uses. It also
tried to be clever, and removed and recreated any symbolic links that were
created, which has resulted in some fun, especially with packages which
use dlopen(3) to load modules. Some recent changes to our ld.so to bring
it more into line with other Operating Systems also exposed some cracks.
+ Modify bsd.pkg.mk and its shared object handling, so that PLISTs now contain
the ELF symlinks.
+ Don't mess about with file system entries when handling shared objects in
bsd.pkg.mk, since it's likely that libtool and the BSD *.mk processing will
have got it right, and have a much better idea than we do.
+ Modify PLISTs to contain "ELF symlinks"
+ On a.out platforms, delete any "ELF symlinks" from the generated PLISTs
+ On ELF platforms, no extra processing needs to be done in bsd.pkg.mk
+ Modify print-PLIST target in bsd.pkg.mk to add dummy symlink entries on
a.out platforms
+ Update the documentation in Packages.txt
With many thanks to Thomas Klausner for keeping me honest with this.
8.11.2/8.11.2 2000/12/29
Prevent a segmentation fault when trying to set a class in
address test mode due to a negative array index. Audit
other array indexing. This bug is not believed to be
exploitable. Noted by Michal Zalewski of the "Internet for
Schools" project (IdS).
Add an FFR (for future release) to drop privileges when using
address test mode. This will be turned on in 8.12. It can
be enabled by compiling with:
APPENDDEF(`conf_sendmail_ENVDEF', `-D_FFR_TESTMODE_DROP_PRIVS')
in your devtools/Site/site.config.m4 file. Suggested by
Michal Zalewski of the "Internet for Schools" project (IdS).
Fix potential problem with Cyrus-SASL security layer which may have
caused I/O errors, especially for mechanism DIGEST-MD5.
When QueueSortOrder was set to host, sendmail might not read
enough of the queue file to determine the host, making the
sort sub-optimal. Problem noted by Jeff Earickson of
Colby College.
Don't issue DSNs for addresses which use the NOTIFY parameter (per
RFC 1891) but don't have FAILURE as value.
Initialize Cyrus-SASL library before the SMTP daemon is started.
This implies that every change to SASL related files requires
a restart of the daemon, e.g., Sendmail.conf, new SASL
mechanisms (in form of shared libraries).
Properly set the STARTTLS related macros during a queue run for
a cached connection. Bug reported by Michael Kellen of
NxNetworks, Inc.
Log the server name in relay= for ruleset tls_server instead of the
client name.
Include original length of bad field/header when reporting
MaxMimeHeaderLength problems. Requested by Ulrich Windl of
the Universitat Regensburg.
Fix delivery to set-user-ID files that are expanded from aliases in
DeliveryMode queue. Problem noted by Ric Anderson of the
University of Arizona.
Fix LDAP map -m (match only) flag. Problem noted by Jeff Giuliano
of Collective Technologies.
Avoid using a negative argument for sleep() calls when delaying answers
to EXPN/VRFY commands on systems which respond very slowly.
Problem noted by Mikolaj J. Habryn of Optus Internet
Engineering.
Make sure the F=u flag is set in the default prog mailer
definition. Problem noted by Kari Hurtta of the Finnish
Meteorological Institute.
Fix IPv6 check for unspecified addresses. Patch from
Jun-ichiro itojun Hagino of the KAME Project.
Fix return values for IRIX nsd map. From Kari Hurtta of the Finnish
Meteorological Institute.
Fix parsing of DaemonPortOptions and ClientPortOptions. Read all
of the parameters to find Family= setting before trying to
interpret Addr= and Port=. Problem noted by Valdis
Kletnieks of Virginia Tech.
When delivering to a file directly from an alias, do not call
initgroups(); instead use the DefaultUser group information.
Problem noted by Marc Schaefer of ALPHANET NF.
RunAsUser now overrides the ownership of the control socket, if
created. Otherwise, sendmail can not remove it upon
close. Problem noted by Werner Wiethege.
Fix ConnectionRateThrottle counting as the option is the number of
overall connections, not the number of connections per
socket. A future version may change this to per socket
counting.
Portability:
Clean up libsmdb so it functions properly on platforms
where sizeof(u_int32_t) != sizeof(size_t). Problem
noted by Rein Tollevik of Basefarm AS.
Fix man page formatting for compatibility with Solaris'
whatis. From Stephen Gildea of InTouch Systems, Inc.
UnixWare 7 includes snprintf() support. From Larry
Rosenman.
IPv6 changes for platforms using KAME. Patch from
Jun-ichiro itojun Hagino of the KAME Project.
Avoid a typedef compile conflict with Berkeley DB 3.X and
Solaris 2.5 or earlier. Problem noted by Bob Hughes
of Pacific Access.
Add preliminary support for AIX 5. Contributed by
Valdis Kletnieks of Virginia Tech.
Solaris 9 load average support from Andrew Tucker of Sun
Microsystems.
CONFIG: Reject addresses of the form a!b if FEATURE(`nouucp', `r')
is used. Problem noted by Phil Homewood of Asia Online,
patch from Neil Rickert of Northern Illinois University.
CONFIG: Change the default DNS based blacklist server for
FEATURE(`dnsbl') to blackholes.mail-abuse.org.
CONFIG: Deal correctly with the 'C' flag in {daemon_flags}, i.e.,
implicitly assume canonical host names.
CONFIG: Deal with "::" in IPv6 addresses for access_db. Based on
patch by Motonori Nakamura of Kyoto University.
CONFIG: New OSTYPE(`aix5') contributed by Valdis Kletnieks of
Virginia Tech.
CONFIG: Pass the illegal header form <list:;> through untouched
instead of making it worse. Problem noted by Motonori
Nakamura of Kyoto University.
CONTRIB: Added buildvirtuser (see `perldoc contrib/buildvirtuser`).
CONTRIB: qtool.pl: An empty queue is not an error. Problem noted
by Jan Krueger of digitalanswers communications consulting
gmbh.
CONTRIB: domainmap.m4: Handle domains with '-' in them. From Mark
Roth of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
DEVTOOLS: Change the internal devtools OS, REL, and ARCH m4
variables into bldOS, bldREL, and bldARCH to prevent
namespace collisions. Problem noted by Motonori Nakamura
of Kyoto University.
RMAIL: Undo the 8.11.1 change to use -G when calling sendmail. It
causes some changes in behavior and may break rmail for
installations where sendmail is actually a wrapper to
another MTA. The change will re-appear in a future
version.
SMRSH: Use the vendor supplied directory on HPUX 10.X, HPUX 11.X,
and SunOS 5.8. Requested by Jeff A. Earickson of Colby
College and John Beck of Sun Microsystems.
VACATION: Fix pattern matching for addresses to ignore.
VACATION: Don't reply to addresses of the form owner-*
or *-owner.

10/28/2000 (2.4.7)
o Added the following options to m2h_text_plain::filter:
attachcheck Honor attachment disposition. By default,
all text/plain data is displayed inline on
the message page. If attachcheck is specified
and Content-Disposition specifies the data as
an attachment, the data is saved to a file
with a link to it from the message page.
htmlcheck Check if message is actually an HTML message
(to get around abhorrent MUAs). The message
is treated as HTML if the first non-whitespace
data looks like the start of an HTML document.
o FROMFIELD resource default value is now:
from:mail-reply-to:reply-to:return-path:apparently-from:
sender:resent-sender
The change is the addition of "mail-reply-to."
o Added the following resource variables:
$MSGTORDNUM$ Ordinal number of message in current
thread.
o Added the following resource variable message specificiers:
TEND Last message of current discussion
thread.
TTOP Top/root message of current discussion
thread.
o Changes to readmail.pl:
- %Cid hash keys are now URLs. Content-Ids are denoted
as "cid:..." Hash also contains Content-Location values
of message parts. This allows filters (like the HTML
filter) to check for external URL references where
the data for the reference is included with the message.
- More robust handling of malformed multipart messages.
o The null filter is applied to application/ms-tnef by default.
o Lowercase tag names are now used in default resource values
that contain HTML markup.
o Bug fixes to the documentation.

o Stricter check is made when decoded quoted-printable data.
An escape sequence is only converted to a raw character if
a it is a valid escape sequence. I.e. Any '=' not followed
by two hexadecimal characters is left as-is.
o Call to Digest::MD5::md5_hex() wrapped in eval block in
case of bad installations of Digest::MD5 module.

=======================================================================
02/14/2000 (2.4.5)
Enhancements/Changes
--------------------
o Following changes to m2h_text_html::filter:
- All comment declarations are removed. This avoid
potential SSI attacks and declarations that may conflict
with MHonArc.
- Additional tags have been added to the to-strip list
to avoid potential client-side scripting attacks. See
MIMEFILTERS docs for list.
- Added "nofont" option to strip out any <font> tags.
o Added application/x-bzip2 to known mime types (mhmimetypes.pl).
o Simple modification to get_time_from_date() in mhutil.pl to
handle abhorrent case of message date using a 2 digit year.
o Under VMS, the default lock file name has been changed to
"mhonarc_lck" for directory based locking will work.
o mhonarc::htmlize/entify now translates the double-quote
character (") to ".
o Added VARREGEX resource to allow customization of resource
variable matching. Mainly for use with resource files written
on multibyte charsets like SJIS. Use with caution.
Bug Fixes
---------

=======================================================================
10/01/1999 (2.4.4)
Enhancements/Changes
--------------------
o Added the following resources:
MIMEDECODERS Content-Transfer-Encoding decoding
functions.
o Added the following resource variables:
$PGLINKLIST$ Print out a list of index page links.
o New content filter for message/external-body.
o Message/delivery-status content handled by mhtxtplain.pl
o Support for "Zone[+-]DDDD" timezone specification.
o MAILparse_parameter_str() function added to readmail.pl.
Function supports parsing parameter value strings with support
for RFC 2184 extensions. Function added to provide
support for message/external-body filter.
Bug Fixes
---------
See BUGS.
=======================================================================
08/15/1999 (2.4.3)
Enhancements/Changes
--------------------
o Added the following resources:
POSIXSTRFTIME Use POSIX::strftime() or not for
processing time format strings
o The "latin[1-6]" character sets defined in the default
value of CHARSETCONVERTERS. iso8859::str2sgml modified
to use proper iso8859 map for specified latin[1-6]
specification.
o The text/html filter now strips out scripting markup by
default. To allow scripting markup to be preserved, the
"allowscript" option can be used.
o Unknown media-types are now treated as application/octet-stream,
which will invoke the application/octet-stream filter.
Because of this, an explicit entry for application/octet-stream
has been added to the default value of MIMEFILTERS.
o If in a multipart/alternative entity, and no known media-types
exists, the last part is treated as application/octet-stream.
Bug Fixes
---------
See BUGS.
=======================================================================
08/11/1999 (2.4.2)
Enhancements/Changes
--------------------
o Added the following resources:
STDIN Source for standard input
o Added the following resource variables:
$ENV$ Print an environment variable
o Added support for decoding uuencoded data within text
messages in mhtxtplain.pl. Decoding activated via the
"uudecode" option.
o For processing time format strings, POSIX::strftime() is
used, if available. If not, MHonArc implementation is
used.
o The default value of FROMFIELDS now includes "return-path".
o Description section moved before Options section in -help
message.
Bug Fixes
---------
See BUGS.
=======================================================================
07/25/1999 (2.4.1)
Enhancements/Changes
--------------------
o Added the following resources:
MSGEXCFILTER Perl expressions for excluding
messages from archive.
SAVERESOURCES Flag if resource values should be
saved in database.
o Added the following resource variables:
$HTMLEXT$ Value of HTMLEXT resource.
o Documentation corrections an additions.
o Use of typeglobs removed from mhdb.pl.
o mhtime.pl explicitly defined in mhonarc package.
Bug Fixes
---------
See BUGS.
=======================================================================
06/25/1999 (2.4.0)
Enhancements/Changes
--------------------
o Added the following resources:
ADDRESSMODIFYCODE Perl expressions to apply to addresses
during message header conversion.
CHECKNOARCHIVE Check "no archive" flag in messages.
LOCKMETHOD The type of archive locking performed.
SPAMMODE Perform actions to deter email address
harvesters.
SSMARKUP Markup at the *very* beginning of any
generated page.
STDOUT Destination of stdout messages/data.
STDERR Destination of stderr messages/data.
SUBJECTTHREADS To check, or not to check, subjects when
computing threads.
o Added the following resource variables:
$FROMADDRNAME$ Username portion of From email address.
$FROMADDRDOMAIN$ Domain portion of From email address.
$TOADDRNAME$ Username portion of an email address
(applicable in MAILTOURL only).
$TOADDRDOMAIN$ Domain portion of an email address
(applicable in MAILTOURL only).
o A new utility program: mha-decode. The program functions
as a MIME message decoder. Can be used against mail folders
or single messages.
o The "PARENT" argument to applicable resource variables is now
called "TPARENT". This change should not affect anyone since
the "PARENT" argument did not work properly in previous
releases.
o SUBJECTHEADER and HEADBODYSEP resource changes will now affect
existing messages that are edited during normal operations or
via EDITIDX. Note, messages created from old versions of
MHonArc may not be affected.
o The default TIMEZONES settings now has a more complete list.
o Timezone acronym settings now support [+-]HHMM specifications.
o Support for ISO-2022-JP encoded strings in message headers
is now supported. It does assume that HTML viewer supports
ISO-2022-JP.
o If Digest::MD5 is installed, md5_hex() will be used to create
message-ids for messages without message-ids. This allows
MHonArc to ignore non-message-id archived messages in ADD mode.
The MD5 digest is computed only on message header for efficieny.
If Digest::MD5 is not installed, a message-id will still be
assigned if none present, but MHonArc will not be able to
detect if message has already been archived in subsequent ADD
operations.
o Text/html filter supports the "noscript" option. If
specified, any script-related markup will be removed.
This provides added security to avoid sites being compromised
with foreign client-side scripting.
o Added the following options to mhexternal.pl (the save-to-file
filter): forceattach, forceinline, and inlineexts.
o Recognize mailing list headers as defined by RFC 2369 and
hyperlink URLs listed.
o If no boundaries exist in a multipart message (even though
a boundary is defined in the header), MHonArc will treat
the entire body as the first part. This prevents "unable
to process" warnings.
o The "<!--X-From" comment declaration at the top of converted
messages is now munged by a modified ROT13 to facilitate
anti-spam-bot measures, but still provide the "From"
information for mha-dbrecover.
o When editing message pages, the new version of the page is now
created as a temporary file and then if successfully created,
it will get renamed to its proper name. This help avoids "losing"
a message page if there is an error during page editing. The
same method is applied to the dumping of DBFILE.
o Message sorting modified to improve sorting performance when
sorting by subject and author.
o URL matching expression in mhtxtplain.pl modified to handle
'&' characters.

10/25/1998 (2.3.1)
Enhancements/Changes
--------------------
Please read the RELNOTES file for important information regarding
upgrading to v2.2.x, or later, from pre-v2.2 releases.
o Support for MHTML. I.e. An HTML document that references data
included as other parts to the mail message, will be converted
so the data will be shown where referenced. Before, all
referenced data was shown at the end of the message.
o Auto-computing the name for attachments no longer caches
data, so performance may decrease when processing MIME
messages. This change is required since multiple filters can
now write data to files and not all to the same directory (a
common utility function now exists for writing data to a file).
Also, it avoids behavioral problems with custom front-ends
that operate on multiple archives in a single process.
o Changes to readmail.pl inorder to support MHTML. Changes
done should help the handling of other multipart/related
data types.

=======================================================================
10/10/1998 (2.3.0)
o Perl 5 is now required to run MHonArc. Although the code
base is still "Perl 4-style", many changes made use of Perl 5
constructs.
o New utility programs added to the dustribution:
mha-dbedit - Make resource/db changes w/o touching
pages.
mha-dbrecover - Rebuild database from HTML message
files.
o Many resource variables have been changed to take arguments
to control what values the variables will expand to. Because,
of this, many variables are now deprecated. However, old
forms of resource variables are still recognized.
See the documentation for more information on resource
variables (a new section on resource variables has been
added to the documentation) and the newer syntax.
o New resources:
AFS - Skip archive directory permission check
ANNOTATE - Annotate message(s).
LOCK - To lock, or not to lock.
MSGPGS - Print, or not, message pages.
NOTE - Annotate markup.
NOTEIA - Inactive annotate markup.
NOTEDIR - Directory where annotations are located.
NOTETEXT - Annotation text.
PAGENUM - Page to output when using GENIDX with
MULTIPG.
READDB - Just load the database
(useful for application front-ends).
USELOCALTIME - Use localtime to determine day groups in
date index listing.
o New resource variables:
$DDMMYYYY$ - Day/Mon/Year(4 digit)
$MMDDYYYY$ - Mon/Day/Year(4 digit)
$MSG$ - Filename of message page
$SORTTYPE$ - Type of sort in use for main index
$TSORTTYPE$ - Type of sort in use for thread index
$YYYYMMDD$ - Year(4 digit)/Mon/Day
Note, many other variables have been changed. See docs for
more information.
o Added "J" modifier for resource variables. When specified,
escapes quote characters so expanded values can be used
within JavaScript strings.
o Added "usenameext" option to mhexternal.pl filter. When
specified, mhexternal.pl will use the filename specified in
the message for determining the filename extension to use.
o The -rcfile option can be specified multiple times. Resource
files specified are read in the order specified.
o The -definevars options has been deprecated in favor of
-definevar (no ending 's'). -definevar can be specified
multiple times on the command-line. The usaage of it is
exactly the same as -definevars. The -definevars is still
supported for backwards compatibility.
o The -perlinc option can be specified multiple times.
o For the mhtxtplain.pl filter, the TARGET attribute for links is
now specified only if the target option is specified.
o MHonArc is now smarter when the RMM resource is used. MHonArc
will now only update pages that are required when messages
are removed instead of doing a force update on all pages.
RMM operations will now perform much faster.
o Subject based replies are *no longer* treated as a separate
"group" when printing thread index pages. I.e. Subject based
replies no longer cause a separate TSUBLISTBEG and TSUBLISTEND
to be invoked. Before, it was a problem if the HTML OL
element was used. OL numbering would restart when subject
based replies were printed.
o GENIDX now supports the use of MULTIPG (w/IDXSIZE).
o MHonArc uses rename instead of file copying when editing
pages. Should provide a speed increase when editing archive
pages.
o Reason when a file cannot be opened or created is printed
($! is now included in the error message).
o If unable to lock an archive (and -force not specified),
MHonArc will now return an exit status of 75 (EX_TEMPFAIL).
This is for the benefit of MTAs (like sendmail) where
MHonArc is called via an alias.
o Some changes to code to make it suitable for MHonArc to be
embedded into other Perl programs. The most significant
changes was to make it possible to process more than one
archive in a single process instance (note, archives can
only be processed in sequence and not in parallel). Now it
easier to write different application front-ends to MHonArc.
o Some other code cleanup in the hopes to improve performance.

any longer to 2.x.
NOTE: kerberos support is dropped, kerberos guru please re-do it...
from ftp://ftp.qualcomm.com/eudora/servers/unix/popper/Release.Notes
Release Notes:
3.1
Can now set server mode and kerberos service name using
run-time options.
Can now specify plain-text password handling when APOP is
available using '-p 0|1|2|3' run-time option. 0 is default;
1 means clear text passwords are never permitted for any user;
2 means they are always permitted (even if an APOP entry exists),
which allows them to be used as a fallback when clients don't
support APOP); 3 means they are permitted on the local interface
(127.*.*.*) only.
Added '-D drac-host' run-time option to specify the drac host.
Only valid if compiled with --enable-drac. The default is
localhost.
Added '-f config-file' run-time option. Additional run-time
options are read from the specified file. All current run-time
options can now be set this way. See INSTALL file for option
names and syntax.
Added '-u' run-time option to read '.qpopper-options' file in
user's home directory.
Added Kerberos V support.
BULLDB access now uses usleep(3C) if available, resulting in
many more access attempts with a shorter maximum delay.
Added run-time options 'bulldb-nonfatal' (-B) and
'bulldb-max-retries' to allow fine control over BULLDB access
behavior. 'bulldb-nonfatal' allows a session to continue if
the bulletin database can't be locked. 'bulldb-max-retries'
sets the maximum number of attempts to lock the database. This
value should only be changed if you know if your system has
usleep(3C) or not. On systems with usleep(3C), this can be a
large value (the default is 75). On systems without usleep(3C),
this should remain small (the default is 10).
Added new ./configure flags (see INSTALL for more details):
--enable-timing to write log records with elapsed time for
authentication, initialization, and cleanup.
--enable-old-uidl to generates UIDs using old (pre-3.x)
style encoding. This is only useful if you also set
NO_STATUS and have existing users with old (pre-3.x)
spool files and you want to keep the UIDs the same.
--disable-status to prevent Qpopper from writing 'Status'
or 'X-UIDL' headers (sets NO_STATUS). This forces
UIDs for each message to be recalculated in each
session.
--enable-keep-temp-drop to prevents Qpopper from deleting
the temp drop files.
--disable-check-pw-max to prevent Qpopper from checking
for expired passwords.
--disable-old-spool-loc to not check for old .user.pop
files in old locations when HASH_SPOOL or HOMEDIRMAIL
used.
--disable-check-hash-dir to not check for or create hash
spool directories. Use this if you pre-create the
directories.
--enable-server-mode-group-include=group to set server
mode for users in the specified group.
--enable-server-mode-group-exclude=group to set server
mode OFF for users in the specified group.
--enable-secure-nis-plus for use with secure NIS+.
--disable-optimizations to turn off compiler optimizations.
--with-kerberos5 for Kerberos V support (using patch from
Ken Hornstein).
--enable-any-kerberos-principal to accept any principal in
the client request.
--enable-kuserok to use kuserok() to vet users.
--enable-ksockinst to use getsockinst() for Kerberos
instance.
--enable-standalone to create standalone POP daemon instead
of being run out of inetd. Can specify IP address
and/or port number to bind to as parameter 1, e.g.,
'popper 199.46.50.7:8110 -S' or 'popper 8110 -S -T600'.
If not specified, IP address defaults to all available.
The default port is 110 except when _DEBUG (not simply
DEBUG) is defined, then it is 8765.
--enable-auth-file=path to permit access only to users listed
in the specified file. Format is one user per line.
--enable-nonauth-file=path to deny access to users listed in
the specified file. Format is one user per line.
--disable-update-abort to avoid the default behavior of going
into update mode if the session aborts (the default
behavior violates of RFC 1939, but was found to be
needed when noisy dialup lines otherwise prevented users
from ever deleting messages).
([RCG])
3.0
Both dot-locking and flock() now used on all platforms. (On some
systems we emulate flock() using fcntl).
Added POP3 extensions(CAPA). The extensions added so far are
X-MANGLE, LOGIN-DELAY and EXPIRE.
X-MANGLE condenses Mime messages into a single part for ease of
use by lightweight clients. The transformations supported through
X-MANGLE are to and from text/plain, format=flowed, and text/html.
As a way to enable MIME-mangling with clients that do not
support XMANGLE, add "-no-mime" to the user name. For example,
if the userid is"mary", enter it in the client as "mary-no-mime".
The optional LOGIN-DELAY and EXPIRE values are only announced
through the CAPA command. The values to announce are passed as
command line switches. Actual enforcement of minimum login delay
and message expiration is up to the site by some other means.
(For example, a simple script run from crontab could be used for
message expiration.) Qpopper does support automatic deletion of
downloaded messages through the --enable-auto-delete configure
flag. This can be used to effect EXPIRE 0 (no retention).
Added new run-time options: -R to disable reverse-lookups on client
IP addresses; -c to downcase user name.
A failure at some point in a transaction now releases all locks
explicitly. Certain paths do not release locks where SysV .lock files
are created.
Fixed bugs with Bulletin Services and Server mode.
DEBUGn macros for debug and trace messages.
Added new ./configure flags (see INSTALL for more details):
--with-warnings for extra compiler warnings.
--enable-shy to hide qpopper's version number in the
banner and CAPA IMPLEMENTATION tag.
--enable-auto-delete to automatically mark for deletion
all messages downloaded with RETR.
--enable-hash-spool=1|2 to use hashed spool directories.
--enable-home-dir-mail=file to use a spool file in the
user's home directory.
--enable-bulldb=path to enable bulletins and set the path
for the bulletin directory.
--with-new-bulls=number to specify the maximum number
of bulletins for new users (default is 10).
--enable-popbulldir=path to specify an alternate location
for users' popbull files.
--enable-log-login to log successful user logins. This
can be used, for example, to validate subsequent
SMTP sessions from the same IP address within a
short time period, in the absence of SMTP AUTH
support by client and server. (Suggested by Andy
Harper et al).
--with-pam=service-name to authenticate using PAM (based
on patch contributed by German Poo).
--with-log-facility=name to specify the log facility.
Default is LOG_LOCAL1 or LOG_MAIL, depending on the
OS.
--enable-uw-kludge to check for and hide a UW IMAP status
message.
--enable-group-bulls to show bulletins by groups (group
name is second element in bulletin name). Based on
patch by Mikolaj Rydzewski.
--enable-timing to report timing information in the log.
--enable-drac to use DRAC. Based on patches by Mike
McHenry, Forrest Aldrich, Steven Champeon, and others.
Added file popper/banner.h -- modify this file to add a custom
banner and CAPA IMPLEMENTATION tag suffix. Note that if you modify
qpopper you should indicate this using banner.h.
Improved error messages and warnings: warning "Unable to get
canonical name of client" now includes IP address of client; logging
added for I/O errors and discarded input (line too long); added errno
to POP EOF -ERR message; "Possible probe of account" warning now logged
as WARNING, not CRITICAL.
Sylpheed - an X based e-mail client has features (or go for it :-))
o user-friendly and intuitive interface
o 3-paned view like many Windoze-based mail client
o ability of keyboard-only operation
o Mew/Wanderlust-like key bind
o multipart MIME
o unlimited multiple account handling
o message queueing
o assortment function
o XML-based address book
o APOP support
o unread message management
o MH folder support
o multithread support (experimental)
o can import mbox
o drag & drop (partially implemented)
o fast thread display
o high-speed message processing
o lightweight resource usage
o easily customizable configuration
o "Attract by subject" faculty, which is convenient when thread is
broken on Mailing List and so on.
o supports automake + autoconf, and internationalization of message by gettext
o integrated NetNews client (partially implemented)
This package was made by Osamu OISHI <oishi@ims.ac.jp> and he posted it to
tech-pkg-ja mailing list.
XXX latest version is 0.8.4, which will (hopefully) be imported later.

patchlevel 11 -> 12
While processing massive amounts of one-recipient mail, the Postfix
queue manager could deadlock for 10 seconds while sending a bounce
message. In order to remedy this, all queue manager bounce send
requests are now executed asynchronously. This problem was reported
by El Bunzo (webpower.nl) and by Tiger Technologies (tigertech.com).
bulk_mailer assists with "bulk" mailing, such as large majordomo
lists under sendmail. For input, it takes a file of recipient
addresses (one address per line) and a message (with headers already
attached) to be sent to the recipients. It sorts the recipient
list by reversed domain (so similar ones sort together), splits up
the recipients into several groups containing no more than N domains
each, creates an SMTP envelope for each group of recipients, and
feeds that envelope to "/usr/lib/sendmail -bs".
Splitting the envelopes up allows sendmail to perform delivery in
parallel, so instead of having one large queue entry (for which
sendmail might take awhile to get around to attempting delivery
for some recipients), it has several smaller queue entries.
Depending on your point-of-view, this can still be considered
"cluttering up your mail queue", but it does seem to deliver messages
more quickly to most recipients.
complete mailto protocol handling, various fixed memory leaks, fixes for
crashes on multiple text selection, and a fix for misbehavior on failed
SMTP relaying.
fetchmail-5.6.0 (Sun Nov 26 22:11:09 EST 2000), 19625 lines:
* Updated FAQ on IPv6 operation.
* Enabled showdots to work from the command line.
* Fixed a bug in fetchmailconf's handling of the `principal' option.
* smtpname processing fixed.

Documentation: the canonical, virtual etc. manual pages
did not document the effect of leading whitespace.
20001025
Bugfix: virtual map expansion stopped too early with
self-referential aliases. Reported by Michael Douglass
@ datafoundry.net. File: cleanup/cleanup_map1n.c.
20001026
Horror: postmap and postalias (newaliases) silently lose
the file lock while building a lookup table with Berkeley
DB 2.x and later on Solaris, HP-UX, IRIX, and UNIXWARE.
The result is that table lookups fail while the table is
being built, so that mail is lost. In order to avoid this
misbehavior one has to use an undocumented feature that is
NOT available with the DB1.85 compatibility interface.
Therefore, Postfix now supports three Berkeley DB programming
interfaces of increasing complexity. File: util/dict_db.c.
Bugfix: some character manipulations were not portable for
signed/unsigned characters. Files: global/quote_821_local.c,
global/quote_822_local.c.
Workaround: apparently, some software sends SMTP mail that
begins with "From sender time-stamp". Sendmail silently
ignores such RFC violating garbage, and therefore Postfix
needs to jump another hoop. File: smtpd/smtpd.c.
20001028
Bugfix: the flush server tried to access config files after
going to the chroot jail. Found by Lutz Jaenicke, TU-Cottbus.DE.
File: flush/flush.c.
Update: revised LDAP module from primary maintainer John
Hensley, with contributions from many other people. Files:
util/dict_ldap.c, LDAP_README.
Update: LINUX2 chroot setup script by Matthias Andree,
uni-dortmund.de.
Feature: specify unix:/path/name for LMTP connections over
UNIX-domain sockets, and specify inet:host or inet:host:port
for IPV4. If no unix: or inet: is specified, IPV4 is assumed.
File: lmtp/lmtp_connect.c.
Feature: added UNIX-domain support to the smtpstone test
programs in order to test the LMTP client UNIX-domain
support.
20001030
Bugfix: further testing in preparation for 19991231-pl10
revealed that the DB map code was now broken for every
platform.
20001031
Performance: the slow start (gradually increase number of
parallel connections to the same site) was too gentle and
Postfix would back off too quickly. Files: qmgr/qmgr_queue.c
and nqmgr/qmgr_queue.c.
20001101
FAQ update by Ralph Hildebrandt.
20001104
Portability: RedHat Linux has changed incompatibly, again.
Fixed with the help of Matthias Andree. File: makedefs.
20001109
Cleanup: changed prototype of internal function that did
not return a useful result. File: src/util/vstream_popen.c.
20001110
Workaround: the Debian post install script passes an open
file descriptor into the master server and waits forever.
Reported by Lamont Jones. File: master/master.c.
20001114
Compatibility: added sendmail -G (gateway submission) option
for compatibility with the sendmail rmail command. Requested
by David Gilbert, Velocet Communications.
20001116
Documentation: added MAILER-DAEMON to the list of sample
masquerade_exceptions settings in conf/sample-rewrite.cf.
Suggested by Karl O. Pinc, pop.artic.edu.
Performance: the slow start (gradually increase number of
parallel connections to the same site) was too gentle and
Postfix would back off too quickly. Files: qmgr/qmgr_queue.c
and nqmgr/qmgr_queue.c. Yup, changed the same code, again.
We now allow for a margin above the actual concurrency,
with the size of the initial destination concurrency.
Final solution by Patrik Rak.
Bugfix: the recipient home directory test broke mailbox_transport
support for non-UNIX recipients. File: local/recipient.c.
20001117
Robustness: additional integrity tests for the nqmgr by
Patrik Rak. File: nqmgr/qmgr_message.c.
20001118
Bugfix: the new LDAP client code did not work properly if
the new ldap_domain parameter was not specified. LaMont
Jones, HP. File: util/dict_ldap.c.
Feature: the soft_bounce safety net is extended to the SMTP
server. With "soft_bounce = yes", The SMTP server changes
all 5xx (reject) replies into 4xx (try again) replies.
Documentation: the virtual(5) man page now documents both
Postfix-style virtual domains and Sendmail-style virtual
domains, including their interaction with local usernames,
aliases and mailing lists. Hopefully, this ends some of
the confusion surrounding virtual domain support. Updated
several FAQ entries concerning virtual domain support.
Documentation: added FAQ entry for the biff service.
20001119
Bugfix: per-destination queue names were case sensitive so
that the same site could have multiple queues. Reported
by Patrik Rak. Files: *qmgr/qmgr_message.c.
20001120
Bugfix: per-destination deferred mail logfiles were case
sensitive so that the same site could have multiple deferred
mail logfiles, so that not all mail would be flushed with
ETRN. Reported by Ralph Hildebrandt. Files: flush/flush.c.
Portability: added (int) casts to printf-like arguments
that specify the width of %*letter conversions. On some
systems, sizeof and pointer difference expressions are
wider than an int. Reported by Valentin Nechayev @ lucky.net.
20001121:
Compatibility: Postfix now retries delivery when an external
command is killed by a signal, because people expect such
behavior from Sendmail. File: global/pipe_command.c.

- added back ExecuteOnUpdate
- now searches @prefix@/GNUstep for defaults domain as well; thanks
to Thomas Ribbrock <argathin@gmx.net> for suggestion

sfio code (no longer depends onto devel/sfio)
8.11.1/8.11.1 2000/09/27
Fix SMTP EXPN command output if the address expands to a single
name. Fix from John Beck of Sun Microsystems.
Don't try STARTTLS in the client if the PRNG has not been properly
seeded. This problem only occurs on systems without
/dev/urandom. Problem detected by Jan Krueger of
digitalanswers communications consulting gmbh and
Neil Rickert of Northern Illinois University.
Don't use the . and .. directories when expanding QueueDirectory
wildcards.
Do not try to cache LDAP connections across processes as a parent
process may close the connection before the child process
has completed. Problem noted by Lai Yiu Fai of the Hong
Kong University of Science and Technology and Wolfgang
Hottgenroth of UUNET.
Use Timeout.fileopen to limit the amount of time spent trying to
read the LDAP secret from a file.
Prevent SIGTERM from removing a command line submitted item after
the user submits the message and before the first delivery
attempt completes. Problem noted by Max France of AlphaNet.
Fix from Neil Rickert of Northern Illinois University.
Deal correctly with MaxMessageSize restriction if message size is
greater than 2^31.
Turn off queue checkpointing if CheckpointInterval is set to zero.
Treat an empty home directory (from getpw*() or $HOME) as
non-existent instead of treating it as /. Problem noted by
Todd C. Miller of Courtesan Consulting.
Don't drop duplicate headers when reading a queued item. Problem
noted by Motonori Nakamura of Kyoto University.
Avoid bogus error text when logging the savemail panic "cannot
save rejected email anywhere". Problem noted by Marc G.
Fournier of Acadia University.
If an LDAP search fails because the LDAP server went down, close
the map so subsequent searches reopen the map. If there are
multiple LDAP servers, the down server will be skipped and
one of the others may be able to take over.
Set the ${load_avg} macro to the current load average, not the
previous load average query result.
If a non-optional map used in a check_* ruleset can't be opened,
return a temporary failure to the remote SMTP client
instead of ignoring the map. Problem noted by Allan E
Johannesen of Worcester Polytechnic Institute.
Avoid a race condition when queuing up split envelopes by saving
the split envelopes before the original envelope.
Fix a bug in the PH_MAP code which caused mail to bounce instead of
defer if the PH server could not be contacted. From Mark
Roth of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
Prevent QueueSortOrder=Filename from interfering with -qR, -qS, and
ETRN. Problem noted by Erik R. Leo of SoVerNet.
Change error code for unrecognized parameters to the SMTP MAIL and
RCPT commands from 501 to 555 per RFC 1869. Problem
reported to Postfix by Robert Norris of Monash University.
Prevent overwriting the argument of -B on certain OS. Problem
noted by Matteo Gelosa of I.NET S.p.A.
Use the proper routine for freeing memory with Netscape's LDAP
client libraries. Patch from Paul Hilchey of the
University of British Columbia.
Portability:
Move the NETINET6 define to devtools/OS/SunOS.5.{8,9}
instead of defining it in conf.h so users can
override the setting. Suggested by
Henrik Nordstrom of Ericsson.
On HP-UX 10.X and 11.X, use /usr/sbin/sendmail instead of
/usr/lib/sendmail for rmail and vacation. From
Jeff A. Earickson of Colby College.
On HP-UX 11.X, use /usr/sbin instead of /usr/libexec (which
does not exist). From Jeff A. Earickson of Colby
College.
Avoid using the UCB subsystem on NCR MP-RAS 3.x. From
Tom Moore of NCR.
NeXT 3.X and 4.X installs man pages in /usr/man. From
Hisanori Gogota of NTT/InterCommunicationCenter.
Solaris 8 and later include /var/run. The default PID file
location is now /var/run/sendmail.pid. From John
Beck of Sun Microsystems.
SFIO includes snprintf() for those operating systems
which do not. From Todd C. Miller of Courtesan
Consulting.
CONFIG: Use the result of _CERT_REGEX_SUBJECT_ not {cert_subject}.
Problem noted by Kaspar Brand of futureLab AG.
CONFIG: Change 553 SMTP reply code to 501 to avoid problems with
errors in the MAIL address.
CONFIG: Fix FEATURE(nouucp) usage in example .mc files. Problem
noted by Ron Jarrell of Virginia Tech.
CONFIG: Add support for Solaris 8 (and later) as OSTYPE(solaris8).
Contributed by John Beck of Sun Microsystems.
CONFIG: Set confFROM_HEADER such that the mail hub can possibly add
GECOS information for an address. This more closely
matches pre-8.10 nullclient behavior. From Per Hedeland of
Ericsson.
CONFIG: Fix MODIFY_MAILER_FLAGS(): apply the flag modifications for
SMTP to all *smtp* mailers and those for RELAY to the relay
mailer as described in cf/README.
MAIL.LOCAL: Open the mailbox as the recipient not root so quotas
are obeyed. Problem noted by Damian Kuczynski of NIK.
MAKEMAP: Do not change a map's owner to the TrustedUser if using
makemap to 'unmake' the map.
RMAIL: Avoid overflowing the list of recipients being passed to
sendmail.
RMAIL: Invoke sendmail with '-G' to indicate this is a gateway
submission. Problem noted by Kari Hurtta of the Finnish
Meteorological Institute.
VACATION: Read the complete message to avoid "broken pipe" signals.
VACATION: Do not cut off vacation.msg files which have a single
dot as the only character on the line.
New Files:
cf/ostype/solaris8.m4
is it in <db_185.h>? no
is it in <db/db.h>? no
is it in <db1/db.h>? yes
and for a good measure they've renamed libdb.a to libdb1.a to make sure
that they break linking, not just compiling.
that depend it, as suggested by wrstuden. The reason is so that older
binary packages which were linked against an a.out shared lib won't have
their package dependencies satisfied by the latest package, which has no
shared libraries. There's no help for old ELF packages, unfortunately.
RESTRICTED= variables that were predicated on former U.S. export
regulations. Add CRYPTO=, as necessary, so it's still possible to
exclude all crypto packages from a build by setting MKCRYPTO=no
(but "lintpkgsrc -R" will no longer catch them).
Specifically,
- - All packages which set USE_SSL just lose their RESTRICTED
variable, since MKCRYPTO responds to USE_SSL directly.
- - realplayer7 and ns-flash keep their RESTRICTED, which is based
on license terms, but also gain the CRYPTO variable.
- - srp-client is now marked broken, since the distfile is evidently
no longer available. On this, we're no worse off than before.
[We haven't been mirroring the distfile, or testing the build!]
- - isakmpd gets CRYPTO for RESTRICTED, but remains broken.
- - crack loses all restrictions, as it does not evidently empower
a user to utilize strong encryption (working definition: ability
to encode a message that requires a secret key plus big number
arithmetic to decode).
ones to do, and each compiled and installed/de-installed apparently
correctly.
As a side effect of the dynamic PLIST, we no longer need to have separate
-static and -shared PLISTs. It's now easier than ever to make a perl5
package for NetBSD :)
Relevant changes:
- Rewrite folder type parsing: corrects handling of MH and maildir
style spools
- v3.14 changed '!' actions too much: revert to v3.13 behavior but
continue to split SENDMAILFLAGS
- Contents of skipped nested blocks could affect 'E', 'e', 'a', and
'A' flags
- Prevent peeking into buffers on "Out of memory" errors
- Unquoted $\var expansions could alter the interpretation of the
following whitespace
- Prevent attempts to set LINEBUF to really huge values
- Optimize SWITCHRC = $_
- Use a secure PATH when processing /etc/procmailrc
- Use 2^31-1 as the maximum score even when sizeof(long)>4
Changes to formail:
- Allow -n with -D and -s again -- corruption couldn't happen after

PR10728. From: Wolfgang Rupprecht <wolfgang@wsrcc.com>
not sure if this PR is a generic problem - it seems to me that Wolfgang
may checked things out from pkgsrc tree with non-writable permission.
This release fixes at least one grave IMAP error which may lead to
confusing display and other strangeness, and our instances of the
"wuftpd format bug", which had (mostly) the effect that your IMAP
server's operator could break into your computer with some work.
confLDOPTS.
the real problem is in sendmail side - M4 macro APPENDDEF chokes if we
pass string with "," inside. we are okay for now, as we don't have any
APPENDDEF against confLDOPTS. in general, we are not sure if the fix works
for everyone.
not sure if we need the similar fix for Solaris or not.

* In the fetchmail RPM spec, stop compressing the man pages. Turns out
rpm-4.0 does a find(1) over the stuff to be installed and gzip(1)s the
manpages it finds. This gets messed up by the explicit symlink among
manpages in the spec file, which rpm redoes and gets all wrong.

TODO: STARTTLS support
--- 8.10.2 -> 8.11.0
8.11.0/8.11.0 2000/07/19
SECURITY: If sendmail is installed as a non-root set-user-ID binary
(not the normal case), some operating systems will still
keep a saved-uid of the effective-uid when sendmail tries
to drop all of its privileges. If sendmail needs to drop
these privileges and the operating system doesn't set the
saved-uid as well, exit with an error. Problem noted by
Kari Hurtta of the Finnish Meteorological Institute.
SECURITY: sendmail depends on snprintf() NUL terminating the string
it populates. It is possible that some broken
implementations of snprintf() exist that do not do this.
Systems in this category should compile with
-DSNPRINTF_IS_BROKEN=1. Use test/t_snprintf.c to test your
system and report broken implementations to
sendmail-bugs@sendmail.org and your OS vendor. Problem
noted by Slawomir Piotrowski of TELSAT GP.
Support SMTP Service Extension for Secure SMTP (RFC 2487) (STARTTLS).
Implementation influenced by the example programs of
OpenSSL and the work of Lutz Jaenicke of TU Cottbus.
Add new STARTTLS related options CACERTPath, CACERTFile,
ClientCertFile, ClientKeyFile, DHParameters, RandFile,
ServerCertFile, and ServerKeyFile. These are documented in
cf/README and doc/op/op.*.
New STARTTLS related macros: ${cert_issuer}, ${cert_subject},
${tls_version}, ${cipher}, ${cipher_bits}, ${verify},
${server_name}, and ${server_addr}. These are documented
in cf/README and doc/op/op.*.
Add support for the Entropy Gathering Daemon (EGD) for better
random data.
New DontBlameSendmail option InsufficientEntropy for systems which
don't properly seed the PRNG for OpenSSL but want to
try to use STARTTLS despite the security problems.
Support the security layer in SMTP AUTH for mechanisms which
support encryption. Based on code contributed by Tim
Martin of CMU.
Add new macro ${auth_ssf} to reflect the SMTP AUTH security
strength factor.
LDAP's -1 (single match only) flag was not honored if the -z
(delimiter) flag was not given. Problem noted by ST Wong of
the Chinese University of Hong Kong. Fix from Mark Adamson
of CMU.
Add more protection from accidentally tripping OpenLDAP 1.X's
ld_errno == LDAP_DECODING_ERROR hack on ldap_next_attribute().
Suggested by Kurt Zeilenga of OpenLDAP.
Fix the default family selection for DaemonPortOptions. As
documented, unless a family is specified in a
DaemonPortOptions option, "inet" is the default. It is
also the default if no DaemonPortOptions value is set.
Therefore, IPv6 users should configure additional sockets
by adding DaemonPortOptions settings with Family=inet6 if
they wish to also listen on IPv6 interfaces. Problem noted
by Jun-ichiro itojun Hagino of the KAME Project.
Set ${if_family} when setting ${if_addr} and ${if_name} to reflect
the interface information for an outgoing connection.
Not doing so was creating a mismatch between the socket
family and address used in subsequent connections if the
M=b modifier was set in DaemonPortOptions. Problem noted
by John Beck of Sun Microsystems.
If DaemonPortOptions modifier M=b is used, determine the socket
family based on the IP address. ${if_family} is no longer
persistent (i.e., saved in qf files). Patch from John Beck
of Sun Microsystems.
sendmail 8.10 and 8.11 reused the ${if_addr} and ${if_family}
macros for both the incoming interface address/family and
the outgoing interface address/family. In order for M=b
modifier in DaemonPortOptions to work properly, preserve
the incoming information in the queue file for later
delivery attempts.
Use SMTP error code and enhanced status code from check_relay in
responses to commands. Problem noted by Jeff Wasilko of
smoe.org.
Add more vigilance in checking for putc() errors on output streams
to protect from a bug in Solaris 2.6's putc(). Problem
noted by Graeme Hewson of Oracle.
The LDAP map -n option (return attribute names only) wasn't working.
Problem noted by Ajay Matia.
Under certain circumstances, an address could be listed as deferred
but would be bounced back to the sender as failed to be
delivered when it really should have been queued. Problem
noted by Allan E Johannesen of Worcester Polytechnic Institute.
Prevent a segmentation fault in a child SMTP process from getting
the SMTP transaction out of sync. Problem noted by Per
Hedeland of Ericsson.
Turn off RES_DEBUG if SFIO is defined unless SFIO_STDIO_COMPAT
is defined to avoid a core dump due to incompatibilities
between sfio and stdio. Problem noted by Neil Rickert
of Northern Illinois University.
Don't log useless envelope ID on initial connection log. Problem
noted by Kari Hurtta of the Finnish Meteorological Institute.
Convert the free disk space shown in a control socket status query
to kilobyte units.
If TryNullMXList is True and there is a temporary DNS failure
looking up the hostname, requeue the message for a later
attempt. Problem noted by Ari Heikkinen of Pohjois-Savo
Polytechnic.
Under the proper circumstances, failed connections would be recorded
as "Bad file number" instead of "Connection failed" in the
queue file and persistent host status. Problem noted by
Graeme Hewson of Oracle.
Avoid getting into an endless loop if a non-hoststat directory exists
within the hoststatus directory (e.g., lost+found).
Patch from Valdis Kletnieks of Virginia Tech.
Make sure Timeout.queuereturn=now returns a bounce message to the
sender. Problem noted by Per Hedeland of Ericsson.
If a message data file can't be opened at delivery time, panic and
abort the attempt instead of delivering a message that
states "<<< No Message Collected >>>".
Fixup the GID checking code from 8.10.2 as it was overly
restrictive. Problem noted by Mark G. Thomas of Mark
G. Thomas Consulting.
Preserve source port number instead of replacing it with the ident
port number (113).
Document the queue status characters in the mailq man page.
Suggested by Ulrich Windl of the Universitat Regensburg.
Process queued items in which none of the recipient addresses have
host portions (or there are no recipients). Problem noted
by Valdis Kletnieks of Virginia Tech.
If a cached LDAP connection is used for multiple maps, make sure
only the first to open the connection is allowed to close
it so a later map close doesn't break the connection for
other maps. Problem noted by Wolfgang Hottgenroth of UUNET.
Netscape's LDAP libraries do not support Kerberos V4
authentication. Patch from Rainer Schoepf of the
University of Mainz.
Provide workaround for inconsistent handling of data passed
via callbacks to Cyrus SASL prior to version 1.5.23.
Mention ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES in the SMTP HELP helpfile. Omission
noted by Ulrich Windl of the Universitat Regensburg.
Portability:
Add the ability to read IPv6 interface addresses into class
'w' under FreeBSD (and possibly others). From Jun
Kuriyama of IMG SRC, Inc. and the FreeBSD Project.
Replace code for finding the number of CPUs on HPUX.
NCRUNIX MP-RAS 3.02 SO_REUSEADDR socket option does not
work properly causing problems if the accept()
fails and the socket needs to be reopened. Patch
from Tom Moore of NCR.
NetBSD uses a .0 extension of formatted man pages. From
Andrew Brown of Graffiti World Wide, Inc.
Return to using the IPv6 AI_DEFAULT flag instead of AI_V4MAPPED
for calls to getipnodebyname(). The Linux
implementation is broken so AI_ADDRCONFIG is stripped
under Linux. From John Beck of Sun Microsystems and
John Kennedy of Cal State University, Chico.
CONFIG: Catch invalid addresses containing a ',' at the wrong place.
Patch from Neil Rickert of Northern Illinois University.
CONFIG: New variables for the new sendmail options:
confCACERT_PATH CACERTPath
confCACERT CACERTFile
confCLIENT_CERT ClientCertFile
confCLIENT_KEY ClientKeyFile
confDH_PARAMETERS DHParameters
confRAND_FILE RandFile

confSERVER_KEY ServerKeyFile
CONFIG: Provide basic rulesets for TLS policy control and add new
tags to the access database to support these policies. See
cf/README for more information.
CONFIG: Add TLS information to the Received: header.
CONFIG: Call tls_client ruleset from check_mail in case it wasn't
called due to a STARTTLS command.
CONFIG: If TLS_PERM_ERR is defined, TLS related errors are permanent
instead of temporary.
CONFIG: FEATURE(`relay_hosts_only') didn't work in combination with
the access map and relaying to a domain without using a To:
tag. Problem noted by Mark G. Thomas of Mark G. Thomas
Consulting.
CONFIG: Set confEBINDIR to /usr/sbin to match the devtools entry in
OSTYPE(`linux') and OSTYPE(`mklinux'). From Tim Pierce of
RootsWeb.com.
CONFIG: Make sure FEATURE(`nullclient') doesn't use aliasing and
forwarding to make it as close to the old behavior as
possible. Problem noted by George W. Baltz of the
University of Maryland.
CONFIG: Added OSTYPE(`darwin') for Mac OS X and Darwin users. From
Wilfredo Sanchez of Apple Computer, Inc.
CONFIG: Changed the map names used by FEATURE(`ldap_routing') from
ldap_mailhost and ldap_mailroutingaddress to ldapmh and
ldapmra as underscores in map names cause problems if
underscore is in OperatorChars. Problem noted by Bob Zeitz
of the University of Alberta.
CONFIG: Apply blacklist_recipients also to hosts in class {w}.
Patch from Michael Tratz of Esosoft Corporation.
CONFIG: Use A=TCP ... instead of A=IPC ... in SMTP mailers.

Universitat Regensburg.
CONTRIB: qtool.pl: Add missing last_modified_time method and fix a
typo. Patch from Graeme Hewson of Oracle.
CONTRIB: re-mqueue.pl: Improve handling of a race between re-mqueue
and sendmail. Patch from Graeme Hewson of Oracle.
CONTRIB: re-mqueue.pl: Don't exit(0) at end so can be called as
subroutine Patch from Graeme Hewson of Oracle.
CONTRIB: Add movemail.pl (move old mail messages between queues by
calling re-mqueue.pl) and movemail.conf (configuration
script for movemail.pl). From Graeme Hewson of Oracle.
CONTRIB: Add cidrexpand (expands CIDR blocks as a preprocessor to
makemap). From Derek J. Balling of Yahoo,Inc.

extension modifications (e.g., MAN8EXT) to the installation
target. Patch from James Ralston of Carnegie Mellon
University.
DEVTOOLS: Add support for SunOS 5.9.
DEVTOOLS: New option confLN contains the command used to create
links.
LIBSMDB: Berkeley DB 2.X and 3.X errors might be lost and not
reported.
MAIL.LOCAL: DG/UX portability. Problem noted by Tim Boyer of
Denman Tire Corporation.
MAIL.LOCAL: Prevent a possible DoS attack when compiled with
-DCONTENTLENGTH. Based on patch from 3APA3A@SECURITY.NNOV.RU.
MAILSTATS: Fix usage statement (-p and -o are optional).
MAKEMAP: Change man page layout as workaround for problem with nroff
and -man on Solaris 7. Patch from Larry Williamson.

improved address book handling, more reliable mailbox backend. The code
has however some experimental and unfinished features enabled so be warned!
The POP problems some people experienced have not been really addressed
yet.
Major changes with postfix-19991231-pl08:
=========================================
Specify "body_checks = regexp:/etc/postfix/body_checks" for a quick
and dirty emergency content filter that looks at non-header lines
one line at a time (including MIME headers inside the message body).
Details in conf/sample-filter.cf.
Incompatible changes with postfix-19991231-pl07:
================================================
As required by RFC 822, Postfix now inserts a generic destination
message header when no destination header is present. The text is
specified via the undisclosed_recipients_header configuration
parameter (default: "To: undisclosed-recipients:;").
disabled.
Many bugfixes, most notable changes
- some locale definitions/aliases added (from GNU locale), many other
locale-related changes
- added facility to convert character set of incoming messages to display
character set
- added facility to convert character set of new message to outgoing character
set (text-charset)
- added support for pgp5 and gpg !
- POP mailboxes can be accessed via username@hostname folder name
- added U command - mark e-mail as unread
- security (no effect on NetBSD, since elm is not installed sgid/suid):
reset egid on couple of places where it was not and should be
- elm.mimecharsets is generated by Configure in batch mode, so it's not needed
to ship our own
- dropped remailer stuff and g/c memory modes stuff from Configure
- e-mail address/aliases handling changes
Add a new USE_LIBTOOL definition that uses the libtool package instead of
pkglibtool which is now considered outdated.
USE_PKGLIBTOOL is available for backwards compatibility with old packages
but is deprecated for new packages.
--- recent changes from RELEASE.NOTES
1.07: May.29,2000
smtp.c:
false permanent errors (Connection timed out, which should be
temporary failures) when SMTP connection (in processing) is
timed-out.
reported by Jun-ichiro itojun Hagino <itojun@iijlab.net>
1.06: Apr.24,2000
smtp.c, main.c, common.h:
false permanent errors (No addresses) occur when DNS queries
are timed-out.
reported by Takahiro Kambe <taca@sky.yamashina.kyoto.jp>
The most notable user-visible change is the ability of the ipopd daemon to
forward requests to the imapd daemon, thus allowing POP2 and POP3 mail
clients to check IMAP mail.
Most notable operational changes from earlier versions:
. New, faster mailbox update logic is now available for the unix driver
on UNIX and Amiga. The old way is still being done for MMDF and the
unixnt driver on NT.
. External file locking is now available via a setgid mail program named
/etc/mlock (this is defined by LOCKPGM in the c-client Makefile). If
c-client is unable to create a <mailbox>.lock file in the directory
by itself, it will try to call mlock to do it. A sample mlock program
is part of the imap-utils. This is primarily for the benefit of those
paranoid souls who have their mail spool directories protected 775
instead of the recommended 1777.
. SASL authentication is supported in the IMAP and POP3 servers, and in
the IMAP, POP3, and SMTP client code. There is no support for NNTP
SASL yet
. CRAM-MD5 is supported by default for IMAP and POP3 clients. To enable
server support, read file imap-4.7/docs/md5.txt
. The mbox driver is now enabled by default. If the file "mbox" exists on
the user's home directory and is in UNIX mailbox format, then when INBOX
is opened this file will be selected as INBOX instead of the mail spool
file. Messages will be automatically transferred from the mail spool file
into the mbox file
To disable this behavior, delete "mbox" from the EXTRADRIVERS list in the
top-level Makefile and rebuild
. IMAP4rev1 protocol is now supported. The UNIX format support now maintains
unique identifiers (UIDs) and keyword flags for each message, and keeps an
invisible message at the start of the file which contains the UID base
information and a list of assigned keywords. There is no way to disable
this behavior, since it would disable IMAP4rev1 support. This message may
show up if you access the mailbox as a file using older mail software (e.g.
Pine 3.9x). It is invisible with IMAP or POP access, or with access as a
file using Pine 4.0x.
. Support for additional mailbox formats
. No longer keeps entire mailbox in memory for UNIX format files
. Multilingual searching of the following charsets are supported:
US-ASCII, UTF-8, ISO-8859-1, ISO-8859-2, ISO-8859-3, ISO-8859-4,
ISO-8859-5, ISO-8859-6, ISO-8859-7, ISO-8859-8, ISO-8859-9,
ISO-8859-10, ISO-8859-11, ISO-8859-13, ISO-8859-14, ISO-8859-15,
KOI8-R, KOI8-U (alias KOI8-RU), TIS-620, VISCII,
ISO-2022-JP, ISO-2022-KR, ISO-2022-CN, ISO-2022-JP-1, ISO-2022-JP-2,
GB2312 (alias CN-GB), CN-GB-12345, BIG5 (alias CN-BIG5),
EUC-JP, EUC-KR, Shift_JIS
All ISO-2022-?? charsets are treated identically, and support ASCII,
JIS Roman, hankaku katakana, ISO-8859-[1 - 10], TIS, GB 2312, JIS X 0208,
JIS X 0212, KSC 5601, and planes 1 and 2 of CNS 11643.
EUC-JP includes support for JIS X 0212 and hankaku katakana
. Fast sorting including IMAP server-based sort
. Fast ordered-subject threading including IMAP server-based threading
more. Change since version 1.0.1i:
- heavily improved IMAP support (thanks to Brandon Long
and Brendan Cully for their work),
- support for using IMAP over SSL (thanks to Tommi
Kommulainen),
- a completely changed interface for configuring mutt's
PGP support. It's now format-based, and much more
flexible than it used to be in the past.
- a split of the old edit-message command into
resend-message and edit-message. While the former gives
you what could be described as "recall from arbitrary
folders", the latter can be used to low-level modify
messages.
- the weeding paradigma has changed. Instead of options
controlling weeding behaviour for all kinds of purposes,
there is one global $weed option which is toggled when
you use what used to be known as display-headers (now
display-toggle-weed). That is, you have some kind of
"WYSIWYG" support with weeding.
- we have a muttrc (5) manual page now, and it's even
up-to-date.
- you can better control your messages' header and
envelope from headers
- the message commands on the attachment menu have been
rewritten. Just try replying to an attachment, and
you'll see what happens. ;-)
- mailing list support has changed. You may wish to
rename your "lists" commands to "subscribe". But please
read README.UPGRADE before!
- Bug fixes of all sorts.

sendmail. It provides a way to allow legitimate users to relay mail through an
SMTP server, while still preventing others from using it as a spam relay.
User's IP addresses are added to the map immediately after they have
authenticated to the POP or IMAP server. By default, map entries expire after
30 minutes, but can be renewed by additional authentication. Periodically
checking mail on a POP server is sufficient to do this. The POP and SMTP
servers can be on different hosts.
Create the /var/spool/postfix on install so that "postfix check" can
create the directories below it.
Create /etc/postfix/postfix-scrip on "make install".
Make the library Makefiles DTRT on systems that don't understand MKXXX=no.
Remover owner write permission from "maildrop" binary.
Adjust offsets in a couple of patches.
