88.6.11/8.6.11 95/03/08
9 The ``possible attack'' message would be logged more often
10 than necessary if you are using Pine as a user agent.
11 The wrong host would be reported in the ``possible attack''
12 message when attempted from IDENT.
13 In some cases the syslog buffer could be overflowed when
14 reporting the ``possible attack'' message. This can
15 cause denial of service attacks. Truncate the message
16 to 80 characters to prevent this problem.
17 When reading the IDENT response a loop is needed around the
18 read from the network to ensure that you don't get
19 partial lines.
20 Password entries without any shell listed (that is, a null
21 shell) wouldn't match as "ok". Problem noted by
22 Rob McMahon.
23 When running BIND 4.9.x a problem could occur because the
24 _res.options field is initialized differently than it
25 was historically -- this requires that sendmail call
26 res_init before it tweaks any bits.
27 Fix an incompatibility in openxscript() between the file open mode
28 and the stdio mode passed to fdopen. This caused UnixWare
29 2.0 to have conniptions. Fix from Martin Sohnius of
30 Novell Labs Europe.
31 Fix problem with static linking of local getopt routine when
32 using GNU's ld command. Fix from John Kennedy of
33 Cal State Chico.
34 It was possible to turn off privacy flags. Problem noted by
35 *Hobbit*.
36 Be more paranoid about writing files. Suggestions by *Hobbit*
37 and Liudvikas Bukys.
38 MAKEMAP: fixes for 64 bit machines (DEC Alphas in particular)
39 from Spider Boardman.
40 CONFIG: No changes (version number only, to keep it in sync
41 with the binaries).

44 SECURITY: Diagnose bogus values to some command line flags that
45 could allow trash to get into headers and qf files.
46 Validate the name of the user returned by the IDENT protocol.
47 Some systems that really dislike IDENT send intentionally
48 bogus information. Problem pointed out by Michael Bushnell
49 of the Free Software Foundation. Has some security
50 implications.
51 Fix a problem causing error messages about DNS problems when
52 the host name contained a percent sign to act oddly
53 because it was passed as a printf-style format string.
54 In some cases this could cause core dumps.
55 Avoid possible buffer overrun in returntosender() if error
56 message is quite ling. From Fletcher Mattox of the
57 University of Texas.
58 Fix a problem that would silently drop "too many hops" error
59 messages if and only if you were sending to an alias.
60 From Jon Giltner of the University of Colorado and
61 Dan Harton of Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
62 Fix a bug that caused core dumps on some systems if -d11.2 was
63 set and e->e_message was null. Fix from Bruce Nagel of
64 Data General.
65 Fix problem that can still cause df files to be left around
66 after "hop count exceeded" messages. Fix from Andrew
67 Chang and Shau-Ping Lo of SunSoft.
68 Fix a problem that can cause buffer overflows on very long
69 user names (as might occur if you piped to a program
70 with a lot of arguments).
71 Avoid returning an error and re-queueing if the host signature
72 is null; this can occur on addresses like ``user@.''.
73 Problem noted by Wesley Craig and the University of
74 Michigan.
75 Avoid possible calls to malloc(0) if MCI caching is turned
76 off. Bug fix from Pierre David of the Laboratoire
77 Parallelisme, Reseaux, Systemes et Modelisation (PRiSM),
78 Universite de Versailles - St Quentin, and Jacky
79 Thibault.
80 Make a local copy of the line being sent via senttolist() -- in
81 some cases, buffers could get trashed by map lookups
82 causing it to do unexpected things. This also simplifies
83 some of the map code.

88 Do all mail delivery completely disconnected from any terminal.
89 This provides consistency with daemon delivery and
90 may have some security implications.
91 Make sure that malloc doesn't get called with zero size,
92 since that fails on some systems. Reported by Ed
93 Hill of the University of Iowa.
94 Fix multi-line values for $e (SMTP greeting message). Reported
95 by Mike O'Connor of Ford Motor Company.
96 Avoid syserr if no NIS domain name is defined, but the map it
97 is trying to open is optional. From Win Bent of USC.
98 Changes for picky compilers from Ed Gould of Digital Equipment.
99 Hesiod support for UDB from Todd Miller of the University of
100 Colorado. Use "hesiod" as the service name in the U
101 option.
102 Fix a problem that failed to set the "authentic" host name (that
103 is, the one derived from the socket info) if you called
104 sendmail -bs from inetd. Based on code contributed by
105 Todd Miller (this problem was also reported by Guy Helmer
106 of Dakota State University). This also fixes a related
598332b0
EA
107 problem reported by Liudvikas Bukys of the University of
108 Rochester.
7611cf34
EA
109 Parameterize "nroff -h" in all the Makefiles so people with
110 variant versions can use them easily. Suggested by
111 Peter Collinson of Hillside Systems.
112 SMTP "MAIL" commands with multiple ESMTP parameters required two
113 spaces between parameters instead of one. Reported by
114 Valdis Kletnieks of Virginia Tech.
115 Reduce the number of system calls during message collection by
116 using global timeouts around the collect() loop. This
117 code was contributed by Eric Wassenaar.
118 If the initial hostname name gathering results in a name
119 without a dot (usually caused by NIS misconfiguration)
120 and BIND is compiled in, directly access DNS to get
121 the canonical name. This should make life easier for
122 Solaris systems. If it still can't be resolved, and
123 if the name server is listed as "required", try again
124 in 30 seconds. If that also fails, exit immediately to
125 avoid bogus "config error: mail loops back to myself"
126 messages.
127 Improve the "MAIL DELETED BECAUSE OF LACK OF DISK SPACE" error
128 message to explain how much space was available and
129 sound a bit less threatening. Suggested by Stan Janet
130 of the National Institute of Standards and Technology.
131 If mail is delivered to an alias that has an owner, deliver any
132 requested return-receipt immediately, and strip the
133 Return-Receipt-To: header from the subsequent message.
134 This prevents a certain class of denial of service
135 attack, arguably gives more reasonable semantics, and
136 moves things more towards what will probably become a
137 network standard. Suggested by Christopher Davis of
138 Kapor Enterprises.
139 Add a "noreceipts" privacy flag to turn off all return receipts
140 without recompiling.
141 Avoid printing ESMTP parameters as part of the error message
142 if there are errors during parsing. This change is
143 purely cosmetic.
144 Avoid sending out error messages during the collect phase of
145 SMTP; there is an MVS mailer from UCLA that gets
146 confused by this. Of course, I think it's their bug....
147 Check for the $j macro getting undefined, losing a dot, or getting
148 lost from $=w in the daemon before accepting a connection;
149 if it is, it dumps state, prints a LOG_ALERT message,
150 and drops core for debugging. This is an attempt to
151 track down a bug that I thought was long since gone.
152 If you see this, please forward the log fragment to
153 sendmail@CS.Berkeley.EDU.
154 Change OLD_NEWDB from a #ifdef to a #if so it can be turned off
155 with -DOLD_NEWDB=0 on the command line. From Christophe
156 Wolfhugel.
157 Instead of trying to truncate the listen queue for the server
158 SMTP port when the load average is too high, just close
159 the port completely and reopen it later as needed.
160 This ensures that the other end gets a quick "connection
161 refused" response, and that the connection can be
162 recovered later. In particular, some socket emulations
163 seem to get confused if you tweak the listen queue
164 size around and can never start listening to connections
165 again. The down side is that someone could start up
166 another daemon process in the interim, so you could
167 have multiple daemons all not listening to connections;
168 this could in turn cause the sendmail.pid file to be
169 incorrect. A better approach might be to accept the
170 connection and give a 421 code, but that could break
171 other mailers in mysterious ways and have paging behaviour
172 implications.
173 Fix a glitch in TCP-level debugging that caused flag 16.101 to
174 set debugging on the wrong socket. From Eric Wassenaar.
175 When creating a df* temporary file, be sure you truncate any
176 existing data in the file -- otherwise system crashes
177 and the like could result in extra data being sent.
178 DOC: Replace the CHANGES-R5-R8 readme file with a paper in the
179 doc directory. This includes some additional
180 information.
181 CONFIG: change UUCP rules to never add $U! or $k! on the front
182 of recipient envelope addresses. This should have been
183 handled by the $&h trick, but broke if people were
184 mixing domainized and UUCP addresses. They should
185 probably have converted all the way over to uucp-uudom
186 instead of uucp-{new,old}, but the failure mode was to
187 loop the mail, which was bad news.
188 Portability fixes:
189 Newer BSDI systems (several people).
190 Older BSDI systems from Christophe Wolfhugel.
191 Intergraph CLIX, from Paul Southworth of CICNet.
192 UnixWare, from Evan Champion.
193 NetBSD from Adam Glass.
194 Solaris from Quentin Campbell of the University of
195 Newcastle upon Tyne.
196 IRIX from Dean Cookson and Bill Driscoll of Mitre
197 Corporation.
198 NCR 3000 from Kevin Darcy of Chrysler Corporation.
199 SunOS (it has setsid() and setvbuf() calls) from
200 Jonathan Kamens of OpenVision Technologies.
201 HP-UX from Tor Lillqvist.

218 list.

EA
2208.6.6/8.6.6 94/03/13
221 SECURITY: the ability to give files away on System V-based
222 systems proved dangerous -- don't run as the owner
223 of a :include: file on a system that allows giveaways.
224 Unfortunately, this also applies to determining a
225 valid shell.
226 IMPORTANT: Previous versions weren't expiring old connections
227 in the connection cache for a long time under some
228 circumstances. This could result in resource exhaustion,
229 both at your end and at the other end. This checks the
230 connections for timeouts much more frequently. From
231 Doug Anderson of NCSC.
232 Fix a glitch that snuck in that caused programs to be run as
233 the sender instead of the recipient if the mail was
234 from a local user to another local user. From
235 Motonori Nakamura of Kyoto University.
236 Fix "wildcard" on /etc/shell matching -- instead of looking
237 for "*", look for "/SENDMAIL/ANY/SHELL/". From
238 Bryan Costales of ICSI.
239 Change the method used to declare the "statfs" availability;
240 instead of HASSTATFS and/or HASUSTAT with a ton of
241 tweaking in conf.c, there is a single #define called
242 SFS_TYPE which takes on one of six values (SFS_NONE
243 for no statfs availability, SFS_USTAT for the ustat(2)
244 syscall, SFS_4ARGS for a four argument statfs(2) call,
245 and SFS_VFS, SFS_MOUNT, or SFS_STATFS for a two argument
246 statfs(2) call with the declarations in <sys/vfs.h>,
247 <sys/mount.h>, or <sys/statfs.h> respectively).
248 Fix glitch in NetInfo support that could return garbage if
249 there was no "/locations/sendmail" property. From
250 David Meyer of the University of Virginia.
251 Change HASFLOCK from defined/not-defined to a 0/1 definition
252 to allow Linux to turn it off even though it is a
253 BSD-like system.
254 Allow setting of "ident" timeout to zero to turn off the ident
255 protocol entirely.
256 Make 7-bit stripping local to a connection (instead of to a
257 mailer); this allows you to specify that SMTP is a
258 7-bit channel, but revert to 8-bit should it advertise
259 that it supports 8BITMIME. You still have to specify
260 mailer flag 7 to get this stripping at all.
261 Improve makesendmail script so it handles more cases automatically.
262 Tighten up restrictions on taking ownership of :include: files
263 to avoid problems on systems that allow you to give away
264 files.
265 Fix a problem that made it impossible to rebuild the alias
266 file if it was on a read-only file system. From
267 Harry Edmon of the University of Washington.
268 Improve MX randomization function. From John Gardiner Myers
269 of CMU.
270 Fix a minor glitch causing a bogus message to be printed (used
271 %s instead of %d in a printf string for the line number)
272 when a bad queue file was read. From Harry Edmon.
273 Allow $s to remain NULL on locally generated mail. I'm not
274 sure this is necessary, but a lot of people have complained
275 about it, and there is a legitimate question as to whether
276 "localhost" is legal as an 822-style domain.
277 Fix a problem with very short line lengths (mailer L= flag) in
278 headers. This causes a leading space to be added onto
279 continuation lines (including in the body!), and also
280 tries to wrap headers containing addresses (From:, To:,
281 etc) intelligently at the shorter line lengths. Problem
282 Reported by Lars-Johan Liman of SUNET Operations Center.
283 Log the real user name when logging syserrs, since these can have
284 security implications. Suggested by several people.
285 Fix address logging of cached connections -- it used to always
286 log the numeric address as zero. This is a somewhat
287 bogus implementation in that it does an extra system
288 call, but it should be an inexpensive one. Fix from
289 Motonori Nakamura.
290 Tighten up handling of short syslog buffers even more -- there
291 were cases where the outgoing relay= name was too long
292 to share a line with delay= and mailer= logging.
293 Limit the overhead on split envelopes to one open file descriptor
294 per envelope -- previously the overhead was three
295 descriptors. This was in response to a problem reported
296 by P{r (Pell) Emanuelsson.
297 Fixes to better handle the case of unexpected connection closes;
298 this redirects the output to the transcript so the info
299 is not lost. From Eric Wassenaar.
300 Fix potential string overrun if you macro evaluate a string that
301 has a naked $ at the end. Problem noted by James Matheson
302 <jmrm@eng.cam.ac.uk>.
303 Make default error number on $#error messages 553 (``Requested
304 action not taken: mailbox name not allowed'') instead of
305 501 (``Syntax error in parameters or arguments'') to
306 avoid bogus "protocol error" messages.
307 Strip off any existing trailing dot on names during $[ ... $]
308 lookup. This prevents it from ending up with two dots
309 on the end of dot terminated names. From Wesley Craig
310 of the University of Michigan and Bryan Costales of ICSI.
311 Clean up file class reading so that the debugging information is
312 more informative. It hadn't been using setclass, so you
313 didn't see the class items being added.
314 Avoid core dump if you are running a version of sendmail where
315 NIS is compiled in, and you specify an NIS map, but
316 NIS is not running. Fix from John Oleynick of
317 Rutgers.
318 Diagnose bizarre case where res_search returns a failure value,
319 but sets h_errno to a success value.
320 Make sure that "too many hops" messages are considered important
321 enough to send an error to the Postmaster (that is, the
322 address specified in the P option). This fix should
323 help problems that cause the df file to be left around
324 sometimes -- unfortunately, I can't seem to reproduce
325 the problem myself.
326 Avoid core dump (null pointer reference) on EXPN command; this
327 only occurred if your log level was set to 10 or higher
328 and the target account was an alias or had a .forward file.
329 Problem noted by Janne Himanka.
330 Avoid "denial of service" attacks by someone who is flooding your
331 SMTP port with bad commands by shutting the connection
332 after 25 bad commands are issued. From Kyle Jones of
333 UUNET.
334 Fix core dump on error messages with very long "to" buffers;
335 fmtmsg overflows the message buffer. Fixed by trimming
336 the to address to 203 characters. Problem reported by
337 John Oleynick.
338 Fix configuration for HASFLOCK -- there were some spots where
339 a #ifndef was incorrectly #ifdef. Pointed out by
340 George Baltz of the University of Maryland.
341 Fix a typo in savemail() that could cause the error message To:
342 lists to be incorrect in some places. From Motonori
343 Nakamura.
344 Fix a glitch that can cause duplicate error messages on split
345 envelopes where an address on one of the lists has a
346 name server failure. Fix from Voradesh Yenbut of the
347 University of Washington.
348 Fix possible bogus pointer reference on ESMTP parameters that
349 don't have an ``=value'' part.
350 CNAME loops caused an error message to be generated, but also
351 re-queued the message. Changed to just re-queue the
352 message (it's really hard to just bounce it because
353 of the wierd way the name server works in the presence
354 of CNAME loops). Problem noted by James M.R.Matheson
355 of Cambridge University.
356 Avoid giving ``warning: foo owned process doing -bs'' messages
357 if they use ``MAIL FROM:<foo>'' where foo is their true
358 user name. Suggested by Andreas Stolcke of ICSI.
359 Change the NAMED_BIND compile flag to be a 0/1 flag so you can
360 override it easily in the Makefile -- that is, you can
361 turn it off using -DNAMED_BIND=0.
362 If a gethostbyname(...) of an address with a trailing dot fails,
363 try it without the trailing dot. This is because if
364 you have a version of gethostbyname() that falls back
365 to NIS or the /etc/hosts file it will fail to find
366 perfectly reasonable names that just don't happen to
367 be dot terminated in the hosts file. You don't want to
368 strip the dot first though because we're trying to ensure
369 that country names that match one of your subdomains get
370 a chance.
371 PRALIASES: fix bogus output on non-null-terminated strings.
372 From Bill Gianopoulos of Raytheon.
373 CONFIG: Avoid rewriting anything that matches $w to be $j.
374 This was in code intended to only catch the self-literal
375 address (that is, [1.2.3.4], where 1.2.3.4 is your
376 IP address), but the code was broken. However, it will
377 still do this if $M is defined; this is necessary to
378 get client configurations to work (sigh). Note that this
379 means that $M overrides :mailname entries in the user
380 database! Problem noted by Paul Southworth.
381 CONFIG: Fix definition of Solaris help file location. From
382 Steve Cliffe <steve@gorgon.cs.uow.edu.au>.
383 CONFIG: Fix bug that broke news.group.USENET mappings.
384 CONFIG: Allow declaration of SMTP_MAILER_MAX, FAX_MAILER_MAX,
385 and USENET_MAILER_MAX to tweak the maximum message
386 size for various mailers.
387 CONFIG: Change definition of USENET_MAILER_ARGS to include argv[0]
388 instead of assuming that it is "inews" for consistency
389 with other mailers. From Michael Corrigan of UC San Diego.
390 CONFIG: When mail is forwarded to a LOCAL_RELAY or a MAIL_HUB,
391 qualify the address in the SMTP envelope as user@{relay|hub}
392 instead of user@$j. From Bill Wisner of The Well.
393 CONFIG: Fix route-addr syntax in nullrelay configuration set.
394 CONFIG: Don't turn off case mapping of user names in the local
395 mailer for IRIX. This was different than most every other
396 system.
397 CONFIG: Avoid infinite loops on certainly list:; syntaxes in
398 envelope. Noted by Thierry Besancon
399 <besancon@excalibur.ens.fr>.
400 CONFIG: Don't include -z by default on uux line -- most systems
401 don't want it set by default. Pointed out by Philippe
402 Michel of Thomson CSF.
403 CONFIG: Fix some bugs with mailertables -- for example, if your
404 host name was foo.bar.ray.com and you matched against
405 ".ray.com", the old implementation bound %1 to "bar"
406 instead of "foo.bar". Also, allow "." in the mailertable
407 to match anything -- essentially, take over SMART_HOST.
408 This also moves matching of explicit local host names
409 before the mailertable so they don't have to be special
410 cased in the mailertable data. Reported by Bill
411 Gianopoulos of Raytheon; the fix for the %1 binding
412 problem was contributed by Nicholas Comanos of the
413 University of Sydney.
414 CONFIG: Don't include "root" in class $=L (users to deliver
415 locally, even if a hub or relay exists) by default.
416 This is because of the known bug where definition of
417 both a LOCAL_RELAY and a MAIL_HUB causes $=L to ignore
418 both and deliver into the local mailbox.
419 CONFIG: Move up bitdomain and uudomain handling so that they
420 are done before .UUCP class matching; uudomain was
421 reported as ineffective before. This also frees up
422 diversion 8 for future use. Problem reported by Kimmo
423 Suominen.
424 CONFIG: Don't try to convert dotted IP address (e.g., [1.2.3.4])
425 into host names. As pointed out by Jonathan Kamens,
426 these are often used because either the forward or reverse
427 mapping is broken; this translation makes it broken again.
428 DOC: Clarify $@ and $: in the Install & Op Guide. From Kimmo
429 Suominen.

4528.6.5/8.6.5 94/01/13
453 Security fix: /.forward could be owned by anyone (the test
454 to allow root to own any file was backwards). From
455 Bob Campbell at U.C. Berkeley.
456 Security fix: group ids were not completely set when programs
457 were invoked. This caused programs to have group
458 permissions they should not have had (usually group
459 daemon instead of their own group). In particular,
460 Perl scripts would refuse to run.
461 Security: check to make sure files that are written are not
462 symbolic links (at least under some circumstances).
463 Although this does not respond to a specific known
464 attack, it's just a good idea. Suggested by
465 Christian Wettergren.
466 Security fix: if a user had an NFS mounted home directory on
467 a system with a restricted shell listed in their
468 /etc/passwd entry, they could still execute any
469 program by putting that in their .forward file.
470 This fix prevents that by insisting that their shell
471 appear in /etc/shells before allowing a .forward to
472 execute a program or write a file. You can disable
473 this by putting "*" in /etc/shells. It also won't
474 permit world-writable :include: files to reference
475 programs or files (there's no way to disable this).
476 These behaviours are only one level deep -- for
477 example, it is legal for a world-writable :include:
478 file to reference an alias that writes a file, on
479 the assumption that the alias file is well controlled.
480 Security fix: root was not treated suspiciously enough when
481 looking into subdirectories. This would potentially
482 allow a cracker to examine files that were publically
483 readable but in a non-publically searchable directory.
484 Fix a problem that causes an error on QUIT on a cached
485 connection to create problems on the current job.
486 These are typically unrelated, so errors occur in
487 the wrong place.
488 Reset CurrentLA in sendall() -- this makes sendmail queue
489 runs more responsive to load average, and fixes a
490 problem that ignored the load average in locally
491 generated mail. From Eric Wassenaar.
492 Fix possible core dump on aliases with null LHS. From
493 John Orthoefer of BB&N.
494 Revert to using flock() whenever possible -- there are just
495 too many bugs in fcntl() locking, particularly over
496 NFS, that cause sendmail to fail in perverse ways.
497 Fix a bug that causes the connection cache to get confused
498 when sending error messages. This resulted in
499 "unexpected close" messages. It should fix itself
500 on the following queue run. Problem noted by
598332b0 501 Liudvikas Bukys of the University of Rochester.

502 Include $k in $=k as documented in the Install & Op Guide.
503 This seems odd, but it was documented.... From
504 Michael Corrigan of UCSD.
505 Fix problem that caused :include:s from alias files to be
506 forced to be owned by root instead of daemon
507 (actually DefUid). From Tim Irvin.
508 Diagnose unrecognized I option values -- from Mortin Forssen
509 of the Chalmers University of Technology.
510 Make "error" mailer work consistently when there is no error
511 code associated with it -- previously it returned OK
512 even though there was a real problem. Now it assumes
513 EX_UNAVAILABLE.
514 Fix bug that caused the last header line of messages that had
515 no body and which were terminated with EOF instead of
516 "." to be discarded. Problem noted by Liudvikas Bukys.
517 Fix core dump on SMTP mail to programs that failed -- it tried
518 to go to a "next MX host" when none existed, causing
519 a core dump. From der Mouse at McGill University.
520 Change IDENTPROTO from a defined/not defined to a 0/1 switch;
521 this makes it easier to turn it off (using
522 -DIDENTPROTO=0 in the Makefile). From der Mouse.
523 Fix YP_MASTER_NAME store to use the unupdated result of
524 gethostname() (instead of myhostname(), which tries
525 to fully qualify the name) to be consistent with
526 SunOS. If your hostname is unqualified, this fixes
527 transfers to slave servers. Bug noted by Keith
528 McMillan of Ameritech Services, Inc.
529 Fix Ultrix problem: gethostbyname() can return a very large
530 (> 500) h_length field, which causes the sockaddr
531 to be trashed. Use the size of the sockaddr instead.
532 Fix from Bob Manson of Ohio State.
533 Don't assume "-a." on host lookups if NAMED_BIND is not
534 defined -- this confuses gethostbyname on hosts
535 file lookups, which doesn't understand the trailing
536 dot convention.
537 Log SMTP server subprocesses that die with a signal instead
538 of from a clean exit.
539 If you don't have option "I" set, don't assume that a DNS
540 "host unknown" message is authoritative -- it
541 might still be found in /etc/hosts.
542 Fix a problem that would cause Deferred: messages to be sent
543 as the subject of an error message, even though the
544 actual cause of a message was more severe than that.
545 Problem noted by Chris Seabrook of OSSI.
546 Fix race condition in DBM alias file locking. From Kyle
547 Jones of UUNET.
548 Limit delivery syslog line length to avoid bugs in some
549 versions of syslog(3). This adds a new compile time
550 variable SYSLOG_BUFSIZE. From Jay Plett of Princeton
551 University, which is in turn derived from IDA.
552 Fix quotes inside of comments in addresses -- previously
553 it insisted that they be balanced, but the 822 spec
554 says that they should be ignored.
555 Dump open file state to syslog upon receiving SIGUSR1 (for
556 debugging). This also evaluates ruleset 89, if set
557 (with the null input), and logs the result. This
558 should be used sparingly, since the rewrite process
559 is not reentrant.
560 Change -qI, -qR, and -qS flags to be case-insensitive as
561 documented in the Bat Book.
562 If the mailer returned EX_IOERR or EX_OSERR, sendmail did not
563 return an error message and did not requeue the message.
564 Fix based on code from Roland Dirlewanger of
565 Reseau Regional Aquarel, Bordeaux, France.
566 Fix a problem that caused a seg fault if you got a 421 error
567 code during some parts of connection initialization.
568 I've only seen this when talking to buggy mailers on
569 the other end, but it shouldn't give a seg fault in
570 any case. From Amir Plivatsky.
571 Fix core dump caused by a ruleset call that returns null.
572 Fix from Bryan Costales of ICSI.
573 Full-Name: field was being ignored. Fix from Motonori Nakamura
574 of Kyoto University.
575 Fix a possible problem with very long input lines in setproctitle.
576 From P{r Emanuelsson.
577 Avoid putting "This is a warning message" out on return receipts.
578 Suggested by Douglas Anderson.
579 Detect loops caused by recursive ruleset calls. Suggested by
580 Bryan Costales.
581 Initialize non-alias maps during alias rebuilds -- they may be
582 needed for parsing. Problem noted by Douglas Anderson.
583 Log sender address even if no message was collected in SMTP
584 (e.g., if all RCPTs failed). Suggested by Motonori
585 Nakamura.
586 Don't reflect the owner-list contents into the envelope sender
587 address if the value contains ", :, /, or | (to avoid
588 illegal addresses appearing there).
589 Efficiency hack for toktype macro -- from Craig Partridge of
590 BB&N.
591 Clean up DNS error printing so that a host name is always
592 included.
593 Remember to set $i during queue runs. Reported by Stephen
594 Campbell of Dartmouth University.
595 If ${HOSTALIASES} is set, use it during canonification so that
596 headers are properly mapped. Reported by Anne Bennett
597 of Concordia University.
598 Avoid printing misleading error message if SMTP mailer (not
599 using [IPC]) should die on a core dump.
600 Avoid incorrect diagnosis of "file 1 closed" when it is caused
601 by the other end closing the connection. From
602 Dave Morrison of Oracle.
603 Improve several of the error messages printed by "mailq"
604 to include a host name or other useful information.
605 Add NetInfo preliminary support for NeXT systems. From Vince
606 DeMarco.
607 Fix a glitch that sometimes caused :include:s that pointed to
608 NFS filesystems that were down to give an "aliasing/
609 forwarding loop broken" message instead of queueing
610 the message for retry. Noted by William C Fenner of
611 the NRL Connection Machine Facility.
612 Fix a problem that could cause a core dump if the input sequence
613 had (or somehow acquired) a \231 character.
614 Make sure that route-addrs always have <angle brackets> around
615 them in non-SMTP envelopes (SMTP envelopes already do
616 this properly).
617 Avoid wierd headers on unbalanced punctuation of the form:
618 ``Joe User <user)'' -- this caused reference to the
619 null macro. Fix from Rick McCarty of IO.COM.
620 Fix a problem that caused an alias "user: user@local.host" to
621 not have the QNOTREMOTE bit set; this caused configs
622 to act as if FEATURE(notsticky) was defined even when
623 it was not. The effect of the problem was to make it
624 very hard to to set up satellite sites that had a few
625 local accounts, with everything else forwarded to a
626 corporate hub. Reported by Detlef Drewanz of the
627 University of Rostock and Mark Frost of NCD.
628 Change queuing to not call rulesets 3, {1 or 2}, 4 on header
629 addresses. This is more efficient (fewer name server
630 calls) and fixes certain unusual configurations, such
631 as those that have ruleset 4 do something that is
632 non-idempotent unless a mailer-specific ruleset did
633 something else. Problem reported by Brian J. Coan
634 of the Institute for Global Communications.
635 Fix the "obsolete argument" routine in main to better understand
636 new arguments. For example, if you used ``sendmail
637 -C config -v -q'' it would choke on the -q because
638 the -C would stop looking for old-format arguments.
639 Fix the code that was intended to allow two users to forward their
640 mail to the same program and have them appear unique.
641 Portability fixes for:
642 SCO UNIX from Murray Kucherawy.
643 SCO Open Server 3.2v4 from Philippe Brand.
644 System V Release 4 from Rick Ellis and others.

658 Linux from John Kennedy of California State University
659 at Chico.
660 Solaris 2.x from Tony Boner of the U.S. Air Force.
661 NEXTSTEP 3.x from Vince DeMarco.
662 HP-UX from various people. NOTA BENE: the location
663 of the config file has moved to /usr/lib
664 to match the HP-UX version of sendmail.
665 CONFIG: Don't do any recipient rewriting on relay mailer;
666 since this is intended only for internal use, the
667 usual RFC 821/822/1123 rules can be relaxed. The
668 main point of this is to avoid munging (ugh) UUCP
669 addresses when relaying internally.
670 CONFIG: fix typo in mailer/uucp.m4 that mutilates list:;
671 syntax addresses delivered via UUCP. Solution
672 provided by Peter Wemm.
673 CONFIG: fix thumb-fumble in default UUCP relaying in ruleset
674 zero; it caused double @ signs in addresses. From
675 Irving Reid of the University of Toronto.
676 CONFIG: Portability fixes for SCO Unix 3.2 with TCP/IP 1.2.1
677 from Markku Toijala of ICL Personal Systems Oy.
678 CONFIG: Add trailing "." on pseudo-domains for consistency;
679 this fixes a problem (noted by Al Whaley of Sunnyside)
680 that made it hard to recognize your own pseudodomain
681 names.
682 CONFIG: catch "@host" syntax errors (i.e., null local-parts)
683 rather than letting them get "local configuration
684 error"s. Problem noted by John Gardiner Myers.
685 CONFIG: add uucp-uudom mailer variant, based on code posted
686 by Spider Boardman <spider@Orb.Nashua.NH.US>; this
687 has uucp-dom semantics but old UUCP syntax. This
688 also permits "uucp-old" as an alias for "uucp" and
689 "uucp-new" as a synonym for "suucp" for consistency.
690 CONFIG: add POP mailer support (from Kimmo Suominen
691 <kim@grendel.lut.fi>).
692 CONFIG: drop CSNET_RELAY support -- CSNET is long gone.
693 CONFIG: fix bug caused with domain literal addresses (e.g.,
694 ``[128.32.131.12]'') when FEATURE(allmasquerade)
695 was set; it would get an additional @masquerade.host
696 added to the address. Problem noted by Peter Wan
697 of Georgia Tech.
698 CONFIG: make sure that the local UUCP name is in $=w. From
699 Jim Murray of Stratus.
700 CONFIG: changes to UUCP rewriting to simulate IDA-style "V"
701 mailer flag. Briefly, if you are sending to host
702 "foo", then it rewrites "foo!...!baz" to "...!baz",
703 "foo!baz" remains "foo!baz", and anything else has
704 the local name prepended.
705 CONFIG: portability fixes for HP-UX.
706 DOC: several minor problems fixed in the Install & Op Guide.
707 MAKEMAP: fix core dump problem on lines that are too long or
708 which lack newline. From Mark Delany.
709 MAILSTATS: print sums of columns (total messages & kbytes
710 in and out of the system). From Tom Ferrin of UC
711 San Francisco Computer Graphics Lab.
712 SIGNIFICANT USER- OR SYSAD-VISIBLE CHANGES:
713 On HP-UX, /etc/sendmail.cf has been moved to
714 /usr/lib/sendmail.cf to match HP sendmail.
715 Permissions have been tightened up on world-writable
716 :include: files and accounts that have shells
717 that are not listed in /etc/shells. This may
718 cause some .forward files that have worked
719 before to start failing.
720 SIGUSR1 dumps some state to the log.

740 Repair core-dump problem (write to read-only memory segment)
741 if you fall back to the return-to-Postmaster case in
742 savemail. Problem reported by Richard Liu.
743 Immediately diagnose bogus sender addresses in SMTP. This
744 makes quite certain that crackers can't use this
745 class of attack.
746 Reliability Fix: check return value from fclose() and fsync()
747 in a few critical places.
748 Minor problem in initsys() that reversed a condition for
749 redirecting the output channel on queue runs. It's
750 not clear this code even does anything. From Eric
751 Wassenaar of the Dutch National Institute for Nuclear
752 and High-Energy Physics.
753 Fix some problems that caused queue runs to do "too much work",
754 such as double-reading the Errors-To: header. From
755 Eric Wassenaar.
756 Error messages on writing the temporary file (including the
757 data file) were getting suppressed in SMTP -- this
758 fix causes them to be properly reported. From Eric
759 Wassenaar.
760 Some changes to support AF_UNIX sockets -- this will only
761 really become relevant in the next release, but some
762 people need it for local patches. From Michael
763 Corrigan of UC San Diego.
764 Use dynamically allocated memory (instead of static buffers)
765 for macros defined in initsys() and settime(); since
766 these can have different values depending on which
767 envelope they are in. From Eric Wassenaar.
768 Improve logging to show ctladdr on to= logging; this tells you
769 what uid/gid processes ran as.
770 Fix a problem that caused error messages to be discarded if
771 the sender address was unparseable for some reason;
772 this was supposed to fall back to the "return to
773 postmaster" case.
774 Improve aliaswait backoff algorithm.
775 Portability patches for Linux (8.6.3 required another header
776 file) (from Karl London) and SCO UNIX.
777 CONFIG: patch prog mailer to not strip host name off of envelope
778 addresses (so that it matches local again). From
779 Christopher Davis.
780 CONFIG: change uucp-dom mailer so that "<>" translates to $n;
781 this prevents uux from seeing lines with null names like
782 ``From Sat Oct 30 14:55:31 1993''. From Motonori
783 Nakamura of Kyoto University.
784 CONFIG: handle <list:;> syntax correctly. This isn't legal, but
785 it shouldn't fail miserably. From Motonori Nakamura.

7878.6.3/8.6.3 93/10/24
788 IMPORTANT FIX: Fix several problems that caused open files to
789 be "lost" during queue runs; this overflowed the open
790 file table on large runs. An assumption that fdopen
791 always succeeds sometimes resulted in core dumps when
792 this happens; sometimes the message is delivered twice,
793 sometimes (probably) infinite times. This problem in
794 various form was reported by P{r (Pell) Emanuelsson and
795 Robert Campbell of U.C. Berkeley.
796 Special diagnosis of EMFILE error conditions -- it now prints
797 the known open file descriptors so you can figure out
798 what is consuming so much resources.
799 Fix a couple of problems caused by early address parsing
800 errors -- one caused it to return a "this is only a
801 warning" when it really wasn't, and the other started
802 parsing through a random pointer. The first was
803 noted by Eric Wassenaar.
804 Fix an infinite loop problem caused by null components in the
805 host signature. Problem noted by Jan Sorensen.
806 Be sure to reset the "current date" when sending an error
807 message -- PostMasterCopy messages were being sent
808 with an old Date: header.
809 Fix a problem that caused duplicated mail when sendmail was
810 (1) compiled without HASFLOCK, (2) you are sending to
811 an alias that has an owner-* alias, (3) you execute
812 sendmail with -t flag, (4) you run in -odb mode, and
813 (5) the sender specifies both the alias name and
814 another alias [i.e., the envelope is split], then
815 duplicate messages are sent. The problem description
816 and one-line fix are from Motonori Nakamura of Kyoto
817 University.
818 Avoid a problem that causes error messages to be discarded
819 in some cases -- this was the result of a "fix" to
820 avoid duplicate error messages, but two are better
821 than zero. Reported by Tim Rylance.
822 Fix a minor botch in checkfd012() -- fix from Dave Hill of
823 Computervision R&D Ltd.
824 Remove "X-Authentication-Warning: <user> set sender to <address>
825 using -f" entirely -- it is far too eager to include
826 this, and it is confusing folks. I'll try to make it
827 work "right" in 8.7. Problem noted by Yoshitaka
828 Tokugawa of dit Co., Ltd.
829 Fix a race condition with the errno value in tick() and
830 reapchild() -- this caused occasional misdiagnosis
831 of problems. Kyle Jones of UUNET helped this along.
832 Repair rule loop-detection code. From Michael Corrigan of
833 U.C. San Diego.
834 Fix a problem that caused sender domain addition (C mailer
835 flag to be ignored if you use -odq or use -odb with
836 a high load average. Problem reported by Jim Murray
837 of Stratus.
838 Fix ident protocol on multi-homed machines. It was not
839 always using the correct interface. Fix from J.R.
840 Oldroyd of Opal.
841 Previously, sendmail assumed that any SMTP greeting message
842 that wasn't 2xx was a temporary failure -- it should
843 only take 4xx as a temporary failure, and return a
844 solid error message on anything else -- for example,
845 to allow you to reject connections on a workstation
846 that is MXed to a mail server.
847 Portability enhancements for 386BSD/FreeBSD/NetBSD from
848 Ollivier Robert.
849 CONFIG: FEATURE(always_add_domain) didn't always add the domain;
850 in particular, on local mail it modified the header sender
851 but not the header recipient address(es). Reported by
852 Jeffrey Honig of Cornell University. Also, strip
853 any host from envelope recipient address(es), since
854 local mailers don't understand host names -- this is
855 to help mailertable entries. From Christopher Davis.
856 CONFIG: masquerading didn't apply to addresses that already
857 had a domain. This change replaces a local hostname
858 by the masquerade name in the SMTP mailer (previously
859 it only added the masquerade name if it didn't already
860 have a domain name). Several people complained about
861 this.

8638.6.2/8.6.2 93/10/15
864 Put a "successful delivery" message in the transcript for
865 addresses that get return-receipts.
866 Put a prominent "this is only a warning" message in warning
867 messages -- some people don't read carefully enough
868 and end up sending the message several times.
869 Include reason for temporary failure in the "warning" return
870 message. Currently, it just says "cannot send for
871 four hours".
872 Fix the "Original message received" time generated for
873 returntosender messages. It was previously listed as
874 the current time. Bug reported by Eric Hagberg of
875 Cornell University Medical College.
876 If there is an error when writing the body of a message,
877 don't send the trailing dot and wait for a response
878 in sender SMTP, as this could cause the connection to
879 hang up under some bizarre circumstances. From Eric
880 Wassenaar.
881 Fix some server SMTP synchronization problems caused when
882 connections fail during message collection. From
883 Eric Wassenaar.
884 Fix a problem that can cause srvrsmtp to reject mail if the
885 name server is down -- it accepts the RCPT but rejects
886 the DATA command. Problem reported by Jim Murray of
887 Stratus.
888 Fix a problem that can cause core dumps if the config file
889 incorrectly resolves to a null hostname. Reported by
890 Allan Johannesen of WPI.
891 Non-root use of -C flag, dangerous -f flags, and use of -oQ
892 by non-root users were not put into
893 X-Authentication-Warning:s as intended because the
894 config file hadn't set the PrivacyFlags yet. Fix
895 from Sven-Ove Westberg of the University of Lulea.
896 Under very odd circumstances, the alias file rebuild code
897 could get confused as to whether a database was
898 open or not.
899 Check "vendor code" on the end of V lines -- this is
900 intended to provide a hook for vendor-specific
901 configuration syntax. (This is a "new feature",
902 but I've made an exception to my rule in a belief
903 that this is a highly exceptional case.)

918 If HASGETDTABLESIZE and _SC_OPEN_MAX are both defined, assume
919 getdtablesize() instead of sysconf(); a disturbingly
920 large number of systems defined _SC_OPEN_MAX in the
921 header files but don't have the syscall.
922 Another patch to really truly ignore MX records in getcanonname
923 if trymx == FALSE.
924 Fix problem that caused the "250 IAA25499 Message accepted for
925 delivery" message to be omitted if there was an error
926 in the header of the message (e.g., a bad Errors-To:
927 line). Pointed out by Michael Corrigan of UCSD.
928 Announce name of host we are chatting when we get errors; this
929 is an IDA-ism suggested by Christophe Wolfhugel.

942 Output YP_MASTER_NAME and YP_LAST_MODIFIED without null bytes.
943 Problem noted by Keith McMillan of Ameritech Services.
944 Deal with group permissions properly when opening .forward and
945 :include: files. This relaxes the 8.1C restrictions
946 slightly more. This includes proper setting of groups
947 when reading :include: files, allowing you to read some
948 files that you should be able to read but have previously
949 been denied unless you owned them or they had "other"
950 read permission.
951 Make certain that $j is in $=w (after the .cf is read) so that
952 if the user is forced to override some silly system,
953 MX suppression will still work.
954 Fix a couple of efficiency problems where newstr was double-
955 calling expensive routines. In at least one case, it
956 wasn't guaranteed that they would always return the

961 Macro expand "C" line class definitions before scanning so that
962 "CX $Z" works.
963 Fix problem that caused error message to be sent while still
964 trying to send the original message if the connection
965 is closed during a DATA command after getting an error
966 on an RCPT command (pretty obscure). Problem reported
967 by John Myers of CMU.
968 Fix reply to NOOP to be 250 instead of 200 -- this is a long
969 term bug.
970 Fix a nasty bug causing core dumps when returning the "warning:
971 cannot deliver for N hours -- will keep trying" message;
972 it only occurred if you had PostMasterCopy set and
973 only on some architectures. Although sendmail would
974 keep trying, it would send error messages on each
975 queue interval. This is an important fix.
976 Allow u and g options to take user and group names respectively.
977 Don't do a chdir into the queue directory in -bt mode to make
978 ruleset testing a bit easier.
979 Don't allow users to turn off logging (using -oL) on the command
980 line -- command line can only raise, not lower, logging
981 level.
982 Set $u to the original recipient on the SMTP transaction or on
983 the command line. This is only done if there is exactly
984 one recipient. Technically, this does not meet the
985 specs, because it does not guarantee a domain on the
986 address.
987 Fix a problem that dumped error messages on bad addresses if
988 you used the -t flag. Problem noted by Josh Smith of
989 Harvey Mudd College.
990 Given an address such as ``<foo> <bar>'', auto-quote the first
991 ``<foo>'' part, giving ``"<foo>" <bar>''. This is to
992 avoid the problem of people who use angle brackets in
993 their full name information.
994 Fix a null pointer dereference if you set option "l", have
995 an Errors-To: header in the message, and have Errors-To:
996 defined in the config file H lines. From J.R. Oldroyd.
997 Put YPCOMPAT on #ifdef NIS instead -- it's one less thing to get
998 wrong when compiling. Suggested by Rick McCarty of TI.
999 Fix a problem that could pass negative SIZE parameter if the
1000 df file got lost; this would cause servers to always
1001 give a temporary failure, making the problem even worse.
1002 Problem noted by Allan Johannesen of WPI.
1003 Add "ident" timeout (one of the "r" option selectors) for IDENT
1004 protocol timeouts (30s default). Requested by Murray
1005 Kucherawy of HookUp Communication Corp. to handle bogus
1006 PC TCP/IP implementations.
1007 Change $w default definition to be just the first component of
1008 the domain name on config level 5. The $j macro defaults
1009 to the FQDN; $m remains as before. This lets well-behaved
1010 config files use any of the short, long, or subdomain
1011 names.
1012 Add makesendmail script in src to try to automate multi-architecture
1013 builds. I know, this is sub-optimal, but it is still
1014 helpful.
1015 Fix very obscure race condition that can cause a queue run to
1016 get a queue file for an already completed job. This
1017 problem has existed for years. Problem noted by the
1018 long suffering Allan Johannesen of WPI.
1019 Fix a problem that caused the raw sender name to be passed to
1020 udbsender instead of the canonified name -- this caused
1021 it to sometimes miss records that it should have found.
1022 Relax check of name on HELO packet so that a program using -bs
1023 that claims to be itself works properly.
1024 Restore rewriting of $: part of address through 2, R, 4 in
1025 buildaddr -- this requires passing a lot of flags to get
1026 it right. Unlike old versions, this ONLY rewrites
1027 recipient addresses, not sender addresses.
1028 Fix a bug that caused core dumps in config files that cannot
1029 resolve /file/name style addresses. Fix from Jonathan
1030 Kamens of OpenVision Technologies.
1031 Fix problem with fcntl locking that can cause error returns to
1032 be lost if the lock is lost; this required fully
1033 queueing everything, dropping the envelope (so errors
1034 would get returned), and then re-reading the queue from
1035 scratch.
1036 Fix a problem that caused aliases that redefine an otherwise
1037 true address to still send to the original address
1038 if and only if the alias failed in certain bizarre
1039 ways (e.g, if they pointed at a list:; syntax address).
1040 Problem pointed out by Jonathan Kamens.
1041 Remove support for frozen configuration files. They caused
1042 more trouble than it was worth.
1043 Fix problem that can cause error messages to get ignored when
1044 using both -odb and -t flags. Problem noted by Rob
1045 McNicholas at U.C. Berkeley.
1046 Include all "normal" variations on hostname in $=w. For example,
1047 if the host name is vangogh.cs.berkeley.edu, $=w will
1048 contain vangogh, vangogh.cs, and vangogh.cs.berkeley.edu.
1049 Add "restrictqrun" privacy flag -- without this, anyone can run
1050 the queue.
1051 Reset SmtpPhase global on initial connection creation so that
1052 messages don't come out with stale information.
1053 Pass an "ext" argument to lockfile so that error/log messages
1054 will properly reflect the true filename being locked.
1055 Put all [...] address forms into $=w -- this eliminates the need
1056 for MAXIPADDR in conf.h. Suggested by John Gardiner
1057 Myers of CMU.
1058 Fix a bug that can cause qf files to be left around even after
1059 an SMTP RSET command. Problem and fix from Michael
1060 Corrigan.
1061 Don't send a PostMasterCopy to errors when the Precedence: is
1062 negative. Error reports still go to the envelope
1063 sender address.
1064 Add LA_SHORT for load averages.
1065 Lock sendmail.st file when posting statistics.
1066 Add "SendBufSize" and "RcvBufSize" suboptions to "O" option to
1067 set the size of the TCP send and receive buffers; if you
1068 run over a slow slip line you may need to set these down
1069 (although it would be better to fix the SLIP implementation
1070 so that it's not necessary to recompile every program
1071 that does bulk data transfer).
1072 Allow null defaults on $( ... $) lookups. Problem reported by
1073 Amir Plivatsky.
1074 Diagnose crufty S and V config lines. This resulted from an
1075 observation that some people were using the SITE macro
1076 without the SITECONFIG macro first, which was causing
1077 bogus config files that were not caught.
1078 Fix makemap -f flag to turn off case folding (it was turning it
1079 on instead). THIS IS A USER VISIBLE CHANGE!!!
1080 Fix a problem that caused multiple error messages to be sent if
1081 you used "sendmail -t -oem -odb", your system uses fcntl
1082 locking, and one of the recipient addresses is unknown.
1083 Reset uid earlier in include() so that recursive .forwards or
1084 :include:s don't use the wrong uid.
1085 If file descriptor 0, 1, or 2 was closed when sendmail was
1086 called, the code to recover the descriptor was broken.
1087 This sometimes (only sometimes) caused problems with the
1088 alias file. Fix from Motonori Nakamura.
1089 Fix a problem that caused aliaswait to go into infinite recursion
1090 if the @:@ metasymbol wasn't found in the alias file.
1091 Improve error message on newaliases if database files cannot be
1092 opened or if running with no database format defined.
1093 Do a better estimation of the size of error messages when NoReturn
1094 is set. Problem noted by P{r (Pell) Emanuelsson.
1095 Fix a problem causing the "c" option (don't connect to expensive
1096 mailers) to be ignored in SMTP. Problem noted and the
1097 solution suggested by Robert Elz of Munnari University.
1098 Improve connection caching algorithm by passing "[host]" to
1099 hostsignature, which strips the square brackets and
1100 returns the real name. This allows mailertable entries
1101 to match regular entries.
1102 Re-enable Return-Receipt-To: -- people seem to want this stupid
1103 feature, even if it doesn't work right.
1104 Catch and log attempts to try the "wiz" command in server SMTP.
1105 This also ups the log level from LOG_NOTICE to LOG_CRIT.
1106 Be more generous at assigning $z to the home directory -- do this
1107 for programs that are specified through a .forward file.
1108 Fix from Andrew Chang of Sun Microsystems.
1109 Always save a fatal error message in preference to a non-fatal
1110 error message so that the "subject" line of return
1111 messages is the best possible.
1112 CONFIG: reduce the number of quotes needed to quote configuration
1113 parameters with commas: two quotes should work now, e.g.,
1114 define(ALIAS_FILE, ``/etc/aliases,/etc/aliases.local'').
1115 CONFIG: class $=Z is a set of UUCP hosts that use uucp-dom
1116 connections (domain-ized UUCP).
1117 CONFIG: fix bug in default maps (-o must be before database file
1118 name). Pointed out by Christophe Wolfhugel.
1119 CONFIG: add FEATURE(nodns) to state that we are not relying on
1120 DNS. This would presumably be used in UUCP islands.
1121 CONFIG: add OSTYPE(nextstep) and OSTYPE(linux).
1122 CONFIG: log $u in Received: line. This is in technical violation
1123 of the standards, since it doesn't guarantee a domain
1124 on the address.
1125 CONFIG: don't assume "m" in local mailer flags -- this means that
1126 if you redefine LOCAL_MAILER_FLAGS you will have to include
1127 the "m" flag should you want it. Apparently some Solaris 2.2
1128 installations can't handle multiple local recipients.
1129 Problem noted by Josh Smith.
1130 CONFIG: add confDOMAIN_NAME to set $j (if undefined, $j defaults).
1131 CONFIG: change default version level from 4 to 5.
1132 CONFIG: add FEATURE(nullclient) to create a config file that
1133 forwards all mail to a hub without ever looking at the
1134 addresses in any detail.
1135 CONFIG: properly strip mailer: information off of relays when
1136 used to change .BITNET form into %-hack form.
1137 CONFIG: fix a problem that caused infinite loops if presented
1138 with an address such as "!foo".
1139 CONFIG: check for self literal (e.g., [128.32.131.12]) even if
1140 the reverse "PTR" mapping is broken. There's a better
1141 way to do this, but the change is fairly major and I
1142 want to hold it for another release. Problem noted by
1143 Bret Marquis.
1144
11458.5/8.5 93/07/23
1146 Serious bug: if you used a command line recipient that was unknown
1147 sendmail would not send a return message (it was treating
1148 everything as though it had an SMTP-style client that
1149 would do the return itself). Problem noted by Josh Smith.
1150 Change "trymx" option in getcanonname() to ignore all MX data,
1151 even during a T_ANY query. This actually didn't break
1152 anything, because the only time you called getcanonname
1153 with !trymx was if you already knew there were no MX
1154 records, but it is somewhat cleaner. From Motonori
1155 Nakamura.
1156 Don't call getcanonname from getmxrr if you already know there
1157 are no DNS records matching the name.
1158 Fix a problem causing error messages to always include "The
1159 original message was received ... from localhost".
1160 The correct original host information is now included.
1161 Previous change to cf/sh/makeinfo.sh doesn't port to Ultrix (their
1162 version of "test" doesn't have the -x flag). Change it
1163 to use -f instead. From John Myers.
1164 CONFIG: 8.4 mistakenly set the default SMTP-style mailer to
1165 esmtp -- it should be smtp.
1166 CONFIG: send all relayed mail using confRELAY_MAILER (defaults
1167 to "relay" (a variant of "smtp") if MAILER(smtp) is used,
1168 else "suucp" if MAILER(uucp) is used, else "unknown");
1169 this cleans up the configs somewhat. This fixes a serious
1170 problem that caused route-addrs to get mistaken as relays,
1171 pointed out by John Myers. WARNING: this also causes
1172 the default on SMART_HOST to change from "suucp" to
1173 "relay" if you have MAILER(smtp) specified.

11758.4/8.4 93/07/22
1176 Add option `w'. If you receive a message that comes to you because
1177 you are the best (lowest preference) target of an MX, and
1178 you haven't explicitly recognized the source MX host in
1179 your .cf file, this option will cause you to try the target
1180 host directly (as if there were no MX for it at all). If
1181 `w' is not set, this case is a configuration error.
1182 Beware: if `w' is set, senders may get bogus errors like
1183 "message timed out" or "host unknown" for problems that
1184 are really configuration errors. This option is
1185 disrecommended, provided only for compatibility with
1186 UIUC sendmail.
1187 Fix a problem that caused the incoming socket to be left open
1188 when sendmail forks after the DATA command. This caused
1189 calling systems to wait in FIN_WAIT_2 state until the
1190 entire list was processed and the child closed -- a
1191 potentially prodigious amount of time. Problem noted
1192 by Neil Rickert.
1193 Fix problem (created in 6.64) that caused mail sent to multiple
1194 addresses, one of which was a bad address, to completely
1195 suppress the sending of the message. This changes
1196 handling of EF_FATALERRS somewhat, and adds an
1197 EF_GLOBALERRS flag. This also fixes a potential problem
1198 with duplicate error messages if there is a syntax error
1199 in the header of a message that isn't noticed until late
1200 in processing. Original problem pointed out by Josh Smith
1201 of Harvey Mudd College. This release includes quite a bit
1202 of dickering with error handling (see below).
1203 Back out SMTP transaction if MAIL gets nested 501 error. This
1204 will only hurt already-broken software and should help
1205 humans.
1206 Fix a problem that broke aliases when neither NDBM nor NEWDB were
1207 compiled in. It would never read the alias file.
1208 Repair unbalanced `)' and `>' (the "open" versions are already
1209 repaired).
1210 Logging of "done" in dropenvelope() was incorrect: it would
1211 log this even when the queue file still existed. Change
1212 this to only log "done" (at log level 11) when the
1213 queue file is actually removed. From John Myers.
1214 Log "lost connection" in server SMTP at log level 20 if there
1215 is no pending transaction. Some senders just close the
1216 connection rather than sending QUIT.
1217 Fix a bug causing getmxrr to add a dot to the end of unqualified
1218 domains that do not have MX records -- this would cause
1219 the subsequent host name lookup to fail. The problem
1220 only occurred if you had FEATURE(nocanonify) set.
1221 Problem noted by Rick McCarty of Texas Instruments.
1222 Fix invocation of setvbuf when passed a -X flag -- I had
1223 unwittingly used an ANSI C extension, and this caused
1224 core dumps on some machines.
1225 Diagnose self-destructive alias loops on RCPT as well as EXPN.
1226 Previously it just gave an empty send queue, which
1227 then gave either "Need RCPT (recipient)" at the DATA
1228 (confusing, since you had given an RCPT command which
1229 returned 250) or just dropped the email, depending on
1230 whether you were running VERBose mode. Now it usually
1231 diagnoses this case as "aliasing/forwarding loop broken".
1232 Unfortunately, it still doesn't adequately diagnose
1233 some true error conditions.
1234 Add internal concept of "warning messages" using 6xx codes.
1235 These are not reported only to Postmaster. Unbalanced
1236 parens, brackets, and quotes are printed as 653 codes.
1237 They are always mapped to 5xx codes before use in SMTP.
1238 Clean up error messages to tell both the actual address that
1239 failed and the alias they arose from. This makes it
1240 somewhat easier to diagnose problems. Difficulty noted
1241 by Motonori Nakamura.
1242 Fix a problem that inappropriately added a ctladdr to addresses
1243 that shouldn't have had one during a queue run. This
1244 caused error messages to be handled differently during
1245 a queue run than a direct run.
1246 Don't print the qf name and line number if you get errors during
1247 the direct run of the queue from srvrsmtp -- this was
1248 just extra stuff for users to crawl through.
1249 Put command line flags on second line of pid file so you can
1250 auto-restart the daemon with all appropriate arguments.
1251 Use "kill `head -1 /etc/sendmail.pid`" to stop the
1252 daemon, and "eval `tail -1 /etc/sendmail.pid`" to
1253 restart it.
1254 Remove the ``setuid(getuid())'' in main -- this caused the
1255 IDENT daemon to screw up. This required that I change
1256 HASSETEUID to HASSETREUID and complicate the mode
1257 changing somewhat because both Ultrix and SunOS seem
1258 to have a bug causing seteuid() to set the saved uid
1259 as well as the effective. The program test/t_setreuid.c
1260 will test to see if your implementation of setreuid(2)
1261 is appropriately functional.
1262 The FallBackMX (option V) handling failed to properly identify
1263 fallback to yourself -- most of the code was there,
1264 but it wasn't being enabled. Problem noted by Murray
1265 Kucherawy of the University of Waterloo.
1266 Change :include: open timeout from ETIMEDOUT to an internal
1267 code EOPENTIMEOUT; this avoids adding "during SmtpPhase
1268 with CurHostName" in error messages, which can be
1269 confusing. Reported by Jonathan Kamens of OpenVision
1270 Technologies.
1271 Back out setpgrp (setpgid on POSIX systems) call to reset the
1272 process group id. The original fix was to get around
1273 some problems with recalcitrant MUAs, but it breaks
1274 any call from a shell that creates a process group id
1275 different from the process id. I could try to fix
1276 this by diddling the tty owner (using tcsetpgrp or
1277 equivalent) but this is too likely to break other
1278 things.
1279 Portability changes:
1280 Support -M as equivalent to -oM on Ultrix -- apparently
1281 DECnet calls sendmail with -MrDECnet -Ms<HOST> -bs
1282 instead of using standard flags. Oh joy. This
1283 behaviour reported by Jon Giltner of University
1284 of Colorado.
1285 SGI IRIX -- this includes several changes that should
1286 help other strict ANSI compilers.
1287 SCO Unix -- from Murray Kucherawy of HookUp Communication
1288 Corporation.
1289 Solaris running the Sun C compiler (which despite the
1290 documentation apparently doesn't define
1291 __STDC__ by default).
1292 ConvexOS from Eric Schnoebelen of Convex.
1293 Sony NEWS workstations and Omron LUNA workstations from
1294 Motonori Nakamura.
1295 CONFIG: add confTRY_NULL_MX_LIST to set option `w'.
1296 CONFIG: delete `C' and `e' from default SMTP mailers flags;
1297 several people have made a good argument that this
1298 creates more problems than it solves (although this
1299 may prove painful in the short run).
1300 CONFIG: generalize all the relays to accept a "mailer:host"
1301 format.
1302 CONFIG: move local processing in ruleset 0 into a new ruleset
1303 98 (8 on old sendmail). Domain literal [a.b.c.d]
1304 addresses are also passed through this ruleset.
1305 CONFIG: if neither SMART_HOST nor MAILER(smtp) were defined,
1306 internet-style addresses would "fall off the end" of
1307 ruleset zero and be interpreted as local -- however,
1308 the angle brackets confused the recursive call.
1309 These are now diagnosed as "Unrecognized host name".
1310 CONFIG: USENET rules weren't included in S0 because of a mistaken
1311 ifdef(`_MAILER_USENET_') instead of
1312 ifdef(`_MAILER_usenet_'). Problem found by Rein Tollevik
1313 of SINTEF RUNIT, Oslo.
1314 CONFIG: move up LOCAL_RULE_0 processing so that it happens very
1315 early in ruleset 0; this allows .mc authors to bypass
1316 things like the "short circuit" code for local addresses.
1317 Prompted by a comment by Bill Wisner of The Well.
1318 CONFIG: add confSMTP_MAILER to define the mailer used (smtp or
1319 esmtp) to send SMTP mail. This allows you to default
1320 to esmtp but use a mailertable or other override to
1321 deal with broken servers. This logic was pointed out
1322 to me by Bill Wisner. Ditto for confLOCAL_MAILER.
1323 Changes to cf/sh/makeinfo.sh to make it portable to SVR4
1324 environments. Ugly as sin.

13268.3/8.3 93/07/13
1327 Fix setuid problems introduced in 8.2 that caused messages
1328 like "Cannot create qfXXXXXX: Invalid argument"
1329 or "Cannot reopen dfXXXXXX: Permission denied". This
1330 involved a new compile flag "HASSETEUID" that takes
1331 the place of the old _POSIX_SAVED_IDS -- it turns out
1332 that the POSIX interface is broken enough to break
1333 some systems badly. This includes some fixes for
1334 HP-UX. Also fixes problems where the real uid is
1335 not reset properly on startup (from Neil Rickert).
1336 Fix a problem that caused timed out messages to not report the
1337 addresses that timed out. Error messages are also more
1338 "user friendly".
1339 Drop required bandwidth on connections from 64 bytes/sec to
1340 16 bytes/sec.
1341 Further Solaris portability changes -- doesn't require the BSD
1342 compatibility library. This also adds a new
1343 "HASGETDTABLESIZE" compile flag which can be used if
1344 you want to use getdtablesize(2) instead of sysconf(2).
1345 These are loosely based on changes from David Meyer at
1346 University of Oregon. This now seems to work, at least
1347 for quick test cases.
1348 Fix a problem that can cause duplicate error messages to be
1349 sent if you are in SMTP, you send to multiple addresses,
1350 and at least one of those addresses is good and points
1351 to an account that has a .forward file (whew!).
1352 Fix a problem causing messages to be discarded if checkcompat()
1353 returned EX_TEMPFAIL (because it didn't properly mark
1354 the "to" address). Problem noted by John Myers.
1355 Fix dfopen to return NULL if the open failed; I was depending
1356 on fdopen(-1) returning NULL, which isn't the case. This
1357 isn't serious, but does result in wierd error diagnoses.
1358 From Michael Corrigan.
1359 CONFIG: add UUCP_MAX_SIZE M4 macro to set the maximum size of
1360 messages sent through UUCP-family mailers. Suggested
1361 by Bill Wisner of The Well.
1362 CONFIG: if both MAILER(uucp) and MAILER(smtp) are specified,
1363 include a "uucp-dom" mailer that uses domain-style
1364 addressing. Suggested by Bill Wisner.
1365 CONFIG: Add LOCAL_SHELL_FLAGS and LOCAL_SHELL_ARGS to match
1366 LOCAL_MAILER_FLAGS and LOCAL_MAILER_ARGS. Suggested by
1367 Christophe Wolfhugel.
1368 CONFIG: Add OSTYPE(aix3). From Christophe Wolfhugel.

1371 Don't drop out on config file parse errors in -bt mode.
1372 On older configuration files, assume option "l" (use Errors-To
1373 header) for back compatibility. NOTE: this DOES NOT
1374 imply an endorsement of the Errors-To: header in any way.
1375 Accept -x flag on AIX-3 as well as OSF/1. Why, why, why???
1376 Don't log errors on EHLO -- it isn't a "real" error for an old
1377 SMTP server to give an error on this command, and
1378 logging it in the transcript can be confusing. Fix
1379 from Bill Wisner.

1399 Fix broken -m flag in K definition -- even if -m (match only)
1400 was specified, it would still replace the key with the
1401 value. Noted by Rick McCarty of Texas Instruments.
1402 If the name server timed out over several days, no "timed out"
1403 message would ever be sent back. The timeout code
1404 has been moved from markfailure() to dropenvelope()
1405 so that all such failures should be diagnosted. Pointed
1406 out by Christophe Wolfhugel and others.
1407 Relax safefile() constraints: directories in an include or
1408 forward path must be readable by self if the controlling
1409 user owns the entry, readable by all otherwise (e.g.,
1410 when reading your .forward file, you have to own and
1411 have X permssion in it; everyone needs X permission in
1412 the root and directories leading up to your home);
1413 include files must be readable by anyone, but need not
1414 be owned by you.
1415 If _POSIX_SAVED_IDS is defined, setuid to the owner before
1416 reading a .forward file; this gets around some problems
1417 on NFS mounts if root permission is not exported and
1418 the user's home directory isn't x'able.
1419 Additional NeXT portability enhancements from Axel Zinser.
1420 Additional HP-UX portability enhancements from Brian Bullen.
1421 Add a timeout around SMTP message writes; this assumes you can
1422 get throughput of at least 64 bytes/second. Note that
1423 this does not impact the "datafinal" default, which
1424 is separate; this is just intended to work around
1425 network clogs that will occur before the final dot
1426 is sent. From Eric Wassenaar.
1427 Change map code to set the "include null" flag adaptively --
1428 it initially tries both, but if it finds anything
1429 matching without a null it never tries again with a
1430 null and vice versa. If -N is specified, it never
1431 tries without the null and creates new maps with a
1432 null byte. If -O is specified, it never tries with
1433 the null (for efficiency). If -N and -O are specified,
1434 you get -NO (get it?) lookup at all, so this would
1435 be a bad idea. If you don't specify either -N or -O,
1436 it adapts.
1437 Fix recognition of "same from address" so that MH submissions
1438 will insert the appropriate full name information;
1439 this used to work and got broken somewhere along the
1440 way.
1441 Some changes to eliminate some unnecessary SYSERRs in the
1442 log. For example, if you lost a connection, don't
1443 bother reporting that fact on the connection you lost.
1444 Add some "extended debugging" flags to try to track down
1445 why we get occassional problems with file descriptor
1446 one being closed when execing a mailer; it seems to
1447 only happen when there has been another error in the
1448 same transaction. This requires XDEBUG, defined
1449 by default in conf.h.
1450 Add "-X filename" command line flag, which logs both sides of
1451 all SMTP transactions. This is intended ONLY for
1452 debugging bad implementations of other mailers; start
1453 it up, send a message from a mailer that is failing,
1454 and then kill it off and examine the indicated log.
1455 This output is not intended to be particularly human
1456 readable. This also adds the HASSETVBUF compile
1457 flag, defaulted on if your compiler defines __STDC__.
1458 CONFIG: change SMART_HOST to override an SMTP mailer. If you
1459 have a local net that should get direct connects, you
1460 will need to use LOCAL_NET_CONFIG to catch these hosts.
1461 See cf/README for an example.
1462 CONFIG: add LOCAL_MAILER_ARGS (default: `mail -d $u') to handle
1463 sites that don't use the -d flag.
1464 CONFIG: hide recipient addresses as well as sender addresses
1465 behind $M if FEATURE(allmasquerade) is specified; this
1466 has been requested by several people, but can break
1467 local aliases. For example, if you mail to "localalias"
1468 this will be rewritten as "localalias@masqueradehost";
1469 although initial delivery will work, replies will be
1470 broken. Use it sparingly.
1471 CONFIG: add FEATURE(domaintable). This maps unqualified domains
1472 to qualified domains in headers. I believe this is
1473 largely equivalent to the IDA feature of the same name.
1474 CONFIG: use $U as UUCP name instead of $k. This permits you
1475 to override the "system name" as your UUCP name --
1476 in particular, to use domain-ized UUCP names. From
1477 Bill Wisner of The Well.
1478 CONFIG: create new mailer "esmtp" that always tries EHLO
1479 first. This is currently unused in the config files,
1480 but could be used in a mailertable entry.
1481

EA
14828.1C/8.1B 93/06/27
1483 Serious security bug fix: it was possible to read any file on
1484 the system, regardless of ownership and permissions.
1485 If a subroutine returns a fully qualified address, return it
1486 immediately instead of feeding it back into rewriting.
1487 This fixes a problem with mailertable lookups.
1488 CONFIG: fix some M4 frotz (concat => CONCAT)
1489
14908.1B/8.1A 93/06/12
1491 Serious bug fix: pattern matching backup algorithm stepped by
1492 two tokens in classes instead of one. Found by Claus
1493 Assmann at University of Kiel, Germany.
1494
14958.1A/8.1A 93/06/08
1496 Another mailertable fix....
1497
14988.1/8.1 93/06/07
1499 4.4BSD freeze. No semantic changes.
1500
15016.65/6.34 93/06/06
1502 Fix some lintish problems.
1503 Fix some cases where server SMTP behaved poorly when handed bogus
1504 input, pointed out by Eric Wassenaar.
1505 CONFIG: fix some more (sigh) mailertable bugs -- thanks to
1506 Motonori Nakamura of Kyoto University (again).
1507
15086.64/6.33 93/06/05
1509 Don't send 050 (-v) information after the 250 response to a QUIT
1510 command in srvrsmtp -- clients usually close the connection
1511 at this point, and it causes bogus error messages.
1512 Don't send messages that have errors on input (such as unbalanced
1513 parentheses) during SMTP transactions, since a return
1514 message has (probably) already been sent.
1515 Give better diagnostics on timeouts during network reads, including
1516 information similar to the SMTP phase.
1517 Fix bug that caused SMTP messages to deliver synchronously; this
1518 happened after the DATA 250, and hence caused reading the
1519 next command to be delayed.
1520 Ignore Errors-To: header unless 'l' (lower case el) header is
1521 specified. The Errors-To: header violates RFC 1123.
1522 Errors-To: was only needed to take the place of the
1523 envelope sender in the days when most Unix mailers
1524 didn't understand about the two kinds of senders.
1525 Don't send warning messages in response to automatically generated
1526 messages (that is, those From:<>).
1527 CONFIG: fix some rather stupid typos in the mailertable code
1528 pointed out by Motonori Nakamura of Kyoto University.
1529 CONFIG: add confUSE_ERRORS_TO configuration option.
1530 CONFIG: if ALWAYS_ADD_DOMAIN is selected, try to use $M
1531 (masquerade name) instead of $j.
1532 CONFIG: don't add dots to relay names (added in 6.29); it breaks
1533 several things, and can be simulated by dot terminating
1534 the names of relays. For example, use:
1535 DBbit.net.relay.
1536 (note the trailing dot).
1537
15386.63/6.32 93/06/01
1539 Fix prototypes to eliminate chars in argument lists -- some
1540 compilers are pissy about this.
1541 Log protocol ($r) and body type if set so we can determine if
1542 the adaptive algorithms are working.
1543 Pessimize on locking of database files (particularly for NEWDB
1544 databases) during opens. There were problems with
1545 processes opening the file while it was rebuilt; since
1546 NEWDB caches heavily, the reader opened an empty file,
1547 which is an error. If your system has the ability to
1548 lock atomically on open, this works properly; otherwise,
1549 there are race conditions.
1550 Check mod time on .pag file instead of .dir in NDBM aliases
1551 because the .dir file doesn't get updated for small
1552 alias files. From John Gardiner Myers of CMU.
1553 More Solaris portability -- it now compiles on Solaris, but
1554 hangs up in gethostbyname().
1555 Move setting of RES_DEBUG flag before first myhostname() call
1556 so we can see name server traffic on that call.
1557 Fsync() queue files.
1558 Fix a problem that causes -bi to try to rebuild maps other than
1559 the alias file(s).
1560 Fix a problem that caused udb to reject entries from any but
1561 the first database listed.
1562 Rearrange doc subdirectory for 4.4BSD release tape.
1563 CONFIG: put $r into the Received line. This was an oversight.
1564 CONFIG: fix typo (call to ruleset 99 should have been rulset 90).
1565 CONFIG: move "auxiliary" subroutines to be in ruleset 90-99
1566 range -- in the long run, single digit rulesets may
1567 become reserved for builtin use by sendmail.
1568 CONFIG: fix major problem that causes host aliases (that is,
1569 anything in $=w != $j) to not be recognized. This has
1570 been around since 6.30.
1571
15726.62/6.31 93/05/28
1573 BETA RELEASE
1574 Fix recursive syserr (if there is an error printing a syserr
1575 message). This makes the code much less eager to consider
1576 a write error as serious. This also includes some
1577 heuristics to be clever about closed connections.
1578 Lock NEWDB files during gets. This requires version 1.5 or later
1579 of the db library. If you have an older version, you
1580 can use -DOLD_NEWDB. This will go away in a few weeks.
1581 Fix problem causing aliases that use host maps to get overwritten.
1582 Do appropriate byte swapping on port numbers in ident protocol
1583 code. Fix from Allan Johannesen of WPI.
1584 Defer opening of map files to the same time as alias files so that
1585 the daemon will tend to pick up new versions more promptly.
1586 Prototype a bunch more functions.
1587 Some Solaris 2.1 changes (still doesn't link though).
1588 Try to simplify Makefiles by including more subordinate #defines
1589 in conf.h (based on OS type).
1590 CONFIG: check for domains if FEATURE(mailertable) is defined.
1591 For example, if the host name is "knecht.cs.berkeley.edu"
1592 it will search the following mailertable keys:
1593 knecht.cs.berkeley.edu
1594 .cs.berkeley.edu
1595 .berkeley.edu
1596 .edu
1597 This could be used to replace the special relays for bitnet
1598 and similar nets.
1599
16006.61/6.30 93/05/24
1601 Fix problem that prevented appending dots on canonified host
1602 names. This breaks tons of config files -- very
1603 important fix.
1604 Fix improper pointer dereference in response to HELO command.
1605 Fix core dump if debugging set in map_rewrite.
1606 CONFIG: add FEATURE(always_add_domain) to always attach the
1607 local domain (only impacts local mail).
1608 CONFIG: try to avoid turning names into $j -- although
1609 technically a host can only have one "canonical name",
1610 it seems to be common practice to have several.
1611
16126.60/6.29 93/05/22
1613 Major change: merge alias databases with maps. This expands and
1614 changes the map class interface but fixes a bunch of bugs.
1615 The important user-visible change is that the file name
1616 in a K line now does not include the ".db" extension; this
1617 is added automatically. Also, the -d (NIS domain) flag is
1618 missing from the K config line; use @domain instead.
1619 When compiling, the *_MAP names are gone -- just compile
1620 in NDBM, NEWDB, and/or NIS support.
1621 Announce mailer/host/user triple on -bv flag -- from Brian
1622 Bullen of Stirling University.
1623 Don't send more than one line in response to HELO -- it confuses
1624 Pony Express, which then behaves very badly. However,
1625 this change does send two line 220 greetings, with the
1626 second line reading "ESMTP spoken here". The usersmtp
1627 module recognizes this and goes into ESMTP mode regardless
1628 of the setting of the "a" mailer flag. Thus, "a" means
1629 "always try EHLO".
1630 AIX portability changes (thanks to Christophe Wolfhugel of
1631 Herve Schauer Consultants (Paris) for providing me with
1632 an INSA account for this purpose). Lightly tested. Use
1633 -D_AIX3. This probably breaks compatibility with some
1634 older systems (e.g., 4.2bsd) but still works on SunOS
1635 4.1.2, Ultrix 4.2A, HP-UX 8.07, OSF/1 T1.3, and AIX 3.2.3.
1636 Fix a problem causing an error message loop if the output channel
1637 is hosed.
1638 Add the Makefiles that I use for various environments -- some are
1639 Berkeley make versions and some are old make versions.
1640 My makefile for the NeXT box has gotten lost, alas!
1641 PRALIASES: support for printing NEWDB databases. From
1642 Michael J. Corrigan of U.C. San Diego.
1643 CONFIG: don't pass pseudo-domains to $[ ... $] (if you have
1644 a wildcard MX it can have wierd results). From
1645 Christophe Wolfhugel.
1646 CONFIG: dot terminate relay hostnames in S0. From Christophe
1647 Wolfhugel.
1648
16496.59/6.28 93/05/13
1650 Log version with SMTP daemon startup message.
1651 Adjust setproctitle to work on NetBSD and BSD/386.
1652 Fix null pointer reference in MX fallback code.
1653 A bunch of minor fixes from Eric Wassenaar:
1654 If deliver cannot execv the mailer, return EX_OSERR
1655 instead of EX_TEMPFAIL (to give better
1656 error messages).
1657 Consistently malloc e_message.
1658 Catch degenerate case of calling returntosender()
1659 with an empty returnq.
1660 MIME reformatting.
1661
16626.58/6.28 93/05/13
1663 Fix bug that can cause incorrect verbose display of user smtp
1664 messages.
1665 Disable SMTP VERB command if PRIV_NOEXPN is set (since this
1666 could reveal the same information.
1667 Allow failure when reading SMTP greeting message to go on to
1668 next MX host.
1669 Add "MIME-Version: 1.0" header if using MIME (this was NOT
1670 included in RFC 1344, but Bill King of Allan-Bradley
1671 Company forwarded me email from Nathaniel Borenstein
1672 claiming that it was an inadvertent omission).
1673 Don't use Content-Type: X-message-header. According to John
1674 Myers of CMU, many MIME readers will completely ignore
1675 the data if they don't recognize it. Instead, just
1676 add a blank line to make it a legal (empty) message.
1677 Fix problem causing dots to keep getting appended to cached
1678 hostnames. This can cause buffer overrun conditions.
1679 The problem was found by Erik Forsberg of Retix,
1680 although I used a different bug fix than he provided.
1681 Fix parsing of split header/envelope rewriting specs -- from
1682 Eric Forsberg.
1683 Fix from Eric Wassenaar to correct To: lists in error messages.
1684
16856.57/6.28 93/05/11
1686 Fix minor glitch causing extra ctladdrs to be output to queue
1687 file. Just an annoyance.
1688 Cache results of name server canonification lookups to avoid
1689 backed up queue runs.
1690 Major rewrite of alias.c: considerable cleanup, plus sample
1691 (untested) support for NIS aliases. The "A" option
1692 can now be a comma separated list (or be repeated) --
1693 that is, you can have multiple alias databases. Each
1694 database can have the syntax ``class:file''; if no class
1695 is specified, the "implicit" class is assumed. Implicit
1696 searches through a list of compiled in types -- hash,
1697 dbm, nis, and stab. Alias files are searched in the
1698 order they are listed. For example:
1699 OAhash:/etc/aliases.local,/etc/aliases
1700 OAnis:mail.aliases@my.nis.domain
1701 first searches the hash database /etc/aliases.local,
1702 then the regular /etc/aliases database, then the NIS
1703 map "mail.aliases" in the NIS domain "my.nis.domain".
1704 If in Verbose mode (probably from VERB command) run SMTP job
1705 in foreground and don't do RCPT optimizations.
1706 Add udb :mailsender as equivalent to owner- for regular aliases.
1707 Delete option 8; add option 7 that means the opposite. That is,
1708 default to 8-bit mode; a special option is needed to
1709 force sendmail into 7 bit mode.
1710 Send error messages in encapsulated MIME format.
1711 New compile flag "NIS" that turns on NIS alias and NIS map
1712 support.
1713 Add "j" option to send error messages in MIME (RFC 1341)
1714 encapsulated message format per RFC 1344. The
1715 syntax is pretty ugly if you don't have MIME-aware
1716 user agents.
1717 Clean up message handling (for display in mailq output).
1718 New setproctitle implementation for 4.4bsd.
1719 Create files (such as ~/dead.letter) using mode FileMode (the
1720 F option value) instead of 0666.
1721 Fix bug causing output of EXPN command to not be fully qualified.
1722 This may cause some problems with UUCP addresses that
1723 will require some config file assistance -- specifically,
1724 the $: part has to include the host name for this output
1725 to make sense.
1726 Fix a problem that sometimes diagnosed errors and still sent the
1727 message if the header syntax was bad.
1728 Fix a bug that caused an error message to be emailed when sendmail
1729 was operating in -bv mode.
1730 Add "ListenQueueSize" keyword to daemon options option (OO) to
1731 set the queue size parameter passed to listen(). You
1732 will normally have to tweak your kernel to up this.
1733 Strip spaces off of beginning of message-id before logging (in
1734 case it was folded across lines).
1735 Tweak compile flags in daemon.c -- there were some cases where
1736 it wouldn't work without NETINET.
1737 Change *file* mailer to output all the usual default headers
1738 (From, Date, Message-Id). It gets used when sending
1739 back error messages.
1740 CONFIG: explicitly catch and diagnose list:; syntax in ruleset
1741 zero -- this is not a valid recipient syntax according
1742 to RFC 821.
1743 CONFIG: add confMIME_FORMAT_ERRORS to send error messages in
1744 MIME format. Defaults to on.
1745 CONFIG: add SMTP_MAILER_FLAGS and UUCP_MAILER_FLAGS to augment
1746 the flags for those mailers.
1747
17486.56/6.27 93/05/01
1749 Fix problem that causes the fallback mail to postmaster
1750 (case ESM_POSTMASTER in savemail()) to not look at
1751 aliases (ugh).
1752 Some more HPUX tweaking (compile flag hpux => __hpux so it
1753 still works in ANSI mode).
1754 Don't try to flock non-regular files when mailing to a file.
1755 In particular, this was a problem if you tried to
1756 send to /dev/null.
1757 Fix a wierd bug that can cause senders to be queued as
1758 recipients if the name server is down when the mail
1759 is initially sent. This hack just ignores sender
1760 deletion (essentially, it sets the MeToo flag) if there
1761 is a TEMPFAIL during processing of the sender address.
1762 Obscure.
1763 Fix a dangling else problem -- from Brian Bullen from University
1764 of Stirling, UK.
1765 Add the "b" mailer flag to force a blank line on the end of
1766 messages. Some brilliant versions of /bin/mail insist
1767 on this but do not add it themselves.
1768 Add the "g" mailer flag to prevent user SMTP from sending
1769 "MAIL From:<>". This is only intended to be a
1770 transitional gesture, and should not be used if at
1771 all possible. It appears that Berkeley and IDA
1772 config files have always handled this properly; the
1773 UK config kit apparently does not.
1774 Don't lowercase and then capitalize header field names -- leave
1775 them with original capitalization. Fixes from Bill
1776 King of Allen-Bradley Company.
1777 Further cleanup and improved reporting of error messages,
1778 particularly conditions that cause messages to be
1779 requeued for future delivery.
1780 Tweak syslog priorities in some cases.
1781 CONFIG: clean up route-addr on UUCP addresses.
1782
17836.55/6.25 93/04/27
1784 HPUX 8.07 compatibility changes in getla() -- I had to make
1785 these changes to get it to work at Berkeley, although
1786 others seem to have been working before (???).
1787 Various patches to XLA code.
1788 Fix problem that causes setuid bit on files to be ignored from
1789 SMTP or in queue runs. Problem noted by Jason Ornstein
1790 of Under The Wire, Inc.
1791 Fix problem that can cause CNAMEs to be ignored.
1792 Generalize getmxrr to match local host in $=w instead of a
1793 single name passed in.
1794 Some cleanup from Eric Wassenaar:
1795 Use FileMailer instead of ProgMailer in two places.
1796 Eliminate duplicate 8th-bit stripping in commaize.
1797 Fix a problem with mis-parsing of backslash escapes
1798 under some circumstances.
1799 NIS map fix (was always including trailing null character)
1800 from Mike Glendinning of Ingres UK.
1801 Add "a" mailer flag to try using ESMTP. It tries the EHLO
1802 command and if that fails falls back to regular SMTP.
1803 Also parses EHLO option keywords. If host supports
1804 SIZE extension, this is added to the MAIL FROM:
1805 command.
1806 Extend "b" option to include a second value which is the
1807 maximum message size this server is willing to accept.
1808 For example, a value of "10/1000000" says that there
1809 must be ten blocks free, and sendmail will reject
1810 any message larger than one megabyte.
1811 Some portability hooks for NeXT (this could be applicable
1812 to Mach in general). You have to create an empty
1813 file called "unistd.h" to get it to compile.
1814 Adjust config values (MAXLINE, MAXATOM, and PSBUFSIZE) to
1815 be more generous.
1816 Add X400-Received: to the list of headers tagged with H_TRACE
1817 in conf.c. From Bill King, Allen-Bradley Co.
1818
18196.54/6.25 93/04/19
1820 Fix problem that caused redefinition of SMTP and QUEUE compile
1821 flags. Pointed out by Jon Forrest of the Sequoia 2000
1822 project at Berkeley.
1823 Properly handle \! hack -- it was treating host\!user as one
1824 token (host!user) instead of three (host, !, user).
1825 Fix from Eric Wassenaar of NIKHEF-H.
1826 Fix compilation problem in getauthinfo() if IDENTPROTO is off.
1827 Turn off DEFNAMES and DNSRCH when getting the hostsignature
1828 (i.e., MX records) in level 1 configuration files; this
1829 matches the old behaviour. From Motonori Nakamura of
1830 Kyoto University.
1831 Improve error message printing -- if sent through an alias,
1832 error messages include the name of the alias in the
1833 message. Unfortunately, in order to make this work
1834 properly in queue runs, this changes the format of the
1835 C line in the qf file. The relatively uselessness of
1836 the previous information was pointed out to me by
1837 Allan E Johannesen of WPI.
1838 Add XLA compile flag to add hooks to Christophe Wolfhugel's
1839 extended load average code. This is still in very early
1840 form. For information regarding the guts of the xla
1841 code, contact Christophe.Wolfhugel@grasp.insa-lyon.fr.
1842 Additional hooks for detecting tempfails in rewriting rules
1843 (that is, in map lookups).
1844
18456.53/6.25 93/04/15
1846 Properly diagnose ruleset zero returning null (instead of a mailer
1847 triple). From Motonori Nakamura of Kyoto University.
1848 More generalization of socket code for other protocols.
1849 Shorten timeouts on reverse name lookups -- since they are done
1850 during connection establishment, long timeouts here can
1851 cause higher level timeouts. This mainly serves to accept
1852 mail from hosts that do not have proper reverse (PTR) DNS
1853 records set up.
1854 Reset e_statmsg before each mailer invocation to avoid bogus
1855 messages in the log.
1856 Redefine $r, $s, and $_ in error envelopes so you don't get
1857 incorrect cruft in the error message. Problem noted by
1858 Motonori Nakamura of Kyoto University.
1859 Fix a problem that can cause failure to return errors to Postmaster
1860 in certain cases. From Motonori Nakamura.
1861 Fix a problem that can cause some systems to give duplicate error
1862 messages when a bad syntax address such as "<a" is presented
1863 to an SMTP server. It doesn't seem to occur on all
1864 machines. From Motonori Nakamura.
1865 Default IDENTPROTO off for Ultrix and HPUX, which apparently have
1866 the interesting "feature" that when they receive a "Host
1867 unreachable" message they closes all open connections to
1868 that host. However, some firewall gateways send this message
1869 if you try to connect to an unauthorized port, such as the
1870 IDENT port (113). Thus, no email can be received from such
1871 hosts. There is some evidence that versions of Ultrix before
1872 4.3 do not have this problem. Thanks to Tom Ivar Helbekkmo
1873 for pointing out this behaviour to me and to Michael Corrigan
1874 of U.C. San Diego for informing me about the HPUX problem.
1875 Allow IPC mailers to return a colon-separated list of hosts in the
1876 $@ clause; these are searched in order as though they were
1877 MX records.
1878 When sending an error report, print the list of addresses tagged
1879 as bad. Requested by Allan E Johannesen of WPI.
1880 Change map function calls to return a status code. This gets
1881 passed back as the result of rewrite. Parseaddr marks
1882 the address as a QUEUEUP address if the return code is
1883 EX_TEMPFAIL. All this to queue properly if the name
1884 server is down. This code is not well tested. This code
1885 changes the interface to map lookup functions (a fifth
1886 parameter, int *statp, is added). Feature requested by
1887 Dan Oscarsson.
1888 Don't delete quotes (in the dequote map) if there are spaces in
1889 the string, since this would cause them to be replaced by
1890 the SpaceSub character.
1891 Accept BODY=8BITMIME on SMTP MAIL command. This isn't advertised
1892 because the 8BIT to 7BIT translation doesn't exist yet.
1893 This does add a "bodytype" field to both envelope and
1894 queue file and a -B command line flag to pass the type in
1895 during direct invocations.
1896 Discard return error messages only on responses to responses to
1897 responses, not on responses to responses. That is, the
1898 algorithm is to try return to sender, then return to
1899 postmaster, then discard. Previously it discarded
1900 immediately if the return to sender pass failed.
1901 CONFIG: back out change to hide unqualified hostnames behind %-hack.
1902 This screws up local aliases and .forward files.
1903 CONFIG: add FEATURE(nocanonify) to turn off calls to $[ ... $];
1904 some sites only handle completely canonified names.
1905 Requested by John Gardiner Myers of CMU.
1906 CONFIG: some UUCP code was still included even if FEATURE(nouucp)
1907 was specified.
1908
19096.52/6.24 93/04/10
1910 Clean up some minor glitches on error return messages pointed out
1911 by Motonori Nakamura of Kyoto University.
1912 Fix reply() to not reset SmtpReplyBuffer on fatal errors; this
1913 was supposed to reset SmtpMsg Buffer. This makes the
1914 client side code virtually useless. Reported by Allan
1915 E Johannesen of WPI and Phil Brandenberger of Swarthmore.
1916 Better debug messages if fuzzy is disabled, suggested by Allan
1917 E Johannesen of WPI.
1918 Offset SmtpReplyBuffer by four in usersmtp when checking for
1919 loopback. From Eric Wassenaar.
1920 Don't set $s until after runinchild in srvrsmtp -- otherwise
1921 it gets cleared. From Eric Wassenaar.
1922 Implement IDA-style $&x for deferred macro expansion.
1923 More POSIX compatibility.
1924 CONFIG: Hide unqualified hostnames behind %-hack using $s as the
1925 actual sender. This is only done if $r is non-null, that
1926 is, if this is not locally submitted mail.
1927 CONFIG: Add FEATURE(bitdomain) allowing mapping of BITNET host
1928 names to internet domains. A program contributed by
1929 John Gardiner Myers of CMU to create the maps is included
1930 in the contrib directory (in the "misc" tar file).
1931 CONFIG: Add FEATURE(uucpdomain) for a similar mapping for UUCP
1932 hosts. There is currently no tool to create this map.
1933
19346.51/6.23 93/04/04
1935 Add D= mailer flag to specify a path of possible working directories
1936 in which to execute the mailer. This is intended for the
1937 prog mailer; some shells can get upset if they don't have
1938 access to the current directory.
1939 Add RFC 1413 (IDENT) protocol support. This is only very loosely
1940 tested. This adds a $_ macro to be the authenticated
1941 info (in ``user@domain [address]'' form) and debug flag
1942 9 to trace the protocol.
1943 Check for loopbacks in usersmtp instead of srvrsmtp -- there is no
1944 reason for a local agent to not be talking to the localhost
1945 (although the inverse is not true).
1946 Add a few hooks for automated map rebuilding. This is certainly
1947 not done yet.
1948 CONFIG: Have prog mailer specify a path of ``D=$z:/'' -- that is,
1949 user's home directory then the root.
1950 CONFIG: Log RFC 1413 identification in Received: line.
1951
19526.50/6.22 93/04/01
1953 Fixes to requeueing code to make it compute priority, nrcpts,
1954 and the like properly.
1955
19566.49/6.22 93/04/01
1957 Diagnose incorrect privacy flags. Suggested by Bryan Costales
1958 of ICSI.
1959 Some ANSI C fixes.
1960 Arrange to quote backslashes as well as other special characters
1961 in the phrase part of a route-addr.
1962 Some fixes to FallBackMX code suggested by Motonori Nakamura of
1963 Kyoto University.
1964 More vigorous zeroing of CurHostAddr to avoid logging of bogus
1965 host addresses when you are actually just printing
1966 information from the MCI structure; problem noted by
1967 Michael Corrigan of U.C. San Diego.
1968 Don't ignore rest of queue if any job is not runnable. This can
1969 also cause an incorrect job to be lost. Fix from
1970 Eric Wassenaar.
1971 Always respond "quickly" to RCPT command; do alias expansion and
1972 the like later. This also means that mail for lists that
1973 have errors will be acccepted, and an error sent back
1974 later. This is done by instantiating the queue file
1975 and then immediately running and requeueing it.
1976
19776.48/6.22 93/03/30
1978 Fix incorrect diagnosis of infinite loop in ruleset. Problem noted
1979 by several people.
1980 Improve information printed when infinite loops are discovered.
1981 Zero CurHostAddr to fix erroneous internet addresses in log when no
1982 addresses can be bound. Pointed out by Motonori Nakamura
1983 of Kyoto University.
1984 "Probe" SMTP connections using RSET instead of NOOP "just in case".
1985 Suggested by John Gardiner Myers of CMU.
1986 Don't warn about -f if you are setting sender to yourself.
1987
19886.47/6.22 93/03/29
1989 Fix incompatible call to endmailer in smtpquit which causes core
1990 dumps. Noted by Allan E Johannesen of WPI.
1991 HPUX portability changes from Michael J. Corrigan of UC San Diego.
1992 Require MAIL before RCPT command in srvrsmtp.c. This had been
1993 intentional from the 821 draft days when the order wasn't
1994 clear, but is silly now.
1995 Fix bug in nis_magic routine that was initializing parameters
1996 incorrectly. Fix from Takahiro Kanbe of Fuji Xerox
1997 Information Systems Co., Ltd.
1998 Change default for PrivacyFlags in conf.c to 0 -- since it always
1999 "or"s in new values, there was no way to turn off the
2000 AuthWarning stuff.
2001 Add O option to set SMTP daemon options.
2002 Add V option to set fallback MX host. This always sorts at lower
2003 priority than anything it gets from the name server. It
2004 should only be used for environments with very bad network
2005 connectivity. Requested by several people.
2006 Log sending info. It's not clear this is a good idea.
2007 CONFIG: fix typo in mailertable code. Noted by Phil Brandenberger
2008 of Swarthmore.
2009 CONFIG: add confDAEMON_OPTIONS and confFALLBACK_MX to set options
2010 O and V, respectively.
2011
20126.46/6.21 93/03/26
2013 Fix botch in server SMTP that broke transactions that did not
2014 use HELO first (like MH). Fix from Michael Corrigan
2015 of U.C. San Diego.
2016 Fall back to other MX records if there is an error anywhere
2017 in delivery (actually on MAIL or DATA -- RCPT is harder).
2018 Suggested by John Gardiner Myers and Motonori Nakamura.
2019 Revert to non-prototypes -- it turns out that our ANSI C
2020 compiler is more forgiving than most others about
2021 mixing prototyped extern declarations with non-prototyped
2022 function definitions.
2023 Fix a problem with multi-word class matching pointed out by
2024 Neil Rickert. Given:
2025 CX b a.b.c
2026 R$+ $=X $+ $: $1 < $2 > $3
2027 the input "user@a.b.c" failed instead of being properly
2028 rewritten as "user@a.<b>.c".
2029 Neil also convinced me that it was correct that $~ should match
2030 only one token -- the problem is that it's always possible
2031 to add another token, so $~ matches far too eagerly.
2032
20336.45/6.21 93/03/25
2034 Implement multi-word classes (properly!).
2035
20366.44/6.21 93/03/25
2037 Add X-Authentication-Warning: headers to clue users into possible
2038 attempts to forge mail. This is on the authwarnings
2039 privacy flag, but is the default. Suggested by Bryan
2040 Costales of ICSI.
2041 Pass default units for convtime in so they can be more reasonable.
2042 Allow config files to always add a new Comments: header (i.e.,
2043 they will be added even if an old one already exists).
2044 Suggested by Bryan Costales of ICSI.
2045 Allow config files to delete an existing Return-Path: header.
2046 These should only be added at final delivery. Suggested
2047 by Bryan Costales of ICSI.
2048 Some debugging additions. Suggested by Bryan Costales of ICSI.
2049 Clean up logging of Family 0 addresses. Noted by David Muir
2050 Sharnoff and others.
2051 Add a "dequote" map class. This allows config files to strip
2052 quotes off of addresses. Note that this is not a builtin
2053 map, just a class -- so you have to define the map
2054 using the K line.
2055 Fix a bug in the queueup() loop getting a locked tf where in
2056 very odd cases it can fall off the bottom and core dump.
2057 Of course, it was P{r Emanuelsson who found it....
2058 Open a new transcript when splitting an envelope. Problem found
2059 by Allan E Johannesen of WPI.
2060 Improved error output in endmailer if the mailer core dumps.
2061 CONFIG: Fix typo in UUCP mailer definition.
2062 CONFIG: Default several of the new options on: eight bit input,
2063 privacy flags set to "authwarnings", and message warning
2064 set to 4h.
2065 CONFIG: Use dequote map.
2066
20676.43/6.20 93/03/23
2068 Fix problem with assumption of an sa_len field in a generic
2069 sockaddr -- it turns out that most vendors haven't
2070 picked up this (very important) fix.
2071 Change compilation flags for daemon code -- select one or both
2072 of NETINET or NETISO, but don't ever set DAEMON manually.
2073 CONFIG: add FEATURE(mailertable) to do IDA-style mailertables.
2074
20756.42/6.19 93/03/19
2076 Use Postmaster as default fallback return address, not root.
2077 POSIX changes for file descriptor handling.
2078 Diagnose errors writing new queue file.
2079 If you change the owner using an owner- alias, also change the
2080 error mode to EM_MAIL so that errors don't get dropped
2081 into an inappropriate directory. Problem noted by
2082 Allan E Johannesen of WPI.
2083 If you are su'ed to root, send email as who you really are, not
2084 as root. From Brian Kantor of U.C. San Diego.
2085 Allow warning messages to be sent after a configurable interval
2086 has passed without delivery. The message is sent only
2087 once per envelope. This changes the format of the qf
2088 file to have an F line, and the format of the T option
2089 to accept take the format "return/warn" (both intervals).
2090 Don't force all local names to lower case -- this was left over
2091 from the wierd handling of case mapping on aliases. It
2092 is now driven (as expected) by the "u" mailer flag.
2093 Problem noted by P{r Emanuelsson.
2094 Fix problem that caused headers on returned email to be trashed;
2095 they were getting freed, but are still accessible via
2096 BlankEnvelope.
2097 Fix problem that caused bogus ids to be created on returned
2098 mail.
2099 Add support for ISO and other non-INET networking. This is by
2100 no means finished yet. This does assume a lot of other
2101 system support, like a version of gethostbyname that
2102 returns non-AF_INET addresses.
2103 CONFIG: change default on prog mailer to keep upper case in
2104 user names (i.e., in the program command line).
2105 CONFIG: strip trailing dots off of hosts in uucp mailer before
2106 convert to bang format.
2107 CONFIG: create new "relay" mailer for $R (LOCAL_RELAY) and $H
2108 (MAIL_HUB) delivery that doesn't add local domain. Note
2109 that this violates 821, but is probably "more correct"
2110 for what we are trying to do. Problem pointed out by
2111 Michael Graff of Iowa State.
2112
21136.41/6.18 93/03/18
2114 Clean up unnecessary creates of queue ids (i.e., empty qf files)
2115 when not needed, such as when starting up an SMTP
2116 connection.
2117 Fix problem where split envelopes aren't instantiated in the queue.
2118 This is quite a serious bug.
2119 Owner- aliases had problems with leading spaces causing a
2120 premature delimitation.
2121
21226.40/6.18 93/03/18
2123 Have ending 250 (after DATA) include the id; suggested by
2124 Brian Kantor of UC San Diego.
2125 Add logging on envelope splitting.
2126 Change queue ids to have one more letter encoding the hour of
2127 the day so that during a single day there is a greater
2128 likelihood of uniqueness; requested by Brian Kantor.
2129
21306.39/6.18 93/03/18
2131 Fix minor compile problem if LOCKF is defined.
2132 Define size of tobuf in conf.h. Observed by Toshinari Takahashi
2133 of Toshiba.
2134 Restore e_sender -- this is equivalent to e_from.q_paddr without
2135 decorations such as angle brackets and comments.
2136 OSF/1 on Alpha changes from Allan E Johannesen of WPI.
2137 CONFIG: fix typo in S3 for list syntax (;: => :;). Thanks to
2138 Christopher Hoover for noting the problem.
2139
21406.38/6.17 93/03/17
2141 Pass envelope to disconnect to avoid another use of CurEnv, which
2142 can apparently end up being null at inopportune times.
2143 Log "received from" as "relay=" for consistency (suggested by
2144 John Gardiner Myers).
2145 Fix major bug in header handling: if no From: line existed in
2146 the header (so sendmail inserts one), and the sender is
2147 an alias that has an owner, the From: line shows the
2148 owner (as well as the envelope). Fixed by early binding
2149 the headers (which will change debugging output).
2150 HPUX portability patches from Michael J. Corrigan of UC San Diego.
2151 Some attempts to adapt better to out of open file conditions.
2152 Some changes to ctladdr handling in queue files.
2153
21546.37/6.17 93/03/16
2155 MAJOR CHANGE: delete e_sender and e_returnpath (why are these
2156 different from e_from?) and $< macro.
2157 Log correct IP address in relay= field even if the connection
2158 times out.
2159 Log "received from [RESPONSE]" on EF_RESPONSE messages (from
2160 John Gardiner Myers).
2161 Fixes to SysExMsg logging (sometimes just got "message: %s"
2162 instead of "message: error message"), noted by Eric
2163 Wassenaar. Also reported by Motonori Nakamura.
2164 Improvements to MX piggybacking code, from Motonori Nakamura.
2165 Fix case where CurHostName points to an auto variable that has
2166 been deallocated (from Motonori Nakamura).
2167 Fix bug causing newlines to be included in aliases if option
2168 "n" (check alias RHS) is set; bug noted by David Muir
2169 Sharnoff.
2170 Fix problem causing user names that should be mapped to lower
2171 case to not be mapped if they are sent during a queue
2172 run. This greatly simplifies the case mapping code.
2173 Problem noted by Allan E Johannesen of WPI.
2174 Don't do recipient address rewriting in buildaddr. This
2175 improperly did recipient rewriting on sender addresses,
2176 and just seems bogus in general -- but the change could
2177 break some .cf files.
2178 Pass TZ envariable to child processes for System V.
2179 CONFIG: allow LOCAL_RULE_1 and LOCAL_RULE_2 if you want to
2180 define those rulesets.
2181 KNOWN PROBLEM: I have seen some problems on SunOS that causes
2182 the User Data Base to give errors on some addresses. I
2183 have tracked the problem back at least as far as 93.02.15
2184 (version 6.22). Running with debugging on makes it
2185 go away, so I conclude that it is referencing uninitialized
2186 stack data. I haven't been able to track this down yet.
2187
21886.36/6.16 93/03/08
2189 Allow local mailer to specify $@host -- this lets you assign the
2190 "foo" part of jgm+foo to $h for passing in to the local
2191 mailer.
2192 Additional debug printing in getcanonname (show query type).
2193 Don't add the e_fromdomain on sender addresses -- this interacts
2194 wierdly with the owner- code.
2195 Improve delivery logging to not log obvious or meaningless stuff.
2196 Include numeric IP address in Received: lines per RFC 1123 section
2197 5.2.8.
2198 Fixed a bug in checking stat() return value if restrictmailq is
2199 set. Also, check the entire group set instead of just the
2200 primary group. Both from John Gardiner Myers.
2201 Don't have usrerr automatically print errno, since this is often
2202 misleading.
2203 Use transienterror() in makeconnection after connect() fails and
2204 in openmailer after execve() fails (from Eric Wassenaar).
2205 Also moved transienterror() from util.c to conf.c.
2206 Clean up from= logging on response messages.
2207 Undo patch allowing prescan to return a null vector -- it breaks
2208 too many things.
2209 Config: FEATURE(notsticky) lets you use UDB for everything coming
2210 in to the machine, even if it is specifically targetted
2211 to this machine. Without it, UDB is bypassed if the user
2212 name is fully qualified.
2213 Config: fix another minor botch with <> (local mailer wasn't
2214 mapping them properly).
2215
22166.35/6.15 93/03/05
2217 Fix getrealhostname to return null if sinlen <= 0 -- this can
2218 occur if stdin is a pipe.
2219 Avoid infinite loop in getcanonname if name server return
2220 NO_DATA (for example).
2221 Config: avoid having C flag qualify list syntax and error syntax.
2222
22236.34/6.14 93/03/05
2224 Fix logging in deliver to not pass too many parameters to Ultrix
2225 versions of syslog.
2226 Don't write the pid file until after the daemon has actually
2227 opened and conditioned the connection.
2228 Consider addresses "different" if their q_uids differ (so that
2229 two users forwarding to the same program will be seen
2230 as different, rather than the same).
2231 Fix problem with bad parameters in main() -- they set ExitStat
2232 but don't exit.
2233 Fix null pointer references through RealHostName -- painfully
2234 discovered by Allan E Johannesen of WPI.
2235 Fix bug causing user@@localhost to core dump (yuch).
2236 Config: don't put two @host.dom.ain on users in $=E in SMTP
2237 mailer. Also, catch user@ (no host) in ruleset 0.
2238
22396.33/6.13 93/03/03
2240 Config: add confCW_FILE as the name of the cw configuration file
2241 (defaults to /etc/sendmail.cw). From P{r Emanuelsson.
2242 Allow prescan to return a pointer to an empty list -- this is
2243 not an error. Also, clean up error reporting to avoid
2244 double errors (prescan reports once, then the caller
2245 reports again).
2246 Changes to avoid trusting T_ANY queries -- run them, but if you
2247 don't get the info you expected, do T_A and T_MX queries
2248 anyhow. This also fixes an oversight where _res.options
2249 bits were being ignored.
2250 If PRIV_NOVRFY is set, use 252 response code instead of 502 per
2251 RFC 1123 section 5.2.3. It's not 100% clear that this
2252 is correct, but it probably works better with stupid
2253 mailers that do a VRFY and only check the first digit.
2254
22556.32/6.12 93/03/02
2256 Fix uninitialized variable "protocol" in smtp code.
2257 Include <unistd.h> in sendmail.h -- move towards POSIX/ANSI.
2258 Additional hooks for RFC 1427 (ESMTP SIZE extension). This
2259 includes requiring that enoughspace() know the system
2260 block size, which will undoubtedly break most ports.
2261 Trace flag 19 in use for srvrsmtp.c.
2262 Additional logging -- notably the sending mailer name. This
2263 also changes the delivery logging to strict field=value
2264 syntax.
2265 Fix some problems with messages getting sent even to addresses
2266 that had been marked bad -- from Eric Wassenaar.
2267 More WIDE changes: accept host name inside [...] as non-MXed
2268 host. This is intended ONLY for use inside firewalled
2269 environments, where the MX points at the gateway.
2270 Change .cf file conventions so that mapping for <> addresses
2271 don't have an @ in them (to avoid confusing the C mailer
2272 flag). Pointed out by Neil Rickert.
2273 Config extensions for Sam Leffler's FlexFAX software.
2274
22756.31/6.10 93/02/28
2276 Fix some more bugs in alias owner code -- there were some wierd
2277 cases where an error in a non-aliased name would override
2278 the return info in an aliased name with an owner.
2279 Changes from WIDE Project, forwarded to me by Motonori Nakamura:
2280 Log actual delivery host (after MX et al); from
2281 yasuhiro@dcl.co.jp.
2282 Log daemon startup.
2283 Deliver Postmaster copies without a body.
2284 Better logging of SMTP senders.
2285 Send all program email as daemon even when local.
2286 As requested in various forms from many people, accept -qIstring
2287 to limit queue runs to jobs with queue-id matching string.
2288 Similarly for -qRstring for recipients, -qSstring for
2289 senders.
2290 Initial hooks for ESMTP support (see RFC 1425).
2291 Fixed a syntax error in the UUCP mailer specification that caused
2292 core dumps on startup.
2293 Check for missing A= or P= arguments in mailer definitions.
2294
22956.30/6.10 93/02/27
2296 Require FROZENCONFIG compilation flag to include frozen
2297 configuration code. Frozen configuration is really
2298 not a very good idea any more, particularly in shared
2299 library environments.
2300 Do better checking of errno after opens of :include: and .forward
2301 files to defer delivery on network and other transient
2302 errors. Suggestion from Craig Everhart.
2303 Fix minor botch in read timeout macro processing.
2304 Add FEATURE(nouucp) to config files for sites that know absolutely
2305 nothing about UUCP.
2306 Add built cf files to distribution tape and clarify how to build
2307 them if you don't have the Berkeley make.
2308 Some sizeof(long) portability changes for the Alpha, from Allan
2309 E Johannesen.
2310 Add "restrictmailq" privacy flag -- if set, only people in the same
2311 group as your queue directory can print the queue. If you
2312 set this, be sure you also restrict access to log files....
2313 Fix another bug in owner-list stuff that can cause data files to
2314 be "lost".
2315 Fix a bug with queue runs that cause forwards to yourself to go
2316 into alias/forwarding loops. I'm still iffy about this
2317 fix.
2318 Fix from Eric Wassenaar for suppression of return message code.
2319
23206.29/6.9 93/02/24
2321 Fix yet another problem in alias owner code -- put the wrong return
2322 address on the enclosed return-to-sender letter.
2323
23246.28/6.9 93/02/24
2325 Fix botch in alias owner code that caused it to not operate if the
2326 error was detected locally.
2327
23286.27/6.9 93/02/24
2329 M_LOCAL => M_LOCALMAILER to avoid conflict with Ultrix include
2330 file <sys/mount.h>.
2331 Miscellaneous bug fixes from Eric Wassenaar:
2332 sendmail -bv -t logs the from line even though in verify
2333 mode only.
2334 sendmail -v can go into queue mode if shouldqueue returns
2335 TRUE.
2336 Add route-addr pruning per RFC 1123 section 5.3.3. This can be
2337 disabled using the "R" option.
2338 Delete (always undocumented) -R flag (save original recipients);
2339 there are ways to syslog(3) these now.
2340 Clean up SMTP reply codes -- specify them as needed in the code,
2341 instead of in conf.c -- this was needed during the NCP to
2342 TCP transition, but seems silly now. This also changes
2343 parameters to message and nmessage.
2344 Have mailstats read the .cf file to find the sendmail.st file and
2345 get text versions of mailer names. An initial version of
2346 this code was provided by Tuominen Keijo (although the
2347 comments indicate the good bits were written by "E.V.").
2348 Add yet more System V compatibility hacks.
2349 Fix bug in VRFY code (assumes everything must be a local user).
2350 Allow specification of any of the hard-wired pathnames in the
2351 Makefile.
2352 Delete concept of "trusted users" -- this really didn't provide
2353 any security anyway, and caused some problems.
2354 Delete last vestige of support for the word "at" as an equivalent
2355 to the character "@".
2356 Propagate owner-foo alias information into the envelope sender.
2357 Based on code from John Gardiner Myers. This is a major
2358 semantic change -- beware!
2359 Allow $@ on LHS to indicate "match zero" -- this is used to match
2360 the null expression.
2361
23626.26/6.8 93/02/21
2363 Don't "lose" queue runs. Very important fix from (who else?)
2364 Eric Wassenaar.
2365 Completely reset state on RSET command -- from Eric Wassenaar.
2366 Send error messages and return receipts using an envelope sender
2367 of <> regardless of the setting of $n. Rewriting rules
2368 can undo this if they feel the necessity, as might be
2369 needed for networks that don't understand the syntax.
2370 This is permitted by RFC 821 section 3.6 and required by
2371 RFC 1123 section 5.3.3. THIS REQUIRES VERSION 4 CONFIG
2372 FILES because the rulesets must be able to parse <>
2373 properly.
2374 Don't ever send error messages to "<>" -- they will get sent to
2375 the local postmaster or dumped in /usr/tmp/dead.letter
2376 instead. Per RFC 1123 section 5.3.3.
2377 Explicitly check for email to yourself as a dotted quad. You
2378 have to call $[ [ ... ] $] to get this.
2379 Up the message timeout to five days per RFC 1123 section 5.3.1.1.
2380 Make all read timeouts individually configurable, as strongly
2381 recommended by RFC 1123 section 5.3.2.
2382 Use f_bavail (blocks available to regular users) instead of f_bfree
2383 (blocks available to superuser) in free block checks.
2384 Change $d macro to be the current time, not the origination time,
2385 since this is consistent with how it is used now.
2386 Generalization of enoughspace from Eric Wassenaar covering
2387 SGI, Apollo, HPUX, Ultrix, and SunOS.
2388 Ignore process group signals -- some front ends can do this if
2389 you kill a window too quickly. From Eric Wassenaar.
2390 Change umask to 022.
2391
23926.25/6.8 93/02/20
2393 Close all cached connections before calling mailers and after
2394 forking for delivery (caused double closes which resulted
2395 in false errors).
2396 Add FEATURE(redirect) in config files -- this allows you to alias
2397 old addresses to a pointer to the new address that will
2398 give a 551 error message, but not deliver the mail.
2399 Some code changes to make the 551 errors look pretty.
2400 Names of M4 program paths in config files have changed -- they
2401 are all XXX_MAILER_PATH now, to match XXX_MAILER_FLAGS.
2402 Fix a bug in the QSELFREF code having to do with empty .forward
2403 files, reported by Eric Wassenaar.
2404 Add option "p" (privacy flags); this allows you to tune how
2405 picky the SMTP server will be. This also adds the
2406 confPRIVACY_FLAGS M4 macro in the config files.
2407 Add option "b" (minimum blocks free). If there are fewer than
2408 this number of blocks free on the filesystem containing
2409 the queue directory, the SMTP MAIL command will return
2410 a 452 response and ask you to try again later. This
2411 also adds the confMIN_FREE_BLOCKS M4 macro in the config
2412 files.
2413 Made VRFY just verify (doesn't expand aliases and .forward files);
2414 EXPN does full expansion. RCPT in queue-only mode also
2415 doesn't chase aliases and .forward.
2416
24176.24/6.7 93/02/19
2418 Increase the number of domain search entries in domain.c to allow
2419 for the extra "" entry indicating the root domain.
2420 Reported by Motonori Nakamura of Kyoto U.
2421 Add a "SMART_HOST" in the configs for UUCP-connected sites that
2422 want to forward all mail with extra "@"s to that site.
2423 Also allows SMART_HOST, LOCAL_RELAY, and MAIL_HUB to
2424 be specified as ``mailer:hostname'' to use an alternate
2425 mailer.
2426 Clarified and updated some wording in the Operations Guide.
2427 Add the "c" mailer flag -- this suppresses all comment parts of
2428 addresses (requested by John Curran of NEARnet).
2429 Have -v print prompts in -bt mode even if stdin is not a terminal
2430 (default behaviour is to be silent if not reading from
2431 a terminal). Suggested by Bryan Costales, ICSI.
2432 Move the metacharacters from C0 space (\001-\037) into C1 space
2433 (\201-\237). This also fixes a bunch of potential bugs
2434 with G1 characters (\240-\276) in headers relating to
2435 negative numbers passed to isspace() et al.
2436 Add YP_LAST_MODIFIED and YP_MASTER_NAME to DBM version of alias
2437 database if YPCOMPAT is #defined. Enhancement from
2438 Takahiro Kanbe of Fuji Xerox Information Systems Co., Ltd.
2439 Add "list" Precedence (-30); this can be used with old sendmails
2440 which will map to precedence 0 (which will return error
2441 messages). Suggested by Stephen R. van den Berg.
2442 Many bug fixes from Eric Wassenaar of the National Institute for
2443 Nuclear and High-Energy Physics, Amsterdam:
2444 Clear timeouts properly on open failures in include().
2445 Don't dereference through NULL if no home directory found.
2446 Re-establish SIGCHLD signal on System 5 in reapchild().
2447 Avoid NULL pointer reference on -pFOO flag.
2448 Properly handle backslash escapes in comments.
2449 Correctly check reply status on SMTP NOOP command.
2450 Properly save SMTP error message if peer gives
2451 "Service Shutting Down" message.
2452 Avoid writing to the transcript if it couldn't be opened.
2453 Signal errors in SMTP children to parent properly.
2454 Handle self references in a list more globally (include a
2455 QSELFREF bit in the address flags). This enhancement
2456 was suggested by Eric Wassenaar.
2457 Use initgroups() in hpux, even though it's System-V based. The
2458 HASINITGROUPS compile flag can set this on other systems.
2459 This HPUX behaviour was pointed out by Eric Wassenaar.
2460
24616.23/6.6 93/02/16
2462 Clean up handling of LogLevel to make it easier to figure out
2463 what's on what level.
2464 Change log levels to have some consistency:
2465 1 serious system failures, security problems
2466 2 lost communications, protocol failures
2467 3 other serious failures
2468 4 minor errors
2469 5 message collection
2470 6 vrfy logging, creation of return-to-sender
2471 7 delivery failures
2472 8 delivery successes
2473 9 delivery tempfails (queue ups)
2474 10 database expansion
2475 >64 debugging
2476 Allow IDA-style separated processing on S= and R= in Mailer
2477 definition lines. Note that rulesets 1 and 2 are
2478 still used for both addresses as before. Bruce Lilly
2479 gave a convincing argument that RFC976 insists on
2480 this behaviour.
2481 Added some time zones to arpatounix -- they may not be in the
2482 standards, but they are in use. However, I may delete
2483 arpatounix entirely -- there appears to be no reason
2484 for it to exist.
2485 Change to UUCP mailer (in cf directory) to try to do a saner job.
2486 I'm still not certain about this mailer in general.
2487
24886.22/6.5 93/02/15
2489 Fix bug that prevents saving letters in ~/dead.letter.
2490 Don't add angle brackets in VRFY command if angle brackets already
2491 exist in the address.
2492 Fix bogus error message in udbexpand.
2493 Null terminate host buffers in buildaddr (broken in 6.21) --
2494 IMPORTANT FIX!!
2495
24966.21/6.5 93/02/15
2497 Fix another incorrect error message in alias.c, found by Azuma
2498 Okamoto.
2499 Fix a couple of problems in the more-configurable config files,
2500 found by Tom Ivar Helbekkmo.
2501 Fix problem with quoted :include: entries.
2502 Don't duplicate the filename on verbose printing of .forward and
2503 :include: contents.
2504 Extend size of prescan buffer (to allow bigger addresses). Also,
2505 detect some buffer overflows.
2506 Log user SMTP protocol errors (log level 4).
2507
25086.20/6.4 93/02/14
2509 Fix another problem in the MCI state machine caused when there
2510 were errors generated from the other end to commands
2511 other than RCPT.
2512

2514 Include load average support for DEC Alpha running OSF/1.
2515 Fix multiple-response problem with errors in MAIL From: line.
2516 Fix SMTP reply codes for invalid address syntaxes (give 501;
2517 never give multiple error messages for a single message).
2518 Fix problem where a cached connection timeout rejects all
2519 later connects to that host.
2520 Fix incorrect error message if alias.c is compiled with DBM only.
2521 Additional changes to fix nested conditionals (from Bruce Lilly).
2522 Recover more gracefully from operating system failures, particularly
2523 NULL returns from openmailer (from Noritoshi Demizu,
2524 OMRON Corporation).
2525 Log forward, alias, and userdb expand operations on log level 10;
2526 concept suggested by P{r (Pell) Emanuelsson.
2527 Changes for HPUX 8.07 compatibility.
2528
25296.18/6.4 93/02/12
2530 Allow any config option to be set using an M4 define.
2531 Change UNAME compile flag to HASUNAME for IDA compatibility
2532 (besides, it's a better name).
2533 Note in README that on SunOS it must be linked -Bstatic.
2534 Fairly major change in domain.c to handle wildcard MX records
2535 more rationally. NOTE: the "w" option (no wildcard MX
2536 records match local domain) has been eliminated.
2537 Fix some unset variable references pointed out by Bruce Lilly.
2538 Fix host name in process titles when using cached connection.
2539
25406.17/6.3 93/01/28
2541 Fix System 5 compatibility changes to be compatible with the rest
2542 of the world.
2543
25446.16/6.3 93/01/28

2548
25496.15/6.3 93/01/26
2550 Fix a bug that causes local mail delivered using -odq to be
2551 eliminated as a duplicate (because it matched the
2552 ctladdr, now passed in as a C line). These changes
2553 are pretty tricky......
2554
25556.14/6.3 93/01/25
2556 Add debugging for some MCI errors.
2557
25586.13/6.3 93/01/22

2561 Improve error messages in a few cases to be more self-explanatory.
2562
25636.12/6.3 93/01/21
2564 Fix yet-another problem with environment handling, pointed out
2565 by Yoshitaka Tokugawa and Tom Ivar Helbekkmo.
2566 Some heuristics to try to limit resource exhaustion problems
2567 if a downstream host has been down for a long time.
2568 Fix problem with incorrect host name being logged in "Connection
2569 timed out" messages (from Tom Ivar Helbekkmo).

2577 Fix problem with address delimitor inside quotes.
2578 Define $k and $=k to be the UUCP name (from the uname call)
2579 based on code from Bruce Lilly.
2580
25816.10/6.2 93/01/18
2582 Implement arpatounix (largely code from Bruce Lilly).
2583 Log more info (suggested by John Myers).
2584 Allow nested $?...$|...$. (inspired by code from Bruce Lilly of
2585 Sony US).
2586 POSIX compatibility (noted by Keith Bostic).
2587 Handle SMTP MAIL command errors properly (urged by several people,
2588 notably John Myers of CMU).
2589 Do early diagnosis of .cf errors (notably referencing a RHS
2590 substitution that isn't on the LHS).
2591 Adjust checkpointing to better handle batched recipients, suggested
2592 by John Myers.
2593 Fix miscellaneous bugs.
2594 (config files:) Implement MAIL_HUB for all local mail (to handle
2595 NFS-mounted directories) as urged by Tom Ivar Helbekkmo
2596 of the Norwegian School of Economics.
2597
25986.9/6.1 93/01/13
2599 Environment handling simplification/bug fix -- child processes
2600 get a minimal, fixed environment. This avoids different
2601 behaviour in queue runs.
2602 Handle commas inside comments properly.
2603 Properly limit large messages submitted in -obq mode.
2604
26056.8/6.1 93/01/10
2606 Check mtime of thaw file against .cf and sendmail binary, based on
2607 code from John Myers.
2608
26096.7/6.1 93/01/10
2610 MX piggybacking, based on code from John Myers@CMU.

2612 Bug fix in m_mno computation.
2613
26146.6/6.1 93/01/09

26256.3/6.1 93/01/01
2626 Pass timeouts to sfgets.
2627 Check for control characters in addresses.
