4 | Presumably by the time you get to this READ_ME file, you will have | |
5 | already read the tape in, or will have received this distribution as | |
6 | part of 4.2bsd. If you do not yet have the distribution online, read | |
7 | the tape in now -- you will need about one megabyte to hold the tape. | |
8 | ||
9 | The first thing you should look at is the documentation. The two | |
10 | critical documents are "doc/intro.me" and "doc/op.me". Read both | |
11 | of these before proceeding with your installation. If you have read | |
12 | these before, you should still read through the second one again | |
13 | anyhow, since the installation procedures change occasionally. | |

15 | A brief tour: | |
16 | FILES A list of the files on the tape. | |
17 | Makefile A Makefile that will do a vanilla install for you. | |
18 | adb A set of adb(1) scripts for printing out certain | |
19 | sendmail data structures. | |
20 | adm Administrativia. | |
21 | aux Files that represent programs that are not really | |
22 | "part" of sendmail, or old versions of some files | |
23 | in src for use by people on other system types. | |
24 | cf The configuration files for Berkeley, plus a few | |
25 | prototype configurations for basic installation | |
26 | types. | |
27 | doc The documentation. | |
28 | include The include files used by more than just the sendmail | |
29 | program itself. | |
30 | lib Library routines used by sendmail, but not really | |
31 | "part" of sendmail itself; these might be candidates | |
32 | for libc.a. | |
33 | md Some m4 files used to isolate machine dependencies. | |
34 | src The source for the sendmail program itself. | |
35 | test Some files used for testing -- mostly these are | |
36 | shell files intended as the targets for aliasing. | |

38 | The following are the known major problems and their Problem Report |
39 | number: | |
40 | ||
41 | 012, 043 Names of files and programs cannot have upper case letters | |
42 | in them -- these get mapped to lower case due to the | |
43 | case mapping feature. | |
44 | 178 Because of the different syntaxes used in envelopes versus | |
45 | headers, we will occasionally allow syntactically incorrect | |
46 | headers go out. | |
47 | 226 Quote interpretation may be incorrect -- this is not well | |
48 | defined in the protocols. | |

50 | Due to my present circumstances, I am unable to provide a formal |
51 | level of support for this system. However, I will make whatever | |
52 | attempt I can to answer a reasonable number of questions. Since | |
53 | the company I am working for is not working in this area, and has | |
54 | indulged me tremendously in letting me work on this at all, I regret | |
55 | that I am unable to accept phone calls. I can be contacted as: | |
