-The structure of this directory is:
+PLEASE DO NOT MAKE THIS AVAILABLE ON PUBLIC FTP.  Since it is still an
+early release, I'd prefer that people get copies directly from Berkeley
+to make certain that they have the most recent version.  This isn't
+an attempt to limit access, just to make certain that everyone is able
+to keep up.
+
+You don't have to install mail.local to run the new version of sendmail.
+Many versions of /bin/mail take a "-d" flag or do local delivery already.
+In particular, mail.local is largely specific to 4.4 BSD, and will not
+be easy to compile elsewhere.  It was written by Keith Bostic, not myself,
+and was not intended for the "general case".
+
+There are several related RFCs that you may wish to read -- they are
+available via anonymous FTP to several sites, including nic.ddn.mil
+(directory rfc), ftp.nisc.sri.com (rfc), nis.nsf.net (RFC),
+nisc.jvnc.net (rfc), venera.isi.edu (in-notes), and wuarchive.wustl.edu
+(info/rfc).  They can also be retrieved via electronic mail by sending
+email to one of:
+
+       mail-server@nisc.sri.com
+               Put "send rfcNNN" in message body
+       nis-info@nis.nsf.net
+               Put "send RFCnnn.TXT-1" in message body
+       sendrfc@jvnc.net
+               Put "RFCnnn" as Subject: line
+
+Important RFCs for electronic mail are:
+
+       RFC821  SMTP protocol
+       RFC822  Mail header format
+       RFC974  MX routing
+       RFC976  UUCP mail format
+       RFC1123 Host requirements (modifies 821, 822, and 974)
+
+Other standards that may be of interest (but which are less directly
+relevant to sendmail) are:
+
+       RFC931  Authentication server
+       RFC987  Mapping between RFC822 and X.400
+       RFC1049 Content-Type header field (extension to RFC822)
+
+Unfortunately, for a variety of reasons the Makefiles are for the new
+Berkeley "make" and will not work on the old, traditional make.  I urge
+you to get this make from Net2 (available on many public FTP archives).
+Failing that, some directories have a "Makefile.dist" that will work on
+older versions of make (but don't have the niceties included).
+
+Similar comments apply to the man pages -- they use the new Berkeley
+-mandoc macros instead of the -man macros.  You can get these from
+Net2 as well.
+
+IF YOU WANT TO RUN THE NEW BERKELEY DB SOFTWARE:  ****  DO NOT  ****
+use the version that was on the Net2 tape -- it has a number of
+nefarious bugs that were bad enough when I got them; you shouldn't have
+to go through the same thing.  Instead, get a new version via public
+FTP from vangogh.CS.Berkeley.EDU, file pub/db.tar.Z.  This software
+is highly recommended; it gets rid of several stupid limits, it's much
+faster, and the interface is nicer to animals and plants.  You will
+also probably find that you have to add -I/where/you/put/db/include
+to the sendmail makefile to get db.h to work properly.
