2.99.44 is out..
Hello,
I finally had a quiet moment, and were able to productize
my development source tree again -- including doing diff
in between previous release, and this one (to write the
ChangeLog information, and to update a few man-pages.)
There are several things that propably interest you:
- No more errorneous extra newlines in between the
message headers, and the body (mailbox, sm)
- smtp-server uses the sub-process router as intended,
if so desired, but also has BEGINNINGS of tools to
do instant message address acceptance/rejection
analysis entirely inside the smtp-server before
accepting the message into the server
See below, and into proto/smtpserver.conf* for
ideas about what else you can parametrize ;-)
- the scheduler can be ordered to shut down in orderly
manner, wait reports from the kids, and not leave orphans
around
This seems to work at Linux 2.1.7/RedHat 3.0.3/4.0, and
at DEC UNIX 4.0a. (Those are systems that I run this version
right now.)
I may have forgotten some of your questions/suggestions,
so please remind me of them if you think I have forgotten
something -- I receive a few hundred emails per day, and
the heaps of "process me someday" mail are growing...

PS: I am going to USENIX/USELINUX in two weeks time,
if there are enough of us there, we could do a BOF.

* all transporters:
Process SIGQUIT as marker for desire of termination.
That is, equal to earlier SIGTERM behaviour, but with
a bit less urgent death.
* scheduler/scheduler.c, scheduler/threads.c, scheduler/transport.c:
An attempt to create an orderly shutdown; send the
scheduler signal SIGQUIT will activate this behaviour.
* Makefile.in:
When "make dist", at first do "chmod -R a+rX" to turn on
all read-, and some x-bits.
* SiteConfig.in, configure.in:
Autoconfigure preferred DBTYPE, and default extension for it.
From SiteConfig.in it will propagate to /etc/zmailer.conf
(or where ever that one is..)
* compat/rmail/Makefile.in, compat/sendmail/Makefile.in,
router/Makefile.in, scheduler/Makefile.in, smtpserver/Makefile.in,
transports/mailbox/Makefile.in, transports/sm/Makefile.in,
transports/smtp/Makefile.in, utils/makendbm/Makefile.in,
support/utils/Makefile.in:
Autoconfigure MAILBIN= -entry (for installing)
* utils/makendbm/makendbm.c:
Corrections for BSD DB B-tree database parametrization.
* proto/cf/aliases.c:
Instead of using memory-hog script of (listaddresses ...),
do use the builtin (listexpand ...) routine.
* proto/cf/rrouter.cf:
Do "ssift/in/tfiss" test on $address.
* proto/smtpserver.conf, smtpserver/smtpserver.c,
smtpserver/Makefile.in, smtpserver/relaytest.c,
smtpserver/relaytest.h:
- On STREAMs machines accept several rather mystic error
states for accept() -- with a shrug.. No need to exit(1)
on such things as ENOSR, or EPROTO (No STREAMS Resources,
Error on STREAMS PROTOcol, ...)
- Don't log to console ( openlog( ... LOG_CONS ... ) )
- Accept any input - any at all - for the HELO parameter.
Be a bit more picky with EHLO...
- Relay-control facility -- to whom we accept email to
(must be out customer, or the sender is our customer)
- Introduce new "PARAM" tokens -- several of them:
- "help" - string for the HELP-response main-text,
up to 20 lines
- "maxsize" - max-size we accept
- "reject-percent-kludge" - flag
- "accept-percent-kludge" - ditto
- "relaytargets" - db-file definition
- "relaycustnets" - ditto the rest
- "rejectnets"
- "rejectsource"
- "rejecttarget"
* router/libdb/bsdtree.c, router/libdb/gdbm.c, router/libdb/ndbm.c,
router/libdb/unordered.c:
Modification test trips when the open file has link-count of
ZERO -- somebody mv(1)ed a new database on top of the old one!
* scheduler/msgerror.c:
- An armour against WTT being NUL (upgradeing something?)
- Recognizing a situation where we are sending an error
report on error report -- marking that with altered subject
* scheduler/scheduler.c, scheduler/threads.c:
Improve the freeze-out mode, it was able to spawn kids
in the freeze-out mode, though it did not feed them.
* scheduler/transport.c:
Alter mailq() printout fork ending to be _exit(0)
* transports/errormail/errormail.c:
Use the 'host' parameter if one is supplied. Always
pass it to the diagnostics subroutines.
* transports/mailbox/mailbox.c:
- Fix processing the "lastchar" things.
- append_header() without extra "\n"
* transports/sm/sm.c:
- append_header() without extra "\n"
* transports/smtp/smtp.c:
New options:
-F punthost -- Send all mail to denoted host
-L localname -- At multi-homed machine, bind() to named
interface before doing connect()
Tue Dec 3 19:17:28 1996 Matti Aarnio <mea@mea.tmt.tele.fi>
* smtpserver/smtpserver.c:
Missing a couple of fflush()es -- moved the EXPN and
VRFY routines into separate subroutines. Now have
ONE fflush() after each of the calls.
Mon Dec 2 18:38:09 1996 Matti Aarnio <mea@mea.tmt.tele.fi>
* utils/makendbm/makendbm.c:
Yet another parameter error in case the system can do
both NDBM and BTREE -- autch!
* smtpserver/smtpserver.c:
Be silent about log-files when started up as
"/usr/lib/sendmail -bs" by somebody who can not
write into the default log files.
