8.11.1/8.11.1 2000/09/27
Fix SMTP EXPN command output if the address expands to a single
name. Fix from John Beck of Sun Microsystems.
Don't try STARTTLS in the client if the PRNG has not been properly
seeded. This problem only occurs on systems without
/dev/urandom. Problem detected by Jan Krueger of
digitalanswers communications consulting gmbh and
Neil Rickert of Northern Illinois University.
Don't use the . and .. directories when expanding QueueDirectory
wildcards.
Do not try to cache LDAP connections across processes as a parent
process may close the connection before the child process
has completed. Problem noted by Lai Yiu Fai of the Hong
Kong University of Science and Technology and Wolfgang
Hottgenroth of UUNET.
Use Timeout.fileopen to limit the amount of time spent trying to
read the LDAP secret from a file.
Prevent SIGTERM from removing a command line submitted item after
the user submits the message and before the first delivery
attempt completes. Problem noted by Max France of AlphaNet.
Fix from Neil Rickert of Northern Illinois University.
Deal correctly with MaxMessageSize restriction if message size is
greater than 2^31.
Turn off queue checkpointing if CheckpointInterval is set to zero.
Treat an empty home directory (from getpw*() or $HOME) as
non-existent instead of treating it as /. Problem noted by
Todd C. Miller of Courtesan Consulting.
Don't drop duplicate headers when reading a queued item. Problem
noted by Motonori Nakamura of Kyoto University.
Avoid bogus error text when logging the savemail panic "cannot
save rejected email anywhere". Problem noted by Marc G.
Fournier of Acadia University.
If an LDAP search fails because the LDAP server went down, close
the map so subsequent searches reopen the map. If there are
multiple LDAP servers, the down server will be skipped and
one of the others may be able to take over.
Set the ${load_avg} macro to the current load average, not the
previous load average query result.
If a non-optional map used in a check_* ruleset can't be opened,
return a temporary failure to the remote SMTP client
instead of ignoring the map. Problem noted by Allan E
Johannesen of Worcester Polytechnic Institute.
Avoid a race condition when queuing up split envelopes by saving
the split envelopes before the original envelope.
Fix a bug in the PH_MAP code which caused mail to bounce instead of
defer if the PH server could not be contacted. From Mark
Roth of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
Prevent QueueSortOrder=Filename from interfering with -qR, -qS, and
ETRN. Problem noted by Erik R. Leo of SoVerNet.
Change error code for unrecognized parameters to the SMTP MAIL and
RCPT commands from 501 to 555 per RFC 1869. Problem
reported to Postfix by Robert Norris of Monash University.
Prevent overwriting the argument of -B on certain OS. Problem
noted by Matteo Gelosa of I.NET S.p.A.
Use the proper routine for freeing memory with Netscape's LDAP
client libraries. Patch from Paul Hilchey of the
University of British Columbia.
Portability:
Move the NETINET6 define to devtools/OS/SunOS.5.{8,9}
instead of defining it in conf.h so users can
override the setting. Suggested by
Henrik Nordstrom of Ericsson.
On HP-UX 10.X and 11.X, use /usr/sbin/sendmail instead of
/usr/lib/sendmail for rmail and vacation. From
Jeff A. Earickson of Colby College.
On HP-UX 11.X, use /usr/sbin instead of /usr/libexec (which
does not exist). From Jeff A. Earickson of Colby
College.
Avoid using the UCB subsystem on NCR MP-RAS 3.x. From
Tom Moore of NCR.
NeXT 3.X and 4.X installs man pages in /usr/man. From
Hisanori Gogota of NTT/InterCommunicationCenter.
Solaris 8 and later include /var/run. The default PID file
location is now /var/run/sendmail.pid. From John
Beck of Sun Microsystems.
SFIO includes snprintf() for those operating systems
which do not. From Todd C. Miller of Courtesan
Consulting.
CONFIG: Use the result of _CERT_REGEX_SUBJECT_ not {cert_subject}.
Problem noted by Kaspar Brand of futureLab AG.
CONFIG: Change 553 SMTP reply code to 501 to avoid problems with
errors in the MAIL address.
CONFIG: Fix FEATURE(nouucp) usage in example .mc files. Problem
noted by Ron Jarrell of Virginia Tech.
CONFIG: Add support for Solaris 8 (and later) as OSTYPE(solaris8).
Contributed by John Beck of Sun Microsystems.
CONFIG: Set confFROM_HEADER such that the mail hub can possibly add
GECOS information for an address. This more closely
matches pre-8.10 nullclient behavior. From Per Hedeland of
Ericsson.
CONFIG: Fix MODIFY_MAILER_FLAGS(): apply the flag modifications for
SMTP to all *smtp* mailers and those for RELAY to the relay
mailer as described in cf/README.
MAIL.LOCAL: Open the mailbox as the recipient not root so quotas
are obeyed. Problem noted by Damian Kuczynski of NIK.
MAKEMAP: Do not change a map's owner to the TrustedUser if using
makemap to 'unmake' the map.
RMAIL: Avoid overflowing the list of recipients being passed to
sendmail.
RMAIL: Invoke sendmail with '-G' to indicate this is a gateway
submission. Problem noted by Kari Hurtta of the Finnish
Meteorological Institute.
VACATION: Read the complete message to avoid "broken pipe" signals.
VACATION: Do not cut off vacation.msg files which have a single
dot as the only character on the line.
