- Patches removed that are now in the distribution
- More MILTER dokumentation
- sm-client.sh.sample have now 'restart' command.
- Add standalone startupscript for all sendmail deamons
- Update pkg-message
This version fixes a long-standing MIME (7 to 8-bit) conversion bug
and several smaller problems, e.g., a possible communication problem
between the MTA and libmilter, a bug in handling (invalid) addresses
containing 8-bit characters, a possible problem with small timeouts
being lost on slow machines if itimers are used, and the handling of
the 421 reply code and timeouts in the SMTP delivery code. There are
two changes in the msp feature that may change the behavior: MX lookups
are turned on for the SMTP mailers and hence `[localhost]' is used as
default instead of `localhost', and confTIME_ZONE is set to USE_TZ in
submit.mc. A complete list of changes can be found in the release notes.
by using an rc.d script to launch Exim, as was done before I took over
this port.
This seems to be the most popular approach, and is arguably the
simplest. Folks like me who attach some aesthetic value to using rc(8)
and mailer.conf(8) to launch Exim at startup time should know enough to
blow away the rc.d script and do things any way they please.
For now, use two versions of the POST-INSTALL-NOTES, the only
difference being that the one given to -CURRENT users suggests setting
sendmail_enable to 'NONE', while the one for -STABLE users suggests
'NO'.
When the databases/postgresql7 port was updated from postgresql-7.1.x to
postgresql-7.2, libpq-fe.h moved from PREFIX/include/pgsql to
PREFIX/include for reasons I can't figure out.
This applies a band-aid until I can get clarification from the postgresql
port maintainer <girgen@partitur.se>, but I think the port might be
"broken" in its placement of some header files.

if you have some sendmail compiled with LDAP support the
configure fails because -ldap -llber are not used in the
sm_snprintf test.

2048 characters is sent to the qpopper process, a denial of service
condition will occur"
Actually, this is caused by an incorrect assumption. qpopper uses
the same buffer over and over when communicating. However, it never
makes sure that the buffer has been updated if something goes wrong.
Therefore, one can try to add to this buffer over and over; thus,
consuming available resources.
Solution, do not follow unofficial patch available in bugtraq mailing
list since losing pointer references is not an option. Otherwise,
change the way both getline and tgetline functions work. Just so
that they resemble read(2) return codes as follows:
1) if < 0 problem
2) if >= 0 user typed something (enter without anything else is
something)

since version 8.12.1 (8.12.0 ?) sendmail complains if a program piping
data to it doesn't have stdin, stdout and stderr opened; smtpfwdd
doesn't open stdout and stderr when forwarding a mail to sendmail,
therefore an anoying system messages is generated for each incoming mail:
