- The IDA Sendmail Enhancement Kit was finally sent off to Rich Salz of
- comp.sources.unix today. He still has problems receiving sources for
- the newsgroup after his relocation, but I'm afraid I couldn't wait any
- longer. At the end of this week, I'm off for a new job in another
- country. I hope it won't take too long for the Kit to appear in the
- newsgroup. For those of you who have ARPANET access and don't want to
- wait, thanks to Dorab Patel of UCLA there is a copy on the host
- ulysses.cs.ucla.edu [128.97.2.19] in the file ~ftp/pub/ida.tar.Z
- available for anonymous FTP. If anyone is really desperate, I can
- probably send copy by mail too (330 Kbyte in 7 shars). But you will
- have to react quickly then...
-
- The Kit includes a set of source code modifications to the BSD 4.3
- sendmail program (version 5.11). The changes will enable sendmail to
- have direct access to dbm(3) files, separate envelope/header rewriting
- rulesets, and multi-token class matches among other things.
-
- As a separate part of the Kit is the IDA Sendmail Master Configuration
- file and a sample setup used at the CIS Dept, U of Linkoping. The
- configuration file together with the supplied data files and utility
- programs, implement such nice features as pathalias based systems
- routing within sendmail, fully !-/@-translating rulesets, and generic
- local user addresses.
-
- The new sendmail functions are breifly listed below and further
- described in the accompanying paper, which in addition discusses
- electronic mail addressing in general and hybrid addresses in
- particular.
-
- Nameserver Default Argument
- Direct Access to Dbm(3) Files
- Batched SMTP Support
- Separate Envelope/Header Rewriting Rulesets
- Separate Local UUCP Host Name
- Return Path for UUCP Mailers
- UUCP Header Address Relativization
- Support for Multi-Token Matches
- Support for Embedded Subruleset Calls
- Elaborate Matching Algorithm for Unknown Local Recipients
- Support for Maryland's Mdbm Package
- Improved Test Mode Output
- Better To: and Cc: Headers of Returned Messages
- Queue Bug Fixed
- Shared Input SMTP Bug Tentatively Fixed
- Optional BSD 2.9 and 4.2 Compatibility Code
- & Miscellaneous Changes
-
- Enjoy!
