- Gentlemen and -women, it does indeed exist!
-
- Please welcome the IDA Sendmail Enhancement Kit v1.2 for sendmail 5.59
- with MX and Yellow Pages support. It has tonight been made available on
- Arisia.Xerox.COM in ~ftp/pub1/ida.tar.Z (available via anonymous ftp)
- and will be sent to comp.sources.unix shortly.
-
- The major change is that of Yellow Pages support, but others include dbm
- file update locking, setting classes from programs (eg. FU|uuname),
- delayed macro evaluation (from the net), rfc822 quoted macro expansion,
- address rewriting loop detection and an extra compile-time frozen file
- check; the latter ones contributed by Guy Middleton @ Waterloo.
-
- There has also been some bug fixes and slight improvements on the IDA
- configuration file and associated files.
-
- All the old enhancements still apply, with the exception of BSD2.9 and
- 4.2 support, although it will compile and run under SunOS 3.x given that
- you have bind 4.8 as well.
-
- For those of you who haven't heard of this before, the IDA Enhancement
- Kit is a set of changes to the standard Berkeley mailer which implements
- the following features:
-
- o Nameserver Default Argument
- o Direct Access to Dbm(3) Files
- o Batched SMTP Support
- o Separate Envelope/Header Rewriting Rulesets
- o Separate Local UUCP Host Name
- o Return Path for UUCP Mailers
- o UUCP Header Address Relativization
- o Support for Multi-Token Matches
- o Support for Embedded Subruleset Calls
- o Elaborate Matching Algorithm for Unknown Local Recipients
- o Support for Maryland's Mdbm Package
- o Improved Test Mode Output
- o Better To: and Cc: Headers of Returned Messages
-
- It also comes with the IDA Configuration Kit, which has pathalias based
- systems routing within sendmail, fully !-/@-translating rulesets,
- generic localuser addresses, and more.
-
- Enjoy!
