Known Critical Problems/Required Enhancements:
** It's POSSIBLE (but I can't prove it) that there are still buffer
management problems in 1.3. The *.au guys are still reporting problems
that look like it, but the problems are intermittent and non-reproducible.
Bugs, but not critical:
** SMTPpost detects mail loops, but doesn't do anything but log a message on
the problem.
** SMTPd doesn't update the mail identifier. Its always AA01.
** SMTPd/SMTPpost don't recognize alternate hostnames as being local. That
is, alternates as defined in inet:db/hosts (or the equivalent for AmiTCP).
** ReturnToSender() isn't done as often as it should be. For:
invalid users (by result from Checkuser)
invalid users (by screwy characters in name)
timeouts (7 days in queue, or whatever)
** SMTPpost doesn't know Return-Receipt-To:
** Queueing problems.
Enhancements:
** Queueing NNTPpost (part of NNTPd?).
** Use syslog() for all SMTP commands.
** Different debug levels
** Allow multiple SMTPposts to be active at a time (as started from SMTPd)
** Have SMTPd re-scan the spool after an incoming connection closes.
** Add support for MailPaths file to NNTPpost
** Track crossposts in NNTPXfer.
my newsreader does - it caches article id's, and throws out any
articles it's seen before when it first scans a newsgroup. Same idea -
you'd get duplicates of crossposted articles that arrived between
scanning the first group posted to in active and any later ones, but
that's it. Doing frequent nntpxfers would cut down on that, even.
