1(Version 8.16 of 01/15/94) 2 3Key: 4 X -- extension (user visible change) 5 B -- bug fix 6 S -- security fix 7 E -- enhancement to existing algorithm 8 9X **** 8 -> 7 bit MIME conversion. 10 11E **** Change NoReturn to be an envelope flag. [8.7] 12 13X **** Add M_NOLOOPBACKCHK (k) mailer flag to turn off check of name in 14 HELO command. [8.8] 15 16X **** Merge Sun changes. [8.7] 17 18X **** Macro giving size of the message in bytes. 19 20X **** Create a "service switch" abstraction that will interface with 21 Sun NSS, Ultrix /etc/svc.conf, etc. This will allow you to 22 turn off DNS entirely, a la ``OIoff''. [8.7] 23 24X **** Should have new mailer flags to override LocalMailer stuff: 25 - M_ALIASABLE (A) -- can use as the LHS of an alias. 26 - M_HASPWENT (w) -- should have a /etc/passwd entry. If not found 27 there, implies user unknown. Also implies .forward and UDB 28 searching, search for |, /, and :include:, etc.). 29 - Actually, UDB searching and |, /, and :include: mapping should 30 probably be on another flag. (Cannot be 'l' for back compat 31 reasons.) 32 - Need for $@host part of triple and Return-Receipt-To: processing 33 should also be split apart. 34 [8.8] 35 36X **** Mailer flag to override MX lookups. 37 38E **** Fix parseaddr to return a dummy mailer with QBADADDR set for 39 all cases except null input; change calls to be more sceptical 40 about the return value, checking this bit instead of just 41 checking for == NULL. (Eric Wassenaar) [8.7] 42 43X **** Run time configurable locking -- e.g., compile in HASFLOCK and 44 HASLOCKF, and then choose at runtime between these. 45 46B **** Aliases with .REDIRECT fail during newaliases if the "n" flag 47 is given. Problem is, sometimes you want them to, sometimes 48 you don't. Perhaps two flavors of "error" mailer? 49 50B **** Calls to gethostbyname with a trailing dot fail if you are 51 not running DNS. 52 53E **** Move delivery forking from sendenvelope to sendall so that 54 the connection cache works between split envelopes, and to 55 avoid a flurry of processes should you be sending to lots of 56 sub-lists. 57 58X **** Add uucp-bang mailer that strips off any domain name from 59 the envelope recipient address first; this is for use in 60 mailer table entries. 61 62X **** "quote" map (inverse of dequote). Lets you turn node::user 63 into "node::user"@DECNET.gateway 64 65X **** Named rulesets. 66 67X *** Total connection cache lifespan timeout -- a way to give a 68 timeout on connections regardless of whether they are active 69 or not. For single threaded servers such as Microsoft SMTP 70 gateway. Douglas Anderson <dlander@afterlife.ncsc.mil>. 71 72X *** Mailer flag that does a "ping" equivalent -- if it fails, wait 73 30 seconds and try again (for dialup PPP connections). Could 74 just try the connection and then immediately retry on some 75 kinds of failures. 76 77X *** Create a macro that has message size. 78 Peter Wemm <peter@DIALix.oz.au> 79 80E *** Dynamically allocate MAXNAME buffers for headers. 81 82E *** Dynamically allocate "line" buffer in readaliases(). 83 84X *** Add ability to disable Return-Receipt-To: on a privacy flag. [8.8] 85 86X *** Add -P to set precedence (e.g., -Pbulk). [8.8] (BCX) 87 88X *** Runtime option to enable/disable IDENT protocol. 89 90E *** Don't send ErrMsgFile to postmaster bounces. (Josh Smith, 91 josh@osiris.ac.hmc.edu). 92 93X *** Add "user" map to look up a user name via getpwnam -- so that 94 non-local names can be forwarded to another site. [8.8] 95 96E *** Have daemons that start up check the alias database for 97 correctness and auto-rebuild if necessary. This is to handle 98 the case of a system crash during an alias database rebuild. 99 100E *** Eliminate E qf line and e_errorqueue; use e_errorsto a la 101 e_receiptto. This simplifies and gives symmetry. (Eric 102 Wassenaar) 103 104B *** Fix syslog buffer overflow problems. 105 106X *** DECNET_RELAY support in configs. 107 108X *** -wN command line flag to set the width of mailq output. 109 (Allan Johannesen) 110 111E ** Make "local configuration error" a temporary failure? 112 (add EX_CONFIG to the markfailure list) 113 114X ** (sigh) BSMTP. 115 116X ** "E" configuration line that sets environment variables. 117 118E ** Change listen() high-load backoff to accept and issue a 4xx 119 message so that it responds more quickly. 120 121E ** Change "/usr/tmp/dead.letter" to be based on _PATH_VARTMP. 122 123B ** Commas in NAME envariable cause problems (Peter Wan 124 <peter@cc.gatech.edu>). Merge with suggestions to use 125 MIME-format for 8-bit characters? 126 127E ** Save address information that comes back as the "additional 128 records" part of an MX lookup, to avoid additional name server 129 attempts. If there is an MX record without an additional A 130 record, delete it (this avoids a problem with misconfigured 131 DNS situations). 132 133X ** Allow a way to extend the $Z macro with local configuration 134 information. 135 136X ** Allow $x in -bt mode to expand macro "x". (BCX) [8.8] 137 138X ** Allow /address in -bt mode to expand address through ruleset 0, 139 aliases, etc. and display results. [8.8] 140 141X ** "R mailer address" in -bt mode does remotename on address. 142 143E ** Adjust "infinite loop in rule" code to handle entire ruleset 144 (Code from Michael Corrigan). 145 146E ** Allow :include: from command line (not SMTP) to assist in 147 "personal list" management -- i.e., creating lists that 148 cannot be EXPNed. 149 150X ** Database (keyed lookup) auto-rebuild. 151 152X ** Find a good test suite and include in the distribution. 153 154S ** You can use symbolic links to point into protected directories. 155 (AEJ) 156 157X ** Extend OI to allow separate settings for canonification, MX, and A 158 lookups. [8.8?] 159 160X ** Add $!x class to match any number of words not in class x. (KRE) 161 162X ** LOCAL_RULE_5 (Spencer Sun, spencer@phoenix.Princeton.EDU) 163 164X ** Add "bestmx" map -- returns "best MX host" for this address. 165 Allows you to do automatic detection of when you are the best 166 MX for a given address. [8.7?] 167 168X ** Some way to diddle resolver flags on a per-lookup basis, such 169 as a flag to the map declaration. (Rick McCarty) 170 - Is this really a good idea? DNSRCH can be turned off by 171 putting a dot at the end. AAONLY? 172 173X ** Extend makemap to "gather" values -- i.e., merge entries that 174 have the same keys. [8.8] (BCX) 175 176E ** Allow error messages on individual addresses in the qf file. 177 (BCX) 178 179X ** Multi-character option names. [9.1] 180 181X ** User database extensions for mailing lists: 182 list:precedence -- Precedence: value for new message 183 list:envelopefrom -- envelope "from" value for new message 184 others? [8.8] 185 186X ** Command line switch to set precedence (for mailing list 187 generation). (BCX) 188 189B ** Restore `T' line to eliminate X-Authentication-Warning: at 190 inappropriate times. (Christophe Wolfhugel) 191 - T could become a shorthand for Ct -- i.e., create a new 192 predefined class. 193 - Eliminate "<user> set sender to <address>" message entirely? 194 (this is the workaround) 195 196B ** Return-Path: header should have <> added if not already there. 197 198X ** Add heuristic to determine if other end is a sendmail; use 199 that to decide whether or not to honor F=I mailer flag. 200 [der Mouse <mouse@collatz.mcrcim.mcgill.edu>] 201 202X ** Automatically drop into MIME mode if you have a full name 203 with 8-bit characters. See envelope.c 8.19.1.1 and util.c 204 8.17.1.1. From Anders Ellefsrud <anders@ifi.uio.no>. 205 206X ** -b? flag to read a header and show you what it will look like 207 after all rewriting for an indicated address. 208 209E ** Log $u in logsender() (for=<someaddress>). 210 211B ** Include SOCKADDR in MCI struct for logging (currently gives 212 a sockaddr of zero when printing from the cache). 213 214X * Allow $> anywhere in RHS. John Boeske <jboeske@ualberta.ca>. 215 216X * -V flag to print state of all (?) compilation flags. 217 218X * Handle Expires: header field (if still in queue). 219 220X * WIN/3B support (non-atomic rename, no h_addr_list, others?) 221 (Bruce Lilly <blilly!bruce@uu.psi.com>) 222 223X * Sun YBTS daemon uses -ba. [Martin Kiff <MGK@newton.npl.co.uk>] 224 225B * EXPN adds @domain to all mailers, including prog. Is this right? 226 [Bob Henry] 227 228B * EXPN adds @localhost instead of @$M. [Pel Emanuelsson] 229 230E * Change body put code to time out around individual puts. This will 231 make the timeout algorithm more responsive and more resilient. 232 Unfortunately, it's also a pain in the butt. 233 234X * Some way to relay unfound local users to another site. 235 236X * Disable all default RW sets except mailer-specific? 237
