1(Version 8.25 of 07/23/94) 2 3Key: 4 X -- extension (user visible change) 5 B -- bug fix 6 S -- security fix 7 E -- enhancement to existing algorithm 8 9 10X **** Merge Sun changes. [8.7] 11 12X **** Macro giving size of the message in bytes. 13 14X **** Create a "service switch" abstraction that will interface with 15 Sun NSS, Ultrix /etc/svc.conf, etc. This will allow you to 16 turn off DNS entirely, a la ``OIoff''. [8.7] 17 18X **** Mailer flag to enable/disable surrounding route-addrs with 19 angle brackets in setsender(). UUCP cleanup scripts treat 20 these as file redirection. 21 22E **** Fix parseaddr to return a dummy mailer with QBADADDR set for 23 all cases except null input; change calls to be more sceptical 24 about the return value, checking this bit instead of just 25 checking for == NULL. (Eric Wassenaar) [8.7] 26 27X **** Run time configurable locking -- e.g., compile in HASFLOCK and 28 HASLOCKF, and then choose at runtime between these. 29 30B **** Aliases with .REDIRECT fail during newaliases if the "n" flag 31 is given. Problem is, sometimes you want them to, sometimes 32 you don't. Perhaps two flavors of "error" mailer? 33 34B **** Calls to gethostbyname with a trailing dot fail if you are 35 not running DNS. 36 37E **** Move delivery forking from sendenvelope to sendall so that 38 the connection cache works between split envelopes, and to 39 avoid a flurry of processes should you be sending to lots of 40 sub-lists. 41 42X **** Add uucp-bang mailer that strips off any domain name from 43 the envelope recipient address first; this is for use in 44 mailer table entries. 45 46X **** "quote" map (inverse of dequote). Lets you turn node::user 47 into "node::user"@DECNET.gateway 48 49X **** Named rulesets. 50 51? **** Should $( [1.2.3.4] $) convert the address to a name? 52 53X **** Add smrsh to release. 54 55E *** Arrange to run queue jobs as the owner of that queue file. This 56 probably requires forcing a fork in order to be able to completely 57 restore the uid/gid portably without leaking out root privileges. 58 59E *** Long term host status -- store host status on disk for sharing 60 between runs. 61 62X *** Extend I option to allow setting of retry and timeout values. 63 drl@vuse.vanderbilt.edu (David R. Linn). 64 65X *** Total connection cache lifespan timeout -- a way to give a 66 timeout on connections regardless of whether they are active 67 or not. For single threaded servers such as Microsoft SMTP 68 gateway. Douglas Anderson <dlander@afterlife.ncsc.mil>. 69 70X *** Mailer flag that does a "ping" equivalent -- if it fails, wait 71 30 seconds and try again (for dialup PPP connections). Could 72 just try the connection and then immediately retry on some 73 kinds of failures. 74 75X *** Create a macro that has message size. 76 Peter Wemm <peter@DIALix.oz.au> 77 78E *** Dynamically allocate MAXNAME buffers for headers. 79 80E *** Dynamically allocate "line" buffer in readaliases(). 81 82X *** Add ability to disable Return-Receipt-To: on a privacy flag. [8.8] 83 84X *** Add -P to set precedence (e.g., -Pbulk). [8.8] (BCX) 85 86X *** Runtime option to enable/disable IDENT protocol. 87 88E *** Don't send ErrMsgFile to postmaster bounces. (Josh Smith, 89 josh@osiris.ac.hmc.edu). 90 91X *** Add "user" map to look up a user name via getpwnam -- so that 92 non-local names can be forwarded to another site. [8.8] 93 94E *** Have daemons that start up check the alias database for 95 correctness and auto-rebuild if necessary. This is to handle 96 the case of a system crash during an alias database rebuild. 97 98E *** Eliminate E qf line and e_errorqueue; use e_errorsto a la 99 e_receiptto. This simplifies and gives symmetry. (Eric 100 Wassenaar) 101 102X *** DECNET_RELAY support in configs. 103 104X *** -wN command line flag to set the width of mailq output. 105 (Allan Johannesen) 106 107E *** Move mailertable lookup after UUCP-specific class checks? 108 (Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>) 109 110E *** Users in more than one list with different owners get duplicate 111 deliveries -- maybe just assign them arbitrarily to one 112 envelope or the other? 113 114X ** Make MAXBADCOMMANDS run time configurable. 115 116E ** Allow mailertable entries of the form ``error:message''. 117 118X ** Have .forward files re-queue if the home directory isn't 119 accessible? On some option... 120 (Q.G.Campbell@newcastle.ac.uk) 121 122X ** Have local delivery queue if NIS is down? On some option... 123 (Q.G.Campbell@newcastle.ac.uk) 124 125E ** Have nullclient configuration resolve local names to the local 126 mailer and then redirect them in ruleset 5; this allows you to 127 redirect root differently depending on the client. It's not 128 clear this is really a good idea though. 129 130E ** Move CurHostAddr into mci struct, and make CurMCI variable 131 point to this, so that logging will give the correct address 132 instead of (0) for cached connections. Motonori Nakamura. 133 134X ** Allow use of a generalized network service for aliasing? 135 How would the protocol be defined? 136 James Gritton <gritton@byu.edu>. 137 138E ** Make "local configuration error" a temporary failure? 139 (add EX_CONFIG to the markfailure list) 140 141X ** (sigh) BSMTP. 142 143X ** "E" configuration line that sets environment variables. 144 145E ** Change listen() high-load backoff to accept and issue a 4xx 146 message so that it responds more quickly. 147 148E ** Change "/usr/tmp/dead.letter" to be based on _PATH_VARTMP. 149 150B ** Commas in NAME envariable cause problems (Peter Wan 151 <peter@cc.gatech.edu>). Merge with suggestions to use 152 MIME-format for 8-bit characters? 153 154E ** Save address information that comes back as the "additional 155 records" part of an MX lookup, to avoid additional name server 156 attempts. If there is an MX record without an additional A 157 record, delete it (this avoids a problem with misconfigured 158 DNS situations). 159 160X ** Allow a way to extend the $Z macro with local configuration 161 information. 162 163X ** Allow $x in -bt mode to expand macro "x". (BCX) [8.8] 164 165X ** Allow /address in -bt mode to expand address through ruleset 0, 166 aliases, etc. and display results. [8.8] 167 168X ** "R mailer address" in -bt mode does remotename on address. 169 170E ** Adjust "infinite loop in rule" code to handle entire ruleset 171 (Code from Michael Corrigan). 172 173E ** Allow :include: from command line (not SMTP) to assist in 174 "personal list" management -- i.e., creating lists that 175 cannot be EXPNed. 176 177X ** Database (keyed lookup) auto-rebuild. 178 179X ** Find a good test suite and include in the distribution. 180 181S ** You can use symbolic links to point into protected directories. 182 (AEJ) 183 184X ** Extend OI to allow separate settings for canonification, MX, and A 185 lookups. [8.8?] 186 187X ** Add $!x class to match any number of words not in class x. (KRE) 188 189X ** LOCAL_RULE_5 (Spencer Sun, spencer@phoenix.Princeton.EDU) 190 191X ** Add "bestmx" map -- returns "best MX host" for this address. 192 Allows you to do automatic detection of when you are the best 193 MX for a given address. [8.7?] 194 195X ** Some way to diddle resolver flags on a per-lookup basis, such 196 as a flag to the map declaration. (Rick McCarty) 197 - Is this really a good idea? DNSRCH can be turned off by 198 putting a dot at the end. AAONLY? 199 200X ** Extend makemap to "gather" values -- i.e., merge entries that 201 have the same keys. [8.8] (BCX) 202 203E ** Allow error messages on individual addresses in the qf file. 204 (BCX) 205 206X ** Multi-character option names. [9.1] 207 208X ** User database extensions for mailing lists: 209 list:precedence -- Precedence: value for new message 210 list:envelopefrom -- envelope "from" value for new message 211 others? [8.8] 212 213X ** Command line switch to set precedence (for mailing list 214 generation). (BCX) 215 216B ** Restore `T' line to eliminate X-Authentication-Warning: at 217 inappropriate times. (Christophe Wolfhugel) 218 - T could become a shorthand for Ct -- i.e., create a new 219 predefined class. 220 - Eliminate "<user> set sender to <address>" message entirely? 221 (this is the workaround) 222 223B ** Return-Path: header should have <> added if not already there. 224 225X ** Add heuristic to determine if other end is a sendmail; use 226 that to decide whether or not to honor F=I mailer flag. 227 [der Mouse <mouse@collatz.mcrcim.mcgill.edu>] 228 229X ** Automatically drop into MIME mode if you have a full name 230 with 8-bit characters. See envelope.c 8.19.1.1 and util.c 231 8.17.1.1. From Anders Ellefsrud <anders@ifi.uio.no>. 232 233X ** -b? flag to read a header and show you what it will look like 234 after all rewriting for an indicated address. 235 236E ** Log $u in logsender() (for=<someaddress>). 237 238B ** Include SOCKADDR in MCI struct for logging (currently gives 239 a sockaddr of zero when printing from the cache). 240 241X ** Allow option to set the characters that are autoquoted in 242 addresses? 243 244X * Map that does MB/MR lookups. Rick McCarty <mccarty@io.com>. 245 246X * Allow $> anywhere in RHS. John Boeske <jboeske@ualberta.ca>. 247 248X * -V flag to print state of all (?) compilation flags. 249 250X * Handle Expires: header field (if still in queue). 251 252X * WIN/3B support (non-atomic rename, no h_addr_list, others?) 253 (Bruce Lilly <blilly!bruce@uu.psi.com>) 254 255X * Sun YBTS daemon uses -ba. [Martin Kiff <MGK@newton.npl.co.uk>] 256 257B * EXPN adds @domain to all mailers, including prog. Is this right? 258 [Bob Henry] 259 260B * EXPN adds @localhost instead of @$M. [Pel Emanuelsson] 261 262E * Change body put code to time out around individual puts. This will 263 make the timeout algorithm more responsive and more resilient. 264 Unfortunately, it's also a pain in the butt. 265 266X * Some way to relay unfound local users to another site. 267 268X * Disable all default RW sets except mailer-specific? 269
