1(Version 4.1 of 7/25/83)
2
3-- get rid of MAXMAILERS, just allocate them as you go; merge the stats
4	structure in with the MAILERS structure; change the longs in
5	said structure into u_longs; print the file in ASCII, lock the
6	file before reading/printing.
7
8-- clean up sysexits; get rid of EX_BASE, most of sysexits.c is duplicated
9	in deliver.c
10
11-- mailq; split it out, by default, just # of messages, also add sort
12	by machine?
13
14-- flag so that if it has to forward mail it returns a note giving the
15	relay address?
16
17 ******	Finish properly implementing SMTP:
18	- check correct name in HELO exchange (?)
19
20  ***** Add an accounting package.  [acct.c]
21
22  *****	When processing the queue, batch messages on the basis of
23	receiving host rather than message -- so that if connections
24	are expensive to complete, we get the most for our money.
25	Unfortunately, this is a major change, and will probably
26	wait for the next version.
27
28   ****	Put in some more performance hooks.
29
30    *** Integrate a null name server for future hackers.  [names.c]
31
32    *** Have "Operating System Error" give more info (e.g.,
33	"cannot fork").  [It really seems like this is ok now -- but
34	this is an old delivermail gripe -- check it out more?]
35
36     ** Per-mailer timeouts.  Invalidates old .cf files.
37
38     ** Be able to generate a "response" (edit headers, etc.)
39	given a message to respond to.
40
41      * Have VRFY act as a limited name server (?).
42
43      * Implement SEND and related commands in SMTP.
44
45      * Extend full name matching.  This should actually be done in a
46	complete name server.  Should the name server be integrated
47	into sendmail (via a portal?) or should I "assume" that it
48	has been called by the time I am called?
