1(Version 8.32 of 02/20/95) 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 **** Multiple queues. 11 12X **** Merge Sun changes. [8.7] 13 14E **** Fix parseaddr to return a dummy mailer with QBADADDR set for 15 all cases except null input; change calls to be more sceptical 16 about the return value, checking this bit instead of just 17 checking for == NULL. (Eric Wassenaar) [8.7] 18 19X **** Run time configurable locking -- e.g., compile in HASFLOCK and 20 HASLOCKF, and then choose at runtime between these. 21 22B **** Aliases with .REDIRECT fail during newaliases if the "n" flag 23 is given. Problem is, sometimes you want them to, sometimes 24 you don't. Perhaps two flavors of "error" mailer? 25 26B **** Calls to gethostbyname with a trailing dot fail if you are 27 not running DNS. 28 29X **** Add uucp-bang mailer that strips off any domain name from 30 the envelope recipient address first; this is for use in 31 mailer table entries. 32 33X **** "quote" map (inverse of dequote). Lets you turn node::user 34 into "node::user"@DECNET.gateway 35 36? **** Should $( [1.2.3.4] $) convert the address to a name? 37 38E *** Have recipient lines rewritten by the user database. 39 40E *** Arrange to run queue jobs as the owner of that queue file. This 41 probably requires forcing a fork in order to be able to completely 42 restore the uid/gid portably without leaking out root privileges. 43 44E *** Long term host status -- store host status on disk for sharing 45 between runs. 46 47X *** Extend I option to allow setting of retry and timeout values. 48 drl@vuse.vanderbilt.edu (David R. Linn). 49 50X *** Total connection cache lifespan timeout -- a way to give a 51 timeout on connections regardless of whether they are active 52 or not. For single threaded servers such as Microsoft SMTP 53 gateway. Douglas Anderson <dlander@afterlife.ncsc.mil>. 54 55X *** Create a macro that has message size. 56 Peter Wemm <peter@DIALix.oz.au> 57 58E *** Dynamically allocate MAXNAME buffers for headers. 59 60E *** Dynamically allocate "line" buffer in readaliases(). 61 62X *** Add -P to set precedence (e.g., -Pbulk). [8.8] (BCX) 63 64E *** Don't send ErrMsgFile to postmaster bounces. (Josh Smith, 65 josh@osiris.ac.hmc.edu). 66 67E *** Have daemons that start up check the alias database for 68 correctness and auto-rebuild if necessary. This is to handle 69 the case of a system crash during an alias database rebuild. 70 71E *** Eliminate E qf line and e_errorqueue; use e_errorsto a la 72 e_receiptto. This simplifies and gives symmetry. (Eric 73 Wassenaar) 74 75X *** DECNET_RELAY support in configs. 76 77X *** -wN command line flag to set the width of mailq output. 78 (Allan Johannesen) 79 80E *** Move mailertable lookup after UUCP-specific class checks? 81 (Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>) 82 83E *** Users in more than one list with different owners get duplicate 84 deliveries -- maybe just assign them arbitrarily to one 85 envelope or the other? 86 87X ** Have a ruleset (6?) that gets both sender and recipient 88 addresses to check compatibility. Can you do enough interesting 89 things with this? 90 91X ** Make MAXBADCOMMANDS run time configurable. 92 93E ** Allow mailertable entries of the form ``error:message''. 94 95X ** Have .forward files re-queue if the home directory isn't 96 accessible? On some option... 97 (Q.G.Campbell@newcastle.ac.uk) 98 99X ** Have local delivery queue if NIS is down? On some option... 100 (Q.G.Campbell@newcastle.ac.uk) 101 102E ** Have nullclient configuration resolve local names to the local 103 mailer and then redirect them in ruleset 5; this allows you to 104 redirect root differently depending on the client. It's not 105 clear this is really a good idea though. 106 107E ** Move CurHostAddr into mci struct, and make CurMCI variable 108 point to this, so that logging will give the correct address 109 instead of (0) for cached connections. Motonori Nakamura. 110 111X ** Allow use of a generalized network service for aliasing? 112 How would the protocol be defined? 113 James Gritton <gritton@byu.edu>. 114 115E ** Make "local configuration error" a temporary failure? 116 (add EX_CONFIG to the markfailure list) 117 118X ** (sigh) BSMTP. 119 120X ** "E" configuration line that sets environment variables. 121 122E ** Change listen() high-load backoff to accept and issue a 4xx 123 message so that it responds more quickly. 124 125B ** Commas in NAME envariable cause problems (Peter Wan 126 <peter@cc.gatech.edu>). Merge with suggestions to use 127 MIME-format for 8-bit characters? 128 129E ** Save address information that comes back as the "additional 130 records" part of an MX lookup, to avoid additional name server 131 attempts. If there is an MX record without an additional A 132 record, delete it (this avoids a problem with misconfigured 133 DNS situations). 134 135X ** Allow a way to extend the $Z macro with local configuration 136 information. 137 138X ** Allow $x in -bt mode to expand macro "x". (BCX) [8.8] 139 140X ** Allow /address in -bt mode to expand address through ruleset 0, 141 aliases, etc. and display results. [8.8] 142 143X ** "R mailer address" in -bt mode does remotename on address. 144 145E ** Adjust "infinite loop in rule" code to handle entire ruleset 146 (Code from Michael Corrigan). 147 148E ** Allow :include: from command line (not SMTP) to assist in 149 "personal list" management -- i.e., creating lists that 150 cannot be EXPNed. 151 152X ** Database (keyed lookup) auto-rebuild. 153 154X ** Find a good test suite and include in the distribution. 155 156S ** You can use symbolic links to point into protected directories. 157 (AEJ) 158 159X ** Extend OI to allow separate settings for canonification, MX, and A 160 lookups. [8.8?] 161 162X ** Add $!x class to match any number of words not in class x. (KRE) 163 164X ** LOCAL_RULE_5 (Spencer Sun, spencer@phoenix.Princeton.EDU) 165 166X ** Some way to diddle resolver flags on a per-lookup basis, such 167 as a flag to the map declaration. (Rick McCarty) 168 - Is this really a good idea? DNSRCH can be turned off by 169 putting a dot at the end. AAONLY? 170 171X ** Extend makemap to "gather" values -- i.e., merge entries that 172 have the same keys. [8.8] (BCX) 173 174E ** Allow error messages on individual addresses in the qf file. 175 (BCX) 176 177X ** User database extensions for mailing lists: 178 list:precedence -- Precedence: value for new message 179 list:envelopefrom -- envelope "from" value for new message 180 others? [8.8] 181 182X ** Command line switch to set precedence (for mailing list 183 generation). (BCX) 184 185B ** Return-Path: header should have <> added if not already there. 186 187X ** Add heuristic to determine if other end is a sendmail; use 188 that to decide whether or not to honor F=I mailer flag. 189 [der Mouse <mouse@collatz.mcrcim.mcgill.edu>] 190 191X ** Automatically drop into MIME mode if you have a full name 192 with 8-bit characters. See envelope.c 8.19.1.1 and util.c 193 8.17.1.1. From Anders Ellefsrud <anders@ifi.uio.no>. 194 195X ** -b? flag to read a header and show you what it will look like 196 after all rewriting for an indicated address. 197 198E ** Log $u in logsender() (for=<someaddress>). 199 200B ** Include SOCKADDR in MCI struct for logging (currently gives 201 a sockaddr of zero when printing from the cache). 202 203X ** Allow option to set the characters that are autoquoted in 204 addresses? 205 206X * Map that does MB/MR lookups. Rick McCarty <mccarty@io.com>. 207 208X * Allow $> anywhere in RHS. John Boeske <jboeske@ualberta.ca>. 209 210X * -V flag to print state of all (?) compilation flags. 211 212X * Handle Expires: header field (if still in queue). 213 214X * WIN/3B support (non-atomic rename, no h_addr_list, others?) 215 (Bruce Lilly <blilly!bruce@uu.psi.com>) 216 217X * Sun YBTS daemon uses -ba. [Martin Kiff <MGK@newton.npl.co.uk>] 218 219B * EXPN adds @domain to all mailers, including prog. Is this right? 220 [Bob Henry] 221 222B * EXPN adds @localhost instead of @$M. [Pel Emanuelsson] 223 224E * Change body put code to time out around individual puts. This will 225 make the timeout algorithm more responsive and more resilient. 226 Unfortunately, it's also a pain in the butt. 227 228X * Some way to relay unfound local users to another site. 229 230X * Disable all default RW sets except mailer-specific? 231 232 233------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 234 235IDA Features that have been requested: 236 237* USERMAILER 238 239* LOCAL_MX_HANDLER 240
