38c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm| BUILDING SENDMAIL |
39c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm+-------------------+
40c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
41c2aa98e2SPeter WemmBy far, the easiest way to compile sendmail is to use the "Build"
42c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmscript:
43c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
44c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	sh Build
45c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
46c2aa98e2SPeter WemmThis uses the "uname" command to figure out what architecture you are
47c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmon and creates a proper Makefile accordingly.  It also creates a
48c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmsubdirectory per object format, so that multiarchitecture support is
49c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmeasy.  In general this should be all you need.  IRIX 6.x users should
50c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmread the note below in the OPERATING SYSTEM AND COMPILE QUIRKS section.
51c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
52c2aa98e2SPeter WemmIf you need to look at other include or library directories, use the
53c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm-I or -L flags on the command line, e.g.,
54c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
55c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	sh Build -I/usr/sww/include -L/usr/sww/lib
56c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
57c2aa98e2SPeter WemmIt's also possible to create local site configuration in the file
58c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmsite.config.m4 (or another file settable with the -f flag).  This
59c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmfile contains M4 definitions for various compilation values; the
60c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmmost useful are:
61c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
62c2aa98e2SPeter WemmconfMAPDEF	-D flags to specify database types to be included
63c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		(see below)
64c2aa98e2SPeter WemmconfENVDEF	-D flags to specify other environment information
65c2aa98e2SPeter WemmconfINCDIRS	-I flags for finding include files during compilation
66c2aa98e2SPeter WemmconfLIBDIRS	-L flags for finding libraries during linking
67c2aa98e2SPeter WemmconfLIBS	-l flags for selecting libraries during linking
68c2aa98e2SPeter WemmconfLDOPTS	other ld(1) linker options
69c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
70c2aa98e2SPeter WemmOthers can be found by examining Makefile.m4.  Please read
7106f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro../devtools/README for more information about the site.config.m4
72c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmfile.
73c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
74c2aa98e2SPeter WemmYou can recompile from scratch using the -c flag with the Build
75c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmcommand.  This removes the existing compilation directory for the
76c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmcurrent platform and builds a new one.
77c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
78c2aa98e2SPeter WemmPorting to a new Unix-based system should be a matter of creating
7906f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiroan appropriate configuration file in the devtools/OS/ directory.
80c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
81c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
82c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm+----------------------+
83c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm| DATABASE DEFINITIONS |
84c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm+----------------------+
85c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
86c2aa98e2SPeter WemmThere are several database formats that can be used for the alias files
87c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmand for general maps.  When used for alias files they interact in an
88c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmattempt to be backward compatible.
89c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
90c2aa98e2SPeter WemmThe options are:
91c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
92c2aa98e2SPeter WemmNEWDB		The new Berkeley DB package.  Some systems (e.g., BSD/OS and
93c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		Digital UNIX 4.0) have some version of this package
94c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		pre-installed.  If your system does not have Berkeley DB
95c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		pre-installed, or the version installed is not version 2.0
96c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		or greater (e.g., is Berkeley DB 1.85 or 1.86), get the
97c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		current version from http://www.sleepycat.com/.  DO NOT
98c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		use a version from any of the University of California,
99c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		Berkeley "Net" or other distributions.  If you are still
100c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		running BSD/386 1.x, you will need to upgrade the included
101c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		Berkeley DB library to a current version.  NEWDB is included
102c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		automatically if the Build script can find a library named
10306f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro		libdb.a or libdb.so.
104c2aa98e2SPeter WemmNDBM		The older NDBM implementation -- the very old V7 DBM
105c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		implementation is no longer supported.
106c2aa98e2SPeter WemmNIS		Network Information Services.  To use this you must have
107c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		NIS support on your system.
108c2aa98e2SPeter WemmNISPLUS		NIS+ (the revised NIS released with Solaris 2).  You must
109c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		have NIS+ support on your system to use this flag.
110c2aa98e2SPeter WemmHESIOD		Support for Hesiod (from the DEC/Athena distribution).  You
111c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		must already have Hesiod support on your system for this to
112c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		work.  You may be able to get this to work with the MIT/Athena
113c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		version of Hesiod, but that's likely to be a lot of work.
114c86d5965SGregory Neil Shapiro		BIND 8.X also includes Hesiod support.
11506f25ae9SGregory Neil ShapiroLDAPMAP		Lightweight Directory Access Protocol support.  You will
11606f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro		have to install the UMich or OpenLDAP
11706f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro		(http://www.openldap.org/) ldap and lber libraries to use
11806f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro		this flag.
119c2aa98e2SPeter WemmMAP_REGEX	Regular Expression support.  You will need to use an
120c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		operating system which comes with the POSIX regex()
121c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		routines or install a regexp library such as libregex from
122c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		the Free Software Foundation.
12340266059SGregory Neil ShapiroDNSMAP		DNS map support.  Requires NAMED_BIND.
12440266059SGregory Neil ShapiroPH_MAP		PH map support.  You will need the libphclient library from
12540266059SGregory Neil Shapiro		the nph package (http://www-dev.cso.uiuc.edu/ph/nph/).
12606f25ae9SGregory Neil ShapiroMAP_NSD		nsd map support (IRIX 6.5 and later).
127c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
128c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm>>>  NOTE WELL for NEWDB support: If you want to get ndbm support, for
129c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm>>>  Berkeley DB versions under 2.0, it is CRITICAL that you remove
130c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm>>>  ndbm.o from libdb.a before you install it and DO NOT install ndbm.h;
131c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm>>>  for Berkeley DB versions 2.0 through 2.3.14, remove dbm.o from libdb.a
132c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm>>>  before you install it.  If you don't delete these, there is absolutely
133c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm>>>  no point to including -DNDBM, since it will just get you another
134c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm>>>  (inferior) API to the same format database.  These files OVERRIDE
135c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm>>>  calls to ndbm routines -- in particular, if you leave ndbm.h in,
136c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm>>>  you can find yourself using the new db package even if you don't
137c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm>>>  define NEWDB.  Berkeley DB versions later than 2.3.14 do not need
138c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm>>>  to be modified.  Please also consult the README in the top level
139c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm>>>  directory of the sendmail distribution for other important information.
140c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm>>>
141c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm>>>  Further note: DO NOT remove your existing /usr/include/ndbm.h --
142c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm>>>  you need that one.  But do not install an updated ndbm.h in
143c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm>>>  /usr/include, /usr/local/include, or anywhere else.
144c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
145c2aa98e2SPeter WemmIf NEWDB and NDBM are defined (but not NIS), then sendmail will read
146c2aa98e2SPeter WemmNDBM format alias files, but the next time a newaliases is run the
147c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmformat will be converted to NEWDB; that format will be used forever
148c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmmore.  This is intended as a transition feature.
149c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
150c2aa98e2SPeter WemmIf NEWDB, NDBM, and NIS are all defined and the name of the file includes
151c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmthe string "/yp/", sendmail will rebuild BOTH the NEWDB and NDBM format
152c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmalias files.  However, it will only read the NEWDB file; the NDBM format
153c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmfile is used only by the NIS subsystem.  This is needed because the NIS
154c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmmaps on an NIS server are built directly from the NDBM files.
155c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
156c2aa98e2SPeter WemmIf NDBM and NIS are defined (regardless of the definition of NEWDB),
157c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmand the filename includes the string "/yp/", sendmail adds the special
158c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmtokens "YP_LAST_MODIFIED" and "YP_MASTER_NAME", both of which are
159c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmrequired if the NDBM file is to be used as an NIS map.
160c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
161c2aa98e2SPeter WemmAll of these flags are normally defined in the DBMDEF line in the
162c2aa98e2SPeter WemmMakefile.
163c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
164c2aa98e2SPeter WemmIf you define NEWDB or HESIOD you get the User Database (USERDB)
165c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmautomatically.  Generally you do want to have NEWDB for it to do
166c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmanything interesting.  See above for getting the Berkeley DB
167c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmpackage (i.e., NEWDB).  There is no separate "user database"
168c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmpackage -- don't bother searching for it on the net.
169c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
170c2aa98e2SPeter WemmHesiod and LDAP require libraries that may not be installed with your
171c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmsystem.  These are outside of my ability to provide support.  See the
172c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm"Quirks" section for more information.
173c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
174c2aa98e2SPeter WemmThe regex map can be used to see if an address matches a certain regular
175c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmexpression.  For example, all-numerics local parts are common spam
176c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmaddresses, so "^[0-9]+$" would match this.  By using such a map in a
177c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmcheck_* rule-set, you can block a certain range of addresses that would
178c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmotherwise be considered valid.

182c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm| COMPILE FLAGS |
183c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm+---------------+
184c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
185c2aa98e2SPeter WemmWherever possible, I try to make sendmail pull in the correct
186c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmcompilation options needed to compile on various environments based on
187c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmautomatically defined symbols.  Some machines don't seem to have useful
188c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmsymbols available, requiring that a compilation flag be defined in
18906f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapirothe Makefile; see the devtools/OS subdirectory for the supported
190c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmarchitectures.
191c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
192c2aa98e2SPeter WemmIf you are a system to which sendmail has already been ported you
193c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmshould not have to touch the following symbols.  But if you are porting,
194c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmyou may have to tweak the following compilation flags in conf.h in order
195c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmto get it to compile and link properly:
196c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
197c2aa98e2SPeter WemmSYSTEM5		Adjust for System V (not necessarily Release 4).
198c2aa98e2SPeter WemmSYS5SIGNALS	Use System V signal semantics -- the signal handler
199c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		is automatically dropped when the signal is caught.
200c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		If this is not set, use POSIX/BSD semantics, where the
201c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		signal handler stays in force until an exec or an
202c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		explicit delete.  Implied by SYSTEM5.
203c2aa98e2SPeter WemmSYS5SETPGRP	Use System V setpgrp() semantics.  Implied by SYSTEM5.
20440266059SGregory Neil ShapiroHASNICE		Define this to zero if you lack the nice(2) system call.
20540266059SGregory Neil ShapiroHASRRESVPORT	Define this to zero if you lack the rresvport(3) system call.
206c2aa98e2SPeter WemmHASFCHMOD	Define this to one if you have the fchmod(2) system call.
207c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		This improves security.
20806f25ae9SGregory Neil ShapiroHASFCHOWN	Define this to one if you have the fchown(2) system call.
20940266059SGregory Neil Shapiro		This is required for the TrustedUser option if sendmail
21040266059SGregory Neil Shapiro		must rebuild an (alias) map.
211c2aa98e2SPeter WemmHASFLOCK	Set this if you prefer to use the flock(2) system call
212c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		rather than using fcntl-based locking.  Fcntl locking
213c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		has some semantic gotchas, but many vendor systems
214c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		also interface it to lockd(8) to do NFS-style locking.
215c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		Unfortunately, may vendors implementations of fcntl locking
216c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		is just plain broken (e.g., locks are never released,
217c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		causing your sendmail to deadlock; when the kernel runs
218c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		out of locks your system crashes).  For this reason, I
219c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		recommend always defining this unless you are absolutely
220c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		certain that your fcntl locking implementation really works.
221c2aa98e2SPeter WemmHASUNAME	Set if you have the "uname" system call.  Implied by
222c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		SYSTEM5.
223c2aa98e2SPeter WemmHASUNSETENV	Define this if your system library has the "unsetenv"
224c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		subroutine.
225c2aa98e2SPeter WemmHASSETSID	Define this if you have the setsid(2) system call.  This
226c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		is implied if your system appears to be POSIX compliant.
227c2aa98e2SPeter WemmHASINITGROUPS	Define this if you have the initgroups(3) routine.
228c2aa98e2SPeter WemmHASSETVBUF	Define this if you have the setvbuf(3) library call.
229c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		If you don't, setlinebuf will be used instead.  This
230c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		defaults on if your compiler defines __STDC__.
231c2aa98e2SPeter WemmHASSETREUID	Define this if you have setreuid(2) ***AND*** root can
232c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		use setreuid to change to an arbitrary user.  This second
233c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		condition is not satisfied on AIX 3.x.  You may find that
234c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		your system has setresuid(2), (for example, on HP-UX) in
235c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		which case you will also have to #define setreuid(r, e)
236c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		to be the appropriate call.  Some systems (such as Solaris)
237c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		have a compatibility routine that doesn't work properly,
238c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		but may have "saved user ids" properly implemented so you
239c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		can ``#define setreuid(r, e) seteuid(e)'' and have it work.
240c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		The important thing is that you have a call that will set
241c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		the effective uid independently of the real or saved uid
242c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		and be able to set the effective uid back again when done.
243c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		There's a test program in ../test/t_setreuid.c that will
244c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		try things on your system.  Setting this improves the
245c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		security, since sendmail doesn't have to read .forward
246c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		and :include: files as root.  There are certain attacks
247c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		that may be unpreventable without this call.
248c2aa98e2SPeter WemmUSESETEUID	Define this to 1 if you have a seteuid(2) system call that
249c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		will allow root to set only the effective user id to an
250c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		arbitrary value ***AND*** you have saved user ids.  This is
251c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		preferable to HASSETREUID if these conditions are fulfilled.
252c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		These are the semantics of the to-be-released revision of
253c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		Posix.1.  The test program ../test/t_seteuid.c will try
254c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		this out on your system.  If you define both HASSETREUID
255c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		and USESETEUID, the former is ignored.
25640266059SGregory Neil ShapiroHASSETEGID	Define this if you have setegid(2) and it can be
25740266059SGregory Neil Shapiro		used to set the saved gid.  Please run t_dropgid in
25840266059SGregory Neil Shapiro		test/ if you are not sure whether the call works.
25940266059SGregory Neil ShapiroHASSETREGID	Define this if you have setregid(2) and it can be
26040266059SGregory Neil Shapiro		used to set the saved gid.  Please run t_dropgid in
26140266059SGregory Neil Shapiro		test/ if you are not sure whether the call works.
26240266059SGregory Neil ShapiroHASSETRESGID	Define this if you have setresgid(2) and it can be
26340266059SGregory Neil Shapiro		used to set the saved gid.  Please run t_dropgid in
26440266059SGregory Neil Shapiro		test/ if you are not sure whether the call works.
265c2aa98e2SPeter WemmHASLSTAT	Define this if you have symbolic links (and thus the
266c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		lstat(2) system call).  This improves security.  Unlike
267c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		most other options, this one is on by default, so you
268c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		need to #undef it in conf.h if you don't have symbolic
269c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		links (these days everyone does).
270c2aa98e2SPeter WemmHASSETRLIMIT	Define this to 1 if you have the setrlimit(2) syscall.
271c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		You can define it to 0 to force it off.  It is assumed
272c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		if you are running a BSD-like system.
273c2aa98e2SPeter WemmHASULIMIT	Define this if you have the ulimit(2) syscall (System V
274c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		style systems).  HASSETRLIMIT overrides, as it is more
275c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		general.
276c2aa98e2SPeter WemmHASWAITPID	Define this if you have the waitpid(2) syscall.
277c2aa98e2SPeter WemmHASGETDTABLESIZE
278c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		Define this if you have the getdtablesize(2) syscall.
279c2aa98e2SPeter WemmHAS_ST_GEN	Define this to 1 if your system has the st_gen field in
280c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		the stat structure (see stat(2)).
28106f25ae9SGregory Neil ShapiroHASSRANDOMDEV	Define this if your system has the srandomdev(3) function
28206f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro		call.
28306f25ae9SGregory Neil ShapiroHASURANDOMDEV	Define this if your system has /dev/urandom(4).
28406f25ae9SGregory Neil ShapiroHASSTRERROR	Define this if you have the libc strerror(3) function (which
285c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		should be declared in <errno.h>), and it should be used
286c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		instead of sys_errlist.
28740266059SGregory Neil ShapiroSM_CONF_GETOPT	Define this as 0 if you need a reimplementation of getopt(3).
288c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		On some systems, getopt does very odd things if called
289c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		to scan the arguments twice.  This flag will ask sendmail
290c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		to compile in a local version of getopt that works
291c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		properly.
292c2aa98e2SPeter WemmNEEDSTRTOL	Define this if your standard C library does not define
293c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		strtol(3).  This will compile in a local version.
294c2aa98e2SPeter WemmNEEDFSYNC	Define this if your standard C library does not define
295c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		fsync(2).  This will try to simulate the operation using
296c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		fcntl(2); if that is not available it does nothing, which
297c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		isn't great, but at least it compiles and runs.
298c2aa98e2SPeter WemmHASGETUSERSHELL	Define this to 1 if you have getusershell(3) in your
299c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		standard C library.  If this is not defined, or is defined
300c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		to be 0, sendmail will scan the /etc/shells file (no
301c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		NIS-style support, defaults to /bin/sh and /bin/csh if
302c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		that file does not exist) to get a list of unrestricted
303c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		user shells.  This is used to determine whether users
304c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		are allowed to forward their mail to a program or a file.
305c2aa98e2SPeter WemmNEEDPUTENV	Define this if your system needs am emulation of the
306c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		putenv(3) call.  Define to 1 to implement it in terms
307c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		of setenv(3) or to 2 to do it in terms of primitives.
308c2aa98e2SPeter WemmNOFTRUNCATE	Define this if you don't have the ftruncate(2) syscall.
309c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		If you don't have this system call, there is an unavoidable
310c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		race condition that occurs when creating alias databases.
311c2aa98e2SPeter WemmGIDSET_T	The type of entries in a gidset passed as the second
312c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		argument to getgroups(2).  Historically this has been an
313c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		int, so this is the default, but some systems (such as
314c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		IRIX) pass it as a gid_t, which is an unsigned short.
315c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		This will make a difference, so it is important to get
316c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		this right!  However, it is only an issue if you have
317c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		group sets.
318c2aa98e2SPeter WemmSLEEP_T		The type returned by the system sleep() function.
319c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		Defaults to "unsigned int".  Don't worry about this
320c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		if you don't have compilation problems.
321c2aa98e2SPeter WemmARBPTR_T	The type of an arbitrary pointer -- defaults to "void *".
322c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		If you are an very old compiler you may need to define
323c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		this to be "char *".
324c2aa98e2SPeter WemmSOCKADDR_LEN_T	The type used for the third parameter to accept(2),
325c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		getsockname(2), and getpeername(2), representing the
326c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		length of a struct sockaddr.  Defaults to int.
327c2aa98e2SPeter WemmSOCKOPT_LEN_T	The type used for the fifth parameter to getsockopt(2)
328c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		and setsockopt(2), representing the length of the option
329c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		buffer.  Defaults to int.
330c2aa98e2SPeter WemmLA_TYPE		The type of load average your kernel supports.  These
331c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		can be one of:
332c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		 LA_ZERO (1) -- it always returns the load average as
333c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm			"zero" (and does so on all architectures).
334c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		 LA_INT (2) to read /dev/kmem for the symbol avenrun and
335c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm			interpret as a long integer.
336c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		 LA_FLOAT (3) same, but interpret the result as a floating
337c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm			point number.
338c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		 LA_SHORT (6) to interpret as a short integer.
339c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		 LA_SUBR (4) if you have the getloadavg(3) routine in your
340c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm			system library.
341c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		 LA_MACH (5) to use MACH-style load averages (calls
342c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm			processor_set_info()),
343c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		 LA_PROCSTR (7) to read /proc/loadavg and interpret it
344c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm			as a string representing a floating-point
345c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm			number (Linux-style).
346c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		 LA_READKSYM (8) is an implementation suitable for some
347c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm			versions of SVr4 that uses the MIOC_READKSYM ioctl
348c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm			call to read /dev/kmem.
349c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		 LA_DGUX (9) is a special implementation for DG/UX that uses
350c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm			the dg_sys_info system call.
351c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		 LA_HPUX (10) is an HP-UX specific version that uses the
352c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm			pstat_getdynamic system call.
353c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		 LA_IRIX6 (11) is an IRIX 6.x specific version that adapts
354c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm			to 32 or 64 bit kernels; it is otherwise very similar
355c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm			to LA_INT.
356c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		 LA_KSTAT (12) uses the (Solaris-specific) kstat(3k)
357c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm			implementation.
358c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		 LA_DEVSHORT (13) reads a short from a system file (default:
359c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm			/dev/table/avenrun) and scales it in the same manner
360c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm			as LA_SHORT.
361c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		LA_INT, LA_SHORT, LA_FLOAT, and LA_READKSYM have several
362c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		other parameters that they try to divine: the name of your
363c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		kernel, the name of the variable in the kernel to examine,
364c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		the number of bits of precision in a fixed point load average,
365c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		and so forth.  LA_DEVSHORT uses _PATH_AVENRUN to find the
366c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		device to be read to find the load average.
367c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		In desperation, use LA_ZERO.  The actual code is in
368c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		conf.c -- it can be tweaked if you are brave.
369c2aa98e2SPeter WemmFSHIFT		For LA_INT, LA_SHORT, and LA_READKSYM, this is the number
370c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		of bits of load average after the binary point -- i.e.,
371c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		the number of bits to shift right in order to scale the
372c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		integer to get the true integer load average.  Defaults to 8.
373c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm_PATH_UNIX	The path to your kernel.  Needed only for LA_INT, LA_SHORT,
374c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		and LA_FLOAT.  Defaults to "/unix" on System V, "/vmunix"
375c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		everywhere else.
376c2aa98e2SPeter WemmLA_AVENRUN	For LA_INT, LA_SHORT, and LA_FLOAT, the name of the kernel
377c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		variable that holds the load average.  Defaults to "avenrun"
378c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		on System V, "_avenrun" everywhere else.
379c2aa98e2SPeter WemmSFS_TYPE	Encodes how your kernel can locate the amount of free
380c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		space on a disk partition.  This can be set to SFS_NONE
381c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		(0) if you have no way of getting this information,
382c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		SFS_USTAT (1) if you have the ustat(2) system call,
383c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		SFS_4ARGS (2) if you have a four-argument statfs(2)
384c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		system call (and the include file is <sys/statfs.h>),
385c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		SFS_VFS (3), SFS_MOUNT (4), SFS_STATFS (5) if you have
386c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		the two-argument statfs(2) system call with includes in
387c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		<sys/vfs.h>, <sys/mount.h>, or <sys/statfs.h> respectively,
388c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		or SFS_STATVFS (6) if you have the two-argument statvfs(2)
389c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		call.  The default if nothing is defined is SFS_NONE.
390c2aa98e2SPeter WemmSFS_BAVAIL	with SFS_4ARGS you can also set SFS_BAVAIL to the field name
391c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		in the statfs structure that holds the useful information;
392c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		this defaults to f_bavail.
393c2aa98e2SPeter WemmSPT_TYPE	Encodes how your system can display what a process is doing
394c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		on a ps(1) command (SPT stands for Set Process Title).  Can
395c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		be set to:
396c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		SPT_NONE (0) -- Don't try to set the process title at all.
397c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		SPT_REUSEARGV (1) -- Pad out your argv with the information;
398c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm			this is the default if none specified.
399c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		SPT_BUILTIN (2) -- The system library has setproctitle.
400c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		SPT_PSTAT (3) -- Use the PSTAT_SETCMD option to pstat(2)
401c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm			to set the process title; this is used by HP-UX.
402c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		SPT_PSSTRINGS (4) -- Use the magic PS_STRINGS pointer (4.4BSD).
403c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		SPT_SYSMIPS (5) -- Use sysmips() supported by NEWS-OS 6.
404c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		SPT_SCO (6) -- Write kernel u. area.
405c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		SPT_CHANGEARGV (7) -- Write pointers to our own strings into
406c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm			the existing argv vector.
407c2aa98e2SPeter WemmSPT_PADCHAR	Character used to pad the process title; if undefined,
408c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		the space character (0x20) is used.  This is ignored if
409c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		SPT_TYPE != SPT_REUSEARGV
410c2aa98e2SPeter WemmERRLIST_PREDEFINED
411c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		If set, assumes that some header file defines sys_errlist.
412c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		This may be needed if you get type conflicts on this
413c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		variable -- otherwise don't worry about it.
414c2aa98e2SPeter WemmWAITUNION	The wait(2) routine takes a "union wait" argument instead
415c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		of an integer argument.  This is for compatibility with
416c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		old versions of BSD.
417c2aa98e2SPeter WemmSCANF		You can set this to extend the F command to accept a
418c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		scanf string -- this gives you a primitive parser for
419c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		class definitions -- BUT it can make you vulnerable to
420c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		core dumps if the target file is poorly formed.
421c2aa98e2SPeter WemmSYSLOG_BUFSIZE	You can define this to be the size of the buffer that
422c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		syslog accepts.  If it is not defined, it assumes a
423c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		1024-byte buffer.  If the buffer is very small (under
424c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		256 bytes) the log message format changes -- each
425c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		e-mail message will log many more messages, since it
426c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		will log each piece of information as a separate line
427c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		in syslog.
428c2aa98e2SPeter WemmBROKEN_RES_SEARCH
429c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		On Ultrix (and maybe other systems?) if you use the
430c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		res_search routine with an unknown host name, it returns
431c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		-1 but sets h_errno to 0 instead of HOST_NOT_FOUND.  If
432c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		you set this, sendmail considers 0 to be the same as
433c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		HOST_NOT_FOUND.
434c2aa98e2SPeter WemmNAMELISTMASK	If defined, values returned by nlist(3) are masked
435c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		against this value before use -- a common value is
436c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		0x7fffffff to strip off the top bit.
437c2aa98e2SPeter WemmBSD4_4_SOCKADDR	If defined, socket addresses have an sa_len field that
438c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		defines the length of this address.
439c2aa98e2SPeter WemmSAFENFSPATHCONF	Set this to 1 if and only if you have verified that a
440c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		pathconf(2) call with _PC_CHOWN_RESTRICTED argument on an
441c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		NFS filesystem where the underlying system allows users to
442c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		give away files to other users returns <= 0.  Be sure you
443c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		try both on NFS V2 and V3.  Some systems assume that their
444c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		local policy apply to NFS servers -- this is a bad
445c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		assumption!  The test/t_pathconf.c program will try this
446c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		for you -- you have to run it in a directory that is
447c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		mounted from a server that allows file giveaway.
448c2aa98e2SPeter WemmSIOCGIFCONF_IS_BROKEN
449c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		Set this if your system has an SIOCGIFCONF ioctl defined,
450c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		but it doesn't behave the same way as "most" systems (BSD,
451c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		Solaris, SunOS, HP-UX, etc.)
452c2aa98e2SPeter WemmSIOCGIFNUM_IS_BROKEN
453c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		Set this if your system has an SIOCGIFNUM ioctl defined,
454c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		but it doesn't behave the same way as "most" systems
455c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		(Solaris, HP-UX).
45606f25ae9SGregory Neil ShapiroFAST_PID_RECYCLE
45706f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro		Set this if your system can reuse the same PID in the same
45806f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro		second.
45906f25ae9SGregory Neil ShapiroSO_REUSEADDR_IS_BROKEN
46006f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro		Set this if your system has a setsockopt() SO_REUSEADDR
46106f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro		flag but doesn't pay attention to it when trying to bind a
46206f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro		socket to a recently closed port.
4638774250cSGregory Neil ShapiroNEEDSGETIPNODE	Set this if your system supports IPv6 but doesn't include
4648774250cSGregory Neil Shapiro		the getipnodeby{name,addr}() functions.  Set automatically
4658774250cSGregory Neil Shapiro		for Linux's glibc.
46640266059SGregory Neil ShapiroPIPELINING	Support SMTP PIPELINING	(set by default).
46740266059SGregory Neil ShapiroUSING_NETSCAPE_LDAP
46840266059SGregory Neil Shapiro		Set this if LDAPMAP is set and your LDAP libraries are from
46940266059SGregory Neil Shapiro		(or are derived from) Netscape's implementation, which
47040266059SGregory Neil Shapiro		requires that the return value of ldap_first_attribute()
47140266059SGregory Neil Shapiro		and ldap_next_attribute() be ldap_memfree()'d.
47240266059SGregory Neil ShapiroNEEDLINK	Set this if your system doesn't have a link() call.  It
47340266059SGregory Neil Shapiro		will create a copy of the file instead of a hardlink.
47440266059SGregory Neil ShapiroUSE_ENVIRON	Set this to 1 to access process environment variables from
47540266059SGregory Neil Shapiro		the external variable environ instead of the third
47640266059SGregory Neil Shapiro		parameter of main().
47740266059SGregory Neil ShapiroUSE_DOUBLE_FORK By default this is on (1).  Set it to 0 to suppress the
47840266059SGregory Neil Shapiro		extra fork() used to avoid intermediate zombies.

482c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm| COMPILE-TIME FEATURES |
483c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm+-----------------------+
484c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
485c2aa98e2SPeter WemmThere are a bunch of features that you can decide to compile in, such
486c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmas selecting various database packages and special protocol support.
487c2aa98e2SPeter WemmSeveral are assumed based on other compilation flags -- if you want to
488c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm"un-assume" something, you probably need to edit conf.h.  Compilation
489c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmflags that add support for special features include:
490c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
491c2aa98e2SPeter WemmNDBM		Include support for "new" DBM library for aliases and maps.
492c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		Normally defined in the Makefile.
493c2aa98e2SPeter WemmNEWDB		Include support for Berkeley DB package (hash & btree)
494c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		for aliases and maps.  Normally defined in the Makefile.
495c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		If the version of NEWDB you have is the old one that does
496c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		not include the "fd" call (this call was added in version
497c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		1.5 of the Berkeley DB code), you must upgrade to the
498c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		current version of Berkeley DB.
499c2aa98e2SPeter WemmNIS		Define this to get NIS (YP) support for aliases and maps.
500c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		Normally defined in the Makefile.
501c2aa98e2SPeter WemmNISPLUS		Define this to get NIS+ support for aliases and maps.
502c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		Normally defined in the Makefile.
503c2aa98e2SPeter WemmHESIOD		Define this to get Hesiod support for aliases and maps.
504c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		Normally defined in the Makefile.
505c2aa98e2SPeter WemmNETINFO		Define this to get NeXT NetInfo support for aliases and maps.
506c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		Normally defined in the Makefile.
50706f25ae9SGregory Neil ShapiroLDAPMAP		Define this to get LDAP support for maps.
50806f25ae9SGregory Neil ShapiroPH_MAP		Define this to get PH support for maps.
50906f25ae9SGregory Neil ShapiroMAP_NSD		Define this to get nsd support for maps.
510c2aa98e2SPeter WemmUSERDB		Define this to 1 to include support for the User Information
511c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		Database.  Implied by NEWDB or HESIOD.  You can use
512c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		-DUSERDB=0 to explicitly turn it off.
513c2aa98e2SPeter WemmIDENTPROTO	Define this as 1 to get IDENT (RFC 1413) protocol support.
514c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		This is assumed unless you are running on Ultrix or
515c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		HP-UX, both of which have a problem in the UDP
516c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		implementation.  You can define it to be 0 to explicitly
517c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		turn off IDENT protocol support.  If defined off, the code
518c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		is actually still compiled in, but it defaults off; you
51906f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro		can turn it on by setting the IDENT timeout in the
520c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		configuration file.
521c2aa98e2SPeter WemmIP_SRCROUTE	Define this to 1 to get IP source routing information
522c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		displayed in the Received: header.  This is assumed on
523c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		most systems, but some (e.g., Ultrix) apparently have a
524c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		broken version of getsockopt that doesn't properly
525c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		support the IP_OPTIONS call.  You probably want this if
526c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		your OS can cope with it.  Symptoms of failure will be that
527c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		it won't compile properly (that is, no support for fetching
528c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		IP_OPTIONs), or it compiles but source-routed TCP connections
529c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		either refuse to open or open and hang for no apparent reason.
530c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		Ultrix and AIX3 are known to fail this way.
531c2aa98e2SPeter WemmLOG		Set this to get syslog(3) support.  Defined by default
532c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		in conf.h.  You want this if at all possible.
533c2aa98e2SPeter WemmNETINET		Set this to get TCP/IP support.  Defined by default
534c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		in conf.h.  You probably want this.
53506f25ae9SGregory Neil ShapiroNETINET6	Set this to get IPv6 support.  Other configuration may
53606f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro		be needed in conf.h for your particular operating system.
53706f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro		Also, DaemonPortOptions must be set appropriately for
53806f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro		sendmail to accept IPv6 connections.
539c2aa98e2SPeter WemmNETISO		Define this to get ISO networking support.
540c2aa98e2SPeter WemmNETUNIX		Define this to get Unix domain networking support.  Defined
541c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		by default.  A few bizarre systems (SCO, ISC, Altos) don't
542c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		support this networking domain.
54306f25ae9SGregory Neil ShapiroNETNS		Define this to get NS networking support.
54406f25ae9SGregory Neil ShapiroNETX25		Define this to get X.25 networking support.
545c2aa98e2SPeter WemmNAMED_BIND	If non-zero, include DNS (name daemon) support, including
546c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		MX support.  The specs say you must use this if you run
547c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		SMTP.  You don't have to be running a name server daemon
548c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		on your machine to need this -- any use of the DNS resolver,
549c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		including remote access to another machine, requires this
550c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		option.  Defined by default in conf.h.  Define it to zero
551c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		ONLY on machines that do not use DNS in any way.
552c2aa98e2SPeter WemmMATCHGECOS	Permit fuzzy matching of user names against the full
553c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		name (GECOS) field in the /etc/passwd file.  This should
554c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		probably be on, since you can disable it from the config
555c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		file if you want to.  Defined by default in conf.h.
556c2aa98e2SPeter WemmMIME8TO7	If non-zero, include 8 to 7 bit MIME conversions.  This
557c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		also controls advertisement of 8BITMIME in the ESMTP
558c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		startup dialogue.
559c2aa98e2SPeter WemmMIME7TO8	If non-zero, include 7 to 8 bit MIME conversions.
560c2aa98e2SPeter WemmHES_GETMAILHOST	Define this to 1 if you are using Hesiod with the
561c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		hes_getmailhost() routine.  This is included with the MIT
562c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		Hesiod distribution, but not with the DEC Hesiod distribution.
563c2aa98e2SPeter WemmXDEBUG		Do additional internal checking.  These don't cost too
564c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		much; you might as well leave this on.
565c2aa98e2SPeter WemmTCPWRAPPERS	Turns on support for the TCP wrappers library (-lwrap).
566c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		See below for further information.
567c2aa98e2SPeter WemmSECUREWARE	Enable calls to the SecureWare luid enabling/changing routines.
568c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		SecureWare is a C2 security package added to several UNIX's
569c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		(notably ConvexOS) to get a C2 Secure system.  This
570c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		option causes mail delivery to be done with the luid of the
571c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		recipient.
572c2aa98e2SPeter WemmSHARE_V1	Support for the fair share scheduler, version 1.  Setting to
573c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		1 causes final delivery to be done using the recipients
574c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		resource limitations.  So far as I know, this is only
575c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		supported on ConvexOS.
57606f25ae9SGregory Neil ShapiroSASL		Enables SMTP AUTH (RFC 2554).  This requires the Cyrus SASL
57706f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro		library (ftp://ftp.andrew.cmu.edu/pub/cyrus-mail/).  Please
57806f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro		install at least version 1.5.13.  See below for further
57906f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro		information: SASL COMPILATION AND CONFIGURATION.  If your
58006f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro		SASL library is older than 1.5.10, you have to set this
58106f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro		to its version number using a simple conversion:  a.b.c
58206f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro		-> c + b*100 + a*10000, e.g. for 1.5.9 define SASL=10509.
58306f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro		Note: Using an older version than 1.5.5 of Cyrus SASL is
58406f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro		not supported.  Starting with version 1.5.10, setting SASL=1
58506f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro		is sufficient.  Any value other than 1 (or 0) will be
58606f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro		compared with the actual version found and if there is a
58706f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro		mismatch, compilation will fail.
58806f25ae9SGregory Neil ShapiroEGD		Define this if your system has EGD installed, see
58906f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro		http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/ .  It should be used to
59006f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro		seed the PRNG for STARTTLS if HASURANDOMDEV is not defined.
59106f25ae9SGregory Neil ShapiroSTARTTLS	Enables SMTP STARTTLS (RFC 2487).  This requires OpenSSL
59240266059SGregory Neil Shapiro		(http://www.OpenSSL.org/); use OpenSSL 0.9.5a or later
59340266059SGregory Neil Shapiro		(if compatible with this version), do not use 0.9.3.
59406f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro		See STARTTLS COMPILATION AND CONFIGURATION for further
59506f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro		information.
59606f25ae9SGregory Neil ShapiroTLS_NO_RSA	Turn off support for RSA algorithms in STARTTLS.
59740266059SGregory Neil ShapiroMILTER		Turn on support for external filters using the Milter API.
59840266059SGregory Neil Shapiro		See libmilter/README for more information.
59940266059SGregory Neil ShapiroREQUIRES_DIR_FSYNC	Turn on support for file systems that require to
60040266059SGregory Neil Shapiro		call fsync() for a directory if the meta-data in it has
60140266059SGregory Neil Shapiro		been changed.  This should be turned on at least for
60240266059SGregory Neil Shapiro		ReiserFS; it is enabled by default for Linux.  An alternative
60340266059SGregory Neil Shapiro		to this compile time flag is to mount the queue directory
60440266059SGregory Neil Shapiro		without the -async option, or using chattr +S on Linux.

615c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm+---------------------+
616c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
617c2aa98e2SPeter WemmMany systems have old versions of the resolver library.  At a minimum,
618c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmyou should be running BIND 4.8.3; older versions may compile, but they
619c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmhave known bugs that should give you pause.
620c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
621c2aa98e2SPeter WemmCommon problems in old versions include "undefined" errors for
622c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmdn_skipname.
623c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
624c2aa98e2SPeter WemmSome people have had a problem with BIND 4.9; it uses some routines
625c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmthat it expects to be externally defined such as strerror().  It may
626c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmhelp to link with "-l44bsd" to solve this problem.  This has apparently
627c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmbeen fixed in later versions of BIND, starting around 4.9.3.  In other
628c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmwords, if you use 4.9.0 through 4.9.2, you need -l44bsd; for earlier or
629c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmlater versions, you do not.
630c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
631c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm!PLEASE! be sure to link with the same version of the resolver as
632c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmthe header files you used -- some people have used the 4.9 headers
633c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmand linked with BIND 4.8 or vice versa, and it doesn't work.
634c2aa98e2SPeter WemmUnfortunately, it doesn't fail in an obvious way -- things just
635c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmsubtly don't work.
636c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
637c2aa98e2SPeter WemmWILDCARD MX RECORDS ARE A BAD IDEA!  The only situation in which they
638c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmwork reliably is if you have two versions of DNS, one in the real world
639c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmwhich has a wildcard pointing to your firewall, and a completely
640c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmdifferent version of the database internally that does not include
641c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmwildcard MX records that match your domain.  ANYTHING ELSE WILL GIVE
642c2aa98e2SPeter WemmYOU HEADACHES!
643c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
644193538b7SGregory Neil ShapiroWhen attempting to canonify a hostname, some broken name servers will

64640266059SGregory Neil Shapirowant to excuse this behavior, include WorkAroundBrokenAAAA in

735c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
736c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	Jim Wilson of Cygnus believes he has found the problem -- it will
737c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	probably be fixed in GCC 2.5.6 -- but until this is verified, be
738c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	very suspicious of gcc -O.  This problem is reported to have been
739c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	fixed in gcc 2.6.
740c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
741c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	A bug in gcc 2.5.5 caused problems compiling sendmail 8.6.5 with
742c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	optimization on a Sparc.  If you are using gcc 2.5.5, youi should
743c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	upgrade to the latest version of gcc.
744c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
745c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	Apparently GCC 2.7.0 on the Pentium processor has optimization
746c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	problems.  I recommend against using -O on that architecture.  This
747c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	has been seen on FreeBSD 2.0.5 RELEASE.
748c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
749c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	Solaris 2.X users should use version 2.7.2.3 over 2.7.2.
750c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
751c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	We have been told there are problems with gcc 2.8.0.  If you are
752c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	using this version, you should upgrade to 2.8.1 or later.
753c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
754c2aa98e2SPeter WemmGDBM	GDBM does not work with sendmail 8.8 because the additional
755c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	security checks and file locking cause problems.  Unfortunately,
756c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	gdbm does not provide a compile flag in its version of ndbm.h so
757c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	the code can adapt.  Until the GDBM authors can fix these problems,
758c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	GDBM will not be supported.  Please use Berkeley DB instead.
759c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
760c2aa98e2SPeter WemmConfiguration file location
761c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	Up to 8.6, sendmail tried to find the sendmail.cf file in the same
762c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	place as the vendors had put it, even when this was obviously
763c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	stupid.  As of 8.7, sendmail ALWAYS looks for /etc/sendmail.cf.
76406f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro	Beginning with 8.10, sendmail uses /etc/mail/sendmail.cf.
765c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	You can get sendmail to use the stupid vendor .cf location by
766c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	adding -DUSE_VENDOR_CF_PATH during compilation, but this may break
767c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	support programs and scripts that need to find sendmail.cf.  You
768c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	are STRONGLY urged to use symbolic links if you want to use the
769c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	vendor location rather than changing the location in the sendmail
770c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	binary.
771c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
77206f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro	NETINFO systems use NETINFO to determine the location of
77306f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro	sendmail.cf.  The full path to sendmail.cf is stored as the value of
77406f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro	the "sendmail.cf" property in the "/locations/sendmail"
77506f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro	subdirectory of NETINFO.  Set the value of this property to
77606f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro	"/etc/mail/sendmail.cf" (without the quotes) to use this new
77706f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro	default location for Sendmail 8.10.0 and higher.

77906f25ae9SGregory Neil ShapiroControlSocket permissions
78006f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro	Paraphrased from BIND 8.2.1's README:
78106f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro
78206f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro	Solaris and other pre-4.4BSD kernels do not respect ownership or
78306f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro	protections on UNIX-domain sockets.  The short term fix for this is to
78406f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro	override the default path and put such control sockets into root-
78506f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro	owned directories which do not permit non-root to r/w/x through them.
78606f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro	The long term fix is for all kernels to upgrade to 4.4BSD semantics.
78706f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro
78840266059SGregory Neil ShapiroHP MPE/iX
78940266059SGregory Neil Shapiro	The MPE-specific code within sendmail emulates a set-user-id root
79040266059SGregory Neil Shapiro	environment for the sendmail binary.  But there is no root uid 0 on
79140266059SGregory Neil Shapiro	MPE, nor is there any support for set-user-id programs.  Even when
79240266059SGregory Neil Shapiro	sendmail thinks it is running as uid 0, it will still have the file
79340266059SGregory Neil Shapiro	access rights of the underlying non-zero uid, but because sendmail is
79440266059SGregory Neil Shapiro	an MPE priv-mode program it will still be able to call setuid() to
79540266059SGregory Neil Shapiro	successfully switch to a new uid.
79640266059SGregory Neil Shapiro
79740266059SGregory Neil Shapiro	MPE setgid() semantics don't quite work the way sendmail expects, so
79840266059SGregory Neil Shapiro	special emulation is done here also.
79940266059SGregory Neil Shapiro
80040266059SGregory Neil Shapiro	This uid/gid emulation is enabled via the setuid/setgid file mode bits
80140266059SGregory Neil Shapiro	which are not currently used by MPE.  Code in libsm/mpeix.c examines
80240266059SGregory Neil Shapiro	these bits and enables emulation if they have been set, i.e.,
80340266059SGregory Neil Shapiro	chmod u+s,g+s /SENDMAIL/CURRENT/SENDMAIL.

805c2aa98e2SPeter WemmSunOS 4.x (Solaris 1.x)
806c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	You may have to use -lresolv on SunOS.  However, beware that
807c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	this links in a new version of gethostbyname that does not
808c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	understand NIS, so you must have all of your hosts in DNS.
809c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
810c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	Some people have reported problems with the SunOS version of
811c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	-lresolv and/or in.named, and suggest that you get a newer
812c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	version.  The symptoms are delays when you connect to the
813c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	SMTP server on a SunOS machine or having your domain added to
814c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	addresses inappropriately.  There is a version of BIND

816c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
817c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	There is substantial disagreement about whether you can make
818c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	this work with resolv+, which allows you to specify a search-path
819c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	of services.  Some people report that it works fine, others
820c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	claim it doesn't work at all (including causing sendmail to
821c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	drop core when it tries to do multiple resolv+ lookups for a
822c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	single job).  I haven't tried resolv+, as we use DNS exclusively.

844c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	Sendmail 8.7.Beta.12 compiles and runs nearly out of the box with the
845c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	following changes:
846c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	* Don't use /usr/5bin in your PATH, but make /usr/5bin/uname
847c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	  available as "uname" command.

84906f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro	  devtools/OS/SunOS.4.0, which is selected via the "uname" command.
850c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	I recommend to make available the db-library on the system first
851c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	(and change the Makefile to use this library).
852c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	Note that the sendmail.cf and aliases files are found in /etc.

854c2aa98e2SPeter WemmSunOS 4.1.3, 4.1.3_U1
855c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	Sendmail causes crashes on SunOS 4.1.3 and 4.1.3_U1.  According
856c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	to Sun bug number 1077939:
857c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
858c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	If an application does a getsockopt() on a SOCK_STREAM (TCP) socket
859c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	after the other side of the connection has sent a TCP RESET for
860c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	the stream, the kernel gets a Bus Trap in the tcp_ctloutput() or
861c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	ip_ctloutput() routine.
862c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
863c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	For 4.1.3, this is fixed in patch 100584-08, available on the
864c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	Sunsolve 2.7.1 or later CDs.  For 4.1.3_U1, this was fixed in patch
865c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	101790-01 (SunOS 4.1.3_U1: TCP socket and reset problems), later
866c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	obsoleted by patch 102010-05.
867c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
868c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	Sun patch 100584-08 is not currently publicly available on their

872c2aa98e2SPeter WemmSolaris 2.x (SunOS 5.x)
873c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	To compile for Solaris, the Makefile built by Build must
874c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	include a SOLARIS definition which reflects the Solaris version
875c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	(i.e. -DSOLARIS=20400 for 2.4 or -DSOLARIS=20501 for 2.5.1).
876c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	If you are using gcc, make sure -I/usr/include is not used (or
877c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	it might complain about TopFrame).  If you are using Sun's cc,
878c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	make sure /opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc is used instead of /usr/ucb/cc
879c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	(or it might complain about tm_zone).
880c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
881c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	The Solaris "syslog" function is apparently limited to something
882c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	about 90 characters because of a kernel limitation.  If you have
883c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	source code, you can probably up this number.  You can get patches
884c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	that fix this problem: the patch ids are:

983193538b7SGregory Neil Shapiro	If you are using dns for hostname resolution on Solaris, make sure
984193538b7SGregory Neil Shapiro	that the 'dns' entry is last on the hosts line in
985193538b7SGregory Neil Shapiro	'/etc/nsswitch.conf'.  For example, use:
986193538b7SGregory Neil Shapiro
987193538b7SGregory Neil Shapiro		hosts:	nisplus files dns
988193538b7SGregory Neil Shapiro

993193538b7SGregory Neil Shapiro	Note that 'nisplus' above is an illustration.  The same comment
994193538b7SGregory Neil Shapiro	applies no matter what naming services you are using.  If you have
995193538b7SGregory Neil Shapiro	anything other than dns last, even after "[NOTFOUND=return]",
996193538b7SGregory Neil Shapiro	sendmail may not be able to determine whether an error was

1179c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
1180c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	I guess this isn't really a sendmail bug, however, it is something
1181c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	that A/UX users should be aware of when compiling sendmail 8.6.
1182c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
1183c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	Apparently, the calls that sendmail is using to the ndbm routines
1184c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	in A/UX 3.0.x contain calls to "broken" routines, in that the
1185c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	aliases database will break when it gets "just a little big"
1186c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	(sorry I don't have exact numbers here, but it broke somewhere
1187c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	around 20-25 aliases for me.), making all aliases non-functional
1188c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	after exceeding this point.
1189c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
1190c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	What I did was to get the gnu-dbm-1.6 package, compile it, and
1191c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	then re-compile sendmail with "-lgdbm", "-DNDBM", and using the
1192c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	ndbm.h header file that comes with the gnu-package.  This makes
1193c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	things behave properly.
1194c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	  [NOTE: see comment above about GDBM]
1195c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
1196c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	I suppose porting the New Berkeley DB package is another route,
1197c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	however, I made a quick attempt at it, and found it difficult
1198c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	(not easy at least); the gnu-dbm package "configured" and
1199c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	compiled easily.

121240266059SGregory Neil Shapiro	i.e., although SCO has _res.dnsrch defined, and is kinda BIND 4.8.3,
121340266059SGregory Neil Shapiro	it does not inititialise it, nor does it understand 'search' in

1227c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	Originally, the DG /bin/mail program wasn't compatible with

125140266059SGregory Neil Shapiro	a series 300 machine) running HP-UX 8.00.
1252c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
1253c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	I was getting segmentation fault when delivering to a local user.
1254c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	With debugging I saw it was faulting when doing _free@libc... *sigh*
1255c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	It seems the new implementation of malloc on s300 is buggy as of 8.0,
1256c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	so I tried out the one in -lmalloc (malloc(3X)).  With that it seems
1257c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	to work just dandy.
1258c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm

1266c2aa98e2SPeter WemmLinux
1267c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	Something broke between versions 0.99.13 and 0.99.14 of Linux:
1268c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	the flock() system call gives errors.  If you are running .14,
1269c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	you must not use flock.  You can do this with -DHASFLOCK=0.
1270c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
1271c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	Around the inclusion of bind-4.9.3 & Linux libc-4.6.20, the
1272c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	initialization of the _res structure changed.  If /etc/hosts.conf
1273c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	was configured as "hosts, bind" the resolver code could return
1274c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	"Name server failure" errors.  This is supposedly fixed in
1275c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	later versions of libc (>= 4.6.29?), and later versions of
1276c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	sendmail (> 8.6.10) try to work around the problem.
1277c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
1278c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	Some older versions (< 4.6.20?) of the libc/include files conflict
1279c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	with sendmail's version of cdefs.h.  Deleting sendmail's version
1280c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	on those systems should be non-harmful, and new versions don't care.
1281c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
1282c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	NOTE ON LINUX & BIND:  By default, the Makefile generated for Linux
1283c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	includes header files in /usr/local/include and libraries in
1284c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	/usr/local/lib.  If you've installed BIND on your system, the header
1285c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	files typically end up in the search path and you need to add
1286c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	"-lresolv" to the LIBS line in your Makefile.  Really old versions
1287c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	may need to include "-l44bsd" as well (particularly if the link phase
1288c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	complains about missing strcasecmp, strncasecmp or strpbrk).
1289c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	Complaints about an undefined reference to `__dn_skipname' in
1290c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	domain.o are a sure sign that you need to add -lresolv to LIBS.
1291c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	Newer versions of Linux are basically threaded BIND, so you may or
1292c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	may not see complaints if you accidentally mix BIND
1293c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	headers/libraries with virginal libc.  If you have BIND headers in
1294c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	/usr/local/include (resolv.h, etc) you *should* be adding -lresolv
1295c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	to LIBS.  Data structures may change and you'd be asking for a
1296c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	core dump.

13012e43090eSPeter Wemm	implementation in the Linux 2.2.0 kernel and poll()-aware versions
13022e43090eSPeter Wemm	of glib (at least up to 2.0.111).

1305602a2b1bSGregory Neil Shapiro	glibc 2.2.1 (and possibly other versions) changed the value of

1307602a2b1bSGregory Neil Shapiro	changes that the change implied.  Therefore, compiling with
1308602a2b1bSGregory Neil Shapiro	-DNETINET6 fails.
1309602a2b1bSGregory Neil Shapiro
1310602a2b1bSGregory Neil Shapiro	Workarounds:
1311602a2b1bSGregory Neil Shapiro	1) Compile without -DNETINET6
1312602a2b1bSGregory Neil Shapiro	2) Build against a real BIND 8.2.2 include/lib tree

131506f25ae9SGregory Neil ShapiroAIX 4.X
131606f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro	The AIX 4.X linker uses library paths specified during compilation
131706f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro	using -L for run-time shared library searches.  Therefore, it is
131806f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro	vital that relative and unsafe directory paths not be using when
131906f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro	compiling sendmail.  Because of this danger, by default, compiles
132006f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro	on AIX use the -blibpath option to limit shared libraries to
132106f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro	/usr/lib and /lib.  If you need to allow more directories, such as
132206f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro	/usr/local/lib, modify your devtools/Site/site.AIX.4.2.m4,
132306f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro	site.AIX.4.3.m4, and/or site.AIX.4.x.m4 file(s) and set confLDOPTS
132406f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro	approriately.  For example:
132506f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro
132606f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro	define(`confLDOPTS', `-blibpath:/usr/lib:/lib:/usr/local/lib')
132706f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro
132806f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro	Be sure to only add (safe) system directories.
132906f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro
133006f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro	The AIX version of GNU ld also exhibits this problem.  If you are
133106f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro	using that version, instead of -blibpath, use its -rpath option.
133206f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro	For example:
133306f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro
133406f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro	gcc -Wl,-rpath /usr/lib -Wl,-rpath /lib -Wl,-rpath /usr/local/lib

133940266059SGregory Neil Shapiro	your compiler settings or use cc instead of xlc.

134140266059SGregory Neil ShapiroAIX 4.0-4.2, maybe some AIX 4.3 versions
134240266059SGregory Neil Shapiro	The AIX m4 implements a different mechanism for ifdef which is
134340266059SGregory Neil Shapiro	inconsistent with other versions of m4.  Therefore, it will not

1402c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	Subject:   Notes for DELL SVR4
1403c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
1404c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	Eric,
1405c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
1406c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	Here are some notes for compiling Sendmail 8.6.4 on DELL SVR4.  I ran
1407c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	across these things when helping out some people who contacted me by
1408c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	e-mail.
1409c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
1410c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	1) Use gcc 2.4.5 (or later?).  Dell distributes gcc 2.1 with their
1411c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	   Issue 2.2 Unix.  It is too old, and gives you problems with
1412c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	   clock.c, because sigset_t won't get defined in <sys/signal.h>.
1413c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	   This is due to a problematic protection rule in there, and is
1414c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	   fixed with gcc 2.4.5.
1415c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
1416c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	2) If you don't use the new Berkeley DB (-DNEWDB), then you need
1417c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	   to add "-lc -lucb" to the libraries to link with.  This is because
1418c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	   the -ldbm distributed by Dell needs the bcopy, bcmp and bzero
1419c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	   functions.  It is important that you specify both libraries in
1420c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	   the given order to be sure you only get the BSTRING functions
1421c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	   from the UCB library (and not the signal routines etc.).
1422c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
1423c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	3) Don't leave out "-lelf" even if compiling with "-lc -lucb".
1424c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	   The UCB library also has another copy of the nlist routines,
1425c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	   but we do want the ones from "-lelf".
1426c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
1427c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	If anyone needs a compiled gcc 2.4.5 and/or a ported DB library, they
1428c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	can use anonymous ftp to fetch them from lut.fi in the /kim directory.
1429c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	They are copies of what I use on grendel.lut.fi, and offering them
1430c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	does not imply that I would also support them.  I have sent the DB
1431c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	port for SVR4 back to Keith Bostic for inclusion in the official
1432c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	distribution, but I haven't heard anything from him as of today.
1433c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
1434c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	- gcc-2.4.5-svr4.tar.gz	(gcc 2.4.5 and the corresponding libg++)
1435c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	- db-1.72.tar.gz	(with source, objects and a installed copy)

1444c2aa98e2SPeter WemmConvexOS 10.1 and below
1445c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	In order to use the name server, you must create the file
1446c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	/etc/use_nameserver.  If this file does not exist, the call
1447c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	to res_init() will fail and you will have absolutely no
1448c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	access to DNS, including MX records.

1450c2aa98e2SPeter WemmAmdahl UTS 2.1.5
1451c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	In order to get UTS to work, you will have to port BIND 4.9.
1452c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	The vendor's BIND is reported to be ``totally inadequate.''
1453c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	See sendmail/contrib/AmdahlUTS.patch for the patches necessary

1456c2aa98e2SPeter WemmUnixWare
1457c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	According to Alexander Kolbasov <sasha@unitech.gamma.ru>,
1458c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	the m4 on UnixWare 2.0 (still in Beta) will core dump on the

1460c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
1461c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	According to Larry Rosenman <ler@lerami.lerctr.org>:
1462c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
1463c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		UnixWare 2.1.[23]'s m4 chokes (not obviously) when
1464c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		processing the 8.9.0 cf files.
1465c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
1466c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		I had a LOCAL_RULE_0 that wound up AFTER the
1467c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		SBasic_check_rcpt rules using the SCO supplied M4.
1468c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		GNU M4 works fine.

149240266059SGregory Neil Shapiro
149340266059SGregory Neil Shapiro	The easiest workaround is to remove the group-writable permission
149440266059SGregory Neil Shapiro	for the root directory and the symbolic /etc inherits this
149540266059SGregory Neil Shapiro	change. While this does fix sendmail, the unfortunate side-effect
149640266059SGregory Neil Shapiro	is the OS X admin will no longer be able to manipulate icons in the
149740266059SGregory Neil Shapiro	top level of the Startup disk unless logged into the GUI as the
149840266059SGregory Neil Shapiro	superuser.
149940266059SGregory Neil Shapiro
150040266059SGregory Neil Shapiro	In applying the alternate workaround, care must be taken while
150140266059SGregory Neil Shapiro	swapping the symlink /etc with the directory /private/etc. In all
150240266059SGregory Neil Shapiro	likelihood any admin who is concerned with this sendmail error has
150340266059SGregory Neil Shapiro	enough experience to not accidentally harm anything in the process.
150440266059SGregory Neil Shapiro
150540266059SGregory Neil Shapiro	a. Swap the /etc symlink with /private/etc (as superuser):
150640266059SGregory Neil Shapiro	   rm /etc

1514c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	I'm told that GNU getopt has a problem in that it gets confused

1518c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	If you are running on Ultrix, be sure you read conf/Info.Ultrix
1519c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	in the BIND distribution very carefully -- there is information
1520c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	in there that you need to know in order to avoid errors of the
1521c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	form:

153206f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro	DNS failures when trying to find the hostname associated with an IP
153306f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro	address (gethostbyaddr()).  This can cause problems as
153406f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro	$&{client_name} based lookups in class R ($=R) and the access
153506f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro	database won't succeed.
153606f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro
153706f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro	This will be fixed in BIND 8.2.1.  For earlier versions, this can
153806f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro	be fixed by making "dns" the last name service queried for host

1634c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
1635c2aa98e2SPeter WemmAs of 8.6.5, sendmail daemons will catch a SIGUSR1 signal and log
1636c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmsome debugging output (logged at LOG_DEBUG severity).  The
1637c2aa98e2SPeter Wemminformation dumped is:
1638c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
1639c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm * The value of the $j macro.
1640c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm * A warning if $j is not in the set $=w.
1641c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm * A list of the open file descriptors.
1642c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm * The contents of the connection cache.
1643c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm * If ruleset 89 is defined, it is evaluated and the results printed.
1644c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
1645c2aa98e2SPeter WemmThis allows you to get information regarding the runtime state of the
1646c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmdaemon on the fly.  This should not be done too frequently, since
1647c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmthe process of rewriting may lose memory which will not be recovered.
1648c2aa98e2SPeter WemmAlso, ruleset 89 may call non-reentrant routines, so there is a small
1649c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmnon-zero probability that this will cause other problems.  It is
1650c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmreally only for debugging serious problems.
1651c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
1652c2aa98e2SPeter WemmA typical formulation of ruleset 89 would be:
1653c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
1654c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	R$*		$@ $>0 some test address
