18c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm!! DO NOT USE MAKE !!  in this directory to compile sendmail --
19c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm*********************  instead, use the "Build" script located in
2006f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapirothe sendmail directory.  It will build an appropriate Makefile, and
21c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmcreate an appropriate obj.* subdirectory so that multiplatform
22c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmsupport works easily.

41c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm| BUILDING SENDMAIL |
42c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm+-------------------+
43c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
44c2aa98e2SPeter WemmBy far, the easiest way to compile sendmail is to use the "Build"
45c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmscript:
46c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
47c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	sh Build
48c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
49c2aa98e2SPeter WemmThis uses the "uname" command to figure out what architecture you are
50c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmon and creates a proper Makefile accordingly.  It also creates a
51c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmsubdirectory per object format, so that multiarchitecture support is
52c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmeasy.  In general this should be all you need.  IRIX 6.x users should
53c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmread the note below in the OPERATING SYSTEM AND COMPILE QUIRKS section.
54c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
55c2aa98e2SPeter WemmIf you need to look at other include or library directories, use the
56c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm-I or -L flags on the command line, e.g.,
57c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
58c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	sh Build -I/usr/sww/include -L/usr/sww/lib
59c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
60c2aa98e2SPeter WemmIt's also possible to create local site configuration in the file
61c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmsite.config.m4 (or another file settable with the -f flag).  This
62c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmfile contains M4 definitions for various compilation values; the
63c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmmost useful are:
64c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
65c2aa98e2SPeter WemmconfMAPDEF	-D flags to specify database types to be included
66c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		(see below)
67c2aa98e2SPeter WemmconfENVDEF	-D flags to specify other environment information
68c2aa98e2SPeter WemmconfINCDIRS	-I flags for finding include files during compilation
69c2aa98e2SPeter WemmconfLIBDIRS	-L flags for finding libraries during linking
70c2aa98e2SPeter WemmconfLIBS	-l flags for selecting libraries during linking
71c2aa98e2SPeter WemmconfLDOPTS	other ld(1) linker options
72c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
73c2aa98e2SPeter WemmOthers can be found by examining Makefile.m4.  Please read
7406f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro../devtools/README for more information about the site.config.m4
75c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmfile.
76c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
77c2aa98e2SPeter WemmYou can recompile from scratch using the -c flag with the Build
78c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmcommand.  This removes the existing compilation directory for the
79c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmcurrent platform and builds a new one.
80c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
81c2aa98e2SPeter WemmPorting to a new Unix-based system should be a matter of creating
8206f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiroan appropriate configuration file in the devtools/OS/ directory.

86c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm+----------------------+
87c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm| DATABASE DEFINITIONS |
88c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm+----------------------+
89c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
90c2aa98e2SPeter WemmThere are several database formats that can be used for the alias files
91c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmand for general maps.  When used for alias files they interact in an
92c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmattempt to be backward compatible.
93c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
94c2aa98e2SPeter WemmThe options are:
95c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
96c2aa98e2SPeter WemmNEWDB		The new Berkeley DB package.  Some systems (e.g., BSD/OS and
97c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		Digital UNIX 4.0) have some version of this package
98c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		pre-installed.  If your system does not have Berkeley DB
99c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		pre-installed, or the version installed is not version 2.0
100c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		or greater (e.g., is Berkeley DB 1.85 or 1.86), get the
101c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		current version from http://www.sleepycat.com/.  DO NOT
102c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		use a version from any of the University of California,
103c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		Berkeley "Net" or other distributions.  If you are still
104c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		running BSD/386 1.x, you will need to upgrade the included
105c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		Berkeley DB library to a current version.  NEWDB is included
106c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		automatically if the Build script can find a library named
10706f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro		libdb.a or libdb.so.
108c2aa98e2SPeter WemmNDBM		The older NDBM implementation -- the very old V7 DBM
109c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		implementation is no longer supported.
110c2aa98e2SPeter WemmNIS		Network Information Services.  To use this you must have
111c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		NIS support on your system.
112c2aa98e2SPeter WemmNISPLUS		NIS+ (the revised NIS released with Solaris 2).  You must
113c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		have NIS+ support on your system to use this flag.
114c2aa98e2SPeter WemmHESIOD		Support for Hesiod (from the DEC/Athena distribution).  You
115c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		must already have Hesiod support on your system for this to
116c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		work.  You may be able to get this to work with the MIT/Athena
117c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		version of Hesiod, but that's likely to be a lot of work.
11806f25ae9SGregory Neil ShapiroLDAPMAP		Lightweight Directory Access Protocol support.  You will
11906f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro		have to install the UMich or OpenLDAP
12006f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro		(http://www.openldap.org/) ldap and lber libraries to use
12106f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro		this flag.
122c2aa98e2SPeter WemmMAP_REGEX	Regular Expression support.  You will need to use an
123c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		operating system which comes with the POSIX regex()
124c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		routines or install a regexp library such as libregex from
125c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		the Free Software Foundation.
12606f25ae9SGregory Neil ShapiroPH_MAP		PH map support.  You will need the qi PH package.
12706f25ae9SGregory Neil ShapiroMAP_NSD		nsd map support (IRIX 6.5 and later).
128c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
129c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm>>>  NOTE WELL for NEWDB support: If you want to get ndbm support, for
130c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm>>>  Berkeley DB versions under 2.0, it is CRITICAL that you remove
131c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm>>>  ndbm.o from libdb.a before you install it and DO NOT install ndbm.h;
132c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm>>>  for Berkeley DB versions 2.0 through 2.3.14, remove dbm.o from libdb.a
133c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm>>>  before you install it.  If you don't delete these, there is absolutely
134c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm>>>  no point to including -DNDBM, since it will just get you another
135c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm>>>  (inferior) API to the same format database.  These files OVERRIDE
136c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm>>>  calls to ndbm routines -- in particular, if you leave ndbm.h in,
137c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm>>>  you can find yourself using the new db package even if you don't
138c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm>>>  define NEWDB.  Berkeley DB versions later than 2.3.14 do not need
139c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm>>>  to be modified.  Please also consult the README in the top level
140c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm>>>  directory of the sendmail distribution for other important information.
141c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm>>>
142c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm>>>  Further note: DO NOT remove your existing /usr/include/ndbm.h --
143c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm>>>  you need that one.  But do not install an updated ndbm.h in
144c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm>>>  /usr/include, /usr/local/include, or anywhere else.
145c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
146c2aa98e2SPeter WemmIf NEWDB and NDBM are defined (but not NIS), then sendmail will read
147c2aa98e2SPeter WemmNDBM format alias files, but the next time a newaliases is run the
148c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmformat will be converted to NEWDB; that format will be used forever
149c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmmore.  This is intended as a transition feature.
150c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
151c2aa98e2SPeter WemmIf NEWDB, NDBM, and NIS are all defined and the name of the file includes
152c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmthe string "/yp/", sendmail will rebuild BOTH the NEWDB and NDBM format
153c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmalias files.  However, it will only read the NEWDB file; the NDBM format
154c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmfile is used only by the NIS subsystem.  This is needed because the NIS
155c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmmaps on an NIS server are built directly from the NDBM files.
156c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
157c2aa98e2SPeter WemmIf NDBM and NIS are defined (regardless of the definition of NEWDB),
158c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmand the filename includes the string "/yp/", sendmail adds the special
159c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmtokens "YP_LAST_MODIFIED" and "YP_MASTER_NAME", both of which are
160c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmrequired if the NDBM file is to be used as an NIS map.
161c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
162c2aa98e2SPeter WemmAll of these flags are normally defined in the DBMDEF line in the
163c2aa98e2SPeter WemmMakefile.
164c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
165c2aa98e2SPeter WemmIf you define NEWDB or HESIOD you get the User Database (USERDB)
166c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmautomatically.  Generally you do want to have NEWDB for it to do
167c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmanything interesting.  See above for getting the Berkeley DB
168c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmpackage (i.e., NEWDB).  There is no separate "user database"
169c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmpackage -- don't bother searching for it on the net.
170c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
171c2aa98e2SPeter WemmHesiod and LDAP require libraries that may not be installed with your
172c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmsystem.  These are outside of my ability to provide support.  See the
173c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm"Quirks" section for more information.
174c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
175c2aa98e2SPeter WemmThe regex map can be used to see if an address matches a certain regular
176c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmexpression.  For example, all-numerics local parts are common spam
177c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmaddresses, so "^[0-9]+$" would match this.  By using such a map in a
178c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmcheck_* rule-set, you can block a certain range of addresses that would
179c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmotherwise be considered valid.
180c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
181c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm+---------------+
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.
204c2aa98e2SPeter WemmHASFCHMOD	Define this to one if you have the fchmod(2) system call.
205c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		This improves security.
20606f25ae9SGregory Neil ShapiroHASFCHOWN	Define this to one if you have the fchown(2) system call.
20706f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro		This is required for the TrustedUser option.
208c2aa98e2SPeter WemmHASFLOCK	Set this if you prefer to use the flock(2) system call
209c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		rather than using fcntl-based locking.  Fcntl locking
210c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		has some semantic gotchas, but many vendor systems
211c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		also interface it to lockd(8) to do NFS-style locking.
212c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		Unfortunately, may vendors implementations of fcntl locking
213c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		is just plain broken (e.g., locks are never released,
214c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		causing your sendmail to deadlock; when the kernel runs
215c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		out of locks your system crashes).  For this reason, I
216c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		recommend always defining this unless you are absolutely
217c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		certain that your fcntl locking implementation really works.
218c2aa98e2SPeter WemmHASUNAME	Set if you have the "uname" system call.  Implied by
219c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		SYSTEM5.
220c2aa98e2SPeter WemmHASUNSETENV	Define this if your system library has the "unsetenv"
221c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		subroutine.
222c2aa98e2SPeter WemmHASSETSID	Define this if you have the setsid(2) system call.  This
223c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		is implied if your system appears to be POSIX compliant.
224c2aa98e2SPeter WemmHASINITGROUPS	Define this if you have the initgroups(3) routine.
225c2aa98e2SPeter WemmHASSETVBUF	Define this if you have the setvbuf(3) library call.
226c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		If you don't, setlinebuf will be used instead.  This
227c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		defaults on if your compiler defines __STDC__.
228c2aa98e2SPeter WemmHASSETREUID	Define this if you have setreuid(2) ***AND*** root can
229c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		use setreuid to change to an arbitrary user.  This second
230c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		condition is not satisfied on AIX 3.x.  You may find that
231c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		your system has setresuid(2), (for example, on HP-UX) in
232c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		which case you will also have to #define setreuid(r, e)
233c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		to be the appropriate call.  Some systems (such as Solaris)
234c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		have a compatibility routine that doesn't work properly,
235c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		but may have "saved user ids" properly implemented so you
236c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		can ``#define setreuid(r, e) seteuid(e)'' and have it work.
237c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		The important thing is that you have a call that will set
238c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		the effective uid independently of the real or saved uid
239c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		and be able to set the effective uid back again when done.
240c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		There's a test program in ../test/t_setreuid.c that will
241c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		try things on your system.  Setting this improves the
242c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		security, since sendmail doesn't have to read .forward
243c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		and :include: files as root.  There are certain attacks
244c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		that may be unpreventable without this call.
245c2aa98e2SPeter WemmUSESETEUID	Define this to 1 if you have a seteuid(2) system call that
246c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		will allow root to set only the effective user id to an
247c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		arbitrary value ***AND*** you have saved user ids.  This is
248c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		preferable to HASSETREUID if these conditions are fulfilled.
249c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		These are the semantics of the to-be-released revision of
250c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		Posix.1.  The test program ../test/t_seteuid.c will try
251c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		this out on your system.  If you define both HASSETREUID
252c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		and USESETEUID, the former is ignored.
253c2aa98e2SPeter WemmHASLSTAT	Define this if you have symbolic links (and thus the
254c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		lstat(2) system call).  This improves security.  Unlike
255c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		most other options, this one is on by default, so you
256c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		need to #undef it in conf.h if you don't have symbolic
257c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		links (these days everyone does).
258c2aa98e2SPeter WemmHASSETRLIMIT	Define this to 1 if you have the setrlimit(2) syscall.
259c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		You can define it to 0 to force it off.  It is assumed
260c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		if you are running a BSD-like system.
261c2aa98e2SPeter WemmHASULIMIT	Define this if you have the ulimit(2) syscall (System V
262c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		style systems).  HASSETRLIMIT overrides, as it is more
263c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		general.
264c2aa98e2SPeter WemmHASWAITPID	Define this if you have the waitpid(2) syscall.
265c2aa98e2SPeter WemmHASGETDTABLESIZE
266c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		Define this if you have the getdtablesize(2) syscall.
267c2aa98e2SPeter WemmHAS_ST_GEN	Define this to 1 if your system has the st_gen field in
268c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		the stat structure (see stat(2)).
26906f25ae9SGregory Neil ShapiroHASSRANDOMDEV	Define this if your system has the srandomdev(3) function
27006f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro		call.
27106f25ae9SGregory Neil ShapiroHASURANDOMDEV	Define this if your system has /dev/urandom(4).
27206f25ae9SGregory Neil ShapiroHASSTRERROR	Define this if you have the libc strerror(3) function (which
273c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		should be declared in <errno.h>), and it should be used
274c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		instead of sys_errlist.
275c2aa98e2SPeter WemmNEEDGETOPT	Define this if you need a reimplementation of getopt(3).
276c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		On some systems, getopt does very odd things if called
277c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		to scan the arguments twice.  This flag will ask sendmail
278c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		to compile in a local version of getopt that works
279c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		properly.
280c2aa98e2SPeter WemmNEEDSTRTOL	Define this if your standard C library does not define
281c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		strtol(3).  This will compile in a local version.
282c2aa98e2SPeter WemmNEEDVPRINTF	Define this if your standard C library does not define
283c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		vprintf(3).  Note that the resulting fake implementation
284c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		is not very elegant and may not even work on some
285c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		architectures.
286c2aa98e2SPeter WemmNEEDFSYNC	Define this if your standard C library does not define
287c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		fsync(2).  This will try to simulate the operation using
288c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		fcntl(2); if that is not available it does nothing, which
289c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		isn't great, but at least it compiles and runs.
290c2aa98e2SPeter WemmHASGETUSERSHELL	Define this to 1 if you have getusershell(3) in your
291c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		standard C library.  If this is not defined, or is defined
292c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		to be 0, sendmail will scan the /etc/shells file (no
293c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		NIS-style support, defaults to /bin/sh and /bin/csh if
294c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		that file does not exist) to get a list of unrestricted
295c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		user shells.  This is used to determine whether users
296c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		are allowed to forward their mail to a program or a file.
297c2aa98e2SPeter WemmNEEDPUTENV	Define this if your system needs am emulation of the
298c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		putenv(3) call.  Define to 1 to implement it in terms
299c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		of setenv(3) or to 2 to do it in terms of primitives.
300c2aa98e2SPeter WemmNOFTRUNCATE	Define this if you don't have the ftruncate(2) syscall.
301c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		If you don't have this system call, there is an unavoidable
302c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		race condition that occurs when creating alias databases.
303c2aa98e2SPeter WemmGIDSET_T	The type of entries in a gidset passed as the second
304c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		argument to getgroups(2).  Historically this has been an
305c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		int, so this is the default, but some systems (such as
306c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		IRIX) pass it as a gid_t, which is an unsigned short.
307c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		This will make a difference, so it is important to get
308c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		this right!  However, it is only an issue if you have
309c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		group sets.
310c2aa98e2SPeter WemmSLEEP_T		The type returned by the system sleep() function.
311c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		Defaults to "unsigned int".  Don't worry about this
312c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		if you don't have compilation problems.
313c2aa98e2SPeter WemmARBPTR_T	The type of an arbitrary pointer -- defaults to "void *".
314c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		If you are an very old compiler you may need to define
315c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		this to be "char *".
316c2aa98e2SPeter WemmSOCKADDR_LEN_T	The type used for the third parameter to accept(2),
317c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		getsockname(2), and getpeername(2), representing the
318c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		length of a struct sockaddr.  Defaults to int.
319c2aa98e2SPeter WemmSOCKOPT_LEN_T	The type used for the fifth parameter to getsockopt(2)
320c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		and setsockopt(2), representing the length of the option
321c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		buffer.  Defaults to int.
322c2aa98e2SPeter WemmLA_TYPE		The type of load average your kernel supports.  These
323c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		can be one of:
324c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		 LA_ZERO (1) -- it always returns the load average as
325c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm			"zero" (and does so on all architectures).
326c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		 LA_INT (2) to read /dev/kmem for the symbol avenrun and
327c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm			interpret as a long integer.
328c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		 LA_FLOAT (3) same, but interpret the result as a floating
329c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm			point number.
330c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		 LA_SHORT (6) to interpret as a short integer.
331c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		 LA_SUBR (4) if you have the getloadavg(3) routine in your
332c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm			system library.
333c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		 LA_MACH (5) to use MACH-style load averages (calls
334c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm			processor_set_info()),
335c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		 LA_PROCSTR (7) to read /proc/loadavg and interpret it
336c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm			as a string representing a floating-point
337c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm			number (Linux-style).
338c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		 LA_READKSYM (8) is an implementation suitable for some
339c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm			versions of SVr4 that uses the MIOC_READKSYM ioctl
340c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm			call to read /dev/kmem.
341c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		 LA_DGUX (9) is a special implementation for DG/UX that uses
342c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm			the dg_sys_info system call.
343c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		 LA_HPUX (10) is an HP-UX specific version that uses the
344c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm			pstat_getdynamic system call.
345c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		 LA_IRIX6 (11) is an IRIX 6.x specific version that adapts
346c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm			to 32 or 64 bit kernels; it is otherwise very similar
347c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm			to LA_INT.
348c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		 LA_KSTAT (12) uses the (Solaris-specific) kstat(3k)
349c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm			implementation.
350c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		 LA_DEVSHORT (13) reads a short from a system file (default:
351c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm			/dev/table/avenrun) and scales it in the same manner
352c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm			as LA_SHORT.
353c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		LA_INT, LA_SHORT, LA_FLOAT, and LA_READKSYM have several
354c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		other parameters that they try to divine: the name of your
355c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		kernel, the name of the variable in the kernel to examine,
356c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		the number of bits of precision in a fixed point load average,
357c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		and so forth.  LA_DEVSHORT uses _PATH_AVENRUN to find the
358c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		device to be read to find the load average.
359c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		In desperation, use LA_ZERO.  The actual code is in
360c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		conf.c -- it can be tweaked if you are brave.
361c2aa98e2SPeter WemmFSHIFT		For LA_INT, LA_SHORT, and LA_READKSYM, this is the number
362c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		of bits of load average after the binary point -- i.e.,
363c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		the number of bits to shift right in order to scale the
364c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		integer to get the true integer load average.  Defaults to 8.
365c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm_PATH_UNIX	The path to your kernel.  Needed only for LA_INT, LA_SHORT,
366c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		and LA_FLOAT.  Defaults to "/unix" on System V, "/vmunix"
367c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		everywhere else.
368c2aa98e2SPeter WemmLA_AVENRUN	For LA_INT, LA_SHORT, and LA_FLOAT, the name of the kernel
369c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		variable that holds the load average.  Defaults to "avenrun"
370c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		on System V, "_avenrun" everywhere else.
371c2aa98e2SPeter WemmSFS_TYPE	Encodes how your kernel can locate the amount of free
372c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		space on a disk partition.  This can be set to SFS_NONE
373c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		(0) if you have no way of getting this information,
374c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		SFS_USTAT (1) if you have the ustat(2) system call,
375c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		SFS_4ARGS (2) if you have a four-argument statfs(2)
376c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		system call (and the include file is <sys/statfs.h>),
377c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		SFS_VFS (3), SFS_MOUNT (4), SFS_STATFS (5) if you have
378c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		the two-argument statfs(2) system call with includes in
379c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		<sys/vfs.h>, <sys/mount.h>, or <sys/statfs.h> respectively,
380c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		or SFS_STATVFS (6) if you have the two-argument statvfs(2)
381c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		call.  The default if nothing is defined is SFS_NONE.
382c2aa98e2SPeter WemmSFS_BAVAIL	with SFS_4ARGS you can also set SFS_BAVAIL to the field name
383c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		in the statfs structure that holds the useful information;
384c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		this defaults to f_bavail.
385c2aa98e2SPeter WemmSPT_TYPE	Encodes how your system can display what a process is doing
386c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		on a ps(1) command (SPT stands for Set Process Title).  Can
387c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		be set to:
388c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		SPT_NONE (0) -- Don't try to set the process title at all.
389c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		SPT_REUSEARGV (1) -- Pad out your argv with the information;
390c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm			this is the default if none specified.
391c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		SPT_BUILTIN (2) -- The system library has setproctitle.
392c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		SPT_PSTAT (3) -- Use the PSTAT_SETCMD option to pstat(2)
393c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm			to set the process title; this is used by HP-UX.
394c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		SPT_PSSTRINGS (4) -- Use the magic PS_STRINGS pointer (4.4BSD).
395c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		SPT_SYSMIPS (5) -- Use sysmips() supported by NEWS-OS 6.
396c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		SPT_SCO (6) -- Write kernel u. area.
397c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		SPT_CHANGEARGV (7) -- Write pointers to our own strings into
398c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm			the existing argv vector.
399c2aa98e2SPeter WemmSPT_PADCHAR	Character used to pad the process title; if undefined,
400c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		the space character (0x20) is used.  This is ignored if
401c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		SPT_TYPE != SPT_REUSEARGV
402c2aa98e2SPeter WemmERRLIST_PREDEFINED
403c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		If set, assumes that some header file defines sys_errlist.
404c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		This may be needed if you get type conflicts on this
405c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		variable -- otherwise don't worry about it.
406c2aa98e2SPeter WemmWAITUNION	The wait(2) routine takes a "union wait" argument instead
407c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		of an integer argument.  This is for compatibility with
408c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		old versions of BSD.
409c2aa98e2SPeter WemmSCANF		You can set this to extend the F command to accept a
410c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		scanf string -- this gives you a primitive parser for
411c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		class definitions -- BUT it can make you vulnerable to
412c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		core dumps if the target file is poorly formed.
413c2aa98e2SPeter WemmSYSLOG_BUFSIZE	You can define this to be the size of the buffer that
414c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		syslog accepts.  If it is not defined, it assumes a
415c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		1024-byte buffer.  If the buffer is very small (under
416c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		256 bytes) the log message format changes -- each
417c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		e-mail message will log many more messages, since it
418c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		will log each piece of information as a separate line
419c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		in syslog.
420c2aa98e2SPeter WemmBROKEN_RES_SEARCH
421c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		On Ultrix (and maybe other systems?) if you use the
422c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		res_search routine with an unknown host name, it returns
423c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		-1 but sets h_errno to 0 instead of HOST_NOT_FOUND.  If
424c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		you set this, sendmail considers 0 to be the same as
425c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		HOST_NOT_FOUND.
426c2aa98e2SPeter WemmNAMELISTMASK	If defined, values returned by nlist(3) are masked
427c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		against this value before use -- a common value is
428c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		0x7fffffff to strip off the top bit.
429c2aa98e2SPeter WemmBSD4_4_SOCKADDR	If defined, socket addresses have an sa_len field that
430c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		defines the length of this address.
431c2aa98e2SPeter WemmSAFENFSPATHCONF	Set this to 1 if and only if you have verified that a
432c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		pathconf(2) call with _PC_CHOWN_RESTRICTED argument on an
433c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		NFS filesystem where the underlying system allows users to
434c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		give away files to other users returns <= 0.  Be sure you
435c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		try both on NFS V2 and V3.  Some systems assume that their
436c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		local policy apply to NFS servers -- this is a bad
437c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		assumption!  The test/t_pathconf.c program will try this
438c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		for you -- you have to run it in a directory that is
439c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		mounted from a server that allows file giveaway.
440c2aa98e2SPeter WemmSIOCGIFCONF_IS_BROKEN
441c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		Set this if your system has an SIOCGIFCONF ioctl defined,
442c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		but it doesn't behave the same way as "most" systems (BSD,
443c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		Solaris, SunOS, HP-UX, etc.)
444c2aa98e2SPeter WemmSIOCGIFNUM_IS_BROKEN
445c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		Set this if your system has an SIOCGIFNUM ioctl defined,
446c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		but it doesn't behave the same way as "most" systems
447c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		(Solaris, HP-UX).
448c2aa98e2SPeter WemmNEED_PERCENTQ	Set this if your system doesn't support the printf
449c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		format strings %lld or %llu.  If this is set, %qd and
450c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		%qu are used instead.
45106f25ae9SGregory Neil ShapiroFAST_PID_RECYCLE
45206f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro		Set this if your system can reuse the same PID in the same
45306f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro		second.
45406f25ae9SGregory Neil ShapiroSO_REUSEADDR_IS_BROKEN
45506f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro		Set this if your system has a setsockopt() SO_REUSEADDR
45606f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro		flag but doesn't pay attention to it when trying to bind a
45706f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro		socket to a recently closed port.
45806f25ae9SGregory Neil ShapiroSNPRINTF_IS_BROKEN
45906f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro		Set this if your system has an snprintf() implementation
46006f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro		which does not NUL terminate the string being filled in.
46106f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro		Use test/t_snprintf.c to test your system.
4628774250cSGregory Neil ShapiroNEEDSGETIPNODE	Set this if your system supports IPv6 but doesn't include
4638774250cSGregory Neil Shapiro		the getipnodeby{name,addr}() functions.  Set automatically
4648774250cSGregory Neil Shapiro		for Linux's glibc.

466c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm+-----------------------+
467c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm| COMPILE-TIME FEATURES |
468c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm+-----------------------+
469c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
470c2aa98e2SPeter WemmThere are a bunch of features that you can decide to compile in, such
471c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmas selecting various database packages and special protocol support.
472c2aa98e2SPeter WemmSeveral are assumed based on other compilation flags -- if you want to
473c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm"un-assume" something, you probably need to edit conf.h.  Compilation
474c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmflags that add support for special features include:
475c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
476c2aa98e2SPeter WemmNDBM		Include support for "new" DBM library for aliases and maps.
477c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		Normally defined in the Makefile.
478c2aa98e2SPeter WemmNEWDB		Include support for Berkeley DB package (hash & btree)
479c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		for aliases and maps.  Normally defined in the Makefile.
480c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		If the version of NEWDB you have is the old one that does
481c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		not include the "fd" call (this call was added in version
482c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		1.5 of the Berkeley DB code), you must upgrade to the
483c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		current version of Berkeley DB.
484c2aa98e2SPeter WemmNIS		Define this to get NIS (YP) support for aliases and maps.
485c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		Normally defined in the Makefile.
486c2aa98e2SPeter WemmNISPLUS		Define this to get NIS+ support for aliases and maps.
487c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		Normally defined in the Makefile.
488c2aa98e2SPeter WemmHESIOD		Define this to get Hesiod support for aliases and maps.
489c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		Normally defined in the Makefile.
490c2aa98e2SPeter WemmNETINFO		Define this to get NeXT NetInfo support for aliases and maps.
491c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		Normally defined in the Makefile.
49206f25ae9SGregory Neil ShapiroLDAPMAP		Define this to get LDAP support for maps.
49306f25ae9SGregory Neil ShapiroPH_MAP		Define this to get PH support for maps.
49406f25ae9SGregory Neil ShapiroMAP_NSD		Define this to get nsd support for maps.
495c2aa98e2SPeter WemmUSERDB		Define this to 1 to include support for the User Information
496c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		Database.  Implied by NEWDB or HESIOD.  You can use
497c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		-DUSERDB=0 to explicitly turn it off.
498c2aa98e2SPeter WemmIDENTPROTO	Define this as 1 to get IDENT (RFC 1413) protocol support.
499c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		This is assumed unless you are running on Ultrix or
500c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		HP-UX, both of which have a problem in the UDP
501c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		implementation.  You can define it to be 0 to explicitly
502c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		turn off IDENT protocol support.  If defined off, the code
503c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		is actually still compiled in, but it defaults off; you
50406f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro		can turn it on by setting the IDENT timeout in the
505c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		configuration file.
506c2aa98e2SPeter WemmIP_SRCROUTE	Define this to 1 to get IP source routing information
507c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		displayed in the Received: header.  This is assumed on
508c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		most systems, but some (e.g., Ultrix) apparently have a
509c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		broken version of getsockopt that doesn't properly
510c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		support the IP_OPTIONS call.  You probably want this if
511c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		your OS can cope with it.  Symptoms of failure will be that
512c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		it won't compile properly (that is, no support for fetching
513c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		IP_OPTIONs), or it compiles but source-routed TCP connections
514c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		either refuse to open or open and hang for no apparent reason.
515c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		Ultrix and AIX3 are known to fail this way.
516c2aa98e2SPeter WemmLOG		Set this to get syslog(3) support.  Defined by default
517c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		in conf.h.  You want this if at all possible.
518c2aa98e2SPeter WemmNETINET		Set this to get TCP/IP support.  Defined by default
519c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		in conf.h.  You probably want this.
52006f25ae9SGregory Neil ShapiroNETINET6	Set this to get IPv6 support.  Other configuration may
52106f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro		be needed in conf.h for your particular operating system.
52206f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro		Also, DaemonPortOptions must be set appropriately for
52306f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro		sendmail to accept IPv6 connections.
524c2aa98e2SPeter WemmNETISO		Define this to get ISO networking support.
525c2aa98e2SPeter WemmNETUNIX		Define this to get Unix domain networking support.  Defined
526c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		by default.  A few bizarre systems (SCO, ISC, Altos) don't
527c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		support this networking domain.
52806f25ae9SGregory Neil ShapiroNETNS		Define this to get NS networking support.
52906f25ae9SGregory Neil ShapiroNETX25		Define this to get X.25 networking support.
530c2aa98e2SPeter WemmSMTP		Define this to get the SMTP code.  Implied by NETINET
531c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		or NETISO.
532c2aa98e2SPeter WemmNAMED_BIND	If non-zero, include DNS (name daemon) support, including
533c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		MX support.  The specs say you must use this if you run
534c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		SMTP.  You don't have to be running a name server daemon
535c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		on your machine to need this -- any use of the DNS resolver,
536c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		including remote access to another machine, requires this
537c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		option.  Defined by default in conf.h.  Define it to zero
538c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		ONLY on machines that do not use DNS in any way.
539c2aa98e2SPeter WemmQUEUE		Define this to get queueing code.  Implied by NETINET
540c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		or NETISO; required by SMTP.  This gives you other good
541c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		stuff -- it should be on.
542c2aa98e2SPeter WemmDAEMON		Define this to get general network support.  Implied by
543c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		NETINET or NETISO.  Defined by default in conf.h.  You
544c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		almost certainly want it on.
545c2aa98e2SPeter WemmMATCHGECOS	Permit fuzzy matching of user names against the full
546c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		name (GECOS) field in the /etc/passwd file.  This should
547c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		probably be on, since you can disable it from the config

549c2aa98e2SPeter WemmMIME8TO7	If non-zero, include 8 to 7 bit MIME conversions.  This
550c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		also controls advertisement of 8BITMIME in the ESMTP
551c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		startup dialogue.
552c2aa98e2SPeter WemmMIME7TO8	If non-zero, include 7 to 8 bit MIME conversions.
553c2aa98e2SPeter WemmHES_GETMAILHOST	Define this to 1 if you are using Hesiod with the
554c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		hes_getmailhost() routine.  This is included with the MIT
555c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		Hesiod distribution, but not with the DEC Hesiod distribution.
556c2aa98e2SPeter WemmXDEBUG		Do additional internal checking.  These don't cost too
557c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		much; you might as well leave this on.
558c2aa98e2SPeter WemmTCPWRAPPERS	Turns on support for the TCP wrappers library (-lwrap).
559c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		See below for further information.
560c2aa98e2SPeter WemmSECUREWARE	Enable calls to the SecureWare luid enabling/changing routines.
561c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		SecureWare is a C2 security package added to several UNIX's
562c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		(notably ConvexOS) to get a C2 Secure system.  This
563c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		option causes mail delivery to be done with the luid of the
564c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		recipient.
565c2aa98e2SPeter WemmSHARE_V1	Support for the fair share scheduler, version 1.  Setting to
566c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		1 causes final delivery to be done using the recipients
567c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		resource limitations.  So far as I know, this is only
568c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		supported on ConvexOS.
56906f25ae9SGregory Neil ShapiroSASL		Enables SMTP AUTH (RFC 2554). This requires the Cyrus SASL
57006f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro		library (ftp://ftp.andrew.cmu.edu/pub/cyrus-mail/).  Please
57106f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro		install at least version 1.5.13.  See below for further
57206f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro		information: SASL COMPILATION AND CONFIGURATION.  If your
57306f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro		SASL library is older than 1.5.10, you have to set this
57406f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro		to its version number using a simple conversion:  a.b.c
57506f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro		-> c + b*100 + a*10000, e.g. for 1.5.9 define SASL=10509.
57606f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro		Note: Using an older version than 1.5.5 of Cyrus SASL is
57706f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro		not supported. Starting with version 1.5.10, setting SASL=1
57806f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro		is sufficient. Any value other than 1 (or 0) will be
57906f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro		compared with the actual version found and if there is a
58006f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro		mismatch, compilation will fail.
58106f25ae9SGregory Neil ShapiroEGD		Define this if your system has EGD installed, see
58206f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro		http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/ . It should be used to
58306f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro		seed the PRNG for STARTTLS if HASURANDOMDEV is not defined.
58406f25ae9SGregory Neil ShapiroSTARTTLS	Enables SMTP STARTTLS (RFC 2487). This requires OpenSSL
58506f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro		(http://www.OpenSSL.org/) and sfio (see below).
58642e5d165SGregory Neil Shapiro		Use OpenSSL 0.9.5a or later (if compatible with this
58742e5d165SGregory Neil Shapiro		version), do not use 0.9.3.
58806f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro		See STARTTLS COMPILATION AND CONFIGURATION for further
58906f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro		information.
59006f25ae9SGregory Neil ShapiroTLS_NO_RSA	Turn off support for RSA algorithms in STARTTLS.
59106f25ae9SGregory Neil ShapiroSFIO		Uses sfio instead of stdio. sfio is available from AT&T
59206f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro		(http://www.research.att.com/sw/tools/sfio/).  If this
59306f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro		compile flag is set, confSTDIO_TYPE must be set to portable.
59406f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro		This compile flag is necessary for STARTTLS; it also
59506f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro		enables the security layer of SASL.  The sfio include file
59606f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro		stdio.h must be installed in a subdirectory called sfio,
59706f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro		i.e., if you install sfio in /usr/local, stdio.h should
59806f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro		be in /usr/local/include/sfio, and libsfio.a should be in
599193538b7SGregory Neil Shapiro		/usr/local/lib.  Notice: read the sfio section in

605c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm+---------------------+
606c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
607c2aa98e2SPeter WemmMany systems have old versions of the resolver library.  At a minimum,
608c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmyou should be running BIND 4.8.3; older versions may compile, but they
609c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmhave known bugs that should give you pause.
610c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
611c2aa98e2SPeter WemmCommon problems in old versions include "undefined" errors for
612c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmdn_skipname.
613c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
614c2aa98e2SPeter WemmSome people have had a problem with BIND 4.9; it uses some routines
615c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmthat it expects to be externally defined such as strerror().  It may
616c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmhelp to link with "-l44bsd" to solve this problem.  This has apparently
617c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmbeen fixed in later versions of BIND, starting around 4.9.3.  In other
618c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmwords, if you use 4.9.0 through 4.9.2, you need -l44bsd; for earlier or
619c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmlater versions, you do not.
620c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
621c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm!PLEASE! be sure to link with the same version of the resolver as
622c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmthe header files you used -- some people have used the 4.9 headers
623c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmand linked with BIND 4.8 or vice versa, and it doesn't work.
624c2aa98e2SPeter WemmUnfortunately, it doesn't fail in an obvious way -- things just
625c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmsubtly don't work.
626c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
627c2aa98e2SPeter WemmWILDCARD MX RECORDS ARE A BAD IDEA!  The only situation in which they
628c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmwork reliably is if you have two versions of DNS, one in the real world
629c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmwhich has a wildcard pointing to your firewall, and a completely
630c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmdifferent version of the database internally that does not include
631c2aa98e2SPeter Wemmwildcard MX records that match your domain.  ANYTHING ELSE WILL GIVE
632c2aa98e2SPeter WemmYOU HEADACHES!
633c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
634193538b7SGregory Neil ShapiroWhen attempting to canonify a hostname, some broken name servers will
635193538b7SGregory Neil Shapiroreturn SERVFAIL (a temporary failure) on T_AAAA (IPv6) lookups.  If you
636193538b7SGregory Neil Shapirowant to excuse this behavior, compile sendmail with
637602a2b1bSGregory Neil Shapiro-D_FFR_WORKAROUND_BROKEN_NAMESERVERS and add WorkAroundBrokenAAAA to your
638602a2b1bSGregory Neil ShapiroResolverOptions setting.  However, instead, we recommend catching the
639602a2b1bSGregory Neil Shapiroproblem and reporting it to the name server administrator so we can rid the
640602a2b1bSGregory Neil Shapiroworld of broken name servers.

713c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	**  RUNNING GCC 2.4.x or 2.5.x.  THERE IS A BUG IN THE GCC     **
714c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	**  OPTIMIZER THAT CAUSES SENDMAIL COMPILES TO FAIL MISERABLY. **
715c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	*****************************************************************
716c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
717c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	Jim Wilson of Cygnus believes he has found the problem -- it will
718c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	probably be fixed in GCC 2.5.6 -- but until this is verified, be
719c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	very suspicious of gcc -O.  This problem is reported to have been
720c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	fixed in gcc 2.6.
721c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
722c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	A bug in gcc 2.5.5 caused problems compiling sendmail 8.6.5 with
723c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	optimization on a Sparc.  If you are using gcc 2.5.5, youi should
724c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	upgrade to the latest version of gcc.
725c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
726c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	Apparently GCC 2.7.0 on the Pentium processor has optimization
727c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	problems.  I recommend against using -O on that architecture.  This
728c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	has been seen on FreeBSD 2.0.5 RELEASE.
729c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
730c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	Solaris 2.X users should use version 2.7.2.3 over 2.7.2.
731c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
732c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	We have been told there are problems with gcc 2.8.0.  If you are
733c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	using this version, you should upgrade to 2.8.1 or later.
734c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
735c2aa98e2SPeter WemmGDBM	GDBM does not work with sendmail 8.8 because the additional
736c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	security checks and file locking cause problems.  Unfortunately,
737c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	gdbm does not provide a compile flag in its version of ndbm.h so
738c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	the code can adapt.  Until the GDBM authors can fix these problems,
739c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	GDBM will not be supported.  Please use Berkeley DB instead.
740c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
741c2aa98e2SPeter WemmConfiguration file location
742c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	Up to 8.6, sendmail tried to find the sendmail.cf file in the same
743c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	place as the vendors had put it, even when this was obviously
744c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	stupid.  As of 8.7, sendmail ALWAYS looks for /etc/sendmail.cf.
74506f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro	Beginning with 8.10, sendmail uses /etc/mail/sendmail.cf.
746c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	You can get sendmail to use the stupid vendor .cf location by
747c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	adding -DUSE_VENDOR_CF_PATH during compilation, but this may break
748c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	support programs and scripts that need to find sendmail.cf.  You
749c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	are STRONGLY urged to use symbolic links if you want to use the
750c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	vendor location rather than changing the location in the sendmail
751c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	binary.
752c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
75306f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro	NETINFO systems use NETINFO to determine the location of
75406f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro	sendmail.cf. The full path to sendmail.cf is stored as the value of
75506f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro	the "sendmail.cf" property in the "/locations/sendmail"
75606f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro	subdirectory of NETINFO. Set the value of this property to
75706f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro	"/etc/mail/sendmail.cf" (without the quotes) to use this new
75806f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro	default location for Sendmail 8.10.0 and higher.

76006f25ae9SGregory Neil ShapiroControlSocket permissions
76106f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro	Paraphrased from BIND 8.2.1's README:
76206f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro
76306f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro	Solaris and other pre-4.4BSD kernels do not respect ownership or
76406f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro	protections on UNIX-domain sockets.  The short term fix for this is to
76506f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro	override the default path and put such control sockets into root-
76606f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro	owned directories which do not permit non-root to r/w/x through them.
76706f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro	The long term fix is for all kernels to upgrade to 4.4BSD semantics.
76806f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro
769c2aa98e2SPeter WemmSunOS 4.x (Solaris 1.x)
770c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	You may have to use -lresolv on SunOS.  However, beware that
771c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	this links in a new version of gethostbyname that does not
772c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	understand NIS, so you must have all of your hosts in DNS.
773c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
774c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	Some people have reported problems with the SunOS version of
775c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	-lresolv and/or in.named, and suggest that you get a newer
776c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	version.  The symptoms are delays when you connect to the
777c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	SMTP server on a SunOS machine or having your domain added to
778c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	addresses inappropriately.  There is a version of BIND
779c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	version 4.9 on gatekeeper.DEC.COM in pub/BSD/bind/4.9.
780c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
781c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	There is substantial disagreement about whether you can make
782c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	this work with resolv+, which allows you to specify a search-path
783c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	of services.  Some people report that it works fine, others
784c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	claim it doesn't work at all (including causing sendmail to
785c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	drop core when it tries to do multiple resolv+ lookups for a
786c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	single job).  I haven't tried resolv+, as we use DNS exclusively.
787c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
788c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	Should you want to try resolv+, it is on ftp.uu.net in
789c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	/networking/ip/dns.
790c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
791c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	Apparently getservbyname() can fail under moderate to high
792c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	load under some circumstances.  This will exhibit itself as
793c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	the message ``554 makeconnection: service "smtp" unknown''.
794c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	The problem has been traced to one or more blank lines in
795c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	/etc/services on the NIS server machine.  Delete these
796c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	and it should work.  This info is thanks to Brian Bartholomew
797c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	<bb@math.ufl.edu> of I-Kinetics, Inc.
798c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
79906f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro	NOTE: The SunOS 4.X linker uses library paths specified during
80006f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro	compilation using -L for run-time shared library searches.
80106f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro	Therefore, it is vital that relative and unsafe directory paths not
80206f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro	be used when compiling sendmail.

836c2aa98e2SPeter WemmSolaris 2.x (SunOS 5.x)
837c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	To compile for Solaris, the Makefile built by Build must
838c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	include a SOLARIS definition which reflects the Solaris version
839c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	(i.e. -DSOLARIS=20400 for 2.4 or -DSOLARIS=20501 for 2.5.1).
840c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	If you are using gcc, make sure -I/usr/include is not used (or
841c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	it might complain about TopFrame).  If you are using Sun's cc,
842c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	make sure /opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc is used instead of /usr/ucb/cc
843c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	(or it might complain about tm_zone).
844c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
845c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	The Solaris "syslog" function is apparently limited to something
846c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	about 90 characters because of a kernel limitation.  If you have
847c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	source code, you can probably up this number.  You can get patches
848c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	that fix this problem: the patch ids are:

931193538b7SGregory Neil Shapiro	If you are using dns for hostname resolution on Solaris, make sure
932193538b7SGregory Neil Shapiro	that the 'dns' entry is last on the hosts line in
933193538b7SGregory Neil Shapiro	'/etc/nsswitch.conf'.  For example, use:
934193538b7SGregory Neil Shapiro
935193538b7SGregory Neil Shapiro		hosts:	nisplus files dns
936193538b7SGregory Neil Shapiro

940193538b7SGregory Neil Shapiro
941193538b7SGregory Neil Shapiro	Note that 'nisplus' above is an illustration.  The same comment
942193538b7SGregory Neil Shapiro	applies no matter what naming services you are using.  If you have
943193538b7SGregory Neil Shapiro	anything other than dns last, even after "[NOTFOUND=return]",
944193538b7SGregory Neil Shapiro	sendmail may not be able to determine whether an error was
945193538b7SGregory Neil Shapiro	temporary or permanent.  The error returned by the solaris
946193538b7SGregory Neil Shapiro	gethostbyname() is the error for the last lookup used, and other
947193538b7SGregory Neil Shapiro	naming services do not have the same concept of temporary failure.

95306f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro	IDENT on in the configuration file by setting the "ident" timeout.
95406f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro
95506f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro	The Ultrix 4.5 Y2K patch (ULTV45-022-1) has changed the resolver

968c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	-L/usr/shlib (otherwise it core dumps on startup).  You may also
969c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	need -mld to get the nlist() function, although some versions
970c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	apparently don't need this.

975c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	On DEC OSF/1 3.2 or earlier, the MatchGECOS option doesn't work
976c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	properly due to a bug in the getpw* routines.  If you want to use

1100c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	If you are running a "virgin" version of 4.3BSD, you'll have
1101c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	a very old resolver and be missing some header files.  The
1102c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	header files are simple -- create empty versions and everything
1103c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	will work fine.  For the resolver you should really port a new
1104c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	version (4.8.3 or later) of the resolver; 4.9 is available on
1105c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	gatekeeper.DEC.COM in pub/BSD/bind/4.9.  If you are really
1106c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	determined to continue to use your old, buggy version (or as
1107c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	a shortcut to get sendmail working -- I'm sure you have the

1118c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
1119c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	I guess this isn't really a sendmail bug, however, it is something
1120c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	that A/UX users should be aware of when compiling sendmail 8.6.
1121c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
1122c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	Apparently, the calls that sendmail is using to the ndbm routines
1123c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	in A/UX 3.0.x contain calls to "broken" routines, in that the
1124c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	aliases database will break when it gets "just a little big"
1125c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	(sorry I don't have exact numbers here, but it broke somewhere
1126c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	around 20-25 aliases for me.), making all aliases non-functional
1127c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	after exceeding this point.
1128c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
1129c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	What I did was to get the gnu-dbm-1.6 package, compile it, and
1130c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	then re-compile sendmail with "-lgdbm", "-DNDBM", and using the
1131c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	ndbm.h header file that comes with the gnu-package. This makes
1132c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	things behave properly.
1133c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	  [NOTE: see comment above about GDBM]
1134c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
1135c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	I suppose porting the New Berkeley DB package is another route,
1136c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	however, I made a quick attempt at it, and found it difficult
1137c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	(not easy at least); the gnu-dbm package "configured" and

1151c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	ie. although SCO has _res.dnsrch defined, and is kinda BIND 4.8.3, it

1162c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	Originally, the DG /bin/mail program wasn't compatible with

1189c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	With debugging I saw it was faulting when doing _free@libc... *sigh*
1190c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	It seems the new implementation of malloc on s300 is buggy as of 8.0,
1191c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	so I tried out the one in -lmalloc (malloc(3X)).  With that it seems

1201c2aa98e2SPeter WemmLinux
1202c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	Something broke between versions 0.99.13 and 0.99.14 of Linux:
1203c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	the flock() system call gives errors.  If you are running .14,
1204c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	you must not use flock.  You can do this with -DHASFLOCK=0.
1205c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
1206c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	Around the inclusion of bind-4.9.3 & Linux libc-4.6.20, the
1207c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	initialization of the _res structure changed.  If /etc/hosts.conf
1208c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	was configured as "hosts, bind" the resolver code could return
1209c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	"Name server failure" errors.  This is supposedly fixed in
1210c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	later versions of libc (>= 4.6.29?), and later versions of
1211c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	sendmail (> 8.6.10) try to work around the problem.
1212c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
1213c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	Some older versions (< 4.6.20?) of the libc/include files conflict
1214c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	with sendmail's version of cdefs.h.  Deleting sendmail's version
1215c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	on those systems should be non-harmful, and new versions don't care.
1216c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
1217c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	Sendmail assumes that libc has snprintf, which has been true since
1218c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	libc 4.7.0.  If you are running an older version, you will need to
1219c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	use -DHASSNPRINTF=0 in the Makefile.  If may be able to use -lbsd
1220c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	(which includes snprintf) instead of turning this off on versions
1221c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	of libc between 4.4.4 and 4.7.0 (snprintf improves security, so
1222c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	you want to use this if at all possible).
1223c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
1224c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	NOTE ON LINUX & BIND:  By default, the Makefile generated for Linux
1225c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	includes header files in /usr/local/include and libraries in
1226c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	/usr/local/lib.  If you've installed BIND on your system, the header
1227c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	files typically end up in the search path and you need to add
1228c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	"-lresolv" to the LIBS line in your Makefile.  Really old versions
1229c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	may need to include "-l44bsd" as well (particularly if the link phase
1230c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	complains about missing strcasecmp, strncasecmp or strpbrk).
1231c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	Complaints about an undefined reference to `__dn_skipname' in
1232c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	domain.o are a sure sign that you need to add -lresolv to LIBS.
1233c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	Newer versions of Linux are basically threaded BIND, so you may or
1234c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	may not see complaints if you accidentally mix BIND
1235c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	headers/libraries with virginal libc.  If you have BIND headers in
1236c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	/usr/local/include (resolv.h, etc) you *should* be adding -lresolv
1237c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	to LIBS.  Data structures may change and you'd be asking for a

12402e43090eSPeter Wemm	A number of problems have been reported regarding the Linux 2.2.0

12422e43090eSPeter Wemm	and DNS resolution.  We believe the problem is with the poll()
12432e43090eSPeter Wemm	implementation in the Linux 2.2.0 kernel and poll()-aware versions

12452e43090eSPeter Wemm
124606f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro	Some pre-glibc distributions of Linux include a syslog.h that does
124706f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro	not work properly with SFIO.  You can fix this by adding

126206f25ae9SGregory Neil ShapiroAIX 4.X
126306f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro	The AIX 4.X linker uses library paths specified during compilation
126406f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro	using -L for run-time shared library searches.  Therefore, it is
126506f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro	vital that relative and unsafe directory paths not be using when
126606f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro	compiling sendmail.  Because of this danger, by default, compiles
126706f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro	on AIX use the -blibpath option to limit shared libraries to
126806f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro	/usr/lib and /lib.  If you need to allow more directories, such as
126906f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro	/usr/local/lib, modify your devtools/Site/site.AIX.4.2.m4,
127006f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro	site.AIX.4.3.m4, and/or site.AIX.4.x.m4 file(s) and set confLDOPTS
127106f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro	approriately.  For example:
127206f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro
127306f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro	define(`confLDOPTS', `-blibpath:/usr/lib:/lib:/usr/local/lib')
127406f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro
127506f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro	Be sure to only add (safe) system directories.
127606f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro
127706f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro	The AIX version of GNU ld also exhibits this problem.  If you are
127806f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro	using that version, instead of -blibpath, use its -rpath option.

1361c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	RISC/os from MIPS is a merged AT&T/Berkeley system.  When you
1362c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	compile on that platform you will get duplicate definitions
1363c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	on many files.  You can ignore these.
1364c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
1365c2aa98e2SPeter WemmSystem V Release 4 Based Systems
136606f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro	There is a single devtools OS that is intended for all SVR4-based
136706f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro	systems (built from devtools/OS/SVR4).  It defines __svr4__,
1368c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	which is predefined by some compilers.  If your compiler already
1369c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	defines this compile variable, you can delete the definition from
137006f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro	the generated Makefile or create a devtools/Site/site.config.m4
1371c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	file.

1381c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	Subject:   Notes for DELL SVR4
1382c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
1383c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	Eric,
1384c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
1385c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	Here are some notes for compiling Sendmail 8.6.4 on DELL SVR4.  I ran
1386c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	across these things when helping out some people who contacted me by
1387c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	e-mail.
1388c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
1389c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	1) Use gcc 2.4.5 (or later?).  Dell distributes gcc 2.1 with their
1390c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	   Issue 2.2 Unix.  It is too old, and gives you problems with
1391c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	   clock.c, because sigset_t won't get defined in <sys/signal.h>.
1392c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	   This is due to a problematic protection rule in there, and is
1393c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	   fixed with gcc 2.4.5.
1394c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
1395c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	2) If you don't use the new Berkeley DB (-DNEWDB), then you need
1396c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	   to add "-lc -lucb" to the libraries to link with.  This is because
1397c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	   the -ldbm distributed by Dell needs the bcopy, bcmp and bzero
1398c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	   functions.  It is important that you specify both libraries in
1399c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	   the given order to be sure you only get the BSTRING functions
1400c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	   from the UCB library (and not the signal routines etc.).
1401c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
1402c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	3) Don't leave out "-lelf" even if compiling with "-lc -lucb".
1403c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	   The UCB library also has another copy of the nlist routines,
1404c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	   but we do want the ones from "-lelf".
1405c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
1406c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	If anyone needs a compiled gcc 2.4.5 and/or a ported DB library, they
1407c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	can use anonymous ftp to fetch them from lut.fi in the /kim directory.
1408c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	They are copies of what I use on grendel.lut.fi, and offering them
1409c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	does not imply that I would also support them.  I have sent the DB
1410c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	port for SVR4 back to Keith Bostic for inclusion in the official
1411c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	distribution, but I haven't heard anything from him as of today.
1412c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
1413c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	- gcc-2.4.5-svr4.tar.gz	(gcc 2.4.5 and the corresponding libg++)
1414c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	- db-1.72.tar.gz	(with source, objects and a installed copy)

1423c2aa98e2SPeter WemmConvexOS 10.1 and below
1424c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	In order to use the name server, you must create the file
1425c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	/etc/use_nameserver.  If this file does not exist, the call
1426c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	to res_init() will fail and you will have absolutely no
1427c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	access to DNS, including MX records.

1429c2aa98e2SPeter WemmAmdahl UTS 2.1.5
1430c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	In order to get UTS to work, you will have to port BIND 4.9.
1431c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	The vendor's BIND is reported to be ``totally inadequate.''
1432c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	See sendmail/contrib/AmdahlUTS.patch for the patches necessary
1433c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	to get BIND 4.9 compiled for UTS.

1435c2aa98e2SPeter WemmUnixWare
1436c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	According to Alexander Kolbasov <sasha@unitech.gamma.ru>,
1437c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	the m4 on UnixWare 2.0 (still in Beta) will core dump on the
1438c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	config files.  GNU m4 and the m4 from UnixWare 1.x both work.
1439c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
1440c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	According to Larry Rosenman <ler@lerami.lerctr.org>:
1441c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
1442c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		UnixWare 2.1.[23]'s m4 chokes (not obviously) when
1443c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		processing the 8.9.0 cf files.
1444c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
1445c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		I had a LOCAL_RULE_0 that wound up AFTER the
1446c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		SBasic_check_rcpt rules using the SCO supplied M4.
1447c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm		GNU M4 works fine.

1449c2aa98e2SPeter WemmUNICOS 8.0.3.4
1450c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	Some people have reported that the -O flag on UNICOS can cause
1451c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	problems.  You may want to turn this off if you have problems
1452c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	running sendmail.  Reported by Jerry G. DeLapp <jgd@acl.lanl.gov>.

148606f25ae9SGregory Neil ShapiroBIND 8.X
148706f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro	BIND 8.X returns HOST_NOT_FOUND instead of TRY_AGAIN on temporary
148806f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro	DNS failures when trying to find the hostname associated with an IP
148906f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro	address (gethostbyaddr()).  This can cause problems as
149006f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro	$&{client_name} based lookups in class R ($=R) and the access
149106f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro	database won't succeed.
149206f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro
149306f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro	This will be fixed in BIND 8.2.1.  For earlier versions, this can
149406f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro	be fixed by making "dns" the last name service queried for host
149506f25ae9SGregory Neil Shapiro	resolution in /etc/irs.conf:

1501c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	Some compilers (notably gcc) claim to be ANSI C but do not
1502c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	include the ANSI-required routine "strtoul".  If your compiler
1503c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	has this problem, you will get an error in srvrsmtp.c on the
1504c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	code:

1519c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
1520c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	Just upgraded to sendmail 8.7, and discovered that listproc 6.0c
1521c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	breaks, because it, by default, sends a blank "HELO" rather than
1522c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	a "HELO hostname" when using the 'system' or 'telnet' mailmethod.
1523c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm
1524c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	The fix is to include -DZMAILER in the compilation, which will
1525c2aa98e2SPeter Wemm	cause it to use "HELO hostname" (which Z-mail apparently requires
