DO NOT USE MAKE !! in this directory to compile sendmail -- 19********************* instead, use the "Build" script located in 20the sendmail directory. It will build an appropriate Makefile, and 21create an appropriate obj.* subdirectory so that multiplatform 22support works easily. 23 24 ********************************************************** 25 ** Read below for more details on building sendmail. ** 26 ********************************************************** 27 28************************************************************************** 29** IMPORTANT: Read the appropriate paragraphs in the section on ** 30** ``Operating System and Compile Quirks''. ** 31************************************************************************** 32 33For detailed instructions, please read the document ../doc/op/op.me: 34 35 eqn ../doc/op/op.me | pic | ditroff -me 36 37Sendmail is a trademark of Sendmail, Inc. 38 39 40+-------------------+ 41| BUILDING SENDMAIL | 42+-------------------+ 43 44By far, the easiest way to compile sendmail is to use the "Build" 45script: 46 47 sh Build 48 49This uses the "uname" command to figure out what architecture you are 50on and creates a proper Makefile accordingly. It also creates a 51subdirectory per object format, so that multiarchitecture support is 52easy. In general this should be all you need. IRIX 6.x users should 53read the note below in the OPERATING SYSTEM AND COMPILE QUIRKS section. 54 55If you need to look at other include or library directories, use the 56-I or -L flags on the command line, e.g., 57 58 sh Build -I/usr/sww/include -L/usr/sww/lib 59 60It's also possible to create local site configuration in the file 61site.config.m4 (or another file settable with the -f flag). This 62file contains M4 definitions for various compilation values; the 63most useful are: 64 65confMAPDEF -D flags to specify database types to be included 66 (see below) 67confENVDEF -D flags to specify other environment information 68confINCDIRS -I flags for finding include files during compilation 69confLIBDIRS -L flags for finding libraries during linking 70confLIBS -l flags for selecting libraries during linking 71confLDOPTS other ld(1) linker options 72 73Others can be found by examining Makefile.m4. Please read 74../devtools/README for more information about the site.config.m4 75file. 76 77You can recompile from scratch using the -c flag with the Build 78command. This removes the existing compilation directory for the 79current platform and builds a new one. 80 81Porting to a new Unix-based system should be a matter of creating 82an appropriate configuration file in the devtools/OS/ directory. 83 84 85+----------------------+ 86| DATABASE DEFINITIONS | 87+----------------------+ 88 89There are several database formats that can be used for the alias files 90and for general maps. When used for alias files they interact in an 91attempt to be backward compatible. 92 93The options are: 94 95NEWDB The new Berkeley DB package. Some systems (e.g., BSD/OS and 96 Digital UNIX 4.0) have some version of this package 97 pre-installed. If your system does not have Berkeley DB 98 pre-installed, or the version installed is not version 2.0 99 or greater (e.g., is Berkeley DB 1.85 or 1.86), get the 100 current version from http://www.sleepycat.com/. DO NOT 101 use a version from any of the University of California, 102 Berkeley "Net" or other distributions. If you are still 103 running BSD/386 1.x, you will need to upgrade the included 104 Berkeley DB library to a current version. NEWDB is included 105 automatically if the Build script can find a library named 106 libdb.a or libdb.so. 107NDBM The older NDBM implementation -- the very old V7 DBM 108 implementation is no longer supported. 109NIS Network Information Services. To use this you must have 110 NIS support on your system. 111NISPLUS NIS+ (the revised NIS released with Solaris 2). You must 112 have NIS+ support on your system to use this flag. 113HESIOD Support for Hesiod (from the DEC/Athena distribution). You 114 must already have Hesiod support on your system for this to 115 work. You may be able to get this to work with the MIT/Athena 116 version of Hesiod, but that's likely to be a lot of work. 117LDAPMAP Lightweight Directory Access Protocol support. You will 118 have to install the UMich or OpenLDAP 119 (http://www.openldap.org/) ldap and lber libraries to use 120 this flag. 121MAP_REGEX Regular Expression support. You will need to use an 122 operating system which comes with the POSIX regex() 123 routines or install a regexp library such as libregex from 124 the Free Software Foundation. 125PH_MAP PH map support. You will need the qi PH package. 126MAP_NSD nsd map support (IRIX 6.5 and later). 127 128>>> NOTE WELL for NEWDB support: If you want to get ndbm support, for 129>>> Berkeley DB versions under 2.0, it is CRITICAL that you remove 130>>> ndbm.o from libdb.a before you install it and DO NOT install ndbm.h; 131>>> for Berkeley DB versions 2.0 through 2.3.14, remove dbm.o from libdb.a 132>>> before you install it. If you don't delete these, there is absolutely 133>>> no point to including -DNDBM, since it will just get you another 134>>> (inferior) API to the same format database. These files OVERRIDE 135>>> calls to ndbm routines -- in particular, if you leave ndbm.h in, 136>>> you can find yourself using the new db package even if you don't 137>>> define NEWDB. Berkeley DB versions later than 2.3.14 do not need 138>>> to be modified. Please also consult the README in the top level 139>>> directory of the sendmail distribution for other important information. 140>>> 141>>> Further note: DO NOT remove your existing /usr/include/ndbm.h -- 142>>> you need that one. But do not install an updated ndbm.h in 143>>> /usr/include, /usr/local/include, or anywhere else. 144 145If NEWDB and NDBM are defined (but not NIS), then sendmail will read 146NDBM format alias files, but the next time a newaliases is run the 147format will be converted to NEWDB; that format will be used forever 148more. This is intended as a transition feature. 149 150If NEWDB, NDBM, and NIS are all defined and the name of the file includes 151the string "/yp/", sendmail will rebuild BOTH the NEWDB and NDBM format 152alias files. However, it will only read the NEWDB file; the NDBM format 153file is used only by the NIS subsystem. This is needed because the NIS 154maps on an NIS server are built directly from the NDBM files. 155 156If NDBM and NIS are defined (regardless of the definition of NEWDB), 157and the filename includes the string "/yp/", sendmail adds the special 158tokens "YP_LAST_MODIFIED" and "YP_MASTER_NAME", both of which are 159required if the NDBM file is to be used as an NIS map. 160 161All of these flags are normally defined in the DBMDEF line in the 162Makefile. 163 164If you define NEWDB or HESIOD you get the User Database (USERDB) 165automatically. Generally you do want to have NEWDB for it to do 166anything interesting. See above for getting the Berkeley DB 167package (i.e., NEWDB). There is no separate "user database" 168package -- don't bother searching for it on the net. 169 170Hesiod and LDAP require libraries that may not be installed with your 171system. These are outside of my ability to provide support. See the 172"Quirks" section for more information. 173 174The regex map can be used to see if an address matches a certain regular 175expression. For example, all-numerics local parts are common spam 176addresses, so "^[0-9]+$" would match this. By using such a map in a 177check_* rule-set, you can block a certain range of addresses that would 178otherwise be considered valid. 179 180 181+---------------+ 182| COMPILE FLAGS | 183+---------------+ 184 185Wherever possible, I try to make sendmail pull in the correct 186compilation options needed to compile on various environments based on 187automatically defined symbols. Some machines don't seem to have useful 188symbols available, requiring that a compilation flag be defined in 189the Makefile; see the devtools/OS subdirectory for the supported 190architectures. 191 192If you are a system to which sendmail has already been ported you 193should not have to touch the following symbols. But if you are porting, 194you may have to tweak the following compilation flags in conf.h in order 195to get it to compile and link properly: 196 197SYSTEM5 Adjust for System V (not necessarily Release 4). 198SYS5SIGNALS Use System V signal semantics -- the signal handler 199 is automatically dropped when the signal is caught. 200 If this is not set, use POSIX/BSD semantics, where the 201 signal handler stays in force until an exec or an 202 explicit delete. Implied by SYSTEM5. 203SYS5SETPGRP Use System V setpgrp() semantics. Implied by SYSTEM5. 204HASFCHMOD Define this to one if you have the fchmod(2) system call. 205 This improves security. 206HASFCHOWN Define this to one if you have the fchown(2) system call. 207 This is required for the TrustedUser option. 208HASFLOCK Set this if you prefer to use the flock(2) system call 209 rather than using fcntl-based locking. Fcntl locking 210 has some semantic gotchas, but many vendor systems 211 also interface it to lockd(8) to do NFS-style locking. 212 Unfortunately, may vendors implementations of fcntl locking 213 is just plain broken (e.g., locks are never released, 214 causing your sendmail to deadlock; when the kernel runs 215 out of locks your system crashes). For this reason, I 216 recommend always defining this unless you are absolutely 217 certain that your fcntl locking implementation really works. 218HASUNAME Set if you have the "uname" system call. Implied by 219 SYSTEM5. 220HASUNSETENV Define this if your system library has the "unsetenv" 221 subroutine. 222HASSETSID Define this if you have the setsid(2) system call. This 223 is implied if your system appears to be POSIX compliant. 224HASINITGROUPS Define this if you have the initgroups(3) routine. 225HASSETVBUF Define this if you have the setvbuf(3) library call. 226 If you don't, setlinebuf will be used instead. This 227 defaults on if your compiler defines __STDC__. 228HASSETREUID Define this if you have setreuid(2) ***AND*** root can 229 use setreuid to change to an arbitrary user. This second 230 condition is not satisfied on AIX 3.x. You may find that 231 your system has setresuid(2), (for example, on HP-UX) in 232 which case you will also have to #define setreuid(r, e) 233 to be the appropriate call. Some systems (such as Solaris) 234 have a compatibility routine that doesn't work properly, 235 but may have "saved user ids" properly implemented so you 236 can ``#define setreuid(r, e) seteuid(e)'' and have it work. 237 The important thing is that you have a call that will set 238 the effective uid independently of the real or saved uid 239 and be able to set the effective uid back again when done. 240 There's a test program in ../test/t_setreuid.c that will 241 try things on your system. Setting this improves the 242 security, since sendmail doesn't have to read .forward 243 and :include: files as root. There are certain attacks 244 that may be unpreventable without this call. 245USESETEUID Define this to 1 if you have a seteuid(2) system call that 246 will allow root to set only the effective user id to an 247 arbitrary value ***AND*** you have saved user ids. This is 248 preferable to HASSETREUID if these conditions are fulfilled. 249 These are the semantics of the to-be-released revision of 250 Posix.1. The test program ../test/t_seteuid.c will try 251 this out on your system. If you define both HASSETREUID 252 and USESETEUID, the former is ignored. 253HASLSTAT Define this if you have symbolic links (and thus the 254 lstat(2) system call). This improves security. Unlike 255 most other options, this one is on by default, so you 256 need to #undef it in conf.h if you don't have symbolic 257 links (these days everyone does). 258HASSETRLIMIT Define this to 1 if you have the setrlimit(2) syscall. 259 You can define it to 0 to force it off. It is assumed 260 if you are running a BSD-like system. 261HASULIMIT Define this if you have the ulimit(2) syscall (System V 262 style systems). HASSETRLIMIT overrides, as it is more 263 general. 264HASWAITPID Define this if you have the waitpid(2) syscall. 265HASGETDTABLESIZE 266 Define this if you have the getdtablesize(2) syscall. 267HAS_ST_GEN Define this to 1 if your system has the st_gen field in 268 the stat structure (see stat(2)). 269HASSRANDOMDEV Define this if your system has the srandomdev(3) function 270 call. 271HASURANDOMDEV Define this if your system has /dev/urandom(4). 272HASSTRERROR Define this if you have the libc strerror(3) function (which 273 should be declared in <errno.h>), and it should be used 274 instead of sys_errlist. 275NEEDGETOPT Define this if you need a reimplementation of getopt(3). 276 On some systems, getopt does very odd things if called 277 to scan the arguments twice. This flag will ask sendmail 278 to compile in a local version of getopt that works 279 properly. 280NEEDSTRTOL Define this if your standard C library does not define 281 strtol(3). This will compile in a local version. 282NEEDVPRINTF Define this if your standard C library does not define 283 vprintf(3). Note that the resulting fake implementation 284 is not very elegant and may not even work on some 285 architectures. 286NEEDFSYNC Define this if your standard C library does not define 287 fsync(2). This will try to simulate the operation using 288 fcntl(2); if that is not available it does nothing, which 289 isn't great, but at least it compiles and runs. 290HASGETUSERSHELL Define this to 1 if you have getusershell(3) in your 291 standard C library. If this is not defined, or is defined 292 to be 0, sendmail will scan the /etc/shells file (no 293 NIS-style support, defaults to /bin/sh and /bin/csh if 294 that file does not exist) to get a list of unrestricted 295 user shells. This is used to determine whether users 296 are allowed to forward their mail to a program or a file. 297NEEDPUTENV Define this if your system needs am emulation of the 298 putenv(3) call. Define to 1 to implement it in terms 299 of setenv(3) or to 2 to do it in terms of primitives. 300NOFTRUNCATE Define this if you don't have the ftruncate(2) syscall. 301 If you don't have this system call, there is an unavoidable 302 race condition that occurs when creating alias databases. 303GIDSET_T The type of entries in a gidset passed as the second 304 argument to getgroups(2). Historically this has been an 305 int, so this is the default, but some systems (such as 306 IRIX) pass it as a gid_t, which is an unsigned short. 307 This will make a difference, so it is important to get 308 this right! However, it is only an issue if you have 309 group sets. 310SLEEP_T The type returned by the system sleep() function. 311 Defaults to "unsigned int". Don't worry about this 312 if you don't have compilation problems. 313ARBPTR_T The type of an arbitrary pointer -- defaults to "void *". 314 If you are an very old compiler you may need to define 315 this to be "char *". 316SOCKADDR_LEN_T The type used for the third parameter to accept(2), 317 getsockname(2), and getpeername(2), representing the 318 length of a struct sockaddr. Defaults to int. 319SOCKOPT_LEN_T The type used for the fifth parameter to getsockopt(2) 320 and setsockopt(2), representing the length of the option 321 buffer. Defaults to int. 322LA_TYPE The type of load average your kernel supports. These 323 can be one of: 324 LA_ZERO (1) -- it always returns the load average as 325 "zero" (and does so on all architectures). 326 LA_INT (2) to read /dev/kmem for the symbol avenrun and 327 interpret as a long integer. 328 LA_FLOAT (3) same, but interpret the result as a floating 329 point number. 330 LA_SHORT (6) to interpret as a short integer. 331 LA_SUBR (4) if you have the getloadavg(3) routine in your 332 system library. 333 LA_MACH (5) to use MACH-style load averages (calls 334 processor_set_info()), 335 LA_PROCSTR (7) to read /proc/loadavg and interpret it 336 as a string representing a floating-point 337 number (Linux-style). 338 LA_READKSYM (8) is an implementation suitable for some 339 versions of SVr4 that uses the MIOC_READKSYM ioctl 340 call to read /dev/kmem. 341 LA_DGUX (9) is a special implementation for DG/UX that uses 342 the dg_sys_info system call. 343 LA_HPUX (10) is an HP-UX specific version that uses the 344 pstat_getdynamic system call. 345 LA_IRIX6 (11) is an IRIX 6.x specific version that adapts 346 to 32 or 64 bit kernels; it is otherwise very similar 347 to LA_INT. 348 LA_KSTAT (12) uses the (Solaris-specific) kstat(3k) 349 implementation. 350 LA_DEVSHORT (13) reads a short from a system file (default: 351 /dev/table/avenrun) and scales it in the same manner 352 as LA_SHORT. 353 LA_INT, LA_SHORT, LA_FLOAT, and LA_READKSYM have several 354 other parameters that they try to divine: the name of your 355 kernel, the name of the variable in the kernel to examine, 356 the number of bits of precision in a fixed point load average, 357 and so forth. LA_DEVSHORT uses _PATH_AVENRUN to find the 358 device to be read to find the load average. 359 In desperation, use LA_ZERO. The actual code is in 360 conf.c -- it can be tweaked if you are brave. 361FSHIFT For LA_INT, LA_SHORT, and LA_READKSYM, this is the number 362 of bits of load average after the binary point -- i.e., 363 the number of bits to shift right in order to scale the 364 integer to get the true integer load average. Defaults to 8. 365_PATH_UNIX The path to your kernel. Needed only for LA_INT, LA_SHORT, 366 and LA_FLOAT. Defaults to "/unix" on System V, "/vmunix" 367 everywhere else. 368LA_AVENRUN For LA_INT, LA_SHORT, and LA_FLOAT, the name of the kernel 369 variable that holds the load average. Defaults to "avenrun" 370 on System V, "_avenrun" everywhere else. 371SFS_TYPE Encodes how your kernel can locate the amount of free 372 space on a disk partition. This can be set to SFS_NONE 373 (0) if you have no way of getting this information, 374 SFS_USTAT (1) if you have the ustat(2) system call, 375 SFS_4ARGS (2) if you have a four-argument statfs(2) 376 system call (and the include file is <sys/statfs.h>), 377 SFS_VFS (3), SFS_MOUNT (4), SFS_STATFS (5) if you have 378 the two-argument statfs(2) system call with includes in 379 <sys/vfs.h>, <sys/mount.h>, or <sys/statfs.h> respectively, 380 or SFS_STATVFS (6) if you have the two-argument statvfs(2) 381 call. The default if nothing is defined is SFS_NONE. 382SFS_BAVAIL with SFS_4ARGS you can also set SFS_BAVAIL to the field name 383 in the statfs structure that holds the useful information; 384 this defaults to f_bavail. 385SPT_TYPE Encodes how your system can display what a process is doing 386 on a ps(1) command (SPT stands for Set Process Title). Can 387 be set to: 388 SPT_NONE (0) -- Don't try to set the process title at all. 389 SPT_REUSEARGV (1) -- Pad out your argv with the information; 390 this is the default if none specified. 391 SPT_BUILTIN (2) -- The system library has setproctitle. 392 SPT_PSTAT (3) -- Use the PSTAT_SETCMD option to pstat(2) 393 to set the process title; this is used by HP-UX. 394 SPT_PSSTRINGS (4) -- Use the magic PS_STRINGS pointer (4.4BSD). 395 SPT_SYSMIPS (5) -- Use sysmips() supported by NEWS-OS 6. 396 SPT_SCO (6) -- Write kernel u. area. 397 SPT_CHANGEARGV (7) -- Write pointers to our own strings into 398 the existing argv vector. 399SPT_PADCHAR Character used to pad the process title; if undefined, 400 the space character (0x20) is used. This is ignored if 401 SPT_TYPE != SPT_REUSEARGV 402ERRLIST_PREDEFINED 403 If set, assumes that some header file defines sys_errlist. 404 This may be needed if you get type conflicts on this 405 variable -- otherwise don't worry about it. 406WAITUNION The wait(2) routine takes a "union wait" argument instead 407 of an integer argument. This is for compatibility with 408 old versions of BSD. 409SCANF You can set this to extend the F command to accept a 410 scanf string -- this gives you a primitive parser for 411 class definitions -- BUT it can make you vulnerable to 412 core dumps if the target file is poorly formed. 413SYSLOG_BUFSIZE You can define this to be the size of the buffer that 414 syslog accepts. If it is not defined, it assumes a 415 1024-byte buffer. If the buffer is very small (under 416 256 bytes) the log message format changes -- each 417 e-mail message will log many more messages, since it 418 will log each piece of information as a separate line 419 in syslog. 420BROKEN_RES_SEARCH 421 On Ultrix (and maybe other systems?) if you use the 422 res_search routine with an unknown host name, it returns 423 -1 but sets h_errno to 0 instead of HOST_NOT_FOUND. If 424 you set this, sendmail considers 0 to be the same as 425 HOST_NOT_FOUND. 426NAMELISTMASK If defined, values returned by nlist(3) are masked 427 against this value before use -- a common value is 428 0x7fffffff to strip off the top bit. 429BSD4_4_SOCKADDR If defined, socket addresses have an sa_len field that 430 defines the length of this address. 431SAFENFSPATHCONF Set this to 1 if and only if you have verified that a 432 pathconf(2) call with _PC_CHOWN_RESTRICTED argument on an 433 NFS filesystem where the underlying system allows users to 434 give away files to other users returns <= 0. Be sure you 435 try both on NFS V2 and V3. Some systems assume that their 436 local policy apply to NFS servers -- this is a bad 437 assumption! The test/t_pathconf.c program will try this 438 for you -- you have to run it in a directory that is 439 mounted from a server that allows file giveaway. 440SIOCGIFCONF_IS_BROKEN 441 Set this if your system has an SIOCGIFCONF ioctl defined, 442 but it doesn't behave the same way as "most" systems (BSD, 443 Solaris, SunOS, HP-UX, etc.) 444SIOCGIFNUM_IS_BROKEN 445 Set this if your system has an SIOCGIFNUM ioctl defined, 446 but it doesn't behave the same way as "most" systems 447 (Solaris, HP-UX). 448NEED_PERCENTQ Set this if your system doesn't support the printf 449 format strings %lld or %llu. If this is set, %qd and 450 %qu are used instead. 451FAST_PID_RECYCLE 452 Set this if your system can reuse the same PID in the same 453 second. 454SO_REUSEADDR_IS_BROKEN 455 Set this if your system has a setsockopt() SO_REUSEADDR 456 flag but doesn't pay attention to it when trying to bind a 457 socket to a recently closed port. 458SNPRINTF_IS_BROKEN 459 Set this if your system has an snprintf() implementation 460 which does not NUL terminate the string being filled in. 461 Use test/t_snprintf.c to test your system. 462NEEDSGETIPNODE Set this if your system supports IPv6 but doesn't include 463 the getipnodeby{name,addr}() functions. Set automatically 464 for Linux's glibc. 465 466 467+-----------------------+ 468| COMPILE-TIME FEATURES | 469+-----------------------+ 470 471There are a bunch of features that you can decide to compile in, such 472as selecting various database packages and special protocol support. 473Several are assumed based on other compilation flags -- if you want to 474"un-assume" something, you probably need to edit conf.h. Compilation 475flags that add support for special features include: 476 477NDBM Include support for "new" DBM library for aliases and maps. 478 Normally defined in the Makefile. 479NEWDB Include support for Berkeley DB package (hash & btree) 480 for aliases and maps. Normally defined in the Makefile. 481 If the version of NEWDB you have is the old one that does 482 not include the "fd" call (this call was added in version 483 1.5 of the Berkeley DB code), you must upgrade to the 484 current version of Berkeley DB. 485NIS Define this to get NIS (YP) support for aliases and maps. 486 Normally defined in the Makefile. 487NISPLUS Define this to get NIS+ support for aliases and maps. 488 Normally defined in the Makefile. 489HESIOD Define this to get Hesiod support for aliases and maps. 490 Normally defined in the Makefile. 491NETINFO Define this to get NeXT NetInfo support for aliases and maps. 492 Normally defined in the Makefile. 493LDAPMAP Define this to get LDAP support for maps. 494PH_MAP Define this to get PH support for maps. 495MAP_NSD Define this to get nsd support for maps. 496USERDB Define this to 1 to include support for the User Information 497 Database. Implied by NEWDB or HESIOD. You can use 498 -DUSERDB=0 to explicitly turn it off. 499IDENTPROTO Define this as 1 to get IDENT (RFC 1413) protocol support. 500 This is assumed unless you are running on Ultrix or 501 HP-UX, both of which have a problem in the UDP 502 implementation. You can define it to be 0 to explicitly 503 turn off IDENT protocol support. If defined off, the code 504 is actually still compiled in, but it defaults off; you 505 can turn it on by setting the IDENT timeout in the 506 configuration file. 507IP_SRCROUTE Define this to 1 to get IP source routing information 508 displayed in the Received: header. This is assumed on 509 most systems, but some (e.g., Ultrix) apparently have a 510 broken version of getsockopt that doesn't properly 511 support the IP_OPTIONS call. You probably want this if 512 your OS can cope with it. Symptoms of failure will be that 513 it won't compile properly (that is, no support for fetching 514 IP_OPTIONs), or it compiles but source-routed TCP connections 515 either refuse to open or open and hang for no apparent reason. 516 Ultrix and AIX3 are known to fail this way. 517LOG Set this to get syslog(3) support. Defined by default 518 in conf.h. You want this if at all possible. 519NETINET Set this to get TCP/IP support. Defined by default 520 in conf.h. You probably want this. 521NETINET6 Set this to get IPv6 support. Other configuration may 522 be needed in conf.h for your particular operating system. 523 Also, DaemonPortOptions must be set appropriately for 524 sendmail to accept IPv6 connections. 525NETISO Define this to get ISO networking support. 526NETUNIX Define this to get Unix domain networking support. Defined 527 by default. A few bizarre systems (SCO, ISC, Altos) don't 528 support this networking domain. 529NETNS Define this to get NS networking support. 530NETX25 Define this to get X.25 networking support. 531SMTP Define this to get the SMTP code. Implied by NETINET 532 or NETISO. 533NAMED_BIND If non-zero, include DNS (name daemon) support, including 534 MX support. The specs say you must use this if you run 535 SMTP. You don't have to be running a name server daemon 536 on your machine to need this -- any use of the DNS resolver, 537 including remote access to another machine, requires this 538 option. Defined by default in conf.h. Define it to zero 539 ONLY on machines that do not use DNS in any way. 540QUEUE Define this to get queueing code. Implied by NETINET 541 or NETISO; required by SMTP. This gives you other good 542 stuff -- it should be on. 543DAEMON Define this to get general network support. Implied by 544 NETINET or NETISO. Defined by default in conf.h. You 545 almost certainly want it on. 546MATCHGECOS Permit fuzzy matching of user names against the full 547 name (GECOS) field in the /etc/passwd file. This should 548 probably be on, since you can disable it from the config 549 file if you want to. Defined by default in conf.h. 550MIME8TO7 If non-zero, include 8 to 7 bit MIME conversions. This 551 also controls advertisement of 8BITMIME in the ESMTP 552 startup dialogue. 553MIME7TO8 If non-zero, include 7 to 8 bit MIME conversions. 554HES_GETMAILHOST Define this to 1 if you are using Hesiod with the 555 hes_getmailhost() routine. This is included with the MIT 556 Hesiod distribution, but not with the DEC Hesiod distribution. 557XDEBUG Do additional internal checking. These don't cost too 558 much; you might as well leave this on. 559TCPWRAPPERS Turns on support for the TCP wrappers library (-lwrap). 560 See below for further information. 561SECUREWARE Enable calls to the SecureWare luid enabling/changing routines. 562 SecureWare is a C2 security package added to several UNIX's 563 (notably ConvexOS) to get a C2 Secure system. This 564 option causes mail delivery to be done with the luid of the 565 recipient. 566SHARE_V1 Support for the fair share scheduler, version 1. Setting to 567 1 causes final delivery to be done using the recipients 568 resource limitations. So far as I know, this is only 569 supported on ConvexOS. 570SASL Enables SMTP AUTH (RFC 2554). This requires the Cyrus SASL 571 library (ftp://ftp.andrew.cmu.edu/pub/cyrus-mail/). Please 572 install at least version 1.5.13. See below for further 573 information: SASL COMPILATION AND CONFIGURATION. If your 574 SASL library is older than 1.5.10, you have to set this 575 to its version number using a simple conversion: a.b.c 576 -> c + b*100 + a*10000, e.g. for 1.5.9 define SASL=10509. 577 Note: Using an older version than 1.5.5 of Cyrus SASL is 578 not supported. Starting with version 1.5.10, setting SASL=1 579 is sufficient. Any value other than 1 (or 0) will be 580 compared with the actual version found and if there is a 581 mismatch, compilation will fail. 582EGD Define this if your system has EGD installed, see 583 http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/ . It should be used to 584 seed the PRNG for STARTTLS if HASURANDOMDEV is not defined. 585STARTTLS Enables SMTP STARTTLS (RFC 2487). This requires OpenSSL 586 (http://www.OpenSSL.org/) and sfio (see below). 587 Use OpenSSL 0.9.5a or later (if compatible with this 588 version), do not use 0.9.3. 589 See STARTTLS COMPILATION AND CONFIGURATION for further 590 information. 591TLS_NO_RSA Turn off support for RSA algorithms in STARTTLS. 592SFIO Uses sfio instead of stdio. sfio is available from AT&T 593 (http://www.research.att.com/sw/tools/sfio/). If this 594 compile flag is set, confSTDIO_TYPE must be set to portable. 595 This compile flag is necessary for STARTTLS; it also 596 enables the security layer of SASL. The sfio include file 597 stdio.h must be installed in a subdirectory called sfio, 598 i.e., if you install sfio in /usr/local, stdio.h should 599 be in /usr/local/include/sfio, and libsfio.a should be in 600 /usr/local/lib. Notice: read the sfio section in 601 OPERATING SYSTEM AND COMPILE QUIRKS. 602 603 604Generic notice: If you enable a compile time option that needs 605libraries or include files that don't come with sendmail or are 606installed in a location that your C compiler doesn't use by default 607you should set confINCDIRS and confLIBDIRS as explained in the 608first section: BUILDING SENDMAIL. 609 610 611+---------------------+ 612| DNS/RESOLVER ISSUES | 613+---------------------+ 614 615Many systems have old versions of the resolver library. At a minimum, 616you should be running BIND 4.8.3; older versions may compile, but they 617have known bugs that should give you pause. 618 619Common problems in old versions include "undefined" errors for 620dn_skipname. 621 622Some people have had a problem with BIND 4.9; it uses some routines 623that it expects to be externally defined such as strerror(). It may 624help to link with "-l44bsd" to solve this problem. This has apparently 625been fixed in later versions of BIND, starting around 4.9.3. In other 626words, if you use 4.9.0 through 4.9.2, you need -l44bsd; for earlier or 627later versions, you do not. 628 629!PLEASE! be sure to link with the same version of the resolver as 630the header files you used -- some people have used the 4.9 headers 631and linked with BIND 4.8 or vice versa, and it doesn't work. 632Unfortunately, it doesn't fail in an obvious way -- things just 633subtly don't work. 634 635WILDCARD MX RECORDS ARE A BAD IDEA! The only situation in which they 636work reliably is if you have two versions of DNS, one in the real world 637which has a wildcard pointing to your firewall, and a completely 638different version of the database internally that does not include 639wildcard MX records that match your domain. ANYTHING ELSE WILL GIVE 640YOU HEADACHES! 641 642When attempting to canonify a hostname, some broken name servers will 643return SERVFAIL (a temporary failure) on T_AAAA (IPv6) lookups. If you 644want to excuse this behavior, compile sendmail with 645-D_FFR_WORKAROUND_BROKEN_NAMESERVERS and add WorkAroundBrokenAAAA to your 646ResolverOptions setting. However, instead, we recommend catching the 647problem and reporting it to the name server administrator so we can rid the 648world of broken name servers. 649 650 651+----------------------------------------+ 652| STARTTLS COMPILATION AND CONFIGURATION | 653+----------------------------------------+ 654 655Please read the docs accompanying the OpenSSL library and sfio. 656You have to compile and install both libraries before you can compile 657sendmail. See devtools/README how to set the correct compile time 658parameters; you should at least set the following variables: 659 660define(`confSTDIO_TYPE', `portable') 661APPENDDEF(`conf_sendmail_ENVDEF', `-DSFIO') 662APPENDDEF(`conf_sendmail_LIBS', `-lsfio') 663APPENDDEF(`conf_sendmail_ENVDEF', `-DSTARTTLS') 664APPENDDEF(`conf_sendmail_LIBS', `-lssl -lcrypto') 665 666If you have installed the OpenSSL libraries and include files in 667a location that your C compiler doesn't use by default you should 668set confINCDIRS and confLIBDIRS as explained in the first section: 669BUILDING SENDMAIL. 670 671Configuration information can be found in doc/op/op.me (required 672certificates) and cf/README (how to tell sendmail about certificates). 673 674To perform an initial test, connect to your sendmail daemon 675(telnet localhost 25) and issue a EHLO localhost and see whether 676250-STARTTLS 677is in the response. If it isn't, run the daemon with 678-O LogLevel=14 679and try again. Then take a look at the logfile and see whether 680there are any problems listed about permissions (unsafe files) 681or the validity of X.509 certificates. 682 683Note: sfio must be used in all libraries with which sendmail exchanges 684file pointers. An example is PH map support. This does not apply to the 685usual libraries, e.g., OpenSSL, Berkeley DB, Cyrus SASL. 686 687Further information can be found via: 688http://www.sendmail.org/tips/ 689 690 691+------------------------------------+ 692| SASL COMPILATION AND CONFIGURATION | 693+------------------------------------+ 694 695Please read the docs accompanying the library (INSTALL and README). 696If you use Berkeley DB for Cyrus SASL then you must compile sendmail 697with the same version of Berkeley DB. See devtools/README how to 698set the correct compile time parameters; you should at least set 699the following variables: 700 701APPENDDEF(`conf_sendmail_ENVDEF', `-DSASL') 702APPENDDEF(`conf_sendmail_LIBS', `-lsasl') 703 704If you have installed the Cyrus SASL library and include files in 705a location that your C compiler doesn't use by default you should 706set confINCDIRS and confLIBDIRS as explained in the first section: 707BUILDING SENDMAIL. 708 709You have to select and install authentication mechanisms and tell 710sendmail where to find the sasl library and the include files (see 711devtools/README for the parameters to set). Setup the required 712users and passwords as explained in the SASL documentation. See 713also cf/README for authentication related options (esp. DefaultAuthInfo 714if you want authentication between MTAs). 715 716To perform an initial test, connect to your sendmail daemon 717(telnet localhost 25) and issue a EHLO localhost and see whether 718250-AUTH .... 719is in the response. If it isn't, run the daemon with 720-O LogLevel=14 721and try again. Then take a look at the logfile and see whether 722there are any security related problems listed (unsafe files). 723 724Further information can be found via: 725http://www.sendmail.org/tips/ 726 727 728+-------------------------------------+ 729| OPERATING SYSTEM AND COMPILE QUIRKS | 730+-------------------------------------+ 731 732GCC problems 733 ***************************************************************** 734 ** IMPORTANT: DO NOT USE OPTIMIZATION (``-O'') IF YOU ARE ** 735 ** RUNNING GCC 2.4.x or 2.5.x. THERE IS A BUG IN THE GCC ** 736 ** OPTIMIZER THAT CAUSES SENDMAIL COMPILES TO FAIL MISERABLY. ** 737 ***************************************************************** 738 739 Jim Wilson of Cygnus believes he has found the problem -- it will 740 probably be fixed in GCC 2.5.6 -- but until this is verified, be 741 very suspicious of gcc -O. This problem is reported to have been 742 fixed in gcc 2.6. 743 744 A bug in gcc 2.5.5 caused problems compiling sendmail 8.6.5 with 745 optimization on a Sparc. If you are using gcc 2.5.5, youi should 746 upgrade to the latest version of gcc. 747 748 Apparently GCC 2.7.0 on the Pentium processor has optimization 749 problems. I recommend against using -O on that architecture. This 750 has been seen on FreeBSD 2.0.5 RELEASE. 751 752 Solaris 2.X users should use version 2.7.2.3 over 2.7.2. 753 754 We have been told there are problems with gcc 2.8.0. If you are 755 using this version, you should upgrade to 2.8.1 or later. 756 757GDBM GDBM does not work with sendmail 8.8 because the additional 758 security checks and file locking cause problems. Unfortunately, 759 gdbm does not provide a compile flag in its version of ndbm.h so 760 the code can adapt. Until the GDBM authors can fix these problems, 761 GDBM will not be supported. Please use Berkeley DB instead. 762 763Configuration file location 764 Up to 8.6, sendmail tried to find the sendmail.cf file in the same 765 place as the vendors had put it, even when this was obviously 766 stupid. As of 8.7, sendmail ALWAYS looks for /etc/sendmail.cf. 767 Beginning with 8.10, sendmail uses /etc/mail/sendmail.cf. 768 You can get sendmail to use the stupid vendor .cf location by 769 adding -DUSE_VENDOR_CF_PATH during compilation, but this may break 770 support programs and scripts that need to find sendmail.cf. You 771 are STRONGLY urged to use symbolic links if you want to use the 772 vendor location rather than changing the location in the sendmail 773 binary. 774 775 NETINFO systems use NETINFO to determine the location of 776 sendmail.cf. The full path to sendmail.cf is stored as the value of 777 the "sendmail.cf" property in the "/locations/sendmail" 778 subdirectory of NETINFO. Set the value of this property to 779 "/etc/mail/sendmail.cf" (without the quotes) to use this new 780 default location for Sendmail 8.10.0 and higher. 781 782ControlSocket permissions 783 Paraphrased from BIND 8.2.1's README: 784 785 Solaris and other pre-4.4BSD kernels do not respect ownership or 786 protections on UNIX-domain sockets. The short term fix for this is to 787 override the default path and put such control sockets into root- 788 owned directories which do not permit non-root to r/w/x through them. 789 The long term fix is for all kernels to upgrade to 4.4BSD semantics. 790 791SunOS 4.x (Solaris 1.x) 792 You may have to use -lresolv on SunOS. However, beware that 793 this links in a new version of gethostbyname that does not 794 understand NIS, so you must have all of your hosts in DNS. 795 796 Some people have reported problems with the SunOS version of 797 -lresolv and/or in.named, and suggest that you get a newer 798 version. The symptoms are delays when you connect to the 799 SMTP server on a SunOS machine or having your domain added to 800 addresses inappropriately. There is a version of BIND 801 version 4.9 on gatekeeper.DEC.COM in pub/BSD/bind/4.9. 802 803 There is substantial disagreement about whether you can make 804 this work with resolv+, which allows you to specify a search-path 805 of services. Some people report that it works fine, others 806 claim it doesn't work at all (including causing sendmail to 807 drop core when it tries to do multiple resolv+ lookups for a 808 single job). I haven't tried resolv+, as we use DNS exclusively. 809 810 Should you want to try resolv+, it is on ftp.uu.net in 811 /networking/ip/dns. 812 813 Apparently getservbyname() can fail under moderate to high 814 load under some circumstances. This will exhibit itself as 815 the message ``554 makeconnection: service "smtp" unknown''. 816 The problem has been traced to one or more blank lines in 817 /etc/services on the NIS server machine. Delete these 818 and it should work. This info is thanks to Brian Bartholomew 819 <bb@math.ufl.edu> of I-Kinetics, Inc. 820 821 NOTE: The SunOS 4.X linker uses library paths specified during 822 compilation using -L for run-time shared library searches. 823 Therefore, it is vital that relative and unsafe directory paths not 824 be used when compiling sendmail. 825 826SunOS 4.0.2 (Sun 386i) 827 Date: Fri, 25 Aug 1995 11:13:58 +0200 (MET DST) 828 From: teus@oce.nl 829 830 Sendmail 8.7.Beta.12 compiles and runs nearly out of the box with the 831 following changes: 832 * Don't use /usr/5bin in your PATH, but make /usr/5bin/uname 833 available as "uname" command. 834 * Use the defines "-DBSD4_3 -DNAMED_BIND=0" in 835 devtools/OS/SunOS.4.0, which is selected via the "uname" command. 836 I recommend to make available the db-library on the system first 837 (and change the Makefile to use this library). 838 Note that the sendmail.cf and aliases files are found in /etc. 839 840SunOS 4.1.3, 4.1.3_U1 841 Sendmail causes crashes on SunOS 4.1.3 and 4.1.3_U1. According 842 to Sun bug number 1077939: 843 844 If an application does a getsockopt() on a SOCK_STREAM (TCP) socket 845 after the other side of the connection has sent a TCP RESET for 846 the stream, the kernel gets a Bus Trap in the tcp_ctloutput() or 847 ip_ctloutput() routine. 848 849 For 4.1.3, this is fixed in patch 100584-08, available on the 850 Sunsolve 2.7.1 or later CDs. For 4.1.3_U1, this was fixed in patch 851 101790-01 (SunOS 4.1.3_U1: TCP socket and reset problems), later 852 obsoleted by patch 102010-05. 853 854 Sun patch 100584-08 is not currently publicly available on their 855 ftp site but a user has reported it can be found at other sites 856 using a web search engine. 857 858Solaris 2.x (SunOS 5.x) 859 To compile for Solaris, the Makefile built by Build must 860 include a SOLARIS definition which reflects the Solaris version 861 (i.e. -DSOLARIS=20400 for 2.4 or -DSOLARIS=20501 for 2.5.1). 862 If you are using gcc, make sure -I/usr/include is not used (or 863 it might complain about TopFrame). If you are using Sun's cc, 864 make sure /opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc is used instead of /usr/ucb/cc 865 (or it might complain about tm_zone). 866 867 The Solaris "syslog" function is apparently limited to something 868 about 90 characters because of a kernel limitation. If you have 869 source code, you can probably up this number. You can get patches 870 that fix this problem: the patch ids are: 871 872 Solaris 2.1 100834 873 Solaris 2.2 100999 874 Solaris 2.3 101318 875 876 Be sure you have the appropriate patch installed or you won't 877 see system logging. 878 879Solaris 2.4 (SunOS 5.4) 880 If you include /usr/lib at the end of your LD_LIBRARY_PATH you run 881 the risk of getting the wrong libraries under some circumstances. 882 This is because of a new feature in Solaris 2.4, described by 883 Rod.Evans@Eng.Sun.COM: 884 885 >> Prior to SunOS 5.4, any LD_LIBRARY_PATH setting was ignored by the 886 >> runtime linker if the application was setxid (secure), thus your 887 >> applications search path would be: 888 >> 889 >> /usr/local/lib LD_LIBRARY_PATH component - IGNORED 890 >> /usr/lib LD_LIBRARY_PATH component - IGNORED 891 >> /usr/local/lib RPATH - honored 892 >> /usr/lib RPATH - honored 893 >> 894 >> the effect is that path 3 would be the first used, and this would 895 >> satisfy your resolv.so lookup. 896 >> 897 >> In SunOS 5.4 we made the LD_LIBRARY_PATH a little more flexible. 898 >> People who developed setxid applications wanted to be able to alter 899 >> the library search path to some degree to allow for their own 900 >> testing and debugging mechanisms.

This new resolv.h is also 922 included in the Solaris 2.6 distribution. This causes compile 923 warnings such as: 924 925 In file included from daemon.c:51: 926 /usr/include/resolv.h:208: warning: `__P' redefined 927 cdefs.h:58: warning: this is the location of the previous definition 928 929 These warnings can be safely ignored or you can create a resolv.h 930 file in the obj.SunOS.5.5.1.* or obj.SunOS.5.6.* directory that reads: 931 932 #undef __P 933 #include "/usr/include/resolv.h" 934 935 Sun is aware of the problem (Sun bug ID 4081053) and it will be fixed 936 in Solaris 2.7. 937 938Solaris 7 (SunOS 5.7) 939 Solaris 7 includes LDAP libraries but the implementation was 940 lacking a few things. The following settings can be placed in 941 devtools/Site/site.SunOS.5.7.m4 if you plan on using those 942 libraries. 943 944 APPENDDEF(`confMAPDEF', `-DLDAPMAP') 945 APPENDDEF(`confENVDEF', `-DLDAP_VERSION_MAX=3') 946 APPENDDEF(`confLIBS', `-lldap') 947 948 Also, Sun's patch 107555 is needed to prevent a crash in the call 949 to ldap_set_option for LDAP_OPT_REFERRALS in ldapmap_setopts if 950 LDAP support is compiled in sendmail. 951 952Solaris 953 If you are using dns for hostname resolution on Solaris, make sure 954 that the 'dns' entry is last on the hosts line in 955 '/etc/nsswitch.conf'. For example, use: 956 957 hosts: nisplus files dns 958 959 Do not use: 960 961 host: nisplus dns [NOTFOUND=return] files 962 963 Note that 'nisplus' above is an illustration. The same comment 964 applies no matter what naming services you are using. If you have 965 anything other than dns last, even after "[NOTFOUND=return]", 966 sendmail may not be able to determine whether an error was 967 temporary or permanent. The error returned by the solaris 968 gethostbyname() is the error for the last lookup used, and other 969 naming services do not have the same concept of temporary failure. 970 971Ultrix 972 By default, the IDENT protocol is turned off on Ultrix. If you 973 are running Ultrix 4.4 or later, or if you have included patch 974 CXO-8919 for Ultrix 4.2 or 4.3 to fix the TCP problem, you can turn 975 IDENT on in the configuration file by setting the "ident" timeout. 976 977 The Ultrix 4.5 Y2K patch (ULTV45-022-1) has changed the resolver 978 included in libc.a. Unfortunately, the __RES symbol hasn't changed 979 and therefore, sendmail can no longer automatically detect the 980 newer version. If you get a compiler error: 981 982 /lib/libc.a(gethostent.o): local_hostname_length: multiply defined 983 984 Then rebuild with this in devtools/Site/site.ULTRIX.m4: 985 986 APPENDDEF(`conf_sendmail_ENVDEF', `-DNEEDLOCAL_HOSTNAME_LENGTH=0') 987 988Digital UNIX (formerly DEC OSF/1) 989 If you are compiling on OSF/1 (DEC Alpha), you must use 990 -L/usr/shlib (otherwise it core dumps on startup). You may also 991 need -mld to get the nlist() function, although some versions 992 apparently don't need this. 993 994 Also, the enclosed makefile removed /usr/sbin/smtpd; if you need 995 it, just create the link to the sendmail binary. 996 997 On DEC OSF/1 3.2 or earlier, the MatchGECOS option doesn't work 998 properly due to a bug in the getpw* routines. If you want to use 999 this, use -DDEC_OSF_BROKEN_GETPWENT=1. The problem is fixed in 3.2C. 1000 1001 Digital's mail delivery agent, /bin/mail (aka /bin/binmail), will 1002 only preserve the envelope sender in the "From " header if 1003 DefaultUserID is set to daemon. Setting this to mailnull will 1004 cause all mail to have the header "From mailnull ...". To use 1005 a different DefaultUserID, you will need to use a different mail 1006 delivery agent (such as mail.local found in the sendmail 1007 distribution). 1008 1009 On Digital UNIX 4.0 and later, Berkeley DB 1.85 is included with the 1010 operating system and already has the ndbm.o module removed. However, 1011 Digital has modified the original Berkeley DB db.h include file. 1012 This results in the following warning while compiling map.c and udb.c: 1013 1014 cc: Warning: /usr/include/db.h, line 74: The redefinition of the macro 1015 "__signed" conflicts with a current definition because the replacement 1016 lists differ. The redefinition is now in effect. 1017 #define __signed signed 1018 ------------------------^ 1019 1020 This warning can be ignored. 1021 1022 Digital UNIX's linker checks /usr/ccs/lib/ before /usr/lib/. 1023 If you have installed a new version of BIND in /usr/include 1024 and /usr/lib, you will experience difficulties as Digital ships 1025 libresolv.a in /usr/ccs/lib/ as well. Be sure to replace both 1026 copies of libresolv.a. 1027 1028IRIX 1029 The header files on SGI IRIX are completely prototyped, and as 1030 a result you can sometimes get some warning messages during 1031 compilation. These can be ignored. There are two errors in 1032 deliver only if you are using gcc, both of the form ``warning: 1033 passing arg N of `execve' from incompatible pointer type''. 1034 Also, if you compile with -DNIS, you will get a complaint 1035 about a declaration of struct dom_binding in a prototype 1036 when compiling map.c; this is not important because the 1037 function being prototyped is not used in that file. 1038 1039 In order to compile sendmail you will have had to install 1040 the developers' option in order to get the necessary include 1041 files. 1042 1043 If you compile with -lmalloc (the fast memory allocator), you may 1044 get warning messages such as the following: 1045 1046 ld32: WARNING 85: definition of _calloc in /usr/lib32/libmalloc.so 1047 preempts that definition in /usr/lib32/mips3/libc.so. 1048 ld32: WARNING 85: definition of _malloc in /usr/lib32/libmalloc.so 1049 preempts that definition in /usr/lib32/mips3/libc.so. 1050 ld32: WARNING 85: definition of _realloc in /usr/lib32/libmalloc.so 1051 preempts that definition in /usr/lib32/mips3/libc.so. 1052 ld32: WARNING 85: definition of _free in /usr/lib32/libmalloc.so 1053 preempts that definition in /usr/lib32/mips3/libc.so. 1054 ld32: WARNING 85: definition of _cfree in /usr/lib32/libmalloc.so 1055 preempts that definition in /usr/lib32/mips3/libc.so. 1056 1057 These are unavoidable and innocuous -- just ignore them. 1058 1059 According to Dave Sill <de5@ornl.gov>, there is a version of the 1060 Berkeley DB library patched to run on Irix 6.2 available from 1061 http://reality.sgi.com/ariel/freeware/#db . 1062 1063IRIX 6.x 1064 If you are using XFS filesystem, avoid using the -32 ABI switch to 1065 the cc compiler if possible. 1066 1067 Broken inet_aton and inet_ntoa on IRIX using gcc: There's 1068 a problem with gcc on IRIX, i.e., gcc can't pass structs 1069 less than 16 bits long unless they are 8 bits; IRIX 6.2 has 1070 some other sized structs. See 1071 http://www.bitmechanic.com/mail-archives/mysql/current/0418.html 1072 1073IRIX 6.4 1074 The IRIX 6.5.4 version of /bin/m4 does not work properly with 1075 sendmail. Either install fw_m4.sw.m4 off the Freeware_May99 CD and 1076 use /usr/freeware/bin/m4 or install and use GNU m4. 1077 1078NeXT or NEXTSTEP 1079 NEXTSTEP 3.3 and earlier ship with the old DBM library. Also, 1080 Berkeley DB does not currently run on NEXTSTEP. 1081 1082 If you are compiling on NEXTSTEP, you will have to create an 1083 empty file "unistd.h" and create a file "dirent.h" containing: 1084 1085 #include <sys/dir.h> 1086 #define dirent direct 1087 1088 (devtools/OS/NeXT should try to do both of these for you.) 1089 1090 Apparently, there is a bug in getservbyname on Nextstep 3.0 1091 that causes it to fail under some circumstances with the 1092 message "SYSERR: service "smtp" unknown" logged. You should 1093 be able to work around this by including the line: 1094 1095 OOPort=25 1096 1097 in your .cf file. 1098 1099BSDI (BSD/386) 1.0, NetBSD 0.9, FreeBSD 1.0 1100 The "m4" from BSDI won't handle the config files properly. 1101 I haven't had a chance to test this myself. 1102 1103 The M4 shipped in FreeBSD and NetBSD 0.9 don't handle the config 1104 files properly. One must use either GNU m4 1.1 or the PD-M4 1105 recently posted in comp.os.386bsd.bugs (and maybe others). 1106 NetBSD-current includes the PD-M4 (as stated in the NetBSD file 1107 CHANGES). 1108 1109 FreeBSD 1.0 RELEASE has uname(2) now. Use -DUSEUNAME in order to 1110 use it (look into devtools/OS/FreeBSD). NetBSD-current may have 1111 it too but it has not been verified. 1112 1113 The latest version of Berkeley DB uses a different naming 1114 scheme than the version that is supplied with your release. This 1115 means you will be able to use the current version of Berkeley DB 1116 with sendmail as long you use the new db.h when compiling 1117 sendmail and link it against the new libdb.a or libdb.so. You 1118 should probably keep the original db.h in /usr/include and the 1119 new db.h in /usr/local/include. 1120 11214.3BSD 1122 If you are running a "virgin" version of 4.3BSD, you'll have 1123 a very old resolver and be missing some header files. The 1124 header files are simple -- create empty versions and everything 1125 will work fine. For the resolver you should really port a new 1126 version (4.8.3 or later) of the resolver; 4.9 is available on 1127 gatekeeper.DEC.COM in pub/BSD/bind/4.9. If you are really 1128 determined to continue to use your old, buggy version (or as 1129 a shortcut to get sendmail working -- I'm sure you have the 1130 best intentions to port a modern version of BIND), you can 1131 copy ../contrib/oldbind.compat.c into sendmail and add the 1132 following to devtools/Site/site.config.m4: 1133 1134 APPENDDEF(`confOBJADD', `oldbind.compat.o') 1135 1136A/UX 1137 Date: Tue, 12 Oct 1993 18:28:28 -0400 (EDT) 1138 From: "Eric C. Hagberg" <hagberg@med.cornell.edu> 1139 Subject: Fix for A/UX ndbm 1140 1141 I guess this isn't really a sendmail bug, however, it is something 1142 that A/UX users should be aware of when compiling sendmail 8.6. 1143 1144 Apparently, the calls that sendmail is using to the ndbm routines 1145 in A/UX 3.0.x contain calls to "broken" routines, in that the 1146 aliases database will break when it gets "just a little big" 1147 (sorry I don't have exact numbers here, but it broke somewhere 1148 around 20-25 aliases for me.), making all aliases non-functional 1149 after exceeding this point. 1150 1151 What I did was to get the gnu-dbm-1.6 package, compile it, and 1152 then re-compile sendmail with "-lgdbm", "-DNDBM", and using the 1153 ndbm.h header file that comes with the gnu-package. This makes 1154 things behave properly. 1155 [NOTE: see comment above about GDBM] 1156 1157 I suppose porting the New Berkeley DB package is another route, 1158 however, I made a quick attempt at it, and found it difficult 1159 (not easy at least); the gnu-dbm package "configured" and 1160 compiled easily. 1161 1162 [NOTE: Berkeley DB version 2.X runs on A/UX and can be used for 1163 database maps.] 1164 1165SCO Unix 1166 From: Thomas Essebier <tom@stallion.oz.au> 1167 Organisation: Stallion Technologies Pty Ltd. 1168 1169 It will probably help those who are trying to configure sendmail 8.6.9 1170 to know that if they are on SCO, they had better set 1171 OI-dnsrch 1172 or they will core dump as soon as they try to use the resolver. 1173 ie. although SCO has _res.dnsrch defined, and is kinda BIND 4.8.3, it 1174 does not inititialise it, nor does it understand 'search' in 1175 /etc/named.boot. 1176 - sigh - 1177 1178 According to SCO, the m4 which ships with UnixWare 2.1.2 is broken. 1179 We recommend installing GNU m4 before attempting to build sendmail. 1180 1181DG/UX 1182 Doug Anderson <dlander@afterlife.ncsc.mil> has successfully run 1183 V8 on the DG/UX 5.4.2 and 5.4R3.x platforms under heavy usage. 1184 Originally, the DG /bin/mail program wasn't compatible with 1185 the V8 sendmail, since the DG /bin/mail requires the environment 1186 variable "_FORCE_MAIL_LOCAL_=yes" be set. Version 8.7 now includes 1187 this in the environment before invoking the local mailer. Some 1188 have used procmail to avoid this problem in the past. It works 1189 but some have experienced file locking problems with their DG/UX 1190 ports of procmail. 1191 1192Apollo DomainOS 1193 If you are compiling on Apollo, you will have to create an empty 1194 file "unistd.h" (for DomainOS 10.3 and earlier) and create a file 1195 "dirent.h" containing: 1196 1197 #include <sys/dir.h> 1198 #define dirent direct 1199 1200 (devtools/OS/DomainOS will attempt to do both of these for you.) 1201 1202HP-UX 8.00 1203 Date: Mon, 24 Jan 1994 13:25:45 +0200 1204 From: Kimmo Suominen <Kimmo.Suominen@lut.fi> 1205 Subject: 8.6.5 w/ HP-UX 8.00 on s300 1206 1207 Just compiled and fought with sendmail 8.6.5 on a HP9000/360 (ie. a 1208 series 300 machine) running HP-UX 8.00. 1209 1210 I was getting segmentation fault when delivering to a local user. 1211 With debugging I saw it was faulting when doing _free@libc... *sigh* 1212 It seems the new implementation of malloc on s300 is buggy as of 8.0, 1213 so I tried out the one in -lmalloc (malloc(3X)). With that it seems 1214 to work just dandy. 1215 1216 When linking, you will get the following error: 1217 1218 ld: multiply defined symbol _freespace in file /usr/lib/libmalloc.a 1219 1220 but you can just ignore it. You might want to add this info to the 1221 README file for the future... 1222 1223Linux 1224 Something broke between versions 0.99.13 and 0.99.14 of Linux: 1225 the flock() system call gives errors. If you are running .14, 1226 you must not use flock. You can do this with -DHASFLOCK=0. 1227 1228 Around the inclusion of bind-4.9.3 & Linux libc-4.6.20, the 1229 initialization of the _res structure changed. If /etc/hosts.conf 1230 was configured as "hosts, bind" the resolver code could return 1231 "Name server failure" errors. This is supposedly fixed in 1232 later versions of libc (>= 4.6.29?), and later versions of 1233 sendmail (> 8.6.10) try to work around the problem. 1234 1235 Some older versions (< 4.6.20?) of the libc/include files conflict 1236 with sendmail's version of cdefs.h. Deleting sendmail's version 1237 on those systems should be non-harmful, and new versions don't care. 1238 1239 Sendmail assumes that libc has snprintf, which has been true since 1240 libc 4.7.0. If you are running an older version, you will need to 1241 use -DHASSNPRINTF=0 in the Makefile. If may be able to use -lbsd 1242 (which includes snprintf) instead of turning this off on versions 1243 of libc between 4.4.4 and 4.7.0 (snprintf improves security, so 1244 you want to use this if at all possible). 1245 1246 NOTE ON LINUX & BIND: By default, the Makefile generated for Linux 1247 includes header files in /usr/local/include and libraries in 1248 /usr/local/lib. If you've installed BIND on your system, the header 1249 files typically end up in the search path and you need to add 1250 "-lresolv" to the LIBS line in your Makefile. Really old versions 1251 may need to include "-l44bsd" as well (particularly if the link phase 1252 complains about missing strcasecmp, strncasecmp or strpbrk). 1253 Complaints about an undefined reference to `__dn_skipname' in 1254 domain.o are a sure sign that you need to add -lresolv to LIBS. 1255 Newer versions of Linux are basically threaded BIND, so you may or 1256 may not see complaints if you accidentally mix BIND 1257 headers/libraries with virginal libc. If you have BIND headers in 1258 /usr/local/include (resolv.h, etc) you *should* be adding -lresolv 1259 to LIBS. Data structures may change and you'd be asking for a 1260 core dump. 1261 1262 A number of problems have been reported regarding the Linux 2.2.0 1263 kernel. So far, these problems have been tracked down to syslog() 1264 and DNS resolution. We believe the problem is with the poll() 1265 implementation in the Linux 2.2.0 kernel and poll()-aware versions 1266 of glib (at least up to 2.0.111). 1267 1268 Some pre-glibc distributions of Linux include a syslog.h that does 1269 not work properly with SFIO. You can fix this by adding 1270 "#include <syslog.h>" to the SFIO version of stdio.h as the very 1271 first line. 1272 1273glibc 1274 glibc 2.2.1 (and possibly other versions) changed the value of 1275 __RES in resolv.h but failed to actually provide the IPv6 API 1276 changes that the change implied. Therefore, compiling with 1277 -DNETINET6 fails. 1278 1279 Workarounds: 1280 1) Compile without -DNETINET6 1281 2) Build against a real BIND 8.2.2 include/lib tree 1282 3) Wait for glibc to fix it 1283 1284AIX 4.X 1285 The AIX 4.X linker uses library paths specified during compilation 1286 using -L for run-time shared library searches. Therefore, it is 1287 vital that relative and unsafe directory paths not be using when 1288 compiling sendmail. Because of this danger, by default, compiles 1289 on AIX use the -blibpath option to limit shared libraries to 1290 /usr/lib and /lib. If you need to allow more directories, such as 1291 /usr/local/lib, modify your devtools/Site/site.AIX.4.2.m4, 1292 site.AIX.4.3.m4, and/or site.AIX.4.x.m4 file(s) and set confLDOPTS 1293 approriately. For example: 1294 1295 define(`confLDOPTS', `-blibpath:/usr/lib:/lib:/usr/local/lib') 1296 1297 Be sure to only add (safe) system directories. 1298 1299 The AIX version of GNU ld also exhibits this problem. If you are 1300 using that version, instead of -blibpath, use its -rpath option. 1301 For example: 1302 1303 gcc -Wl,-rpath /usr/lib -Wl,-rpath /lib -Wl,-rpath /usr/local/lib 1304 1305AIX 4.3.3 1306 From: Valdis.Kletnieks@vt.edu 1307 Date: Sun, 02 Jul 2000 03:58:02 -0400 1308 1309 Under AIX 4.3.3, after applying bos.adt.include 4.3.3.12 to close the 1310 BIND 8.2.2 security holes, you can no longer build with -DNETINET6 1311 because they changed the value of __RES in resolv.h but failed to 1312 actually provide the API changes that the change implied. 1313 1314 Workarounds: 1315 1) Compile without -DNETINET6 1316 2) Build against a real BIND 8.2.2 include/lib tree 1317 3) Wait for IBM to fix it 1318 1319AIX 4.X 1320 The AIX m4 implements a different mechanism for ifdef which is 1321 inconsistent with other versions of m4. Therefore, it will not 1322 work properly with the sendmail Build architecture or m4 1323 configuration method. To work around this problem, please use 1324 GNU m4 from ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/. 1325 1326AIX 3.x 1327 This version of sendmail does not support MB, MG, and MR resource 1328 records, which are supported by AIX sendmail. 1329 1330 Several people have reported that the IBM-supplied named returns 1331 fairly random results -- the named should be replaced. It is not 1332 necessary to replace the resolver, which will simplify installation. 1333 A new BIND resolver can be found at http://www.isc.org/isc/. 1334 1335AIX 3.1.x 1336 The supplied load average code only works correctly for AIX 3.2.x. 1337 For 3.1, use -DLA_TYPE=LA_SUBR and get the latest ``monitor'' 1338 package by Jussi Maki <jmaki@hut.fi> from ftp.funet.fi in the 1339 directory pub/unix/AIX/rs6000/monitor-1.12.tar.Z; use the loadavgd 1340 daemon, and the getloadavg subroutine supplied with that package. 1341 If you don't care about load average throttling, just turn off 1342 load average checking using -DLA_TYPE=LA_ZERO. 1343 1344AIX 2.2.1 1345 Date: Mon Dec 4 14:14:56 CST 1995 1346 From: Mark Whetzel <markw@antimatr.houston.tx.us> 1347 Subject: Porting sendmail 8.7.2 to AIX V2 on the RT. 1348 1349 This version of sendmail does not support MB, MG, and MR resource 1350 records, which are supported by AIX sendmail. 1351 1352 AIX V2 on the RT does not have 'paths.h'. Create a null 1353 file in the 'obj' directory to remove this compile error. 1354 1355 A patch file is needed to get the BSD 'db' library to compile 1356 for AIX/RT. I have sent the necessary updates to the author, 1357 but they may not be immediately available. 1358 [NOTE: Berkeley DB version 2.X runs on AIX/RT.] 1359 1360 The original AIX/RT resolver libraries are very old, and you 1361 should get the latest BIND to replace it. The 4.8.3 version 1362 has been tested, but 4.9.x is out and should work. 1363 1364 To make the load average code work correctly requires an 1365 external routine, as the kernel does not maintain system 1366 load averages, similar to AIX V3.1.x. A reverse port of the 1367 older 1.05 'monitor' load average daemon code written by 1368 Jussi Maki that will work on AIX V2 for the RT is available 1369 by E-mail to Mark Whetzel <markw@antimatr.houston.tx.us>. 1370 That code depends on an external daemon to collect system 1371 load information, and the external routine 'getloadavg', 1372 that will return that information. The 'LA_SUBR' define 1373 will handle this for AIX V2 on the RT. 1374 1375 Note: You will have to change devtools/OS/AIX.2 to correctly 1376 point to the locatons of the updated BIND source tree and 1377 the location of the 'newdb' tree and library location. 1378 You will also have to change devtools/OS/AIX.2 to know 1379 about the location of the 'getloadavg' routine if you use 1380 the LA_SUBR define. 1381 1382RISC/os 1383 RISC/os from MIPS is a merged AT&T/Berkeley system. When you 1384 compile on that platform you will get duplicate definitions 1385 on many files. You can ignore these. 1386 1387System V Release 4 Based Systems 1388 There is a single devtools OS that is intended for all SVR4-based 1389 systems (built from devtools/OS/SVR4). It defines __svr4__, 1390 which is predefined by some compilers. If your compiler already 1391 defines this compile variable, you can delete the definition from 1392 the generated Makefile or create a devtools/Site/site.config.m4 1393 file. 1394 1395 It's been tested on Dell Issue 2.2. 1396 1397DELL SVR4 1398 Date: Mon, 06 Dec 1993 10:42:29 EST 1399 From: "Kimmo Suominen" <kim@grendel.lut.fi> 1400 Message-ID: <2d0352f9.lento29@lento29.UUCP> 1401 To: eric@cs.berkeley.edu 1402 Cc: sendmail@cs.berkeley.edu 1403 Subject: Notes for DELL SVR4 1404 1405 Eric, 1406 1407 Here are some notes for compiling Sendmail 8.6.4 on DELL SVR4. I ran 1408 across these things when helping out some people who contacted me by 1409 e-mail. 1410 1411 1) Use gcc 2.4.5 (or later?). Dell distributes gcc 2.1 with their 1412 Issue 2.2 Unix. It is too old, and gives you problems with 1413 clock.c, because sigset_t won't get defined in <sys/signal.h>. 1414 This is due to a problematic protection rule in there, and is 1415 fixed with gcc 2.4.5. 1416 1417 2) If you don't use the new Berkeley DB (-DNEWDB), then you need 1418 to add "-lc -lucb" to the libraries to link with. This is because 1419 the -ldbm distributed by Dell needs the bcopy, bcmp and bzero 1420 functions. It is important that you specify both libraries in 1421 the given order to be sure you only get the BSTRING functions 1422 from the UCB library (and not the signal routines etc.). 1423 1424 3) Don't leave out "-lelf" even if compiling with "-lc -lucb". 1425 The UCB library also has another copy of the nlist routines, 1426 but we do want the ones from "-lelf". 1427 1428 If anyone needs a compiled gcc 2.4.5 and/or a ported DB library, they 1429 can use anonymous ftp to fetch them from lut.fi in the /kim directory. 1430 They are copies of what I use on grendel.lut.fi, and offering them 1431 does not imply that I would also support them. I have sent the DB 1432 port for SVR4 back to Keith Bostic for inclusion in the official 1433 distribution, but I haven't heard anything from him as of today. 1434 1435 - gcc-2.4.5-svr4.tar.gz (gcc 2.4.5 and the corresponding libg++) 1436 - db-1.72.tar.gz (with source, objects and a installed copy) 1437 1438 Cheers 1439 + Kim 1440 -- 1441 * Kimmo.Suominen@lut.fi * SysVr4 enthusiast at GRENDEL.LUT.FI * 1442 * KIM@FINFILES.BITNET * Postmaster and Hostmaster at LUT.FI * 1443 * + 358 200 865 718 * Unix area moderator at NIC.FUNET.FI * 1444 1445ConvexOS 10.1 and below 1446 In order to use the name server, you must create the file 1447 /etc/use_nameserver. If this file does not exist, the call 1448 to res_init() will fail and you will have absolutely no 1449 access to DNS, including MX records. 1450 1451Amdahl UTS 2.1.5 1452 In order to get UTS to work, you will have to port BIND 4.9. 1453 The vendor's BIND is reported to be ``totally inadequate.'' 1454 See sendmail/contrib/AmdahlUTS.patch for the patches necessary 1455 to get BIND 4.9 compiled for UTS. 1456 1457UnixWare 1458 According to Alexander Kolbasov <sasha@unitech.gamma.ru>, 1459 the m4 on UnixWare 2.0 (still in Beta) will core dump on the 1460 config files. GNU m4 and the m4 from UnixWare 1.x both work. 1461 1462 According to Larry Rosenman <ler@lerami.lerctr.org>: 1463 1464 UnixWare 2.1.[23]'s m4 chokes (not obviously) when 1465 processing the 8.9.0 cf files. 1466 1467 I had a LOCAL_RULE_0 that wound up AFTER the 1468 SBasic_check_rcpt rules using the SCO supplied M4. 1469 GNU M4 works fine. 1470 1471UNICOS 8.0.3.4 1472 Some people have reported that the -O flag on UNICOS can cause 1473 problems. You may want to turn this off if you have problems 1474 running sendmail. Reported by Jerry G.

Use the version in conf.c instead. 1494 1495BIND 4.9.2 and Ultrix 1496 If you are running on Ultrix, be sure you read conf/Info.Ultrix 1497 in the BIND distribution very carefully -- there is information 1498 in there that you need to know in order to avoid errors of the 1499 form: 1500 1501 /lib/libc.a(gethostent.o): sethostent: multiply defined 1502 /lib/libc.a(gethostent.o): endhostent: multiply defined 1503 /lib/libc.a(gethostent.o): gethostbyname: multiply defined 1504 /lib/libc.a(gethostent.o): gethostbyaddr: multiply defined 1505 1506 during the link stage. 1507 1508BIND 8.X 1509 BIND 8.X returns HOST_NOT_FOUND instead of TRY_AGAIN on temporary 1510 DNS failures when trying to find the hostname associated with an IP 1511 address (gethostbyaddr()). This can cause problems as 1512 $&{client_name} based lookups in class R ($=R) and the access 1513 database won't succeed. 1514 1515 This will be fixed in BIND 8.2.1. For earlier versions, this can 1516 be fixed by making "dns" the last name service queried for host 1517 resolution in /etc/irs.conf: 1518 1519 hosts local continue 1520 hosts dns 1521 1522strtoul 1523 Some compilers (notably gcc) claim to be ANSI C but do not 1524 include the ANSI-required routine "strtoul". If your compiler 1525 has this problem, you will get an error in srvrsmtp.c on the 1526 code: 1527 1528 # ifdef defined(__STDC__) && !defined(BROKEN_ANSI_LIBRARY) 1529 e->e_msgsize = strtoul(vp, (char **) NULL, 10); 1530 # else 1531 e->e_msgsize = strtol(vp, (char **) NULL, 10); 1532 # endif 1533 1534 You can use -DBROKEN_ANSI_LIBRARY to get around this problem. 1535 1536Listproc 6.0c 1537 Date: 23 Sep 1995 23:56:07 GMT 1538 Message-ID: <95925101334.~INN-AUMa00187.comp-news@dl.ac.uk> 1539 From: alansz@mellers1.psych.berkeley.edu (Alan Schwartz) 1540 Subject: Listproc 6.0c + Sendmail 8.7 [Helpful hint] 1541 1542 Just upgraded to sendmail 8.7, and discovered that listproc 6.0c 1543 breaks, because it, by default, sends a blank "HELO" rather than 1544 a "HELO hostname" when using the 'system' or 'telnet' mailmethod. 1545 1546 The fix is to include -DZMAILER in the compilation, which will 1547 cause it to use "HELO hostname" (which Z-mail apparently requires 1548 as well. :) 1549 1550OpenSSL 1551 OpenSSL versions prior to 0.9.6 use a macro named Free which 1552 conflicts with existing macro names on some platforms, such as 1553 AIX. 1554 Do not use 0.9.3, but OpenSSL 0.9.5a or later if compatible with 1555 0.9.5a. 1556 1557sfio 1558 You may run into problems if you use sfio2000 (the body of a 1559 message is lost). Use sfio1999 instead; however, it also has 1560 a bug that can cause sendmail to fail. A patch has been provided 1561 by Petr Lampa of Brno University of Technology, which is given here: 1562 1563diff -rc ../../../../sfio/src/lib/sfio/sfputr.c ./sfputr.c 1564*** ../../../../sfio/src/lib/sfio/sfputr.c Tue May 16 18:25:49 2000 1565--- ./sfputr.c Wed Sep 20 09:06:01 2000 1566*************** 1567*** 24,29 **** 1568--- 24,30 ---- 1569 for(w = 0; (*s || rc >= 0); ) 1570 { SFWPEEK(f,ps,p); 1571 1572+ if(p == -1) return -1; /* PL */ 1573 if(p == 0 || (f->flags&SF_WHOLE) ) 1574 { n = strlen(s); 1575 if(p >= (n + (rc < 0 ? 0 : 1)) ) 1576 1577 1578PH 1579 PH support is provided by Mark Roth <roth@uiuc.edu>.

If not, a bad guy whom 1595 you reject will connect to your site, fail, and move on to the next 1596 MX site, which will accept the mail for you and forward it on to you. 1597 1598Regular Expressions (MAP_REGEX) 1599 If sendmail linking fails with: 1600 1601 undefined reference to 'regcomp' 1602 1603 or sendmail gives an error about a regular expression with: 1604 1605 pattern-compile-error: : Operation not applicable 1606 1607 Your libc does not include a running version of POSIX-regex. Use 1608 librx or regex.o from the GNU Free Software Foundation, 1609 ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/rx-?.?.tar.gz or 1610 ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/regex-?.?.tar.gz. 1611 You can also use the regex-lib by Henry Spencer, 1612 ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/languages/C/spencer/regex.shar.gz 1613 Make sure, your compiler reads regex.h from the distribution, 1614 not from /usr/include, otherwise sendmail will dump a core. 1615 1616 1617+--------------+ 1618| MANUAL PAGES | 1619+--------------+ 1620 1621The manual pages have been written against the -man macros, and 1622should format correctly with any reasonable *roff. 1623 1624 1625+-----------------+ 1626| DEBUGGING HOOKS | 1627+-----------------+ 1628 1629As of 8.6.5, sendmail daemons will catch a SIGUSR1 signal and log 1630some debugging output (logged at LOG_DEBUG severity). The 1631information dumped is: 1632 1633 * The value of the $j macro. 1634 * A warning if $j is not in the set $=w. 1635 * A list of the open file descriptors. 1636 * The contents of the connection cache. 1637 * If ruleset 89 is defined, it is evaluated and the results printed. 1638 1639This allows you to get information regarding the runtime state of the 1640daemon on the fly. This should not be done too frequently, since 1641the process of rewriting may lose memory which will not be recovered. 1642Also, ruleset 89 may call non-reentrant routines, so there is a small 1643non-zero probability that this will cause other problems. It is 1644really only for debugging serious problems. 1645 1646A typical formulation of ruleset 89 would be: 1647 1648 R$* $@ $>0 some test address 1649 1650 1651+-----------------------------+ 1652| DESCRIPTION OF SOURCE FILES | 1653+-----------------------------+ 1654 1655The following list describes the files in this directory: 1656 1657Build Shell script for building sendmail. 1658Makefile A convenience for calling ./Build. 1659Makefile.m4 A template for constructing a makefile based on the 1660 information in the devtools directory. 1661README This file. 1662TRACEFLAGS My own personal list of the trace flags -- not guaranteed 1663 to be particularly up to date. 1664alias.c Does name aliasing in all forms. 1665aliases.5 Man page describing the format of the aliases file. 1666arpadate.c A subroutine which creates ARPANET standard dates. 1667bf.h Buffered file I/O function declarations. 1668bf_portable.c Stub routines for systems lacking the Torek stdio library. 1669bf_portable.h Data structure and function declarations for bf_portable.c. 1670bf_torek.c Routines to implement memory-buffered file system using 1671 hooks provided by Torek stdio library. 1672bf_torek.h Data structure and function declarations for bf_torek.c. 1673clock.c Routines to implement real-time oriented functions 1674 in sendmail -- e.g., timeouts. 1675collect.c The routine that actually reads the mail into a temp 1676 file.
