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. 117 BIND 8.X also includes Hesiod support. 118LDAPMAP Lightweight Directory Access Protocol support. You will 119 have to install the UMich or OpenLDAP 120 (http://www.openldap.org/) ldap and lber libraries to use 121 this flag. 122MAP_REGEX Regular Expression support. You will need to use an 123 operating system which comes with the POSIX regex() 124 routines or install a regexp library such as libregex from 125 the Free Software Foundation. 126PH_MAP PH map support. You will need the qi PH package. 127MAP_NSD nsd map support (IRIX 6.5 and later). 128 129>>> NOTE WELL for NEWDB support: If you want to get ndbm support, for 130>>> Berkeley DB versions under 2.0, it is CRITICAL that you remove 131>>> ndbm.o from libdb.a before you install it and DO NOT install ndbm.h; 132>>> for Berkeley DB versions 2.0 through 2.3.14, remove dbm.o from libdb.a 133>>> before you install it. If you don't delete these, there is absolutely 134>>> no point to including -DNDBM, since it will just get you another 135>>> (inferior) API to the same format database. These files OVERRIDE 136>>> calls to ndbm routines -- in particular, if you leave ndbm.h in, 137>>> you can find yourself using the new db package even if you don't 138>>> define NEWDB. Berkeley DB versions later than 2.3.14 do not need 139>>> to be modified. Please also consult the README in the top level 140>>> directory of the sendmail distribution for other important information. 141>>> 142>>> Further note: DO NOT remove your existing /usr/include/ndbm.h -- 143>>> you need that one. But do not install an updated ndbm.h in 144>>> /usr/include, /usr/local/include, or anywhere else. 145 146If NEWDB and NDBM are defined (but not NIS), then sendmail will read 147NDBM format alias files, but the next time a newaliases is run the 148format will be converted to NEWDB; that format will be used forever 149more. This is intended as a transition feature. 150 151If NEWDB, NDBM, and NIS are all defined and the name of the file includes 152the string "/yp/", sendmail will rebuild BOTH the NEWDB and NDBM format 153alias files. However, it will only read the NEWDB file; the NDBM format 154file is used only by the NIS subsystem. This is needed because the NIS 155maps on an NIS server are built directly from the NDBM files. 156 157If NDBM and NIS are defined (regardless of the definition of NEWDB), 158and the filename includes the string "/yp/", sendmail adds the special 159tokens "YP_LAST_MODIFIED" and "YP_MASTER_NAME", both of which are 160required if the NDBM file is to be used as an NIS map. 161 162All of these flags are normally defined in the DBMDEF line in the 163Makefile. 164 165If you define NEWDB or HESIOD you get the User Database (USERDB) 166automatically. Generally you do want to have NEWDB for it to do 167anything interesting. See above for getting the Berkeley DB 168package (i.e., NEWDB). There is no separate "user database" 169package -- don't bother searching for it on the net. 170 171Hesiod and LDAP require libraries that may not be installed with your 172system. These are outside of my ability to provide support. See the 173"Quirks" section for more information. 174 175The regex map can be used to see if an address matches a certain regular 176expression. For example, all-numerics local parts are common spam 177addresses, so "^[0-9]+$" would match this. By using such a map in a 178check_* rule-set, you can block a certain range of addresses that would 179otherwise be considered valid. 180 181 182+---------------+ 183| COMPILE FLAGS | 184+---------------+ 185 186Wherever possible, I try to make sendmail pull in the correct 187compilation options needed to compile on various environments based on 188automatically defined symbols. Some machines don't seem to have useful 189symbols available, requiring that a compilation flag be defined in 190the Makefile; see the devtools/OS subdirectory for the supported 191architectures. 192 193If you are a system to which sendmail has already been ported you 194should not have to touch the following symbols. But if you are porting, 195you may have to tweak the following compilation flags in conf.h in order 196to get it to compile and link properly: 197 198SYSTEM5 Adjust for System V (not necessarily Release 4). 199SYS5SIGNALS Use System V signal semantics -- the signal handler 200 is automatically dropped when the signal is caught. 201 If this is not set, use POSIX/BSD semantics, where the 202 signal handler stays in force until an exec or an 203 explicit delete. Implied by SYSTEM5. 204SYS5SETPGRP Use System V setpgrp() semantics. Implied by SYSTEM5. 205HASFCHMOD Define this to one if you have the fchmod(2) system call. 206 This improves security. 207HASFCHOWN Define this to one if you have the fchown(2) system call. 208 This is required for the TrustedUser option. 209HASFLOCK Set this if you prefer to use the flock(2) system call 210 rather than using fcntl-based locking. Fcntl locking 211 has some semantic gotchas, but many vendor systems 212 also interface it to lockd(8) to do NFS-style locking. 213 Unfortunately, may vendors implementations of fcntl locking 214 is just plain broken (e.g., locks are never released, 215 causing your sendmail to deadlock; when the kernel runs 216 out of locks your system crashes). For this reason, I 217 recommend always defining this unless you are absolutely 218 certain that your fcntl locking implementation really works. 219HASUNAME Set if you have the "uname" system call. Implied by 220 SYSTEM5. 221HASUNSETENV Define this if your system library has the "unsetenv" 222 subroutine. 223HASSETSID Define this if you have the setsid(2) system call. This 224 is implied if your system appears to be POSIX compliant. 225HASINITGROUPS Define this if you have the initgroups(3) routine. 226HASSETVBUF Define this if you have the setvbuf(3) library call. 227 If you don't, setlinebuf will be used instead. This 228 defaults on if your compiler defines __STDC__. 229HASSETREUID Define this if you have setreuid(2) ***AND*** root can 230 use setreuid to change to an arbitrary user. This second 231 condition is not satisfied on AIX 3.x. You may find that 232 your system has setresuid(2), (for example, on HP-UX) in 233 which case you will also have to #define setreuid(r, e) 234 to be the appropriate call. Some systems (such as Solaris) 235 have a compatibility routine that doesn't work properly, 236 but may have "saved user ids" properly implemented so you 237 can ``#define setreuid(r, e) seteuid(e)'' and have it work. 238 The important thing is that you have a call that will set 239 the effective uid independently of the real or saved uid 240 and be able to set the effective uid back again when done. 241 There's a test program in ../test/t_setreuid.c that will 242 try things on your system. Setting this improves the 243 security, since sendmail doesn't have to read .forward 244 and :include: files as root. There are certain attacks 245 that may be unpreventable without this call. 246USESETEUID Define this to 1 if you have a seteuid(2) system call that 247 will allow root to set only the effective user id to an 248 arbitrary value ***AND*** you have saved user ids. This is 249 preferable to HASSETREUID if these conditions are fulfilled. 250 These are the semantics of the to-be-released revision of 251 Posix.1. The test program ../test/t_seteuid.c will try 252 this out on your system. If you define both HASSETREUID 253 and USESETEUID, the former is ignored. 254HASLSTAT Define this if you have symbolic links (and thus the 255 lstat(2) system call). This improves security. Unlike 256 most other options, this one is on by default, so you 257 need to #undef it in conf.h if you don't have symbolic 258 links (these days everyone does). 259HASSETRLIMIT Define this to 1 if you have the setrlimit(2) syscall. 260 You can define it to 0 to force it off. It is assumed 261 if you are running a BSD-like system. 262HASULIMIT Define this if you have the ulimit(2) syscall (System V 263 style systems). HASSETRLIMIT overrides, as it is more 264 general. 265HASWAITPID Define this if you have the waitpid(2) syscall. 266HASGETDTABLESIZE 267 Define this if you have the getdtablesize(2) syscall. 268HAS_ST_GEN Define this to 1 if your system has the st_gen field in 269 the stat structure (see stat(2)). 270HASSRANDOMDEV Define this if your system has the srandomdev(3) function 271 call. 272HASURANDOMDEV Define this if your system has /dev/urandom(4). 273HASSTRERROR Define this if you have the libc strerror(3) function (which 274 should be declared in <errno.h>), and it should be used 275 instead of sys_errlist. 276NEEDGETOPT Define this if you need a reimplementation of getopt(3). 277 On some systems, getopt does very odd things if called 278 to scan the arguments twice. This flag will ask sendmail 279 to compile in a local version of getopt that works 280 properly. 281NEEDSTRTOL Define this if your standard C library does not define 282 strtol(3). This will compile in a local version. 283NEEDVPRINTF Define this if your standard C library does not define 284 vprintf(3). Note that the resulting fake implementation 285 is not very elegant and may not even work on some 286 architectures. 287NEEDFSYNC Define this if your standard C library does not define 288 fsync(2). This will try to simulate the operation using 289 fcntl(2); if that is not available it does nothing, which 290 isn't great, but at least it compiles and runs. 291HASGETUSERSHELL Define this to 1 if you have getusershell(3) in your 292 standard C library. If this is not defined, or is defined 293 to be 0, sendmail will scan the /etc/shells file (no 294 NIS-style support, defaults to /bin/sh and /bin/csh if 295 that file does not exist) to get a list of unrestricted 296 user shells. This is used to determine whether users 297 are allowed to forward their mail to a program or a file. 298NEEDPUTENV Define this if your system needs am emulation of the 299 putenv(3) call. Define to 1 to implement it in terms 300 of setenv(3) or to 2 to do it in terms of primitives. 301NOFTRUNCATE Define this if you don't have the ftruncate(2) syscall. 302 If you don't have this system call, there is an unavoidable 303 race condition that occurs when creating alias databases. 304GIDSET_T The type of entries in a gidset passed as the second 305 argument to getgroups(2). Historically this has been an 306 int, so this is the default, but some systems (such as 307 IRIX) pass it as a gid_t, which is an unsigned short. 308 This will make a difference, so it is important to get 309 this right! However, it is only an issue if you have 310 group sets. 311SLEEP_T The type returned by the system sleep() function. 312 Defaults to "unsigned int". Don't worry about this 313 if you don't have compilation problems. 314ARBPTR_T The type of an arbitrary pointer -- defaults to "void *". 315 If you are an very old compiler you may need to define 316 this to be "char *". 317SOCKADDR_LEN_T The type used for the third parameter to accept(2), 318 getsockname(2), and getpeername(2), representing the 319 length of a struct sockaddr. Defaults to int. 320SOCKOPT_LEN_T The type used for the fifth parameter to getsockopt(2) 321 and setsockopt(2), representing the length of the option 322 buffer. Defaults to int. 323LA_TYPE The type of load average your kernel supports. These 324 can be one of: 325 LA_ZERO (1) -- it always returns the load average as 326 "zero" (and does so on all architectures). 327 LA_INT (2) to read /dev/kmem for the symbol avenrun and 328 interpret as a long integer. 329 LA_FLOAT (3) same, but interpret the result as a floating 330 point number. 331 LA_SHORT (6) to interpret as a short integer. 332 LA_SUBR (4) if you have the getloadavg(3) routine in your 333 system library. 334 LA_MACH (5) to use MACH-style load averages (calls 335 processor_set_info()), 336 LA_PROCSTR (7) to read /proc/loadavg and interpret it 337 as a string representing a floating-point 338 number (Linux-style). 339 LA_READKSYM (8) is an implementation suitable for some 340 versions of SVr4 that uses the MIOC_READKSYM ioctl 341 call to read /dev/kmem. 342 LA_DGUX (9) is a special implementation for DG/UX that uses 343 the dg_sys_info system call. 344 LA_HPUX (10) is an HP-UX specific version that uses the 345 pstat_getdynamic system call. 346 LA_IRIX6 (11) is an IRIX 6.x specific version that adapts 347 to 32 or 64 bit kernels; it is otherwise very similar 348 to LA_INT. 349 LA_KSTAT (12) uses the (Solaris-specific) kstat(3k) 350 implementation. 351 LA_DEVSHORT (13) reads a short from a system file (default: 352 /dev/table/avenrun) and scales it in the same manner 353 as LA_SHORT. 354 LA_INT, LA_SHORT, LA_FLOAT, and LA_READKSYM have several 355 other parameters that they try to divine: the name of your 356 kernel, the name of the variable in the kernel to examine, 357 the number of bits of precision in a fixed point load average, 358 and so forth. LA_DEVSHORT uses _PATH_AVENRUN to find the 359 device to be read to find the load average. 360 In desperation, use LA_ZERO. The actual code is in 361 conf.c -- it can be tweaked if you are brave. 362FSHIFT For LA_INT, LA_SHORT, and LA_READKSYM, this is the number 363 of bits of load average after the binary point -- i.e., 364 the number of bits to shift right in order to scale the 365 integer to get the true integer load average. Defaults to 8. 366_PATH_UNIX The path to your kernel. Needed only for LA_INT, LA_SHORT, 367 and LA_FLOAT. Defaults to "/unix" on System V, "/vmunix" 368 everywhere else. 369LA_AVENRUN For LA_INT, LA_SHORT, and LA_FLOAT, the name of the kernel 370 variable that holds the load average. Defaults to "avenrun" 371 on System V, "_avenrun" everywhere else. 372SFS_TYPE Encodes how your kernel can locate the amount of free 373 space on a disk partition. This can be set to SFS_NONE 374 (0) if you have no way of getting this information, 375 SFS_USTAT (1) if you have the ustat(2) system call, 376 SFS_4ARGS (2) if you have a four-argument statfs(2) 377 system call (and the include file is <sys/statfs.h>), 378 SFS_VFS (3), SFS_MOUNT (4), SFS_STATFS (5) if you have 379 the two-argument statfs(2) system call with includes in 380 <sys/vfs.h>, <sys/mount.h>, or <sys/statfs.h> respectively, 381 or SFS_STATVFS (6) if you have the two-argument statvfs(2) 382 call. The default if nothing is defined is SFS_NONE. 383SFS_BAVAIL with SFS_4ARGS you can also set SFS_BAVAIL to the field name 384 in the statfs structure that holds the useful information; 385 this defaults to f_bavail. 386SPT_TYPE Encodes how your system can display what a process is doing 387 on a ps(1) command (SPT stands for Set Process Title). Can 388 be set to: 389 SPT_NONE (0) -- Don't try to set the process title at all. 390 SPT_REUSEARGV (1) -- Pad out your argv with the information; 391 this is the default if none specified. 392 SPT_BUILTIN (2) -- The system library has setproctitle. 393 SPT_PSTAT (3) -- Use the PSTAT_SETCMD option to pstat(2) 394 to set the process title; this is used by HP-UX. 395 SPT_PSSTRINGS (4) -- Use the magic PS_STRINGS pointer (4.4BSD). 396 SPT_SYSMIPS (5) -- Use sysmips() supported by NEWS-OS 6. 397 SPT_SCO (6) -- Write kernel u. area. 398 SPT_CHANGEARGV (7) -- Write pointers to our own strings into 399 the existing argv vector. 400SPT_PADCHAR Character used to pad the process title; if undefined, 401 the space character (0x20) is used. This is ignored if 402 SPT_TYPE != SPT_REUSEARGV 403ERRLIST_PREDEFINED 404 If set, assumes that some header file defines sys_errlist. 405 This may be needed if you get type conflicts on this 406 variable -- otherwise don't worry about it. 407WAITUNION The wait(2) routine takes a "union wait" argument instead 408 of an integer argument. This is for compatibility with 409 old versions of BSD. 410SCANF You can set this to extend the F command to accept a 411 scanf string -- this gives you a primitive parser for 412 class definitions -- BUT it can make you vulnerable to 413 core dumps if the target file is poorly formed. 414SYSLOG_BUFSIZE You can define this to be the size of the buffer that 415 syslog accepts. If it is not defined, it assumes a 416 1024-byte buffer. If the buffer is very small (under 417 256 bytes) the log message format changes -- each 418 e-mail message will log many more messages, since it 419 will log each piece of information as a separate line 420 in syslog. 421BROKEN_RES_SEARCH 422 On Ultrix (and maybe other systems?) if you use the 423 res_search routine with an unknown host name, it returns 424 -1 but sets h_errno to 0 instead of HOST_NOT_FOUND. If 425 you set this, sendmail considers 0 to be the same as 426 HOST_NOT_FOUND. 427NAMELISTMASK If defined, values returned by nlist(3) are masked 428 against this value before use -- a common value is 429 0x7fffffff to strip off the top bit. 430BSD4_4_SOCKADDR If defined, socket addresses have an sa_len field that 431 defines the length of this address. 432SAFENFSPATHCONF Set this to 1 if and only if you have verified that a 433 pathconf(2) call with _PC_CHOWN_RESTRICTED argument on an 434 NFS filesystem where the underlying system allows users to 435 give away files to other users returns <= 0. Be sure you 436 try both on NFS V2 and V3. Some systems assume that their 437 local policy apply to NFS servers -- this is a bad 438 assumption! The test/t_pathconf.c program will try this 439 for you -- you have to run it in a directory that is 440 mounted from a server that allows file giveaway. 441SIOCGIFCONF_IS_BROKEN 442 Set this if your system has an SIOCGIFCONF ioctl defined, 443 but it doesn't behave the same way as "most" systems (BSD, 444 Solaris, SunOS, HP-UX, etc.) 445SIOCGIFNUM_IS_BROKEN 446 Set this if your system has an SIOCGIFNUM ioctl defined, 447 but it doesn't behave the same way as "most" systems 448 (Solaris, HP-UX). 449NEED_PERCENTQ Set this if your system doesn't support the printf 450 format strings %lld or %llu. If this is set, %qd and 451 %qu are used instead. 452FAST_PID_RECYCLE 453 Set this if your system can reuse the same PID in the same 454 second. 455SO_REUSEADDR_IS_BROKEN 456 Set this if your system has a setsockopt() SO_REUSEADDR 457 flag but doesn't pay attention to it when trying to bind a 458 socket to a recently closed port. 459SNPRINTF_IS_BROKEN 460 Set this if your system has an snprintf() implementation 461 which does not NUL terminate the string being filled in. 462 Use test/t_snprintf.c to test your system. 463NEEDSGETIPNODE Set this if your system supports IPv6 but doesn't include 464 the getipnodeby{name,addr}() functions. Set automatically 465 for Linux's glibc. 466 467 468+-----------------------+ 469| COMPILE-TIME FEATURES | 470+-----------------------+ 471 472There are a bunch of features that you can decide to compile in, such 473as selecting various database packages and special protocol support. 474Several are assumed based on other compilation flags -- if you want to 475"un-assume" something, you probably need to edit conf.h. Compilation 476flags that add support for special features include: 477 478NDBM Include support for "new" DBM library for aliases and maps. 479 Normally defined in the Makefile. 480NEWDB Include support for Berkeley DB package (hash & btree) 481 for aliases and maps. Normally defined in the Makefile. 482 If the version of NEWDB you have is the old one that does 483 not include the "fd" call (this call was added in version 484 1.5 of the Berkeley DB code), you must upgrade to the 485 current version of Berkeley DB. 486NIS Define this to get NIS (YP) support for aliases and maps. 487 Normally defined in the Makefile. 488NISPLUS Define this to get NIS+ support for aliases and maps. 489 Normally defined in the Makefile. 490HESIOD Define this to get Hesiod support for aliases and maps. 491 Normally defined in the Makefile. 492NETINFO Define this to get NeXT NetInfo support for aliases and maps. 493 Normally defined in the Makefile. 494LDAPMAP Define this to get LDAP support for maps. 495PH_MAP Define this to get PH support for maps. 496MAP_NSD Define this to get nsd support for maps. 497USERDB Define this to 1 to include support for the User Information 498 Database. Implied by NEWDB or HESIOD. You can use 499 -DUSERDB=0 to explicitly turn it off. 500IDENTPROTO Define this as 1 to get IDENT (RFC 1413) protocol support. 501 This is assumed unless you are running on Ultrix or 502 HP-UX, both of which have a problem in the UDP 503 implementation. You can define it to be 0 to explicitly 504 turn off IDENT protocol support. If defined off, the code 505 is actually still compiled in, but it defaults off; you 506 can turn it on by setting the IDENT timeout in the 507 configuration file. 508IP_SRCROUTE Define this to 1 to get IP source routing information 509 displayed in the Received: header. This is assumed on 510 most systems, but some (e.g., Ultrix) apparently have a 511 broken version of getsockopt that doesn't properly 512 support the IP_OPTIONS call. You probably want this if 513 your OS can cope with it. Symptoms of failure will be that 514 it won't compile properly (that is, no support for fetching 515 IP_OPTIONs), or it compiles but source-routed TCP connections 516 either refuse to open or open and hang for no apparent reason. 517 Ultrix and AIX3 are known to fail this way. 518LOG Set this to get syslog(3) support. Defined by default 519 in conf.h. You want this if at all possible. 520NETINET Set this to get TCP/IP support. Defined by default 521 in conf.h. You probably want this. 522NETINET6 Set this to get IPv6 support. Other configuration may 523 be needed in conf.h for your particular operating system. 524 Also, DaemonPortOptions must be set appropriately for 525 sendmail to accept IPv6 connections. 526NETISO Define this to get ISO networking support. 527NETUNIX Define this to get Unix domain networking support. Defined 528 by default. A few bizarre systems (SCO, ISC, Altos) don't 529 support this networking domain. 530NETNS Define this to get NS networking support. 531NETX25 Define this to get X.25 networking support. 532SMTP Define this to get the SMTP code. Implied by NETINET 533 or NETISO. 534NAMED_BIND If non-zero, include DNS (name daemon) support, including 535 MX support. The specs say you must use this if you run 536 SMTP. You don't have to be running a name server daemon 537 on your machine to need this -- any use of the DNS resolver, 538 including remote access to another machine, requires this 539 option. Defined by default in conf.h. Define it to zero 540 ONLY on machines that do not use DNS in any way. 541QUEUE Define this to get queueing code. Implied by NETINET 542 or NETISO; required by SMTP. This gives you other good 543 stuff -- it should be on. 544DAEMON Define this to get general network support. Implied by 545 NETINET or NETISO. Defined by default in conf.h. You 546 almost certainly want it on. 547MATCHGECOS Permit fuzzy matching of user names against the full 548 name (GECOS) field in the /etc/passwd file. This should 549 probably be on, since you can disable it from the config 550 file if you want to. Defined by default in conf.h. 551MIME8TO7 If non-zero, include 8 to 7 bit MIME conversions. This 552 also controls advertisement of 8BITMIME in the ESMTP 553 startup dialogue. 554MIME7TO8 If non-zero, include 7 to 8 bit MIME conversions. 555HES_GETMAILHOST Define this to 1 if you are using Hesiod with the 556 hes_getmailhost() routine. This is included with the MIT 557 Hesiod distribution, but not with the DEC Hesiod distribution. 558XDEBUG Do additional internal checking. These don't cost too 559 much; you might as well leave this on. 560TCPWRAPPERS Turns on support for the TCP wrappers library (-lwrap). 561 See below for further information. 562SECUREWARE Enable calls to the SecureWare luid enabling/changing routines. 563 SecureWare is a C2 security package added to several UNIX's 564 (notably ConvexOS) to get a C2 Secure system. This 565 option causes mail delivery to be done with the luid of the 566 recipient. 567SHARE_V1 Support for the fair share scheduler, version 1. Setting to 568 1 causes final delivery to be done using the recipients 569 resource limitations. So far as I know, this is only 570 supported on ConvexOS. 571SASL Enables SMTP AUTH (RFC 2554). This requires the Cyrus SASL 572 library (ftp://ftp.andrew.cmu.edu/pub/cyrus-mail/). Please 573 install at least version 1.5.13. See below for further 574 information: SASL COMPILATION AND CONFIGURATION. If your 575 SASL library is older than 1.5.10, you have to set this 576 to its version number using a simple conversion: a.b.c 577 -> c + b*100 + a*10000, e.g. for 1.5.9 define SASL=10509. 578 Note: Using an older version than 1.5.5 of Cyrus SASL is 579 not supported. Starting with version 1.5.10, setting SASL=1 580 is sufficient. Any value other than 1 (or 0) will be 581 compared with the actual version found and if there is a 582 mismatch, compilation will fail. 583EGD Define this if your system has EGD installed, see 584 http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/ . It should be used to 585 seed the PRNG for STARTTLS if HASURANDOMDEV is not defined. 586STARTTLS Enables SMTP STARTTLS (RFC 2487). This requires OpenSSL 587 (http://www.OpenSSL.org/) and sfio (see below). 588 Use OpenSSL 0.9.5a or later (if compatible with this 589 version), do not use 0.9.3. 590 See STARTTLS COMPILATION AND CONFIGURATION for further 591 information. 592TLS_NO_RSA Turn off support for RSA algorithms in STARTTLS. 593SFIO Uses sfio instead of stdio. sfio is available from AT&T 594 (http://www.research.att.com/sw/tools/sfio/). If this 595 compile flag is set, confSTDIO_TYPE must be set to portable. 596 This compile flag is necessary for STARTTLS; it also 597 enables the security layer of SASL. The sfio include file 598 stdio.h must be installed in a subdirectory called sfio, 599 i.e., if you install sfio in /usr/local, stdio.h should 600 be in /usr/local/include/sfio, and libsfio.a should be in 601 /usr/local/lib. Notice: read the sfio section in 602 OPERATING SYSTEM AND COMPILE QUIRKS. 603 604 605Generic notice: If you enable a compile time option that needs 606libraries or include files that don't come with sendmail or are 607installed in a location that your C compiler doesn't use by default 608you should set confINCDIRS and confLIBDIRS as explained in the 609first section: BUILDING SENDMAIL. 610 611 612+---------------------+ 613| DNS/RESOLVER ISSUES | 614+---------------------+ 615 616Many systems have old versions of the resolver library. At a minimum, 617you should be running BIND 4.8.3; older versions may compile, but they 618have known bugs that should give you pause. 619 620Common problems in old versions include "undefined" errors for 621dn_skipname. 622 623Some people have had a problem with BIND 4.9; it uses some routines 624that it expects to be externally defined such as strerror(). It may 625help to link with "-l44bsd" to solve this problem. This has apparently 626been fixed in later versions of BIND, starting around 4.9.3. In other 627words, if you use 4.9.0 through 4.9.2, you need -l44bsd; for earlier or 628later versions, you do not. 629 630!PLEASE! be sure to link with the same version of the resolver as 631the header files you used -- some people have used the 4.9 headers 632and linked with BIND 4.8 or vice versa, and it doesn't work. 633Unfortunately, it doesn't fail in an obvious way -- things just 634subtly don't work. 635 636WILDCARD MX RECORDS ARE A BAD IDEA! The only situation in which they 637work reliably is if you have two versions of DNS, one in the real world 638which has a wildcard pointing to your firewall, and a completely 639different version of the database internally that does not include 640wildcard MX records that match your domain. ANYTHING ELSE WILL GIVE 641YOU HEADACHES! 642 643When attempting to canonify a hostname, some broken name servers will 644return SERVFAIL (a temporary failure) on T_AAAA (IPv6) lookups. If you 645want to excuse this behavior, compile sendmail with 646-D_FFR_WORKAROUND_BROKEN_NAMESERVERS and add WorkAroundBrokenAAAA to your 647ResolverOptions setting. However, instead, we recommend catching the 648problem and reporting it to the name server administrator so we can rid the 649world of broken name servers. 650 651 652+----------------------------------------+ 653| STARTTLS COMPILATION AND CONFIGURATION | 654+----------------------------------------+ 655 656Please read the docs accompanying the OpenSSL library and sfio. 657You have to compile and install both libraries before you can compile 658sendmail. See devtools/README how to set the correct compile time 659parameters; you should at least set the following variables: 660 661define(`confSTDIO_TYPE', `portable') 662APPENDDEF(`conf_sendmail_ENVDEF', `-DSFIO') 663APPENDDEF(`conf_sendmail_LIBS', `-lsfio') 664APPENDDEF(`conf_sendmail_ENVDEF', `-DSTARTTLS') 665APPENDDEF(`conf_sendmail_LIBS', `-lssl -lcrypto') 666 667If you have installed the OpenSSL libraries and include files in 668a location that your C compiler doesn't use by default you should 669set confINCDIRS and confLIBDIRS as explained in the first section: 670BUILDING SENDMAIL. 671 672Configuration information can be found in doc/op/op.me (required 673certificates) and cf/README (how to tell sendmail about certificates). 674 675To perform an initial test, connect to your sendmail daemon 676(telnet localhost 25) and issue a EHLO localhost and see whether 677250-STARTTLS 678is in the response. If it isn't, run the daemon with 679-O LogLevel=14 680and try again. Then take a look at the logfile and see whether 681there are any problems listed about permissions (unsafe files) 682or the validity of X.509 certificates. 683 684Note: sfio must be used in all libraries with which sendmail exchanges 685file pointers. An example is PH map support. This does not apply to the 686usual libraries, e.g., OpenSSL, Berkeley DB, Cyrus SASL. 687 688Further information can be found via: 689http://www.sendmail.org/tips/ 690 691 692+------------------------------------+ 693| SASL COMPILATION AND CONFIGURATION | 694+------------------------------------+ 695 696Please read the docs accompanying the library (INSTALL and README). 697If you use Berkeley DB for Cyrus SASL then you must compile sendmail 698with the same version of Berkeley DB. See devtools/README how to 699set the correct compile time parameters; you should at least set 700the following variables: 701 702APPENDDEF(`conf_sendmail_ENVDEF', `-DSASL') 703APPENDDEF(`conf_sendmail_LIBS', `-lsasl') 704 705If you have installed the Cyrus SASL library and include files in 706a location that your C compiler doesn't use by default you should 707set confINCDIRS and confLIBDIRS as explained in the first section: 708BUILDING SENDMAIL. 709 710You have to select and install authentication mechanisms and tell 711sendmail where to find the sasl library and the include files (see 712devtools/README for the parameters to set). Setup the required 713users and passwords as explained in the SASL documentation. See 714also cf/README for authentication related options (esp. DefaultAuthInfo 715if you want authentication between MTAs). 716 717To perform an initial test, connect to your sendmail daemon 718(telnet localhost 25) and issue a EHLO localhost and see whether 719250-AUTH .... 720is in the response. If it isn't, run the daemon with 721-O LogLevel=14 722and try again. Then take a look at the logfile and see whether 723there are any security related problems listed (unsafe files). 724 725Further information can be found via: 726http://www.sendmail.org/tips/ 727 728 729+-------------------------------------+ 730| OPERATING SYSTEM AND COMPILE QUIRKS | 731+-------------------------------------+ 732 733GCC problems 734 ***************************************************************** 735 ** IMPORTANT: DO NOT USE OPTIMIZATION (``-O'') IF YOU ARE ** 736 ** RUNNING GCC 2.4.x or 2.5.x. THERE IS A BUG IN THE GCC ** 737 ** OPTIMIZER THAT CAUSES SENDMAIL COMPILES TO FAIL MISERABLY. ** 738 ***************************************************************** 739 740 Jim Wilson of Cygnus believes he has found the problem -- it will 741 probably be fixed in GCC 2.5.6 -- but until this is verified, be 742 very suspicious of gcc -O. This problem is reported to have been 743 fixed in gcc 2.6. 744 745 A bug in gcc 2.5.5 caused problems compiling sendmail 8.6.5 with 746 optimization on a Sparc. If you are using gcc 2.5.5, youi should 747 upgrade to the latest version of gcc. 748 749 Apparently GCC 2.7.0 on the Pentium processor has optimization 750 problems. I recommend against using -O on that architecture. This 751 has been seen on FreeBSD 2.0.5 RELEASE. 752 753 Solaris 2.X users should use version 2.7.2.3 over 2.7.2. 754 755 We have been told there are problems with gcc 2.8.0. If you are 756 using this version, you should upgrade to 2.8.1 or later. 757 758GDBM GDBM does not work with sendmail 8.8 because the additional 759 security checks and file locking cause problems. Unfortunately, 760 gdbm does not provide a compile flag in its version of ndbm.h so 761 the code can adapt. Until the GDBM authors can fix these problems, 762 GDBM will not be supported. Please use Berkeley DB instead. 763 764Configuration file location 765 Up to 8.6, sendmail tried to find the sendmail.cf file in the same 766 place as the vendors had put it, even when this was obviously 767 stupid. As of 8.7, sendmail ALWAYS looks for /etc/sendmail.cf. 768 Beginning with 8.10, sendmail uses /etc/mail/sendmail.cf. 769 You can get sendmail to use the stupid vendor .cf location by 770 adding -DUSE_VENDOR_CF_PATH during compilation, but this may break 771 support programs and scripts that need to find sendmail.cf. You 772 are STRONGLY urged to use symbolic links if you want to use the 773 vendor location rather than changing the location in the sendmail 774 binary. 775 776 NETINFO systems use NETINFO to determine the location of 777 sendmail.cf. The full path to sendmail.cf is stored as the value of 778 the "sendmail.cf" property in the "/locations/sendmail" 779 subdirectory of NETINFO. Set the value of this property to 780 "/etc/mail/sendmail.cf" (without the quotes) to use this new 781 default location for Sendmail 8.10.0 and higher. 782 783ControlSocket permissions 784 Paraphrased from BIND 8.2.1's README: 785 786 Solaris and other pre-4.4BSD kernels do not respect ownership or 787 protections on UNIX-domain sockets. The short term fix for this is to 788 override the default path and put such control sockets into root- 789 owned directories which do not permit non-root to r/w/x through them. 790 The long term fix is for all kernels to upgrade to 4.4BSD semantics. 791 792SunOS 4.x (Solaris 1.x) 793 You may have to use -lresolv on SunOS. However, beware that 794 this links in a new version of gethostbyname that does not 795 understand NIS, so you must have all of your hosts in DNS. 796 797 Some people have reported problems with the SunOS version of 798 -lresolv and/or in.named, and suggest that you get a newer 799 version. The symptoms are delays when you connect to the 800 SMTP server on a SunOS machine or having your domain added to 801 addresses inappropriately. There is a version of BIND 802 version 4.9 on gatekeeper.DEC.COM in pub/BSD/bind/4.9. 803 804 There is substantial disagreement about whether you can make 805 this work with resolv+, which allows you to specify a search-path 806 of services. Some people report that it works fine, others 807 claim it doesn't work at all (including causing sendmail to 808 drop core when it tries to do multiple resolv+ lookups for a 809 single job). I haven't tried resolv+, as we use DNS exclusively. 810 811 Should you want to try resolv+, it is on ftp.uu.net in 812 /networking/ip/dns. 813 814 Apparently getservbyname() can fail under moderate to high 815 load under some circumstances. This will exhibit itself as 816 the message ``554 makeconnection: service "smtp" unknown''. 817 The problem has been traced to one or more blank lines in 818 /etc/services on the NIS server machine. Delete these 819 and it should work. This info is thanks to Brian Bartholomew 820 <bb@math.ufl.edu> of I-Kinetics, Inc. 821 822 NOTE: The SunOS 4.X linker uses library paths specified during 823 compilation using -L for run-time shared library searches. 824 Therefore, it is vital that relative and unsafe directory paths not 825 be used when compiling sendmail. 826 827SunOS 4.0.2 (Sun 386i) 828 Date: Fri, 25 Aug 1995 11:13:58 +0200 (MET DST) 829 From: teus@oce.nl 830 831 Sendmail 8.7.Beta.12 compiles and runs nearly out of the box with the 832 following changes: 833 * Don't use /usr/5bin in your PATH, but make /usr/5bin/uname 834 available as "uname" command. 835 * Use the defines "-DBSD4_3 -DNAMED_BIND=0" in 836 devtools/OS/SunOS.4.0, which is selected via the "uname" command. 837 I recommend to make available the db-library on the system first 838 (and change the Makefile to use this library). 839 Note that the sendmail.cf and aliases files are found in /etc. 840 841SunOS 4.1.3, 4.1.3_U1 842 Sendmail causes crashes on SunOS 4.1.3 and 4.1.3_U1. According 843 to Sun bug number 1077939: 844 845 If an application does a getsockopt() on a SOCK_STREAM (TCP) socket 846 after the other side of the connection has sent a TCP RESET for 847 the stream, the kernel gets a Bus Trap in the tcp_ctloutput() or 848 ip_ctloutput() routine. 849 850 For 4.1.3, this is fixed in patch 100584-08, available on the 851 Sunsolve 2.7.1 or later CDs. For 4.1.3_U1, this was fixed in patch 852 101790-01 (SunOS 4.1.3_U1: TCP socket and reset problems), later 853 obsoleted by patch 102010-05. 854 855 Sun patch 100584-08 is not currently publicly available on their 856 ftp site but a user has reported it can be found at other sites 857 using a web search engine. 858 859Solaris 2.x (SunOS 5.x) 860 To compile for Solaris, the Makefile built by Build must 861 include a SOLARIS definition which reflects the Solaris version 862 (i.e. -DSOLARIS=20400 for 2.4 or -DSOLARIS=20501 for 2.5.1). 863 If you are using gcc, make sure -I/usr/include is not used (or 864 it might complain about TopFrame). If you are using Sun's cc, 865 make sure /opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc is used instead of /usr/ucb/cc 866 (or it might complain about tm_zone). 867 868 The Solaris "syslog" function is apparently limited to something 869 about 90 characters because of a kernel limitation. If you have 870 source code, you can probably up this number. You can get patches 871 that fix this problem: the patch ids are: 872 873 Solaris 2.1 100834 874 Solaris 2.2 100999 875 Solaris 2.3 101318 876 877 Be sure you have the appropriate patch installed or you won't 878 see system logging. 879 880Solaris 2.4 (SunOS 5.4) 881 If you include /usr/lib at the end of your LD_LIBRARY_PATH you run 882 the risk of getting the wrong libraries under some circumstances. 883 This is because of a new feature in Solaris 2.4, described by 884 Rod.Evans@Eng.Sun.COM: 885 886 >> Prior to SunOS 5.4, any LD_LIBRARY_PATH setting was ignored by the 887 >> runtime linker if the application was setxid (secure), thus your 888 >> applications search path would be: 889 >> 890 >> /usr/local/lib LD_LIBRARY_PATH component - IGNORED 891 >> /usr/lib LD_LIBRARY_PATH component - IGNORED 892 >> /usr/local/lib RPATH - honored 893 >> /usr/lib RPATH - honored 894 >> 895 >> the effect is that path 3 would be the first used, and this would 896 >> satisfy your resolv.so lookup. 897 >> 898 >> In SunOS 5.4 we made the LD_LIBRARY_PATH a little more flexible. 899 >> People who developed setxid applications wanted to be able to alter 900 >> the library search path to some degree to allow for their own 901 >> testing and debugging mechanisms.

This new resolv.h is also 923 included in the Solaris 2.6 distribution. This causes compile 924 warnings such as: 925 926 In file included from daemon.c:51: 927 /usr/include/resolv.h:208: warning: `__P' redefined 928 cdefs.h:58: warning: this is the location of the previous definition 929 930 These warnings can be safely ignored or you can create a resolv.h 931 file in the obj.SunOS.5.5.1.* or obj.SunOS.5.6.* directory that reads: 932 933 #undef __P 934 #include "/usr/include/resolv.h" 935 936 Sun is aware of the problem (Sun bug ID 4081053) and it will be fixed 937 in Solaris 2.7. 938 939Solaris 7 (SunOS 5.7) 940 Solaris 7 includes LDAP libraries but the implementation was 941 lacking a few things. The following settings can be placed in 942 devtools/Site/site.SunOS.5.7.m4 if you plan on using those 943 libraries. 944 945 APPENDDEF(`confMAPDEF', `-DLDAPMAP') 946 APPENDDEF(`confENVDEF', `-DLDAP_VERSION_MAX=3') 947 APPENDDEF(`confLIBS', `-lldap') 948 949 Also, Sun's patch 107555 is needed to prevent a crash in the call 950 to ldap_set_option for LDAP_OPT_REFERRALS in ldapmap_setopts if 951 LDAP support is compiled in sendmail. 952 953Solaris 954 If you are using dns for hostname resolution on Solaris, make sure 955 that the 'dns' entry is last on the hosts line in 956 '/etc/nsswitch.conf'. For example, use: 957 958 hosts: nisplus files dns 959 960 Do not use: 961 962 host: nisplus dns [NOTFOUND=return] files 963 964 Note that 'nisplus' above is an illustration. The same comment 965 applies no matter what naming services you are using. If you have 966 anything other than dns last, even after "[NOTFOUND=return]", 967 sendmail may not be able to determine whether an error was 968 temporary or permanent. The error returned by the solaris 969 gethostbyname() is the error for the last lookup used, and other 970 naming services do not have the same concept of temporary failure. 971 972Ultrix 973 By default, the IDENT protocol is turned off on Ultrix. If you 974 are running Ultrix 4.4 or later, or if you have included patch 975 CXO-8919 for Ultrix 4.2 or 4.3 to fix the TCP problem, you can turn 976 IDENT on in the configuration file by setting the "ident" timeout. 977 978 The Ultrix 4.5 Y2K patch (ULTV45-022-1) has changed the resolver 979 included in libc.a. Unfortunately, the __RES symbol hasn't changed 980 and therefore, sendmail can no longer automatically detect the 981 newer version. If you get a compiler error: 982 983 /lib/libc.a(gethostent.o): local_hostname_length: multiply defined 984 985 Then rebuild with this in devtools/Site/site.ULTRIX.m4: 986 987 APPENDDEF(`conf_sendmail_ENVDEF', `-DNEEDLOCAL_HOSTNAME_LENGTH=0') 988 989Digital UNIX (formerly DEC OSF/1) 990 If you are compiling on OSF/1 (DEC Alpha), you must use 991 -L/usr/shlib (otherwise it core dumps on startup). You may also 992 need -mld to get the nlist() function, although some versions 993 apparently don't need this. 994 995 Also, the enclosed makefile removed /usr/sbin/smtpd; if you need 996 it, just create the link to the sendmail binary. 997 998 On DEC OSF/1 3.2 or earlier, the MatchGECOS option doesn't work 999 properly due to a bug in the getpw* routines. If you want to use 1000 this, use -DDEC_OSF_BROKEN_GETPWENT=1. The problem is fixed in 3.2C. 1001 1002 Digital's mail delivery agent, /bin/mail (aka /bin/binmail), will 1003 only preserve the envelope sender in the "From " header if 1004 DefaultUserID is set to daemon. Setting this to mailnull will 1005 cause all mail to have the header "From mailnull ...". To use 1006 a different DefaultUserID, you will need to use a different mail 1007 delivery agent (such as mail.local found in the sendmail 1008 distribution). 1009 1010 On Digital UNIX 4.0 and later, Berkeley DB 1.85 is included with the 1011 operating system and already has the ndbm.o module removed. However, 1012 Digital has modified the original Berkeley DB db.h include file. 1013 This results in the following warning while compiling map.c and udb.c: 1014 1015 cc: Warning: /usr/include/db.h, line 74: The redefinition of the macro 1016 "__signed" conflicts with a current definition because the replacement 1017 lists differ. The redefinition is now in effect. 1018 #define __signed signed 1019 ------------------------^ 1020 1021 This warning can be ignored. 1022 1023 Digital UNIX's linker checks /usr/ccs/lib/ before /usr/lib/. 1024 If you have installed a new version of BIND in /usr/include 1025 and /usr/lib, you will experience difficulties as Digital ships 1026 libresolv.a in /usr/ccs/lib/ as well. Be sure to replace both 1027 copies of libresolv.a. 1028 1029IRIX 1030 The header files on SGI IRIX are completely prototyped, and as 1031 a result you can sometimes get some warning messages during 1032 compilation. These can be ignored. There are two errors in 1033 deliver only if you are using gcc, both of the form ``warning: 1034 passing arg N of `execve' from incompatible pointer type''. 1035 Also, if you compile with -DNIS, you will get a complaint 1036 about a declaration of struct dom_binding in a prototype 1037 when compiling map.c; this is not important because the 1038 function being prototyped is not used in that file. 1039 1040 In order to compile sendmail you will have had to install 1041 the developers' option in order to get the necessary include 1042 files. 1043 1044 If you compile with -lmalloc (the fast memory allocator), you may 1045 get warning messages such as the following: 1046 1047 ld32: WARNING 85: definition of _calloc in /usr/lib32/libmalloc.so 1048 preempts that definition in /usr/lib32/mips3/libc.so. 1049 ld32: WARNING 85: definition of _malloc in /usr/lib32/libmalloc.so 1050 preempts that definition in /usr/lib32/mips3/libc.so. 1051 ld32: WARNING 85: definition of _realloc in /usr/lib32/libmalloc.so 1052 preempts that definition in /usr/lib32/mips3/libc.so. 1053 ld32: WARNING 85: definition of _free in /usr/lib32/libmalloc.so 1054 preempts that definition in /usr/lib32/mips3/libc.so. 1055 ld32: WARNING 85: definition of _cfree in /usr/lib32/libmalloc.so 1056 preempts that definition in /usr/lib32/mips3/libc.so. 1057 1058 These are unavoidable and innocuous -- just ignore them. 1059 1060 According to Dave Sill <de5@ornl.gov>, there is a version of the 1061 Berkeley DB library patched to run on Irix 6.2 available from 1062 http://reality.sgi.com/ariel/freeware/#db . 1063 1064IRIX 6.x 1065 If you are using XFS filesystem, avoid using the -32 ABI switch to 1066 the cc compiler if possible. 1067 1068 Broken inet_aton and inet_ntoa on IRIX using gcc: There's 1069 a problem with gcc on IRIX, i.e., gcc can't pass structs 1070 less than 16 bits long unless they are 8 bits; IRIX 6.2 has 1071 some other sized structs. See 1072 http://www.bitmechanic.com/mail-archives/mysql/current/0418.html 1073 1074IRIX 6.4 1075 The IRIX 6.5.4 version of /bin/m4 does not work properly with 1076 sendmail. Either install fw_m4.sw.m4 off the Freeware_May99 CD and 1077 use /usr/freeware/bin/m4 or install and use GNU m4. 1078 1079NeXT or NEXTSTEP 1080 NEXTSTEP 3.3 and earlier ship with the old DBM library. Also, 1081 Berkeley DB does not currently run on NEXTSTEP. 1082 1083 If you are compiling on NEXTSTEP, you will have to create an 1084 empty file "unistd.h" and create a file "dirent.h" containing: 1085 1086 #include <sys/dir.h> 1087 #define dirent direct 1088 1089 (devtools/OS/NeXT should try to do both of these for you.) 1090 1091 Apparently, there is a bug in getservbyname on Nextstep 3.0 1092 that causes it to fail under some circumstances with the 1093 message "SYSERR: service "smtp" unknown" logged. You should 1094 be able to work around this by including the line: 1095 1096 OOPort=25 1097 1098 in your .cf file. 1099 1100BSDI (BSD/386) 1.0, NetBSD 0.9, FreeBSD 1.0 1101 The "m4" from BSDI won't handle the config files properly. 1102 I haven't had a chance to test this myself. 1103 1104 The M4 shipped in FreeBSD and NetBSD 0.9 don't handle the config 1105 files properly. One must use either GNU m4 1.1 or the PD-M4 1106 recently posted in comp.os.386bsd.bugs (and maybe others). 1107 NetBSD-current includes the PD-M4 (as stated in the NetBSD file 1108 CHANGES). 1109 1110 FreeBSD 1.0 RELEASE has uname(2) now. Use -DUSEUNAME in order to 1111 use it (look into devtools/OS/FreeBSD). NetBSD-current may have 1112 it too but it has not been verified. 1113 1114 The latest version of Berkeley DB uses a different naming 1115 scheme than the version that is supplied with your release. This 1116 means you will be able to use the current version of Berkeley DB 1117 with sendmail as long you use the new db.h when compiling 1118 sendmail and link it against the new libdb.a or libdb.so. You 1119 should probably keep the original db.h in /usr/include and the 1120 new db.h in /usr/local/include. 1121 11224.3BSD 1123 If you are running a "virgin" version of 4.3BSD, you'll have 1124 a very old resolver and be missing some header files. The 1125 header files are simple -- create empty versions and everything 1126 will work fine. For the resolver you should really port a new 1127 version (4.8.3 or later) of the resolver; 4.9 is available on 1128 gatekeeper.DEC.COM in pub/BSD/bind/4.9. If you are really 1129 determined to continue to use your old, buggy version (or as 1130 a shortcut to get sendmail working -- I'm sure you have the 1131 best intentions to port a modern version of BIND), you can 1132 copy ../contrib/oldbind.compat.c into sendmail and add the 1133 following to devtools/Site/site.config.m4: 1134 1135 APPENDDEF(`confOBJADD', `oldbind.compat.o') 1136 1137A/UX 1138 Date: Tue, 12 Oct 1993 18:28:28 -0400 (EDT) 1139 From: "Eric C. Hagberg" <hagberg@med.cornell.edu> 1140 Subject: Fix for A/UX ndbm 1141 1142 I guess this isn't really a sendmail bug, however, it is something 1143 that A/UX users should be aware of when compiling sendmail 8.6. 1144 1145 Apparently, the calls that sendmail is using to the ndbm routines 1146 in A/UX 3.0.x contain calls to "broken" routines, in that the 1147 aliases database will break when it gets "just a little big" 1148 (sorry I don't have exact numbers here, but it broke somewhere 1149 around 20-25 aliases for me.), making all aliases non-functional 1150 after exceeding this point. 1151 1152 What I did was to get the gnu-dbm-1.6 package, compile it, and 1153 then re-compile sendmail with "-lgdbm", "-DNDBM", and using the 1154 ndbm.h header file that comes with the gnu-package. This makes 1155 things behave properly. 1156 [NOTE: see comment above about GDBM] 1157 1158 I suppose porting the New Berkeley DB package is another route, 1159 however, I made a quick attempt at it, and found it difficult 1160 (not easy at least); the gnu-dbm package "configured" and 1161 compiled easily. 1162 1163 [NOTE: Berkeley DB version 2.X runs on A/UX and can be used for 1164 database maps.] 1165 1166SCO Unix 1167 From: Thomas Essebier <tom@stallion.oz.au> 1168 Organisation: Stallion Technologies Pty Ltd. 1169 1170 It will probably help those who are trying to configure sendmail 8.6.9 1171 to know that if they are on SCO, they had better set 1172 OI-dnsrch 1173 or they will core dump as soon as they try to use the resolver. 1174 ie. although SCO has _res.dnsrch defined, and is kinda BIND 4.8.3, it 1175 does not inititialise it, nor does it understand 'search' in 1176 /etc/named.boot. 1177 - sigh - 1178 1179 According to SCO, the m4 which ships with UnixWare 2.1.2 is broken. 1180 We recommend installing GNU m4 before attempting to build sendmail. 1181 1182DG/UX 1183 Doug Anderson <dlander@afterlife.ncsc.mil> has successfully run 1184 V8 on the DG/UX 5.4.2 and 5.4R3.x platforms under heavy usage. 1185 Originally, the DG /bin/mail program wasn't compatible with 1186 the V8 sendmail, since the DG /bin/mail requires the environment 1187 variable "_FORCE_MAIL_LOCAL_=yes" be set. Version 8.7 now includes 1188 this in the environment before invoking the local mailer. Some 1189 have used procmail to avoid this problem in the past. It works 1190 but some have experienced file locking problems with their DG/UX 1191 ports of procmail. 1192 1193Apollo DomainOS 1194 If you are compiling on Apollo, you will have to create an empty 1195 file "unistd.h" (for DomainOS 10.3 and earlier) and create a file 1196 "dirent.h" containing: 1197 1198 #include <sys/dir.h> 1199 #define dirent direct 1200 1201 (devtools/OS/DomainOS will attempt to do both of these for you.) 1202 1203HP-UX 8.00 1204 Date: Mon, 24 Jan 1994 13:25:45 +0200 1205 From: Kimmo Suominen <Kimmo.Suominen@lut.fi> 1206 Subject: 8.6.5 w/ HP-UX 8.00 on s300 1207 1208 Just compiled and fought with sendmail 8.6.5 on a HP9000/360 (ie. a 1209 series 300 machine) running HP-UX 8.00. 1210 1211 I was getting segmentation fault when delivering to a local user. 1212 With debugging I saw it was faulting when doing _free@libc... *sigh* 1213 It seems the new implementation of malloc on s300 is buggy as of 8.0, 1214 so I tried out the one in -lmalloc (malloc(3X)). With that it seems 1215 to work just dandy. 1216 1217 When linking, you will get the following error: 1218 1219 ld: multiply defined symbol _freespace in file /usr/lib/libmalloc.a 1220 1221 but you can just ignore it. You might want to add this info to the 1222 README file for the future... 1223 1224Linux 1225 Something broke between versions 0.99.13 and 0.99.14 of Linux: 1226 the flock() system call gives errors. If you are running .14, 1227 you must not use flock. You can do this with -DHASFLOCK=0. 1228 1229 Around the inclusion of bind-4.9.3 & Linux libc-4.6.20, the 1230 initialization of the _res structure changed. If /etc/hosts.conf 1231 was configured as "hosts, bind" the resolver code could return 1232 "Name server failure" errors. This is supposedly fixed in 1233 later versions of libc (>= 4.6.29?), and later versions of 1234 sendmail (> 8.6.10) try to work around the problem. 1235 1236 Some older versions (< 4.6.20?) of the libc/include files conflict 1237 with sendmail's version of cdefs.h. Deleting sendmail's version 1238 on those systems should be non-harmful, and new versions don't care. 1239 1240 Sendmail assumes that libc has snprintf, which has been true since 1241 libc 4.7.0. If you are running an older version, you will need to 1242 use -DHASSNPRINTF=0 in the Makefile. If may be able to use -lbsd 1243 (which includes snprintf) instead of turning this off on versions 1244 of libc between 4.4.4 and 4.7.0 (snprintf improves security, so 1245 you want to use this if at all possible). 1246 1247 NOTE ON LINUX & BIND: By default, the Makefile generated for Linux 1248 includes header files in /usr/local/include and libraries in 1249 /usr/local/lib. If you've installed BIND on your system, the header 1250 files typically end up in the search path and you need to add 1251 "-lresolv" to the LIBS line in your Makefile. Really old versions 1252 may need to include "-l44bsd" as well (particularly if the link phase 1253 complains about missing strcasecmp, strncasecmp or strpbrk). 1254 Complaints about an undefined reference to `__dn_skipname' in 1255 domain.o are a sure sign that you need to add -lresolv to LIBS. 1256 Newer versions of Linux are basically threaded BIND, so you may or 1257 may not see complaints if you accidentally mix BIND 1258 headers/libraries with virginal libc. If you have BIND headers in 1259 /usr/local/include (resolv.h, etc) you *should* be adding -lresolv 1260 to LIBS. Data structures may change and you'd be asking for a 1261 core dump. 1262 1263 A number of problems have been reported regarding the Linux 2.2.0 1264 kernel. So far, these problems have been tracked down to syslog() 1265 and DNS resolution. We believe the problem is with the poll() 1266 implementation in the Linux 2.2.0 kernel and poll()-aware versions 1267 of glib (at least up to 2.0.111). 1268 1269 Some pre-glibc distributions of Linux include a syslog.h that does 1270 not work properly with SFIO. You can fix this by adding 1271 "#include <syslog.h>" to the SFIO version of stdio.h as the very 1272 first line. 1273 1274glibc 1275 glibc 2.2.1 (and possibly other versions) changed the value of 1276 __RES in resolv.h but failed to actually provide the IPv6 API 1277 changes that the change implied. Therefore, compiling with 1278 -DNETINET6 fails. 1279 1280 Workarounds: 1281 1) Compile without -DNETINET6 1282 2) Build against a real BIND 8.2.2 include/lib tree 1283 3) Wait for glibc to fix it 1284 1285AIX 4.X 1286 The AIX 4.X linker uses library paths specified during compilation 1287 using -L for run-time shared library searches. Therefore, it is 1288 vital that relative and unsafe directory paths not be using when 1289 compiling sendmail. Because of this danger, by default, compiles 1290 on AIX use the -blibpath option to limit shared libraries to 1291 /usr/lib and /lib. If you need to allow more directories, such as 1292 /usr/local/lib, modify your devtools/Site/site.AIX.4.2.m4, 1293 site.AIX.4.3.m4, and/or site.AIX.4.x.m4 file(s) and set confLDOPTS 1294 approriately. For example: 1295 1296 define(`confLDOPTS', `-blibpath:/usr/lib:/lib:/usr/local/lib') 1297 1298 Be sure to only add (safe) system directories. 1299 1300 The AIX version of GNU ld also exhibits this problem. If you are 1301 using that version, instead of -blibpath, use its -rpath option. 1302 For example: 1303 1304 gcc -Wl,-rpath /usr/lib -Wl,-rpath /lib -Wl,-rpath /usr/local/lib 1305 1306AIX 4.3.3 1307 From: Valdis.Kletnieks@vt.edu 1308 Date: Sun, 02 Jul 2000 03:58:02 -0400 1309 1310 Under AIX 4.3.3, after applying bos.adt.include 4.3.3.12 to close the 1311 BIND 8.2.2 security holes, you can no longer build with -DNETINET6 1312 because they changed the value of __RES in resolv.h but failed to 1313 actually provide the API changes that the change implied. 1314 1315 Workarounds: 1316 1) Compile without -DNETINET6 1317 2) Build against a real BIND 8.2.2 include/lib tree 1318 3) Wait for IBM to fix it 1319 1320AIX 4.X 1321 The AIX m4 implements a different mechanism for ifdef which is 1322 inconsistent with other versions of m4. Therefore, it will not 1323 work properly with the sendmail Build architecture or m4 1324 configuration method. To work around this problem, please use 1325 GNU m4 from ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/. 1326 1327AIX 3.x 1328 This version of sendmail does not support MB, MG, and MR resource 1329 records, which are supported by AIX sendmail. 1330 1331 Several people have reported that the IBM-supplied named returns 1332 fairly random results -- the named should be replaced. It is not 1333 necessary to replace the resolver, which will simplify installation. 1334 A new BIND resolver can be found at http://www.isc.org/isc/. 1335 1336AIX 3.1.x 1337 The supplied load average code only works correctly for AIX 3.2.x. 1338 For 3.1, use -DLA_TYPE=LA_SUBR and get the latest ``monitor'' 1339 package by Jussi Maki <jmaki@hut.fi> from ftp.funet.fi in the 1340 directory pub/unix/AIX/rs6000/monitor-1.12.tar.Z; use the loadavgd 1341 daemon, and the getloadavg subroutine supplied with that package. 1342 If you don't care about load average throttling, just turn off 1343 load average checking using -DLA_TYPE=LA_ZERO. 1344 1345AIX 2.2.1 1346 Date: Mon Dec 4 14:14:56 CST 1995 1347 From: Mark Whetzel <markw@antimatr.houston.tx.us> 1348 Subject: Porting sendmail 8.7.2 to AIX V2 on the RT. 1349 1350 This version of sendmail does not support MB, MG, and MR resource 1351 records, which are supported by AIX sendmail. 1352 1353 AIX V2 on the RT does not have 'paths.h'. Create a null 1354 file in the 'obj' directory to remove this compile error. 1355 1356 A patch file is needed to get the BSD 'db' library to compile 1357 for AIX/RT. I have sent the necessary updates to the author, 1358 but they may not be immediately available. 1359 [NOTE: Berkeley DB version 2.X runs on AIX/RT.] 1360 1361 The original AIX/RT resolver libraries are very old, and you 1362 should get the latest BIND to replace it. The 4.8.3 version 1363 has been tested, but 4.9.x is out and should work. 1364 1365 To make the load average code work correctly requires an 1366 external routine, as the kernel does not maintain system 1367 load averages, similar to AIX V3.1.x. A reverse port of the 1368 older 1.05 'monitor' load average daemon code written by 1369 Jussi Maki that will work on AIX V2 for the RT is available 1370 by E-mail to Mark Whetzel <markw@antimatr.houston.tx.us>. 1371 That code depends on an external daemon to collect system 1372 load information, and the external routine 'getloadavg', 1373 that will return that information. The 'LA_SUBR' define 1374 will handle this for AIX V2 on the RT. 1375 1376 Note: You will have to change devtools/OS/AIX.2 to correctly 1377 point to the locatons of the updated BIND source tree and 1378 the location of the 'newdb' tree and library location. 1379 You will also have to change devtools/OS/AIX.2 to know 1380 about the location of the 'getloadavg' routine if you use 1381 the LA_SUBR define. 1382 1383RISC/os 1384 RISC/os from MIPS is a merged AT&T/Berkeley system. When you 1385 compile on that platform you will get duplicate definitions 1386 on many files. You can ignore these. 1387 1388System V Release 4 Based Systems 1389 There is a single devtools OS that is intended for all SVR4-based 1390 systems (built from devtools/OS/SVR4). It defines __svr4__, 1391 which is predefined by some compilers. If your compiler already 1392 defines this compile variable, you can delete the definition from 1393 the generated Makefile or create a devtools/Site/site.config.m4 1394 file. 1395 1396 It's been tested on Dell Issue 2.2. 1397 1398DELL SVR4 1399 Date: Mon, 06 Dec 1993 10:42:29 EST 1400 From: "Kimmo Suominen" <kim@grendel.lut.fi> 1401 Message-ID: <2d0352f9.lento29@lento29.UUCP> 1402 To: eric@cs.berkeley.edu 1403 Cc: sendmail@cs.berkeley.edu 1404 Subject: Notes for DELL SVR4 1405 1406 Eric, 1407 1408 Here are some notes for compiling Sendmail 8.6.4 on DELL SVR4. I ran 1409 across these things when helping out some people who contacted me by 1410 e-mail. 1411 1412 1) Use gcc 2.4.5 (or later?). Dell distributes gcc 2.1 with their 1413 Issue 2.2 Unix. It is too old, and gives you problems with 1414 clock.c, because sigset_t won't get defined in <sys/signal.h>. 1415 This is due to a problematic protection rule in there, and is 1416 fixed with gcc 2.4.5. 1417 1418 2) If you don't use the new Berkeley DB (-DNEWDB), then you need 1419 to add "-lc -lucb" to the libraries to link with. This is because 1420 the -ldbm distributed by Dell needs the bcopy, bcmp and bzero 1421 functions. It is important that you specify both libraries in 1422 the given order to be sure you only get the BSTRING functions 1423 from the UCB library (and not the signal routines etc.). 1424 1425 3) Don't leave out "-lelf" even if compiling with "-lc -lucb". 1426 The UCB library also has another copy of the nlist routines, 1427 but we do want the ones from "-lelf". 1428 1429 If anyone needs a compiled gcc 2.4.5 and/or a ported DB library, they 1430 can use anonymous ftp to fetch them from lut.fi in the /kim directory. 1431 They are copies of what I use on grendel.lut.fi, and offering them 1432 does not imply that I would also support them. I have sent the DB 1433 port for SVR4 back to Keith Bostic for inclusion in the official 1434 distribution, but I haven't heard anything from him as of today. 1435 1436 - gcc-2.4.5-svr4.tar.gz (gcc 2.4.5 and the corresponding libg++) 1437 - db-1.72.tar.gz (with source, objects and a installed copy) 1438 1439 Cheers 1440 + Kim 1441 -- 1442 * Kimmo.Suominen@lut.fi * SysVr4 enthusiast at GRENDEL.LUT.FI * 1443 * KIM@FINFILES.BITNET * Postmaster and Hostmaster at LUT.FI * 1444 * + 358 200 865 718 * Unix area moderator at NIC.FUNET.FI * 1445 1446ConvexOS 10.1 and below 1447 In order to use the name server, you must create the file 1448 /etc/use_nameserver. If this file does not exist, the call 1449 to res_init() will fail and you will have absolutely no 1450 access to DNS, including MX records. 1451 1452Amdahl UTS 2.1.5 1453 In order to get UTS to work, you will have to port BIND 4.9. 1454 The vendor's BIND is reported to be ``totally inadequate.'' 1455 See sendmail/contrib/AmdahlUTS.patch for the patches necessary 1456 to get BIND 4.9 compiled for UTS. 1457 1458UnixWare 1459 According to Alexander Kolbasov <sasha@unitech.gamma.ru>, 1460 the m4 on UnixWare 2.0 (still in Beta) will core dump on the 1461 config files. GNU m4 and the m4 from UnixWare 1.x both work. 1462 1463 According to Larry Rosenman <ler@lerami.lerctr.org>: 1464 1465 UnixWare 2.1.[23]'s m4 chokes (not obviously) when 1466 processing the 8.9.0 cf files. 1467 1468 I had a LOCAL_RULE_0 that wound up AFTER the 1469 SBasic_check_rcpt rules using the SCO supplied M4. 1470 GNU M4 works fine. 1471 1472UNICOS 8.0.3.4 1473 Some people have reported that the -O flag on UNICOS can cause 1474 problems.

Use the version in conf.c instead. 1495 1496BIND 4.9.2 and Ultrix 1497 If you are running on Ultrix, be sure you read conf/Info.Ultrix 1498 in the BIND distribution very carefully -- there is information 1499 in there that you need to know in order to avoid errors of the 1500 form: 1501 1502 /lib/libc.a(gethostent.o): sethostent: multiply defined 1503 /lib/libc.a(gethostent.o): endhostent: multiply defined 1504 /lib/libc.a(gethostent.o): gethostbyname: multiply defined 1505 /lib/libc.a(gethostent.o): gethostbyaddr: multiply defined 1506 1507 during the link stage. 1508 1509BIND 8.X 1510 BIND 8.X returns HOST_NOT_FOUND instead of TRY_AGAIN on temporary 1511 DNS failures when trying to find the hostname associated with an IP 1512 address (gethostbyaddr()). This can cause problems as 1513 $&{client_name} based lookups in class R ($=R) and the access 1514 database won't succeed. 1515 1516 This will be fixed in BIND 8.2.1. For earlier versions, this can 1517 be fixed by making "dns" the last name service queried for host 1518 resolution in /etc/irs.conf: 1519 1520 hosts local continue 1521 hosts dns 1522 1523strtoul 1524 Some compilers (notably gcc) claim to be ANSI C but do not 1525 include the ANSI-required routine "strtoul". If your compiler 1526 has this problem, you will get an error in srvrsmtp.c on the 1527 code: 1528 1529 # ifdef defined(__STDC__) && !defined(BROKEN_ANSI_LIBRARY) 1530 e->e_msgsize = strtoul(vp, (char **) NULL, 10); 1531 # else 1532 e->e_msgsize = strtol(vp, (char **) NULL, 10); 1533 # endif 1534 1535 You can use -DBROKEN_ANSI_LIBRARY to get around this problem. 1536 1537Listproc 6.0c 1538 Date: 23 Sep 1995 23:56:07 GMT 1539 Message-ID: <95925101334.~INN-AUMa00187.comp-news@dl.ac.uk> 1540 From: alansz@mellers1.psych.berkeley.edu (Alan Schwartz) 1541 Subject: Listproc 6.0c + Sendmail 8.7 [Helpful hint] 1542 1543 Just upgraded to sendmail 8.7, and discovered that listproc 6.0c 1544 breaks, because it, by default, sends a blank "HELO" rather than 1545 a "HELO hostname" when using the 'system' or 'telnet' mailmethod. 1546 1547 The fix is to include -DZMAILER in the compilation, which will 1548 cause it to use "HELO hostname" (which Z-mail apparently requires 1549 as well. :) 1550 1551OpenSSL 1552 OpenSSL versions prior to 0.9.6 use a macro named Free which 1553 conflicts with existing macro names on some platforms, such as 1554 AIX. 1555 Do not use 0.9.3, but OpenSSL 0.9.5a or later if compatible with 1556 0.9.5a. 1557 1558sfio 1559 You may run into problems if you use sfio2000 (the body of a 1560 message is lost). Use sfio1999 instead; however, it also has 1561 a bug that can cause sendmail to fail. A patch has been provided 1562 by Petr Lampa of Brno University of Technology, which is given here: 1563 1564diff -rc ../../../../sfio/src/lib/sfio/sfputr.c ./sfputr.c 1565*** ../../../../sfio/src/lib/sfio/sfputr.c Tue May 16 18:25:49 2000 1566--- ./sfputr.c Wed Sep 20 09:06:01 2000 1567*************** 1568*** 24,29 **** 1569--- 24,30 ---- 1570 for(w = 0; (*s || rc >= 0); ) 1571 { SFWPEEK(f,ps,p); 1572 1573+ if(p == -1) return -1; /* PL */ 1574 if(p == 0 || (f->flags&SF_WHOLE) ) 1575 { n = strlen(s); 1576 if(p >= (n + (rc < 0 ? 0 : 1)) ) 1577 1578 1579PH 1580 PH support is provided by Mark Roth <roth@uiuc.edu>.

If not, a bad guy whom 1596 you reject will connect to your site, fail, and move on to the next 1597 MX site, which will accept the mail for you and forward it on to you. 1598 1599Regular Expressions (MAP_REGEX) 1600 If sendmail linking fails with: 1601 1602 undefined reference to 'regcomp' 1603 1604 or sendmail gives an error about a regular expression with: 1605 1606 pattern-compile-error: : Operation not applicable 1607 1608 Your libc does not include a running version of POSIX-regex. Use 1609 librx or regex.o from the GNU Free Software Foundation, 1610 ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/rx-?.?.tar.gz or 1611 ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/regex-?.?.tar.gz. 1612 You can also use the regex-lib by Henry Spencer, 1613 ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/languages/C/spencer/regex.shar.gz 1614 Make sure, your compiler reads regex.h from the distribution, 1615 not from /usr/include, otherwise sendmail will dump a core. 1616 1617 1618+--------------+ 1619| MANUAL PAGES | 1620+--------------+ 1621 1622The manual pages have been written against the -man macros, and 1623should format correctly with any reasonable *roff. 1624 1625 1626+-----------------+ 1627| DEBUGGING HOOKS | 1628+-----------------+ 1629 1630As of 8.6.5, sendmail daemons will catch a SIGUSR1 signal and log 1631some debugging output (logged at LOG_DEBUG severity). The 1632information dumped is: 1633 1634 * The value of the $j macro. 1635 * A warning if $j is not in the set $=w. 1636 * A list of the open file descriptors. 1637 * The contents of the connection cache. 1638 * If ruleset 89 is defined, it is evaluated and the results printed. 1639 1640This allows you to get information regarding the runtime state of the 1641daemon on the fly. This should not be done too frequently, since 1642the process of rewriting may lose memory which will not be recovered. 1643Also, ruleset 89 may call non-reentrant routines, so there is a small 1644non-zero probability that this will cause other problems. It is 1645really only for debugging serious problems. 1646 1647A typical formulation of ruleset 89 would be: 1648 1649 R$* $@ $>0 some test address 1650 1651 1652+-----------------------------+ 1653| DESCRIPTION OF SOURCE FILES | 1654+-----------------------------+ 1655 1656The following list describes the files in this directory: 1657 1658Build Shell script for building sendmail. 1659Makefile A convenience for calling ./Build. 1660Makefile.m4 A template for constructing a makefile based on the 1661 information in the devtools directory. 1662README This file. 1663TRACEFLAGS My own personal list of the trace flags -- not guaranteed 1664 to be particularly up to date. 1665alias.c Does name aliasing in all forms. 1666aliases.5 Man page describing the format of the aliases file. 1667arpadate.c A subroutine which creates ARPANET standard dates. 1668bf.h Buffered file I/O function declarations. 1669bf_portable.c Stub routines for systems lacking the Torek stdio library. 1670bf_portable.h Data structure and function declarations for bf_portable.c. 1671bf_torek.c Routines to implement memory-buffered file system using 1672 hooks provided by Torek stdio library. 1673bf_torek.h Data structure and function declarations for bf_torek.c. 1674clock.c Routines to implement real-time oriented functions 1675 in sendmail -- e.g., timeouts. 1676collect.c The routine that actually reads the mail into a temp 1677 file.
