18!! 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.

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+----------------------+
87| DATABASE DEFINITIONS |
88+----------------------+
89
90There are several database formats that can be used for the alias files
91and for general maps.  When used for alias files they interact in an
92attempt to be backward compatible.
93
94The options are:
95
96NEWDB		The new Berkeley DB package.  Some systems (e.g., BSD/OS and
97		Digital UNIX 4.0) have some version of this package
98		pre-installed.  If your system does not have Berkeley DB
99		pre-installed, or the version installed is not version 2.0
100		or greater (e.g., is Berkeley DB 1.85 or 1.86), get the
101		current version from http://www.sleepycat.com/.  DO NOT
102		use a version from any of the University of California,
103		Berkeley "Net" or other distributions.  If you are still
104		running BSD/386 1.x, you will need to upgrade the included
105		Berkeley DB library to a current version.  NEWDB is included
106		automatically if the Build script can find a library named
107		libdb.a or libdb.so.
108NDBM		The older NDBM implementation -- the very old V7 DBM
109		implementation is no longer supported.
110NIS		Network Information Services.  To use this you must have
111		NIS support on your system.
112NISPLUS		NIS+ (the revised NIS released with Solaris 2).  You must
113		have NIS+ support on your system to use this flag.
114HESIOD		Support for Hesiod (from the DEC/Athena distribution).  You
115		must already have Hesiod support on your system for this to
116		work.  You may be able to get this to work with the MIT/Athena
117		version of Hesiod, but that's likely to be a lot of work.
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| 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.
462
463+-----------------------+
464| COMPILE-TIME FEATURES |
465+-----------------------+
466
467There are a bunch of features that you can decide to compile in, such
468as selecting various database packages and special protocol support.
469Several are assumed based on other compilation flags -- if you want to
470"un-assume" something, you probably need to edit conf.h.  Compilation
471flags that add support for special features include:
472
473NDBM		Include support for "new" DBM library for aliases and maps.
474		Normally defined in the Makefile.
475NEWDB		Include support for Berkeley DB package (hash & btree)
476		for aliases and maps.  Normally defined in the Makefile.
477		If the version of NEWDB you have is the old one that does
478		not include the "fd" call (this call was added in version
479		1.5 of the Berkeley DB code), you must upgrade to the
480		current version of Berkeley DB.
481NIS		Define this to get NIS (YP) support for aliases and maps.
482		Normally defined in the Makefile.
483NISPLUS		Define this to get NIS+ support for aliases and maps.
484		Normally defined in the Makefile.
485HESIOD		Define this to get Hesiod support for aliases and maps.
486		Normally defined in the Makefile.
487NETINFO		Define this to get NeXT NetInfo support for aliases and maps.
488		Normally defined in the Makefile.
489LDAPMAP		Define this to get LDAP support for maps.
490PH_MAP		Define this to get PH support for maps.
491MAP_NSD		Define this to get nsd support for maps.
492USERDB		Define this to 1 to include support for the User Information
493		Database.  Implied by NEWDB or HESIOD.  You can use
494		-DUSERDB=0 to explicitly turn it off.
495IDENTPROTO	Define this as 1 to get IDENT (RFC 1413) protocol support.
496		This is assumed unless you are running on Ultrix or
497		HP-UX, both of which have a problem in the UDP
498		implementation.  You can define it to be 0 to explicitly
499		turn off IDENT protocol support.  If defined off, the code
500		is actually still compiled in, but it defaults off; you
501		can turn it on by setting the IDENT timeout in the
502		configuration file.
503IP_SRCROUTE	Define this to 1 to get IP source routing information
504		displayed in the Received: header.  This is assumed on
505		most systems, but some (e.g., Ultrix) apparently have a
506		broken version of getsockopt that doesn't properly
507		support the IP_OPTIONS call.  You probably want this if
508		your OS can cope with it.  Symptoms of failure will be that
509		it won't compile properly (that is, no support for fetching
510		IP_OPTIONs), or it compiles but source-routed TCP connections
511		either refuse to open or open and hang for no apparent reason.
512		Ultrix and AIX3 are known to fail this way.
513LOG		Set this to get syslog(3) support.  Defined by default
514		in conf.h.  You want this if at all possible.
515NETINET		Set this to get TCP/IP support.  Defined by default
516		in conf.h.  You probably want this.
517NETINET6	Set this to get IPv6 support.  Other configuration may
518		be needed in conf.h for your particular operating system.
519		Also, DaemonPortOptions must be set appropriately for
520		sendmail to accept IPv6 connections.
521NETISO		Define this to get ISO networking support.
522NETUNIX		Define this to get Unix domain networking support.  Defined
523		by default.  A few bizarre systems (SCO, ISC, Altos) don't
524		support this networking domain.
525NETNS		Define this to get NS networking support.
526NETX25		Define this to get X.25 networking support.
527SMTP		Define this to get the SMTP code.  Implied by NETINET
528		or NETISO.
529NAMED_BIND	If non-zero, include DNS (name daemon) support, including
530		MX support.  The specs say you must use this if you run
531		SMTP.  You don't have to be running a name server daemon
532		on your machine to need this -- any use of the DNS resolver,
533		including remote access to another machine, requires this
534		option.  Defined by default in conf.h.  Define it to zero
535		ONLY on machines that do not use DNS in any way.
536QUEUE		Define this to get queueing code.  Implied by NETINET
537		or NETISO; required by SMTP.  This gives you other good
538		stuff -- it should be on.
539DAEMON		Define this to get general network support.  Implied by
540		NETINET or NETISO.  Defined by default in conf.h.  You
541		almost certainly want it on.
542MATCHGECOS	Permit fuzzy matching of user names against the full
543		name (GECOS) field in the /etc/passwd file.  This should
544		probably be on, since you can disable it from the config
545		file if you want to.  Defined by default in conf.h.
546MIME8TO7	If non-zero, include 8 to 7 bit MIME conversions.  This
547		also controls advertisement of 8BITMIME in the ESMTP
548		startup dialogue.
549MIME7TO8	If non-zero, include 7 to 8 bit MIME conversions.
550HES_GETMAILHOST	Define this to 1 if you are using Hesiod with the
551		hes_getmailhost() routine.  This is included with the MIT
552		Hesiod distribution, but not with the DEC Hesiod distribution.
553XDEBUG		Do additional internal checking.  These don't cost too
554		much; you might as well leave this on.
555TCPWRAPPERS	Turns on support for the TCP wrappers library (-lwrap).
556		See below for further information.
557SECUREWARE	Enable calls to the SecureWare luid enabling/changing routines.
558		SecureWare is a C2 security package added to several UNIX's
559		(notably ConvexOS) to get a C2 Secure system.  This
560		option causes mail delivery to be done with the luid of the
561		recipient.
562SHARE_V1	Support for the fair share scheduler, version 1.  Setting to
563		1 causes final delivery to be done using the recipients
564		resource limitations.  So far as I know, this is only
565		supported on ConvexOS.
566SASL		Enables SMTP AUTH (RFC 2554). This requires the Cyrus SASL
567		library (ftp://ftp.andrew.cmu.edu/pub/cyrus-mail/).  Please
568		install at least version 1.5.13.  See below for further
569		information: SASL COMPILATION AND CONFIGURATION.  If your
570		SASL library is older than 1.5.10, you have to set this
571		to its version number using a simple conversion:  a.b.c
572		-> c + b*100 + a*10000, e.g. for 1.5.9 define SASL=10509.
573		Note: Using an older version than 1.5.5 of Cyrus SASL is
574		not supported. Starting with version 1.5.10, setting SASL=1
575		is sufficient. Any value other than 1 (or 0) will be
576		compared with the actual version found and if there is a
577		mismatch, compilation will fail.
578EGD		Define this if your system has EGD installed, see
579		http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/ . It should be used to
580		seed the PRNG for STARTTLS if HASURANDOMDEV is not defined.
581STARTTLS	Enables SMTP STARTTLS (RFC 2487). This requires OpenSSL
582		(http://www.OpenSSL.org/) and sfio (see below).
583		Use OpenSSL 0.9.5a or later (if compatible with this
584		version), do not use 0.9.3.
585		See STARTTLS COMPILATION AND CONFIGURATION for further
586		information.
587TLS_NO_RSA	Turn off support for RSA algorithms in STARTTLS.
588SFIO		Uses sfio instead of stdio. sfio is available from AT&T
589		(http://www.research.att.com/sw/tools/sfio/).  If this
590		compile flag is set, confSTDIO_TYPE must be set to portable.
591		This compile flag is necessary for STARTTLS; it also
592		enables the security layer of SASL.  The sfio include file
593		stdio.h must be installed in a subdirectory called sfio,
594		i.e., if you install sfio in /usr/local, stdio.h should
595		be in /usr/local/include/sfio, and libsfio.a should be in
596		/usr/local/lib.  Notice: read the sfio section in
597		OPERATING SYSTEM AND COMPILE QUIRKS.

601| DNS/RESOLVER ISSUES |
602+---------------------+
603
604Many systems have old versions of the resolver library.  At a minimum,
605you should be running BIND 4.8.3; older versions may compile, but they
606have known bugs that should give you pause.
607
608Common problems in old versions include "undefined" errors for
609dn_skipname.
610
611Some people have had a problem with BIND 4.9; it uses some routines
612that it expects to be externally defined such as strerror().  It may
613help to link with "-l44bsd" to solve this problem.  This has apparently
614been fixed in later versions of BIND, starting around 4.9.3.  In other
615words, if you use 4.9.0 through 4.9.2, you need -l44bsd; for earlier or
616later versions, you do not.
617
618!PLEASE! be sure to link with the same version of the resolver as
619the header files you used -- some people have used the 4.9 headers
620and linked with BIND 4.8 or vice versa, and it doesn't work.
621Unfortunately, it doesn't fail in an obvious way -- things just
622subtly don't work.
623
624WILDCARD MX RECORDS ARE A BAD IDEA!  The only situation in which they
625work reliably is if you have two versions of DNS, one in the real world
626which has a wildcard pointing to your firewall, and a completely
627different version of the database internally that does not include
628wildcard MX records that match your domain.  ANYTHING ELSE WILL GIVE
629YOU HEADACHES!
630
631When attempting to canonify a hostname, some broken name servers will
632return SERVFAIL (a temporary failure) on T_AAAA (IPv6) lookups.  If you
633want to excuse this behavior, compile sendmail with
634-D_FFR_WORKAROUND_BROKEN_NAMESERVERS and add WorkAroundBrokenAAAA to your
635ResolverOptions setting.  However, instead, we recommend catching the
636problem and reporting it to the name server administrator so we can rid the
637world of broken name servers.
638
639+----------------------------------------+
640| STARTTLS COMPILATION AND CONFIGURATION |
641+----------------------------------------+
642
643Please read the docs accompanying the OpenSSL library and sfio.
644You have to compile and install both libraries before you can compile
645sendmail.  See devtools/README how to set the correct compile time
646parameters; you should at least set the following variables:
647
648define(`confSTDIO_TYPE', `portable')
649APPENDDEF(`confENVDEF', `-DSFIO')
650APPENDDEF(`confLIBS', `-lsfio')
651APPENDDEF(`conf_sendmail_ENVDEF', `-DSTARTTLS')
652APPENDDEF(`conf_sendmail_LIBS', `-lssl -lcrypto')
653
654Configuration information can be found in doc/op/op.me (required
655certificates) and cf/README (how to tell sendmail about certificates).
656
657To perform an initial test, connect to your sendmail daemon
658(telnet localhost 25) and issue a EHLO localhost and see whether
659250-STARTTLS
660is in the response.  If it isn't, run the daemon with
661-O LogLevel=14
662and try again.  Then take a look at the logfile and see whether
663there are any problems listed about permissions (unsafe files)
664or the validity of X.509 certificates.
665
666Note: sfio must be used in all libraries with which sendmail exchanges
667file pointers. That is, libsmutil must be compiled with sfio, which
668is accomplished by the above config parameters. Another example is
669PH map support.  This does not apply to the usual libraries, e.g.,
670OpenSSL, Berkeley DB, Cyrus SASL.
671
672Further information can be found via:
673http://www.sendmail.org/tips/
674
675
676+------------------------------------+
677| SASL COMPILATION AND CONFIGURATION |
678+------------------------------------+
679
680Please read the docs accompanying the library (INSTALL and README).
681If you use Berkeley DB for Cyrus SASL then you must compile sendmail
682with the same version of Berkeley DB.
683
684You have to select and install authentication mechanisms and tell
685sendmail where to find the sasl library and the include files (see
686devtools/README for the parameters to set). Setup the required
687users and passwords as explained in the SASL documentation.  See
688also cf/README for authentication related options (esp. DefaultAuthInfo
689if you want authentication between MTAs).
690
691To perform an initial test, connect to your sendmail daemon
692(telnet localhost 25) and issue a EHLO localhost and see whether
693250-AUTH ....
694is in the response.  If it isn't, run the daemon with
695-O LogLevel=14
696and try again.  Then take a look at the logfile and see whether
697there are any security related problems listed (unsafe files).

707GCC problems
708	*****************************************************************
709	**  IMPORTANT:  DO NOT USE OPTIMIZATION (``-O'') IF YOU ARE    **
710	**  RUNNING GCC 2.4.x or 2.5.x.  THERE IS A BUG IN THE GCC     **
711	**  OPTIMIZER THAT CAUSES SENDMAIL COMPILES TO FAIL MISERABLY. **
712	*****************************************************************
713
714	Jim Wilson of Cygnus believes he has found the problem -- it will
715	probably be fixed in GCC 2.5.6 -- but until this is verified, be
716	very suspicious of gcc -O.  This problem is reported to have been
717	fixed in gcc 2.6.
718
719	A bug in gcc 2.5.5 caused problems compiling sendmail 8.6.5 with
720	optimization on a Sparc.  If you are using gcc 2.5.5, youi should
721	upgrade to the latest version of gcc.
722
723	Apparently GCC 2.7.0 on the Pentium processor has optimization
724	problems.  I recommend against using -O on that architecture.  This
725	has been seen on FreeBSD 2.0.5 RELEASE.
726
727	Solaris 2.X users should use version 2.7.2.3 over 2.7.2.
728
729	We have been told there are problems with gcc 2.8.0.  If you are
730	using this version, you should upgrade to 2.8.1 or later.
731
732GDBM	GDBM does not work with sendmail 8.8 because the additional
733	security checks and file locking cause problems.  Unfortunately,
734	gdbm does not provide a compile flag in its version of ndbm.h so
735	the code can adapt.  Until the GDBM authors can fix these problems,
736	GDBM will not be supported.  Please use Berkeley DB instead.
737
738Configuration file location
739	Up to 8.6, sendmail tried to find the sendmail.cf file in the same
740	place as the vendors had put it, even when this was obviously
741	stupid.  As of 8.7, sendmail ALWAYS looks for /etc/sendmail.cf.
742	Beginning with 8.10, sendmail uses /etc/mail/sendmail.cf.
743	You can get sendmail to use the stupid vendor .cf location by
744	adding -DUSE_VENDOR_CF_PATH during compilation, but this may break
745	support programs and scripts that need to find sendmail.cf.  You
746	are STRONGLY urged to use symbolic links if you want to use the
747	vendor location rather than changing the location in the sendmail
748	binary.
749
750	NETINFO systems use NETINFO to determine the location of
751	sendmail.cf. The full path to sendmail.cf is stored as the value of
752	the "sendmail.cf" property in the "/locations/sendmail"
753	subdirectory of NETINFO. Set the value of this property to
754	"/etc/mail/sendmail.cf" (without the quotes) to use this new
755	default location for Sendmail 8.10.0 and higher.
756
757ControlSocket permissions
758	Paraphrased from BIND 8.2.1's README:
759
760	Solaris and other pre-4.4BSD kernels do not respect ownership or
761	protections on UNIX-domain sockets.  The short term fix for this is to
762	override the default path and put such control sockets into root-
763	owned directories which do not permit non-root to r/w/x through them.
764	The long term fix is for all kernels to upgrade to 4.4BSD semantics.
765
766SunOS 4.x (Solaris 1.x)
767	You may have to use -lresolv on SunOS.  However, beware that
768	this links in a new version of gethostbyname that does not
769	understand NIS, so you must have all of your hosts in DNS.
770
771	Some people have reported problems with the SunOS version of
772	-lresolv and/or in.named, and suggest that you get a newer
773	version.  The symptoms are delays when you connect to the
774	SMTP server on a SunOS machine or having your domain added to
775	addresses inappropriately.  There is a version of BIND
776	version 4.9 on gatekeeper.DEC.COM in pub/BSD/bind/4.9.
777
778	There is substantial disagreement about whether you can make
779	this work with resolv+, which allows you to specify a search-path
780	of services.  Some people report that it works fine, others
781	claim it doesn't work at all (including causing sendmail to
782	drop core when it tries to do multiple resolv+ lookups for a
783	single job).  I haven't tried resolv+, as we use DNS exclusively.
784
785	Should you want to try resolv+, it is on ftp.uu.net in
786	/networking/ip/dns.
787
788	Apparently getservbyname() can fail under moderate to high
789	load under some circumstances.  This will exhibit itself as
790	the message ``554 makeconnection: service "smtp" unknown''.
791	The problem has been traced to one or more blank lines in
792	/etc/services on the NIS server machine.  Delete these
793	and it should work.  This info is thanks to Brian Bartholomew
794	<bb@math.ufl.edu> of I-Kinetics, Inc.
795
796	NOTE: The SunOS 4.X linker uses library paths specified during
797	compilation using -L for run-time shared library searches.
798	Therefore, it is vital that relative and unsafe directory paths not
799	be used when compiling sendmail.
800
801SunOS 4.0.2 (Sun 386i)
802	Date: Fri, 25 Aug 1995 11:13:58 +0200 (MET DST)
803	From: teus@oce.nl
804
805	Sendmail 8.7.Beta.12 compiles and runs nearly out of the box with the
806	following changes:
807	* Don't use /usr/5bin in your PATH, but make /usr/5bin/uname
808	  available as "uname" command.
809	* Use the defines "-DBSD4_3 -DNAMED_BIND=0" in
810	  devtools/OS/SunOS.4.0, which is selected via the "uname" command.
811	I recommend to make available the db-library on the system first
812	(and change the Makefile to use this library).
813	Note that the sendmail.cf and aliases files are found in /etc.
814
815SunOS 4.1.3, 4.1.3_U1
816	Sendmail causes crashes on SunOS 4.1.3 and 4.1.3_U1.  According
817	to Sun bug number 1077939:
818
819	If an application does a getsockopt() on a SOCK_STREAM (TCP) socket
820	after the other side of the connection has sent a TCP RESET for
821	the stream, the kernel gets a Bus Trap in the tcp_ctloutput() or
822	ip_ctloutput() routine.
823
824	For 4.1.3, this is fixed in patch 100584-08, available on the
825	Sunsolve 2.7.1 or later CDs.  For 4.1.3_U1, this was fixed in patch
826	101790-01 (SunOS 4.1.3_U1: TCP socket and reset problems), later
827	obsoleted by patch 102010-05.
828
829	Sun patch 100584-08 is not currently publicly available on their
830	ftp site but a user has reported it can be found at other sites
831	using a web search engine.
832
833Solaris 2.x (SunOS 5.x)
834	To compile for Solaris, the Makefile built by Build must
835	include a SOLARIS definition which reflects the Solaris version
836	(i.e. -DSOLARIS=20400 for 2.4 or -DSOLARIS=20501 for 2.5.1).
837	If you are using gcc, make sure -I/usr/include is not used (or
838	it might complain about TopFrame).  If you are using Sun's cc,
839	make sure /opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc is used instead of /usr/ucb/cc
840	(or it might complain about tm_zone).
841
842	The Solaris "syslog" function is apparently limited to something
843	about 90 characters because of a kernel limitation.  If you have
844	source code, you can probably up this number.  You can get patches
845	that fix this problem: the patch ids are:
846
847		Solaris 2.1	100834
848		Solaris 2.2	100999
849		Solaris 2.3	101318
850
851	Be sure you have the appropriate patch installed or you won't
852	see system logging.
853
854Solaris 2.4 (SunOS 5.4)
855	If you include /usr/lib at the end of your LD_LIBRARY_PATH you run
856	the risk of getting the wrong libraries under some circumstances.
857	This is because of a new feature in Solaris 2.4, described by
858	Rod.Evans@Eng.Sun.COM:
859
860	>> Prior to SunOS 5.4, any LD_LIBRARY_PATH setting was ignored by the
861	>> runtime linker if the application was setxid (secure), thus your
862	>> applications search path would be:
863	>>
864	>>	/usr/local/lib	LD_LIBRARY_PATH component - IGNORED
865	>>	/usr/lib	LD_LIBRARY_PATH component - IGNORED
866	>>	/usr/local/lib	RPATH - honored
867	>>	/usr/lib	RPATH - honored
868	>>
869	>> the effect is that path 3 would be the first used, and this would
870	>> satisfy your resolv.so lookup.
871	>>
872	>> In SunOS 5.4 we made the LD_LIBRARY_PATH a little more flexible.
873	>> People who developed setxid applications wanted to be able to alter
874	>> the library search path to some degree to allow for their own
875	>> testing and debugging mechanisms.  It was decided that the only
876	>> secure way to do this was to allow a `trusted' path to be used in
877	>> LD_LIBRARY_PATH.  The only trusted directory we presently define
878	>> is /usr/lib.  Thus a setuid root developer could play with some
879	>> alternative shared object implementations and place them in
880	>> /usr/lib (being root we assume they'ed have access to write in this
881	>> directory).  This change was made as part of 1155380 - after a

893Solaris 2.5.1 (SunOS 5.5.1) and 2.6 (SunOS 5.6)
894	Apparently Solaris 2.5.1 patch 103663-01 installs a new
895	/usr/include/resolv.h file that defines the __P macro without
896	checking to see if it is already defined.  This new resolv.h is also
897	included in the Solaris 2.6 distribution. This causes compile
898	warnings such as:
899
900	   In file included from daemon.c:51:
901	   /usr/include/resolv.h:208: warning: `__P' redefined
902	   cdefs.h:58: warning: this is the location of the previous definition
903
904	These warnings can be safely ignored or you can create a resolv.h
905	file in the obj.SunOS.5.5.1.* or obj.SunOS.5.6.* directory that reads:
906
907	   #undef __P
908	   #include "/usr/include/resolv.h"
909
910	Sun is aware of the problem (Sun bug ID 4081053) and it will be fixed
911	in Solaris 2.7.
912
913Solaris 7 (SunOS 5.7)
914	Solaris 7 includes LDAP libraries but the implementation was
915	lacking a few things.  The following settings can be placed in
916	devtools/Site/site.SunOS.5.7.m4 if you plan on using those
917	libraries.
918
919	APPENDDEF(`confMAPDEF', `-DLDAPMAP')
920	APPENDDEF(`confENVDEF', `-DLDAP_VERSION_MAX=3')
921	APPENDDEF(`confLIBS', `-lldap')
922
923	Also, Sun's patch 107555 is needed to prevent a crash in the call
924	to ldap_set_option for LDAP_OPT_REFERRALS in ldapmap_setopts if
925	LDAP support is compiled in sendmail.
926
927Solaris
928	If you are using dns for hostname resolution on Solaris, make sure
929	that the 'dns' entry is last on the hosts line in
930	'/etc/nsswitch.conf'.  For example, use:
931
932		hosts:	nisplus files dns
933
934	Do not use:
935
936		host:  nisplus dns [NOTFOUND=return] files
937
938	Note that 'nisplus' above is an illustration.  The same comment
939	applies no matter what naming services you are using.  If you have
940	anything other than dns last, even after "[NOTFOUND=return]",
941	sendmail may not be able to determine whether an error was
942	temporary or permanent.  The error returned by the solaris
943	gethostbyname() is the error for the last lookup used, and other
944	naming services do not have the same concept of temporary failure.
945
946Ultrix
947	By default, the IDENT protocol is turned off on Ultrix.  If you
948	are running Ultrix 4.4 or later, or if you have included patch
949	CXO-8919 for Ultrix 4.2 or 4.3 to fix the TCP problem, you can turn
950	IDENT on in the configuration file by setting the "ident" timeout.
951
952	The Ultrix 4.5 Y2K patch (ULTV45-022-1) has changed the resolver
953	included in libc.a.  Unfortunately, the __RES symbol hasn't changed
954	and therefore, sendmail can no longer automatically detect the
955	newer version.  If you get a compiler error:
956
957	/lib/libc.a(gethostent.o): local_hostname_length: multiply defined
958
959	Then rebuild with this in devtools/Site/site.ULTRIX.m4:
960
961	APPENDDEF(`conf_sendmail_ENVDEF', `-DNEEDLOCAL_HOSTNAME_LENGTH=0')
962
963Digital UNIX (formerly DEC OSF/1)
964	If you are compiling on OSF/1 (DEC Alpha), you must use
965	-L/usr/shlib (otherwise it core dumps on startup).  You may also
966	need -mld to get the nlist() function, although some versions
967	apparently don't need this.
968
969	Also, the enclosed makefile removed /usr/sbin/smtpd; if you need
970	it, just create the link to the sendmail binary.
971
972	On DEC OSF/1 3.2 or earlier, the MatchGECOS option doesn't work
973	properly due to a bug in the getpw* routines.  If you want to use
974	this, use -DDEC_OSF_BROKEN_GETPWENT=1.  The problem is fixed in 3.2C.
975
976	Digital's mail delivery agent, /bin/mail (aka /bin/binmail), will
977	only preserve the envelope sender in the "From " header if
978	DefaultUserID is set to daemon.  Setting this to mailnull will
979	cause all mail to have the header "From mailnull ...".  To use
980	a different DefaultUserID, you will need to use a different mail
981	delivery agent (such as mail.local found in the sendmail
982	distribution).
983
984	On Digital UNIX 4.0 and later, Berkeley DB 1.85 is included with the
985	operating system and already has the ndbm.o module removed.  However,
986	Digital has modified the original Berkeley DB db.h include file.
987	This results in the following warning while compiling map.c and udb.c:
988
989	cc: Warning: /usr/include/db.h, line 74: The redefinition of the macro
990	 "__signed" conflicts with a current definition because the replacement
991	 lists differ.  The redefinition is now in effect.
992	#define __signed        signed
993	------------------------^
994
995	This warning can be ignored.
996
997	Digital UNIX's linker checks /usr/ccs/lib/ before /usr/lib/.
998	If you have installed a new version of BIND in /usr/include
999	and /usr/lib, you will experience difficulties as Digital ships
1000	libresolv.a in /usr/ccs/lib/ as well.  Be sure to replace both
1001	copies of libresolv.a.
1002
1003IRIX
1004	The header files on SGI IRIX are completely prototyped, and as
1005	a result you can sometimes get some warning messages during
1006	compilation.  These can be ignored.  There are two errors in
1007	deliver only if you are using gcc, both of the form ``warning:
1008	passing arg N of `execve' from incompatible pointer type''.
1009	Also, if you compile with -DNIS, you will get a complaint
1010	about a declaration of struct dom_binding in a prototype
1011	when compiling map.c; this is not important because the
1012	function being prototyped is not used in that file.
1013
1014	In order to compile sendmail you will have had to install
1015	the developers' option in order to get the necessary include
1016	files.
1017
1018	If you compile with -lmalloc (the fast memory allocator), you may
1019	get warning messages such as the following:
1020
1021	   ld32: WARNING 85: definition of _calloc in /usr/lib32/libmalloc.so
1022		preempts that definition in /usr/lib32/mips3/libc.so.
1023	   ld32: WARNING 85: definition of _malloc in /usr/lib32/libmalloc.so
1024		preempts that definition in /usr/lib32/mips3/libc.so.
1025	   ld32: WARNING 85: definition of _realloc in /usr/lib32/libmalloc.so
1026		preempts that definition in /usr/lib32/mips3/libc.so.
1027	   ld32: WARNING 85: definition of _free in /usr/lib32/libmalloc.so
1028		preempts that definition in /usr/lib32/mips3/libc.so.
1029	   ld32: WARNING 85: definition of _cfree in /usr/lib32/libmalloc.so
1030		preempts that definition in /usr/lib32/mips3/libc.so.
1031
1032	These are unavoidable and innocuous -- just ignore them.
1033
1034	According to Dave Sill <de5@ornl.gov>, there is a version of the
1035	Berkeley DB library patched to run on Irix 6.2 available from
1036	http://reality.sgi.com/ariel/freeware/#db .
1037
1038IRIX 6.x
1039	If you are using XFS filesystem, avoid using the -32 ABI switch to
1040	the cc compiler if possible.
1041
1042	Broken inet_aton and inet_ntoa on IRIX using gcc: There's
1043	a problem with gcc on IRIX, i.e., gcc can't pass structs
1044	less than 16 bits long unless they are 8 bits; IRIX 6.2 has
1045	some other sized structs.  See
1046	http://www.bitmechanic.com/mail-archives/mysql/current/0418.html
1047
1048IRIX 6.4
1049	The IRIX 6.5.4 version of /bin/m4 does not work properly with
1050	sendmail.  Either install fw_m4.sw.m4 off the Freeware_May99 CD and
1051	use /usr/freeware/bin/m4 or install and use GNU m4.
1052
1053NeXT or NEXTSTEP
1054	NEXTSTEP 3.3 and earlier ship with the old DBM library.  Also,
1055	Berkeley DB does not currently run on NEXTSTEP.
1056
1057	If you are compiling on NEXTSTEP, you will have to create an
1058	empty file "unistd.h" and create a file "dirent.h" containing:
1059
1060		#include <sys/dir.h>
1061		#define dirent	direct
1062
1063	(devtools/OS/NeXT should try to do both of these for you.)
1064
1065	Apparently, there is a bug in getservbyname on Nextstep 3.0
1066	that causes it to fail under some circumstances with the
1067	message "SYSERR: service "smtp" unknown" logged.  You should
1068	be able to work around this by including the line:
1069
1070		OOPort=25
1071
1072	in your .cf file.
1073
1074BSDI (BSD/386) 1.0, NetBSD 0.9, FreeBSD 1.0
1075	The "m4" from BSDI won't handle the config files properly.
1076	I haven't had a chance to test this myself.
1077
1078	The M4 shipped in FreeBSD and NetBSD 0.9 don't handle the config
1079	files properly. One must use either GNU m4 1.1 or the PD-M4
1080	recently posted in comp.os.386bsd.bugs (and maybe others).
1081	NetBSD-current includes the PD-M4 (as stated in the NetBSD file
1082	CHANGES).
1083
1084	FreeBSD 1.0 RELEASE has uname(2) now. Use -DUSEUNAME in order to
1085	use it (look into devtools/OS/FreeBSD). NetBSD-current may have
1086	it too but it has not been verified.
1087
1088	The latest version of Berkeley DB uses a different naming
1089	scheme than the version that is supplied with your release.  This
1090	means you will be able to use the current version of Berkeley DB
1091	with sendmail as long you use the new db.h when compiling
1092	sendmail and link it against the new libdb.a or libdb.so.  You
1093	should probably keep the original db.h in /usr/include and the
1094	new db.h in /usr/local/include.
1095
10964.3BSD
1097	If you are running a "virgin" version of 4.3BSD, you'll have
1098	a very old resolver and be missing some header files.  The
1099	header files are simple -- create empty versions and everything
1100	will work fine.  For the resolver you should really port a new
1101	version (4.8.3 or later) of the resolver; 4.9 is available on
1102	gatekeeper.DEC.COM in pub/BSD/bind/4.9.  If you are really
1103	determined to continue to use your old, buggy version (or as
1104	a shortcut to get sendmail working -- I'm sure you have the
1105	best intentions to port a modern version of BIND), you can
1106	copy ../contrib/oldbind.compat.c into sendmail and add the
1107	following to devtools/Site/site.config.m4:
1108
1109	APPENDDEF(`confOBJADD', `oldbind.compat.o')

1111A/UX
1112	Date: Tue, 12 Oct 1993 18:28:28 -0400 (EDT)
1113	From: "Eric C. Hagberg" <hagberg@med.cornell.edu>
1114	Subject: Fix for A/UX ndbm
1115
1116	I guess this isn't really a sendmail bug, however, it is something
1117	that A/UX users should be aware of when compiling sendmail 8.6.
1118
1119	Apparently, the calls that sendmail is using to the ndbm routines
1120	in A/UX 3.0.x contain calls to "broken" routines, in that the
1121	aliases database will break when it gets "just a little big"
1122	(sorry I don't have exact numbers here, but it broke somewhere
1123	around 20-25 aliases for me.), making all aliases non-functional
1124	after exceeding this point.
1125
1126	What I did was to get the gnu-dbm-1.6 package, compile it, and
1127	then re-compile sendmail with "-lgdbm", "-DNDBM", and using the
1128	ndbm.h header file that comes with the gnu-package. This makes
1129	things behave properly.
1130	  [NOTE: see comment above about GDBM]
1131
1132	I suppose porting the New Berkeley DB package is another route,
1133	however, I made a quick attempt at it, and found it difficult
1134	(not easy at least); the gnu-dbm package "configured" and
1135	compiled easily.
1136
1137	  [NOTE: Berkeley DB version 2.X runs on A/UX and can be used for
1138	  database maps.]

1140SCO Unix
1141	From: Thomas Essebier <tom@stallion.oz.au>
1142	Organisation:  Stallion Technologies Pty Ltd.
1143
1144	It will probably help those who are trying to configure sendmail 8.6.9
1145	to know that if they are on SCO, they had better set
1146		OI-dnsrch
1147	or they will core dump as soon as they try to use the resolver.
1148	ie. although SCO has _res.dnsrch defined, and is kinda BIND 4.8.3, it
1149	does not inititialise it, nor does it understand 'search' in
1150	/etc/named.boot.
1151		- sigh -
1152
1153	According to SCO, the m4 which ships with UnixWare 2.1.2 is broken.
1154	We recommend installing GNU m4 before attempting to build sendmail.
1155
1156DG/UX
1157	Doug Anderson <dlander@afterlife.ncsc.mil> has successfully run
1158	V8 on the DG/UX 5.4.2 and 5.4R3.x platforms under heavy usage.
1159	Originally, the DG /bin/mail program wasn't compatible with
1160	the V8 sendmail, since the DG /bin/mail requires the environment
1161	variable "_FORCE_MAIL_LOCAL_=yes" be set.  Version 8.7 now includes
1162	this in the environment before invoking the local mailer.  Some
1163	have used procmail to avoid this problem in the past.  It works
1164	but some have experienced file locking problems with their DG/UX
1165	ports of procmail.
1166
1167Apollo DomainOS
1168	If you are compiling on Apollo, you will have to create an empty
1169	file "unistd.h" (for DomainOS 10.3 and earlier) and create a file
1170	"dirent.h" containing:
1171
1172		#include <sys/dir.h>
1173		#define dirent	direct
1174
1175	(devtools/OS/DomainOS will attempt to do both of these for you.)

1177HP-UX 8.00
1178	Date: Mon, 24 Jan 1994 13:25:45 +0200
1179	From: Kimmo Suominen <Kimmo.Suominen@lut.fi>
1180	Subject: 8.6.5 w/ HP-UX 8.00 on s300
1181
1182	Just compiled and fought with sendmail 8.6.5 on a HP9000/360 (ie. a
1183	series 300 machine) running HP-UX 8.00.
1184
1185	I was getting segmentation fault when delivering to a local user.
1186	With debugging I saw it was faulting when doing _free@libc... *sigh*
1187	It seems the new implementation of malloc on s300 is buggy as of 8.0,
1188	so I tried out the one in -lmalloc (malloc(3X)).  With that it seems
1189	to work just dandy.
1190
1191	When linking, you will get the following error:
1192
1193	ld: multiply defined symbol _freespace in file /usr/lib/libmalloc.a
1194
1195	but you can just ignore it.  You might want to add this info to the
1196	README file for the future...
1197
1198Linux
1199	Something broke between versions 0.99.13 and 0.99.14 of Linux:
1200	the flock() system call gives errors.  If you are running .14,
1201	you must not use flock.  You can do this with -DHASFLOCK=0.
1202
1203	Around the inclusion of bind-4.9.3 & Linux libc-4.6.20, the
1204	initialization of the _res structure changed.  If /etc/hosts.conf
1205	was configured as "hosts, bind" the resolver code could return
1206	"Name server failure" errors.  This is supposedly fixed in
1207	later versions of libc (>= 4.6.29?), and later versions of
1208	sendmail (> 8.6.10) try to work around the problem.
1209
1210	Some older versions (< 4.6.20?) of the libc/include files conflict
1211	with sendmail's version of cdefs.h.  Deleting sendmail's version
1212	on those systems should be non-harmful, and new versions don't care.
1213
1214	Sendmail assumes that libc has snprintf, which has been true since
1215	libc 4.7.0.  If you are running an older version, you will need to
1216	use -DHASSNPRINTF=0 in the Makefile.  If may be able to use -lbsd
1217	(which includes snprintf) instead of turning this off on versions
1218	of libc between 4.4.4 and 4.7.0 (snprintf improves security, so
1219	you want to use this if at all possible).
1220
1221	NOTE ON LINUX & BIND:  By default, the Makefile generated for Linux
1222	includes header files in /usr/local/include and libraries in
1223	/usr/local/lib.  If you've installed BIND on your system, the header
1224	files typically end up in the search path and you need to add
1225	"-lresolv" to the LIBS line in your Makefile.  Really old versions
1226	may need to include "-l44bsd" as well (particularly if the link phase
1227	complains about missing strcasecmp, strncasecmp or strpbrk).
1228	Complaints about an undefined reference to `__dn_skipname' in
1229	domain.o are a sure sign that you need to add -lresolv to LIBS.
1230	Newer versions of Linux are basically threaded BIND, so you may or
1231	may not see complaints if you accidentally mix BIND
1232	headers/libraries with virginal libc.  If you have BIND headers in
1233	/usr/local/include (resolv.h, etc) you *should* be adding -lresolv
1234	to LIBS.  Data structures may change and you'd be asking for a
1235	core dump.
1236
1237	A number of problems have been reported regarding the Linux 2.2.0
1238	kernel.  So far, these problems have been tracked down to syslog()
1239	and DNS resolution.  We believe the problem is with the poll()
1240	implementation in the Linux 2.2.0 kernel and poll()-aware versions
1241	of glib (at least up to 2.0.111).
1242
1243	Some pre-glibc distributions of Linux include a syslog.h that does
1244	not work properly with SFIO.  You can fix this by adding
1245	"#include <syslog.h>" to the SFIO version of stdio.h as the very
1246	first line.
1247
1248glibc
1249	glibc 2.2.1 (and possibly other versions) changed the value of
1250	__RES in resolv.h but failed to actually provide the IPv6 API
1251	changes that the change implied.  Therefore, compiling with
1252	-DNETINET6 fails.
1253
1254	Workarounds:
1255	1) Compile without -DNETINET6
1256	2) Build against a real BIND 8.2.2 include/lib tree
1257	3) Wait for glibc to fix it
1258
1259AIX 4.X
1260	The AIX 4.X linker uses library paths specified during compilation
1261	using -L for run-time shared library searches.  Therefore, it is
1262	vital that relative and unsafe directory paths not be using when
1263	compiling sendmail.  Because of this danger, by default, compiles
1264	on AIX use the -blibpath option to limit shared libraries to
1265	/usr/lib and /lib.  If you need to allow more directories, such as
1266	/usr/local/lib, modify your devtools/Site/site.AIX.4.2.m4,
1267	site.AIX.4.3.m4, and/or site.AIX.4.x.m4 file(s) and set confLDOPTS
1268	approriately.  For example:
1269
1270	define(`confLDOPTS', `-blibpath:/usr/lib:/lib:/usr/local/lib')
1271
1272	Be sure to only add (safe) system directories.
1273
1274	The AIX version of GNU ld also exhibits this problem.  If you are
1275	using that version, instead of -blibpath, use its -rpath option.
1276	For example:
1277
1278	gcc -Wl,-rpath /usr/lib -Wl,-rpath /lib -Wl,-rpath /usr/local/lib
1279
1280AIX 4.3.3
1281	From: Valdis.Kletnieks@vt.edu
1282	Date: Sun, 02 Jul 2000 03:58:02 -0400
1283
1284	Under AIX 4.3.3, after applying bos.adt.include 4.3.3.12 to close the
1285	BIND 8.2.2 security holes, you can no longer build with  -DNETINET6
1286	because they changed the value of __RES in resolv.h but failed to
1287	actually provide the API changes that the change implied.
1288
1289	Workarounds:
1290	1) Compile without -DNETINET6
1291	2) Build against a real BIND 8.2.2 include/lib tree
1292	3) Wait for IBM to fix it
1293
1294AIX 4.X
1295	The AIX m4 implements a different mechanism for ifdef which is
1296	inconsistent with other versions of m4.  Therefore, it will not
1297	work properly with the sendmail Build architecture or m4
1298	configuration method.  To work around this problem, please use
1299	GNU m4 from ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/.
1300
1301AIX 3.x
1302	This version of sendmail does not support MB, MG, and MR resource
1303	records, which are supported by AIX sendmail.
1304
1305	Several people have reported that the IBM-supplied named returns
1306	fairly random results -- the named should be replaced.  It is not
1307	necessary to replace the resolver, which will simplify installation.
1308	A new BIND resolver can be found at http://www.isc.org/isc/.

1310AIX 3.1.x
1311	The supplied load average code only works correctly for AIX 3.2.x.
1312	For 3.1, use -DLA_TYPE=LA_SUBR and get the latest ``monitor''
1313	package by Jussi Maki <jmaki@hut.fi> from ftp.funet.fi in the
1314	directory pub/unix/AIX/rs6000/monitor-1.12.tar.Z; use the loadavgd
1315	daemon, and the getloadavg subroutine supplied with that package.
1316	If you don't care about load average throttling, just turn off
1317	load average checking using -DLA_TYPE=LA_ZERO.

1322	Subject: Porting sendmail 8.7.2 to AIX V2 on the RT.
1323
1324	This version of sendmail does not support MB, MG, and MR resource
1325	records, which are supported by AIX sendmail.
1326
1327	AIX V2 on the RT does not have 'paths.h'.  Create a null
1328	file in the 'obj' directory to remove this compile error.
1329
1330	A patch file is needed to get the BSD 'db' library to compile
1331	for AIX/RT.  I have sent the necessary updates to the author,
1332	but they may not be immediately available.
1333	  [NOTE: Berkeley DB version 2.X runs on AIX/RT.]
1334
1335	The original AIX/RT resolver libraries are very old, and you
1336	should get the latest BIND to replace it.  The 4.8.3 version
1337	has been tested, but 4.9.x is out and should work.
1338
1339	To make the load average code work correctly requires an
1340	external routine, as the kernel does not maintain system
1341	load averages, similar to AIX V3.1.x.  A reverse port of the
1342	older 1.05 'monitor' load average daemon code written by
1343	Jussi Maki that will work on AIX V2 for the RT is available
1344	by E-mail to Mark Whetzel  <markw@antimatr.houston.tx.us>.
1345	That code depends on an external daemon to collect system
1346	load information, and the external routine 'getloadavg',
1347	that will return that information.  The 'LA_SUBR' define
1348	will handle this for AIX V2 on the RT.
1349
1350	Note: You will have to change devtools/OS/AIX.2 to correctly
1351	point to the locatons of the updated BIND source tree and
1352	the location of the 'newdb' tree and library location.
1353	You will also have to change devtools/OS/AIX.2 to know
1354	about the location of the 'getloadavg' routine if you use
1355	the LA_SUBR define.
1356
1357RISC/os
1358	RISC/os from MIPS is a merged AT&T/Berkeley system.  When you
1359	compile on that platform you will get duplicate definitions
1360	on many files.  You can ignore these.
1361
1362System V Release 4 Based Systems
1363	There is a single devtools OS that is intended for all SVR4-based
1364	systems (built from devtools/OS/SVR4).  It defines __svr4__,
1365	which is predefined by some compilers.  If your compiler already
1366	defines this compile variable, you can delete the definition from
1367	the generated Makefile or create a devtools/Site/site.config.m4
1368	file.
1369
1370	It's been tested on Dell Issue 2.2.

1378	Subject:   Notes for DELL SVR4
1379
1380	Eric,
1381
1382	Here are some notes for compiling Sendmail 8.6.4 on DELL SVR4.  I ran
1383	across these things when helping out some people who contacted me by
1384	e-mail.
1385
1386	1) Use gcc 2.4.5 (or later?).  Dell distributes gcc 2.1 with their
1387	   Issue 2.2 Unix.  It is too old, and gives you problems with
1388	   clock.c, because sigset_t won't get defined in <sys/signal.h>.
1389	   This is due to a problematic protection rule in there, and is
1390	   fixed with gcc 2.4.5.
1391
1392	2) If you don't use the new Berkeley DB (-DNEWDB), then you need
1393	   to add "-lc -lucb" to the libraries to link with.  This is because
1394	   the -ldbm distributed by Dell needs the bcopy, bcmp and bzero
1395	   functions.  It is important that you specify both libraries in
1396	   the given order to be sure you only get the BSTRING functions
1397	   from the UCB library (and not the signal routines etc.).
1398
1399	3) Don't leave out "-lelf" even if compiling with "-lc -lucb".
1400	   The UCB library also has another copy of the nlist routines,
1401	   but we do want the ones from "-lelf".
1402
1403	If anyone needs a compiled gcc 2.4.5 and/or a ported DB library, they
1404	can use anonymous ftp to fetch them from lut.fi in the /kim directory.
1405	They are copies of what I use on grendel.lut.fi, and offering them
1406	does not imply that I would also support them.  I have sent the DB
1407	port for SVR4 back to Keith Bostic for inclusion in the official
1408	distribution, but I haven't heard anything from him as of today.
1409
1410	- gcc-2.4.5-svr4.tar.gz	(gcc 2.4.5 and the corresponding libg++)
1411	- db-1.72.tar.gz	(with source, objects and a installed copy)
1412
1413	Cheers
1414	+ Kim

1420ConvexOS 10.1 and below
1421	In order to use the name server, you must create the file
1422	/etc/use_nameserver.  If this file does not exist, the call
1423	to res_init() will fail and you will have absolutely no
1424	access to DNS, including MX records.
1425
1426Amdahl UTS 2.1.5
1427	In order to get UTS to work, you will have to port BIND 4.9.
1428	The vendor's BIND is reported to be ``totally inadequate.''
1429	See sendmail/contrib/AmdahlUTS.patch for the patches necessary
1430	to get BIND 4.9 compiled for UTS.
1431
1432UnixWare
1433	According to Alexander Kolbasov <sasha@unitech.gamma.ru>,
1434	the m4 on UnixWare 2.0 (still in Beta) will core dump on the
1435	config files.  GNU m4 and the m4 from UnixWare 1.x both work.
1436
1437	According to Larry Rosenman <ler@lerami.lerctr.org>:
1438
1439		UnixWare 2.1.[23]'s m4 chokes (not obviously) when
1440		processing the 8.9.0 cf files.
1441
1442		I had a LOCAL_RULE_0 that wound up AFTER the
1443		SBasic_check_rcpt rules using the SCO supplied M4.
1444		GNU M4 works fine.
1445
1446UNICOS 8.0.3.4
1447	Some people have reported that the -O flag on UNICOS can cause
1448	problems.  You may want to turn this off if you have problems
1449	running sendmail.  Reported by Jerry G. DeLapp <jgd@acl.lanl.gov>.
1450
1451GNU getopt
1452	I'm told that GNU getopt has a problem in that it gets confused
1453	by the double call.  Use the version in conf.c instead.
1454
1455BIND 4.9.2 and Ultrix
1456	If you are running on Ultrix, be sure you read conf/Info.Ultrix
1457	in the BIND distribution very carefully -- there is information
1458	in there that you need to know in order to avoid errors of the
1459	form:
1460
1461		/lib/libc.a(gethostent.o): sethostent: multiply defined
1462		/lib/libc.a(gethostent.o): endhostent: multiply defined
1463		/lib/libc.a(gethostent.o): gethostbyname: multiply defined
1464		/lib/libc.a(gethostent.o): gethostbyaddr: multiply defined
1465
1466	during the link stage.
1467
1468BIND 8.X
1469	BIND 8.X returns HOST_NOT_FOUND instead of TRY_AGAIN on temporary
1470	DNS failures when trying to find the hostname associated with an IP
1471	address (gethostbyaddr()).  This can cause problems as
1472	$&{client_name} based lookups in class R ($=R) and the access
1473	database won't succeed.
1474
1475	This will be fixed in BIND 8.2.1.  For earlier versions, this can
1476	be fixed by making "dns" the last name service queried for host
1477	resolution in /etc/irs.conf:
1478
1479		hosts local continue
1480		hosts dns
1481
1482strtoul
1483	Some compilers (notably gcc) claim to be ANSI C but do not
1484	include the ANSI-required routine "strtoul".  If your compiler
1485	has this problem, you will get an error in srvrsmtp.c on the
1486	code:
1487
1488	  # ifdef defined(__STDC__) && !defined(BROKEN_ANSI_LIBRARY)
1489			e->e_msgsize = strtoul(vp, (char **) NULL, 10);
1490	  # else
1491			e->e_msgsize = strtol(vp, (char **) NULL, 10);
1492	  # endif
1493
1494	You can use -DBROKEN_ANSI_LIBRARY to get around this problem.

1496Listproc 6.0c
1497	Date: 23 Sep 1995 23:56:07 GMT
1498	Message-ID: <95925101334.~INN-AUMa00187.comp-news@dl.ac.uk>
1499	From: alansz@mellers1.psych.berkeley.edu (Alan Schwartz)
1500	Subject: Listproc 6.0c + Sendmail 8.7 [Helpful hint]
1501
1502	Just upgraded to sendmail 8.7, and discovered that listproc 6.0c
1503	breaks, because it, by default, sends a blank "HELO" rather than
1504	a "HELO hostname" when using the 'system' or 'telnet' mailmethod.
1505
1506	The fix is to include -DZMAILER in the compilation, which will
1507	cause it to use "HELO hostname" (which Z-mail apparently requires
1508	as well. :)
1509
1510OpenSSL
1511	OpenSSL versions prior to 0.9.6 use a macro named Free which
1512	conflicts with existing macro names on some platforms, such as
1513	AIX.
1514	Do not use 0.9.3, but OpenSSL 0.9.5a or later if compatible with
1515	0.9.5a.
1516
1517sfio
1518	You may run into problems if you use sfio2000 (the body of a
1519	message is lost).  Use sfio1999 instead; however, it also has
1520	a bug that can cause sendmail to fail.  A patch has been provided
1521	by Petr Lampa of Brno University of Technology, which is given here:
1522

1542	map.
1543
1544TCP Wrappers
1545	If you are using -DTCPWRAPPERS to get TCP Wrappers support you will
1546	also need to install libwrap.a and modify your site.config.m4 file
1547	or the generated Makefile to include -lwrap in the LIBS line
1548	(make sure that INCDIRS and LIBDIRS point to where the tcpd.h and
1549	libwrap.a can be found).
1550
1551	TCP Wrappers is available at ftp://ftp.porcupine.org/pub/security/.
1552
1553	If you have alternate MX sites for your site, be sure that all of
1554	your MX sites reject the same set of hosts.  If not, a bad guy whom
1555	you reject will connect to your site, fail, and move on to the next
1556	MX site, which will accept the mail for you and forward it on to you.
1557
1558Regular Expressions (MAP_REGEX)
1559	If sendmail linking fails with:
1560
1561		undefined reference to 'regcomp'
1562
1563	or sendmail gives an error about a regular expression with:
1564
1565		pattern-compile-error: : Operation not applicable
1566
1567	Your libc does not include a running version of POSIX-regex. Use
1568	librx or regex.o from the GNU Free Software Foundation,
1569	ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/rx-?.?.tar.gz or
1570	ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/regex-?.?.tar.gz.
1571	You can also use the regex-lib by Henry Spencer,
1572	ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/languages/C/spencer/regex.shar.gz
1573	Make sure, your compiler reads regex.h from the distribution,
1574	not from /usr/include, otherwise sendmail will dump a core.
1575

1578| MANUAL PAGES |
1579+--------------+
1580
1581The manual pages have been written against the -man macros, and
1582should format correctly with any reasonable *roff.
1583
1584+-----------------+
1585| DEBUGGING HOOKS |
1586+-----------------+
1587
1588As of 8.6.5, sendmail daemons will catch a SIGUSR1 signal and log
1589some debugging output (logged at LOG_DEBUG severity).  The
1590information dumped is:
1591
1592 * The value of the $j macro.
1593 * A warning if $j is not in the set $=w.
1594 * A list of the open file descriptors.
1595 * The contents of the connection cache.
1596 * If ruleset 89 is defined, it is evaluated and the results printed.
1597
1598This allows you to get information regarding the runtime state of the
1599daemon on the fly.  This should not be done too frequently, since
1600the process of rewriting may lose memory which will not be recovered.
1601Also, ruleset 89 may call non-reentrant routines, so there is a small
1602non-zero probability that this will cause other problems.  It is
1603really only for debugging serious problems.
1604
1605A typical formulation of ruleset 89 would be:
1606
1607	R$*		$@ $>0 some test address
