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+----------------------+ 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. 462NEEDSGETIPNODE Set this if your system supports IPv6 but doesn't include 463 the getipnodeby{name,addr}() functions. Set automatically 464 for Linux's glibc. 465 466+-----------------------+ 467| COMPILE-TIME FEATURES | 468+-----------------------+ 469 470There are a bunch of features that you can decide to compile in, such 471as selecting various database packages and special protocol support. 472Several are assumed based on other compilation flags -- if you want to 473"un-assume" something, you probably need to edit conf.h. Compilation 474flags that add support for special features include: 475 476NDBM Include support for "new" DBM library for aliases and maps. 477 Normally defined in the Makefile. 478NEWDB Include support for Berkeley DB package (hash & btree) 479 for aliases and maps. Normally defined in the Makefile. 480 If the version of NEWDB you have is the old one that does 481 not include the "fd" call (this call was added in version 482 1.5 of the Berkeley DB code), you must upgrade to the 483 current version of Berkeley DB. 484NIS Define this to get NIS (YP) support for aliases and maps. 485 Normally defined in the Makefile. 486NISPLUS Define this to get NIS+ support for aliases and maps. 487 Normally defined in the Makefile. 488HESIOD Define this to get Hesiod support for aliases and maps. 489 Normally defined in the Makefile. 490NETINFO Define this to get NeXT NetInfo support for aliases and maps. 491 Normally defined in the Makefile. 492LDAPMAP Define this to get LDAP support for maps. 493PH_MAP Define this to get PH support for maps. 494MAP_NSD Define this to get nsd support for maps. 495USERDB Define this to 1 to include support for the User Information 496 Database. Implied by NEWDB or HESIOD. You can use 497 -DUSERDB=0 to explicitly turn it off. 498IDENTPROTO Define this as 1 to get IDENT (RFC 1413) protocol support. 499 This is assumed unless you are running on Ultrix or 500 HP-UX, both of which have a problem in the UDP 501 implementation. You can define it to be 0 to explicitly 502 turn off IDENT protocol support. If defined off, the code 503 is actually still compiled in, but it defaults off; you 504 can turn it on by setting the IDENT timeout in the 505 configuration file. 506IP_SRCROUTE Define this to 1 to get IP source routing information 507 displayed in the Received: header. This is assumed on 508 most systems, but some (e.g., Ultrix) apparently have a 509 broken version of getsockopt that doesn't properly 510 support the IP_OPTIONS call. You probably want this if 511 your OS can cope with it. Symptoms of failure will be that 512 it won't compile properly (that is, no support for fetching 513 IP_OPTIONs), or it compiles but source-routed TCP connections 514 either refuse to open or open and hang for no apparent reason. 515 Ultrix and AIX3 are known to fail this way. 516LOG Set this to get syslog(3) support. Defined by default 517 in conf.h. You want this if at all possible. 518NETINET Set this to get TCP/IP support. Defined by default 519 in conf.h. You probably want this. 520NETINET6 Set this to get IPv6 support. Other configuration may 521 be needed in conf.h for your particular operating system. 522 Also, DaemonPortOptions must be set appropriately for 523 sendmail to accept IPv6 connections. 524NETISO Define this to get ISO networking support. 525NETUNIX Define this to get Unix domain networking support. Defined 526 by default. A few bizarre systems (SCO, ISC, Altos) don't 527 support this networking domain. 528NETNS Define this to get NS networking support. 529NETX25 Define this to get X.25 networking support. 530SMTP Define this to get the SMTP code. Implied by NETINET 531 or NETISO. 532NAMED_BIND If non-zero, include DNS (name daemon) support, including 533 MX support. The specs say you must use this if you run 534 SMTP. You don't have to be running a name server daemon 535 on your machine to need this -- any use of the DNS resolver, 536 including remote access to another machine, requires this 537 option. Defined by default in conf.h. Define it to zero 538 ONLY on machines that do not use DNS in any way. 539QUEUE Define this to get queueing code. Implied by NETINET 540 or NETISO; required by SMTP. This gives you other good 541 stuff -- it should be on. 542DAEMON Define this to get general network support. Implied by 543 NETINET or NETISO. Defined by default in conf.h. You 544 almost certainly want it on. 545MATCHGECOS Permit fuzzy matching of user names against the full 546 name (GECOS) field in the /etc/passwd file. This should 547 probably be on, since you can disable it from the config 548 file if you want to. Defined by default in conf.h. 549MIME8TO7 If non-zero, include 8 to 7 bit MIME conversions. This 550 also controls advertisement of 8BITMIME in the ESMTP 551 startup dialogue. 552MIME7TO8 If non-zero, include 7 to 8 bit MIME conversions. 553HES_GETMAILHOST Define this to 1 if you are using Hesiod with the 554 hes_getmailhost() routine. This is included with the MIT 555 Hesiod distribution, but not with the DEC Hesiod distribution. 556XDEBUG Do additional internal checking. These don't cost too 557 much; you might as well leave this on. 558TCPWRAPPERS Turns on support for the TCP wrappers library (-lwrap). 559 See below for further information. 560SECUREWARE Enable calls to the SecureWare luid enabling/changing routines. 561 SecureWare is a C2 security package added to several UNIX's 562 (notably ConvexOS) to get a C2 Secure system. This 563 option causes mail delivery to be done with the luid of the 564 recipient. 565SHARE_V1 Support for the fair share scheduler, version 1. Setting to 566 1 causes final delivery to be done using the recipients 567 resource limitations. So far as I know, this is only 568 supported on ConvexOS. 569SASL Enables SMTP AUTH (RFC 2554). This requires the Cyrus SASL 570 library (ftp://ftp.andrew.cmu.edu/pub/cyrus-mail/). Please 571 install at least version 1.5.13. See below for further 572 information: SASL COMPILATION AND CONFIGURATION. If your 573 SASL library is older than 1.5.10, you have to set this 574 to its version number using a simple conversion: a.b.c 575 -> c + b*100 + a*10000, e.g. for 1.5.9 define SASL=10509. 576 Note: Using an older version than 1.5.5 of Cyrus SASL is 577 not supported. Starting with version 1.5.10, setting SASL=1 578 is sufficient. Any value other than 1 (or 0) will be 579 compared with the actual version found and if there is a 580 mismatch, compilation will fail. 581EGD Define this if your system has EGD installed, see 582 http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/ . It should be used to 583 seed the PRNG for STARTTLS if HASURANDOMDEV is not defined. 584STARTTLS Enables SMTP STARTTLS (RFC 2487). This requires OpenSSL 585 (http://www.OpenSSL.org/) and sfio (see below). 586 Use OpenSSL 0.9.5a or later (if compatible with this 587 version), do not use 0.9.3. 588 See STARTTLS COMPILATION AND CONFIGURATION for further 589 information. 590TLS_NO_RSA Turn off support for RSA algorithms in STARTTLS. 591SFIO Uses sfio instead of stdio. sfio is available from AT&T 592 (http://www.research.att.com/sw/tools/sfio/). If this 593 compile flag is set, confSTDIO_TYPE must be set to portable. 594 This compile flag is necessary for STARTTLS; it also 595 enables the security layer of SASL. The sfio include file 596 stdio.h must be installed in a subdirectory called sfio, 597 i.e., if you install sfio in /usr/local, stdio.h should 598 be in /usr/local/include/sfio, and libsfio.a should be in 599 /usr/local/lib. Notice: read the sfio section in 600 OPERATING SYSTEM AND COMPILE QUIRKS. 601 602 603+---------------------+ 604| DNS/RESOLVER ISSUES | 605+---------------------+ 606 607Many systems have old versions of the resolver library. At a minimum, 608you should be running BIND 4.8.3; older versions may compile, but they 609have known bugs that should give you pause. 610 611Common problems in old versions include "undefined" errors for 612dn_skipname. 613 614Some people have had a problem with BIND 4.9; it uses some routines 615that it expects to be externally defined such as strerror(). It may 616help to link with "-l44bsd" to solve this problem. This has apparently 617been fixed in later versions of BIND, starting around 4.9.3. In other 618words, if you use 4.9.0 through 4.9.2, you need -l44bsd; for earlier or 619later versions, you do not. 620 621!PLEASE! be sure to link with the same version of the resolver as 622the header files you used -- some people have used the 4.9 headers 623and linked with BIND 4.8 or vice versa, and it doesn't work. 624Unfortunately, it doesn't fail in an obvious way -- things just 625subtly don't work. 626 627WILDCARD MX RECORDS ARE A BAD IDEA! The only situation in which they 628work reliably is if you have two versions of DNS, one in the real world 629which has a wildcard pointing to your firewall, and a completely 630different version of the database internally that does not include 631wildcard MX records that match your domain. ANYTHING ELSE WILL GIVE 632YOU HEADACHES! 633 634When attempting to canonify a hostname, some broken name servers will 635return SERVFAIL (a temporary failure) on T_AAAA (IPv6) lookups. If you 636want to excuse this behavior, compile sendmail with 637-D_FFR_WORKAROUND_BROKEN_NAMESERVERS and add WorkAroundBrokenAAAA to your 638ResolverOptions setting. However, instead, we recommend catching the 639problem and reporting it to the name server administrator so we can rid the 640world of broken name servers. 641 642+----------------------------------------+ 643| STARTTLS COMPILATION AND CONFIGURATION | 644+----------------------------------------+ 645 646Please read the docs accompanying the OpenSSL library and sfio. 647You have to compile and install both libraries before you can compile 648sendmail. See devtools/README how to set the correct compile time 649parameters; you should at least set the following variables: 650 651define(`confSTDIO_TYPE', `portable') 652APPENDDEF(`confENVDEF', `-DSFIO') 653APPENDDEF(`confLIBS', `-lsfio') 654APPENDDEF(`conf_sendmail_ENVDEF', `-DSTARTTLS') 655APPENDDEF(`conf_sendmail_LIBS', `-lssl -lcrypto') 656 657Configuration information can be found in doc/op/op.me (required 658certificates) and cf/README (how to tell sendmail about certificates). 659 660To perform an initial test, connect to your sendmail daemon 661(telnet localhost 25) and issue a EHLO localhost and see whether 662250-STARTTLS 663is in the response. If it isn't, run the daemon with 664-O LogLevel=14 665and try again. Then take a look at the logfile and see whether 666there are any problems listed about permissions (unsafe files) 667or the validity of X.509 certificates. 668 669Note: sfio must be used in all libraries with which sendmail exchanges 670file pointers. That is, libsmutil must be compiled with sfio, which 671is accomplished by the above config parameters. Another example is 672PH map support. This does not apply to the usual libraries, e.g., 673OpenSSL, Berkeley DB, Cyrus SASL. 674 675Further information can be found via: 676http://www.sendmail.org/tips/ 677 678 679+------------------------------------+ 680| SASL COMPILATION AND CONFIGURATION | 681+------------------------------------+ 682 683Please read the docs accompanying the library (INSTALL and README). 684If you use Berkeley DB for Cyrus SASL then you must compile sendmail 685with the same version of Berkeley DB. 686 687You have to select and install authentication mechanisms and tell 688sendmail where to find the sasl library and the include files (see 689devtools/README for the parameters to set). Setup the required 690users and passwords as explained in the SASL documentation. See 691also cf/README for authentication related options (esp. DefaultAuthInfo 692if you want authentication between MTAs). 693 694To perform an initial test, connect to your sendmail daemon 695(telnet localhost 25) and issue a EHLO localhost and see whether 696250-AUTH .... 697is in the response. If it isn't, run the daemon with 698-O LogLevel=14 699and try again. Then take a look at the logfile and see whether 700there are any security related problems listed (unsafe files). 701 702Further information can be found via: 703http://www.sendmail.org/tips/ 704 705 706+-------------------------------------+ 707| OPERATING SYSTEM AND COMPILE QUIRKS | 708+-------------------------------------+ 709 710GCC problems 711 ***************************************************************** 712 ** IMPORTANT: DO NOT USE OPTIMIZATION (``-O'') IF YOU ARE ** 713 ** RUNNING GCC 2.4.x or 2.5.x. THERE IS A BUG IN THE GCC ** 714 ** OPTIMIZER THAT CAUSES SENDMAIL COMPILES TO FAIL MISERABLY. ** 715 ***************************************************************** 716 717 Jim Wilson of Cygnus believes he has found the problem -- it will 718 probably be fixed in GCC 2.5.6 -- but until this is verified, be 719 very suspicious of gcc -O. This problem is reported to have been 720 fixed in gcc 2.6. 721 722 A bug in gcc 2.5.5 caused problems compiling sendmail 8.6.5 with 723 optimization on a Sparc. If you are using gcc 2.5.5, youi should 724 upgrade to the latest version of gcc. 725 726 Apparently GCC 2.7.0 on the Pentium processor has optimization 727 problems. I recommend against using -O on that architecture. This 728 has been seen on FreeBSD 2.0.5 RELEASE. 729 730 Solaris 2.X users should use version 2.7.2.3 over 2.7.2. 731 732 We have been told there are problems with gcc 2.8.0. If you are 733 using this version, you should upgrade to 2.8.1 or later. 734 735GDBM GDBM does not work with sendmail 8.8 because the additional 736 security checks and file locking cause problems. Unfortunately, 737 gdbm does not provide a compile flag in its version of ndbm.h so 738 the code can adapt. Until the GDBM authors can fix these problems, 739 GDBM will not be supported. Please use Berkeley DB instead. 740 741Configuration file location 742 Up to 8.6, sendmail tried to find the sendmail.cf file in the same 743 place as the vendors had put it, even when this was obviously 744 stupid. As of 8.7, sendmail ALWAYS looks for /etc/sendmail.cf. 745 Beginning with 8.10, sendmail uses /etc/mail/sendmail.cf. 746 You can get sendmail to use the stupid vendor .cf location by 747 adding -DUSE_VENDOR_CF_PATH during compilation, but this may break 748 support programs and scripts that need to find sendmail.cf. You 749 are STRONGLY urged to use symbolic links if you want to use the 750 vendor location rather than changing the location in the sendmail 751 binary. 752 753 NETINFO systems use NETINFO to determine the location of 754 sendmail.cf. The full path to sendmail.cf is stored as the value of 755 the "sendmail.cf" property in the "/locations/sendmail" 756 subdirectory of NETINFO. Set the value of this property to 757 "/etc/mail/sendmail.cf" (without the quotes) to use this new 758 default location for Sendmail 8.10.0 and higher. 759 760ControlSocket permissions 761 Paraphrased from BIND 8.2.1's README: 762 763 Solaris and other pre-4.4BSD kernels do not respect ownership or 764 protections on UNIX-domain sockets. The short term fix for this is to 765 override the default path and put such control sockets into root- 766 owned directories which do not permit non-root to r/w/x through them. 767 The long term fix is for all kernels to upgrade to 4.4BSD semantics. 768 769SunOS 4.x (Solaris 1.x) 770 You may have to use -lresolv on SunOS. However, beware that 771 this links in a new version of gethostbyname that does not 772 understand NIS, so you must have all of your hosts in DNS. 773 774 Some people have reported problems with the SunOS version of 775 -lresolv and/or in.named, and suggest that you get a newer 776 version. The symptoms are delays when you connect to the 777 SMTP server on a SunOS machine or having your domain added to 778 addresses inappropriately. There is a version of BIND 779 version 4.9 on gatekeeper.DEC.COM in pub/BSD/bind/4.9. 780 781 There is substantial disagreement about whether you can make 782 this work with resolv+, which allows you to specify a search-path 783 of services. Some people report that it works fine, others 784 claim it doesn't work at all (including causing sendmail to 785 drop core when it tries to do multiple resolv+ lookups for a 786 single job). I haven't tried resolv+, as we use DNS exclusively. 787 788 Should you want to try resolv+, it is on ftp.uu.net in 789 /networking/ip/dns. 790 791 Apparently getservbyname() can fail under moderate to high 792 load under some circumstances. This will exhibit itself as 793 the message ``554 makeconnection: service "smtp" unknown''. 794 The problem has been traced to one or more blank lines in 795 /etc/services on the NIS server machine. Delete these 796 and it should work. This info is thanks to Brian Bartholomew 797 <bb@math.ufl.edu> of I-Kinetics, Inc. 798 799 NOTE: The SunOS 4.X linker uses library paths specified during 800 compilation using -L for run-time shared library searches. 801 Therefore, it is vital that relative and unsafe directory paths not 802 be used when compiling sendmail. 803 804SunOS 4.0.2 (Sun 386i) 805 Date: Fri, 25 Aug 1995 11:13:58 +0200 (MET DST) 806 From: teus@oce.nl 807 808 Sendmail 8.7.Beta.12 compiles and runs nearly out of the box with the 809 following changes: 810 * Don't use /usr/5bin in your PATH, but make /usr/5bin/uname 811 available as "uname" command. 812 * Use the defines "-DBSD4_3 -DNAMED_BIND=0" in 813 devtools/OS/SunOS.4.0, which is selected via the "uname" command. 814 I recommend to make available the db-library on the system first 815 (and change the Makefile to use this library). 816 Note that the sendmail.cf and aliases files are found in /etc. 817 818SunOS 4.1.3, 4.1.3_U1 819 Sendmail causes crashes on SunOS 4.1.3 and 4.1.3_U1. According 820 to Sun bug number 1077939: 821 822 If an application does a getsockopt() on a SOCK_STREAM (TCP) socket 823 after the other side of the connection has sent a TCP RESET for 824 the stream, the kernel gets a Bus Trap in the tcp_ctloutput() or 825 ip_ctloutput() routine. 826 827 For 4.1.3, this is fixed in patch 100584-08, available on the 828 Sunsolve 2.7.1 or later CDs. For 4.1.3_U1, this was fixed in patch 829 101790-01 (SunOS 4.1.3_U1: TCP socket and reset problems), later 830 obsoleted by patch 102010-05. 831 832 Sun patch 100584-08 is not currently publicly available on their 833 ftp site but a user has reported it can be found at other sites 834 using a web search engine. 835 836Solaris 2.x (SunOS 5.x) 837 To compile for Solaris, the Makefile built by Build must 838 include a SOLARIS definition which reflects the Solaris version 839 (i.e. -DSOLARIS=20400 for 2.4 or -DSOLARIS=20501 for 2.5.1). 840 If you are using gcc, make sure -I/usr/include is not used (or 841 it might complain about TopFrame). If you are using Sun's cc, 842 make sure /opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc is used instead of /usr/ucb/cc 843 (or it might complain about tm_zone). 844 845 The Solaris "syslog" function is apparently limited to something 846 about 90 characters because of a kernel limitation. If you have 847 source code, you can probably up this number. You can get patches 848 that fix this problem: the patch ids are: 849 850 Solaris 2.1 100834 851 Solaris 2.2 100999 852 Solaris 2.3 101318 853 854 Be sure you have the appropriate patch installed or you won't 855 see system logging. 856 857Solaris 2.4 (SunOS 5.4) 858 If you include /usr/lib at the end of your LD_LIBRARY_PATH you run 859 the risk of getting the wrong libraries under some circumstances. 860 This is because of a new feature in Solaris 2.4, described by 861 Rod.Evans@Eng.Sun.COM: 862 863 >> Prior to SunOS 5.4, any LD_LIBRARY_PATH setting was ignored by the 864 >> runtime linker if the application was setxid (secure), thus your 865 >> applications search path would be: 866 >> 867 >> /usr/local/lib LD_LIBRARY_PATH component - IGNORED 868 >> /usr/lib LD_LIBRARY_PATH component - IGNORED 869 >> /usr/local/lib RPATH - honored 870 >> /usr/lib RPATH - honored 871 >> 872 >> the effect is that path 3 would be the first used, and this would 873 >> satisfy your resolv.so lookup. 874 >> 875 >> In SunOS 5.4 we made the LD_LIBRARY_PATH a little more flexible. 876 >> People who developed setxid applications wanted to be able to alter 877 >> the library search path to some degree to allow for their own 878 >> testing and debugging mechanisms. It was decided that the only 879 >> secure way to do this was to allow a `trusted' path to be used in 880 >> LD_LIBRARY_PATH. The only trusted directory we presently define 881 >> is /usr/lib.

This change was made as part of 1155380 - after a 885 >> *huge* amount of discussion regarding the security aspect of things. 886 >> 887 >> So, in SunOS 5.4 your applications search path would be: 888 >> 889 >> /usr/local/lib from LD_LIBRARY_PATH - IGNORED (untrustworthy) 890 >> /usr/lib from LD_LIBRARY_PATH - honored (trustworthy) 891 >> /usr/local/lib from RPATH - honored 892 >> /usr/lib from RPATH - honored 893 >> 894 >> here, path 2 would be the first used. 895 896Solaris 2.5.1 (SunOS 5.5.1) and 2.6 (SunOS 5.6) 897 Apparently Solaris 2.5.1 patch 103663-01 installs a new 898 /usr/include/resolv.h file that defines the __P macro without 899 checking to see if it is already defined. This new resolv.h is also 900 included in the Solaris 2.6 distribution. This causes compile 901 warnings such as: 902 903 In file included from daemon.c:51: 904 /usr/include/resolv.h:208: warning: `__P' redefined 905 cdefs.h:58: warning: this is the location of the previous definition 906 907 These warnings can be safely ignored or you can create a resolv.h 908 file in the obj.SunOS.5.5.1.* or obj.SunOS.5.6.* directory that reads: 909 910 #undef __P 911 #include "/usr/include/resolv.h" 912 913 Sun is aware of the problem (Sun bug ID 4081053) and it will be fixed 914 in Solaris 2.7. 915 916Solaris 7 (SunOS 5.7) 917 Solaris 7 includes LDAP libraries but the implementation was 918 lacking a few things. The following settings can be placed in 919 devtools/Site/site.SunOS.5.7.m4 if you plan on using those 920 libraries. 921 922 APPENDDEF(`confMAPDEF', `-DLDAPMAP') 923 APPENDDEF(`confENVDEF', `-DLDAP_VERSION_MAX=3') 924 APPENDDEF(`confLIBS', `-lldap') 925 926 Also, Sun's patch 107555 is needed to prevent a crash in the call 927 to ldap_set_option for LDAP_OPT_REFERRALS in ldapmap_setopts if 928 LDAP support is compiled in sendmail. 929 930Solaris 931 If you are using dns for hostname resolution on Solaris, make sure 932 that the 'dns' entry is last on the hosts line in 933 '/etc/nsswitch.conf'. For example, use: 934 935 hosts: nisplus files dns 936 937 Do not use: 938 939 host: nisplus dns [NOTFOUND=return] files 940 941 Note that 'nisplus' above is an illustration. The same comment 942 applies no matter what naming services you are using. If you have 943 anything other than dns last, even after "[NOTFOUND=return]", 944 sendmail may not be able to determine whether an error was 945 temporary or permanent. The error returned by the solaris 946 gethostbyname() is the error for the last lookup used, and other 947 naming services do not have the same concept of temporary failure. 948 949Ultrix 950 By default, the IDENT protocol is turned off on Ultrix. If you 951 are running Ultrix 4.4 or later, or if you have included patch 952 CXO-8919 for Ultrix 4.2 or 4.3 to fix the TCP problem, you can turn 953 IDENT on in the configuration file by setting the "ident" timeout. 954 955 The Ultrix 4.5 Y2K patch (ULTV45-022-1) has changed the resolver 956 included in libc.a. Unfortunately, the __RES symbol hasn't changed 957 and therefore, sendmail can no longer automatically detect the 958 newer version. If you get a compiler error: 959 960 /lib/libc.a(gethostent.o): local_hostname_length: multiply defined 961 962 Then rebuild with this in devtools/Site/site.ULTRIX.m4: 963 964 APPENDDEF(`conf_sendmail_ENVDEF', `-DNEEDLOCAL_HOSTNAME_LENGTH=0') 965 966Digital UNIX (formerly DEC OSF/1) 967 If you are compiling on OSF/1 (DEC Alpha), you must use 968 -L/usr/shlib (otherwise it core dumps on startup). You may also 969 need -mld to get the nlist() function, although some versions 970 apparently don't need this. 971 972 Also, the enclosed makefile removed /usr/sbin/smtpd; if you need 973 it, just create the link to the sendmail binary. 974 975 On DEC OSF/1 3.2 or earlier, the MatchGECOS option doesn't work 976 properly due to a bug in the getpw* routines. If you want to use 977 this, use -DDEC_OSF_BROKEN_GETPWENT=1. The problem is fixed in 3.2C. 978 979 Digital's mail delivery agent, /bin/mail (aka /bin/binmail), will 980 only preserve the envelope sender in the "From " header if 981 DefaultUserID is set to daemon. Setting this to mailnull will 982 cause all mail to have the header "From mailnull ...". To use 983 a different DefaultUserID, you will need to use a different mail 984 delivery agent (such as mail.local found in the sendmail 985 distribution). 986 987 On Digital UNIX 4.0 and later, Berkeley DB 1.85 is included with the 988 operating system and already has the ndbm.o module removed. However, 989 Digital has modified the original Berkeley DB db.h include file. 990 This results in the following warning while compiling map.c and udb.c: 991 992 cc: Warning: /usr/include/db.h, line 74: The redefinition of the macro 993 "__signed" conflicts with a current definition because the replacement 994 lists differ. The redefinition is now in effect. 995 #define __signed signed 996 ------------------------^ 997 998 This warning can be ignored. 999 1000 Digital UNIX's linker checks /usr/ccs/lib/ before /usr/lib/. 1001 If you have installed a new version of BIND in /usr/include 1002 and /usr/lib, you will experience difficulties as Digital ships 1003 libresolv.a in /usr/ccs/lib/ as well. Be sure to replace both 1004 copies of libresolv.a. 1005 1006IRIX 1007 The header files on SGI IRIX are completely prototyped, and as 1008 a result you can sometimes get some warning messages during 1009 compilation. These can be ignored. There are two errors in 1010 deliver only if you are using gcc, both of the form ``warning: 1011 passing arg N of `execve' from incompatible pointer type''. 1012 Also, if you compile with -DNIS, you will get a complaint 1013 about a declaration of struct dom_binding in a prototype 1014 when compiling map.c; this is not important because the 1015 function being prototyped is not used in that file. 1016 1017 In order to compile sendmail you will have had to install 1018 the developers' option in order to get the necessary include 1019 files. 1020 1021 If you compile with -lmalloc (the fast memory allocator), you may 1022 get warning messages such as the following: 1023 1024 ld32: WARNING 85: definition of _calloc in /usr/lib32/libmalloc.so 1025 preempts that definition in /usr/lib32/mips3/libc.so. 1026 ld32: WARNING 85: definition of _malloc in /usr/lib32/libmalloc.so 1027 preempts that definition in /usr/lib32/mips3/libc.so. 1028 ld32: WARNING 85: definition of _realloc in /usr/lib32/libmalloc.so 1029 preempts that definition in /usr/lib32/mips3/libc.so. 1030 ld32: WARNING 85: definition of _free in /usr/lib32/libmalloc.so 1031 preempts that definition in /usr/lib32/mips3/libc.so. 1032 ld32: WARNING 85: definition of _cfree in /usr/lib32/libmalloc.so 1033 preempts that definition in /usr/lib32/mips3/libc.so. 1034 1035 These are unavoidable and innocuous -- just ignore them. 1036 1037 According to Dave Sill <de5@ornl.gov>, there is a version of the 1038 Berkeley DB library patched to run on Irix 6.2 available from 1039 http://reality.sgi.com/ariel/freeware/#db . 1040 1041IRIX 6.x 1042 If you are using XFS filesystem, avoid using the -32 ABI switch to 1043 the cc compiler if possible. 1044 1045 Broken inet_aton and inet_ntoa on IRIX using gcc: There's 1046 a problem with gcc on IRIX, i.e., gcc can't pass structs 1047 less than 16 bits long unless they are 8 bits; IRIX 6.2 has 1048 some other sized structs. See 1049 http://www.bitmechanic.com/mail-archives/mysql/current/0418.html 1050 1051IRIX 6.4 1052 The IRIX 6.5.4 version of /bin/m4 does not work properly with 1053 sendmail. Either install fw_m4.sw.m4 off the Freeware_May99 CD and 1054 use /usr/freeware/bin/m4 or install and use GNU m4. 1055 1056NeXT or NEXTSTEP 1057 NEXTSTEP 3.3 and earlier ship with the old DBM library. Also, 1058 Berkeley DB does not currently run on NEXTSTEP. 1059 1060 If you are compiling on NEXTSTEP, you will have to create an 1061 empty file "unistd.h" and create a file "dirent.h" containing: 1062 1063 #include <sys/dir.h> 1064 #define dirent direct 1065 1066 (devtools/OS/NeXT should try to do both of these for you.) 1067 1068 Apparently, there is a bug in getservbyname on Nextstep 3.0 1069 that causes it to fail under some circumstances with the 1070 message "SYSERR: service "smtp" unknown" logged. You should 1071 be able to work around this by including the line: 1072 1073 OOPort=25 1074 1075 in your .cf file. 1076 1077BSDI (BSD/386) 1.0, NetBSD 0.9, FreeBSD 1.0 1078 The "m4" from BSDI won't handle the config files properly. 1079 I haven't had a chance to test this myself. 1080 1081 The M4 shipped in FreeBSD and NetBSD 0.9 don't handle the config 1082 files properly. One must use either GNU m4 1.1 or the PD-M4 1083 recently posted in comp.os.386bsd.bugs (and maybe others). 1084 NetBSD-current includes the PD-M4 (as stated in the NetBSD file 1085 CHANGES). 1086 1087 FreeBSD 1.0 RELEASE has uname(2) now. Use -DUSEUNAME in order to 1088 use it (look into devtools/OS/FreeBSD). NetBSD-current may have 1089 it too but it has not been verified. 1090 1091 The latest version of Berkeley DB uses a different naming 1092 scheme than the version that is supplied with your release. This 1093 means you will be able to use the current version of Berkeley DB 1094 with sendmail as long you use the new db.h when compiling 1095 sendmail and link it against the new libdb.a or libdb.so. You 1096 should probably keep the original db.h in /usr/include and the 1097 new db.h in /usr/local/include. 1098 10994.3BSD 1100 If you are running a "virgin" version of 4.3BSD, you'll have 1101 a very old resolver and be missing some header files. The 1102 header files are simple -- create empty versions and everything 1103 will work fine. For the resolver you should really port a new 1104 version (4.8.3 or later) of the resolver; 4.9 is available on 1105 gatekeeper.DEC.COM in pub/BSD/bind/4.9. If you are really 1106 determined to continue to use your old, buggy version (or as 1107 a shortcut to get sendmail working -- I'm sure you have the 1108 best intentions to port a modern version of BIND), you can 1109 copy ../contrib/oldbind.compat.c into sendmail and add the 1110 following to devtools/Site/site.config.m4: 1111 1112 APPENDDEF(`confOBJADD', `oldbind.compat.o') 1113 1114A/UX 1115 Date: Tue, 12 Oct 1993 18:28:28 -0400 (EDT) 1116 From: "Eric C. Hagberg" <hagberg@med.cornell.edu> 1117 Subject: Fix for A/UX ndbm 1118 1119 I guess this isn't really a sendmail bug, however, it is something 1120 that A/UX users should be aware of when compiling sendmail 8.6. 1121 1122 Apparently, the calls that sendmail is using to the ndbm routines 1123 in A/UX 3.0.x contain calls to "broken" routines, in that the 1124 aliases database will break when it gets "just a little big" 1125 (sorry I don't have exact numbers here, but it broke somewhere 1126 around 20-25 aliases for me.), making all aliases non-functional 1127 after exceeding this point. 1128 1129 What I did was to get the gnu-dbm-1.6 package, compile it, and 1130 then re-compile sendmail with "-lgdbm", "-DNDBM", and using the 1131 ndbm.h header file that comes with the gnu-package. This makes 1132 things behave properly. 1133 [NOTE: see comment above about GDBM] 1134 1135 I suppose porting the New Berkeley DB package is another route, 1136 however, I made a quick attempt at it, and found it difficult 1137 (not easy at least); the gnu-dbm package "configured" and 1138 compiled easily. 1139 1140 [NOTE: Berkeley DB version 2.X runs on A/UX and can be used for 1141 database maps.] 1142 1143SCO Unix 1144 From: Thomas Essebier <tom@stallion.oz.au> 1145 Organisation: Stallion Technologies Pty Ltd. 1146 1147 It will probably help those who are trying to configure sendmail 8.6.9 1148 to know that if they are on SCO, they had better set 1149 OI-dnsrch 1150 or they will core dump as soon as they try to use the resolver. 1151 ie. although SCO has _res.dnsrch defined, and is kinda BIND 4.8.3, it 1152 does not inititialise it, nor does it understand 'search' in 1153 /etc/named.boot. 1154 - sigh - 1155 1156 According to SCO, the m4 which ships with UnixWare 2.1.2 is broken. 1157 We recommend installing GNU m4 before attempting to build sendmail. 1158 1159DG/UX 1160 Doug Anderson <dlander@afterlife.ncsc.mil> has successfully run 1161 V8 on the DG/UX 5.4.2 and 5.4R3.x platforms under heavy usage. 1162 Originally, the DG /bin/mail program wasn't compatible with 1163 the V8 sendmail, since the DG /bin/mail requires the environment 1164 variable "_FORCE_MAIL_LOCAL_=yes" be set. Version 8.7 now includes 1165 this in the environment before invoking the local mailer. Some 1166 have used procmail to avoid this problem in the past. It works 1167 but some have experienced file locking problems with their DG/UX 1168 ports of procmail. 1169 1170Apollo DomainOS 1171 If you are compiling on Apollo, you will have to create an empty 1172 file "unistd.h" (for DomainOS 10.3 and earlier) and create a file 1173 "dirent.h" containing: 1174 1175 #include <sys/dir.h> 1176 #define dirent direct 1177 1178 (devtools/OS/DomainOS will attempt to do both of these for you.) 1179 1180HP-UX 8.00 1181 Date: Mon, 24 Jan 1994 13:25:45 +0200 1182 From: Kimmo Suominen <Kimmo.Suominen@lut.fi> 1183 Subject: 8.6.5 w/ HP-UX 8.00 on s300 1184 1185 Just compiled and fought with sendmail 8.6.5 on a HP9000/360 (ie. a 1186 series 300 machine) running HP-UX 8.00. 1187 1188 I was getting segmentation fault when delivering to a local user. 1189 With debugging I saw it was faulting when doing _free@libc... *sigh* 1190 It seems the new implementation of malloc on s300 is buggy as of 8.0, 1191 so I tried out the one in -lmalloc (malloc(3X)). With that it seems 1192 to work just dandy. 1193 1194 When linking, you will get the following error: 1195 1196 ld: multiply defined symbol _freespace in file /usr/lib/libmalloc.a 1197 1198 but you can just ignore it. You might want to add this info to the 1199 README file for the future... 1200 1201Linux 1202 Something broke between versions 0.99.13 and 0.99.14 of Linux: 1203 the flock() system call gives errors. If you are running .14, 1204 you must not use flock. You can do this with -DHASFLOCK=0. 1205 1206 Around the inclusion of bind-4.9.3 & Linux libc-4.6.20, the 1207 initialization of the _res structure changed. If /etc/hosts.conf 1208 was configured as "hosts, bind" the resolver code could return 1209 "Name server failure" errors. This is supposedly fixed in 1210 later versions of libc (>= 4.6.29?), and later versions of 1211 sendmail (> 8.6.10) try to work around the problem. 1212 1213 Some older versions (< 4.6.20?) of the libc/include files conflict 1214 with sendmail's version of cdefs.h. Deleting sendmail's version 1215 on those systems should be non-harmful, and new versions don't care. 1216 1217 Sendmail assumes that libc has snprintf, which has been true since 1218 libc 4.7.0. If you are running an older version, you will need to 1219 use -DHASSNPRINTF=0 in the Makefile. If may be able to use -lbsd 1220 (which includes snprintf) instead of turning this off on versions 1221 of libc between 4.4.4 and 4.7.0 (snprintf improves security, so 1222 you want to use this if at all possible). 1223 1224 NOTE ON LINUX & BIND: By default, the Makefile generated for Linux 1225 includes header files in /usr/local/include and libraries in 1226 /usr/local/lib. If you've installed BIND on your system, the header 1227 files typically end up in the search path and you need to add 1228 "-lresolv" to the LIBS line in your Makefile. Really old versions 1229 may need to include "-l44bsd" as well (particularly if the link phase 1230 complains about missing strcasecmp, strncasecmp or strpbrk). 1231 Complaints about an undefined reference to `__dn_skipname' in 1232 domain.o are a sure sign that you need to add -lresolv to LIBS. 1233 Newer versions of Linux are basically threaded BIND, so you may or 1234 may not see complaints if you accidentally mix BIND 1235 headers/libraries with virginal libc. If you have BIND headers in 1236 /usr/local/include (resolv.h, etc) you *should* be adding -lresolv 1237 to LIBS. Data structures may change and you'd be asking for a 1238 core dump. 1239 1240 A number of problems have been reported regarding the Linux 2.2.0 1241 kernel. So far, these problems have been tracked down to syslog() 1242 and DNS resolution. We believe the problem is with the poll() 1243 implementation in the Linux 2.2.0 kernel and poll()-aware versions 1244 of glib (at least up to 2.0.111). 1245 1246 Some pre-glibc distributions of Linux include a syslog.h that does 1247 not work properly with SFIO. You can fix this by adding 1248 "#include <syslog.h>" to the SFIO version of stdio.h as the very 1249 first line. 1250 1251glibc 1252 glibc 2.2.1 (and possibly other versions) changed the value of 1253 __RES in resolv.h but failed to actually provide the IPv6 API 1254 changes that the change implied. Therefore, compiling with 1255 -DNETINET6 fails. 1256 1257 Workarounds: 1258 1) Compile without -DNETINET6 1259 2) Build against a real BIND 8.2.2 include/lib tree 1260 3) Wait for glibc to fix it 1261 1262AIX 4.X 1263 The AIX 4.X linker uses library paths specified during compilation 1264 using -L for run-time shared library searches. Therefore, it is 1265 vital that relative and unsafe directory paths not be using when 1266 compiling sendmail. Because of this danger, by default, compiles 1267 on AIX use the -blibpath option to limit shared libraries to 1268 /usr/lib and /lib. If you need to allow more directories, such as 1269 /usr/local/lib, modify your devtools/Site/site.AIX.4.2.m4, 1270 site.AIX.4.3.m4, and/or site.AIX.4.x.m4 file(s) and set confLDOPTS 1271 approriately. For example: 1272 1273 define(`confLDOPTS', `-blibpath:/usr/lib:/lib:/usr/local/lib') 1274 1275 Be sure to only add (safe) system directories. 1276 1277 The AIX version of GNU ld also exhibits this problem. If you are 1278 using that version, instead of -blibpath, use its -rpath option. 1279 For example: 1280 1281 gcc -Wl,-rpath /usr/lib -Wl,-rpath /lib -Wl,-rpath /usr/local/lib 1282 1283AIX 4.3.3 1284 From: Valdis.Kletnieks@vt.edu 1285 Date: Sun, 02 Jul 2000 03:58:02 -0400 1286 1287 Under AIX 4.3.3, after applying bos.adt.include 4.3.3.12 to close the 1288 BIND 8.2.2 security holes, you can no longer build with -DNETINET6 1289 because they changed the value of __RES in resolv.h but failed to 1290 actually provide the API changes that the change implied. 1291 1292 Workarounds: 1293 1) Compile without -DNETINET6 1294 2) Build against a real BIND 8.2.2 include/lib tree 1295 3) Wait for IBM to fix it 1296 1297AIX 4.X 1298 The AIX m4 implements a different mechanism for ifdef which is 1299 inconsistent with other versions of m4. Therefore, it will not 1300 work properly with the sendmail Build architecture or m4 1301 configuration method. To work around this problem, please use 1302 GNU m4 from ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/. 1303 1304AIX 3.x 1305 This version of sendmail does not support MB, MG, and MR resource 1306 records, which are supported by AIX sendmail. 1307 1308 Several people have reported that the IBM-supplied named returns 1309 fairly random results -- the named should be replaced. It is not 1310 necessary to replace the resolver, which will simplify installation. 1311 A new BIND resolver can be found at http://www.isc.org/isc/. 1312 1313AIX 3.1.x 1314 The supplied load average code only works correctly for AIX 3.2.x. 1315 For 3.1, use -DLA_TYPE=LA_SUBR and get the latest ``monitor'' 1316 package by Jussi Maki <jmaki@hut.fi> from ftp.funet.fi in the 1317 directory pub/unix/AIX/rs6000/monitor-1.12.tar.Z; use the loadavgd 1318 daemon, and the getloadavg subroutine supplied with that package. 1319 If you don't care about load average throttling, just turn off 1320 load average checking using -DLA_TYPE=LA_ZERO. 1321 1322AIX 2.2.1 1323 Date: Mon Dec 4 14:14:56 CST 1995 1324 From: Mark Whetzel <markw@antimatr.houston.tx.us> 1325 Subject: Porting sendmail 8.7.2 to AIX V2 on the RT. 1326 1327 This version of sendmail does not support MB, MG, and MR resource 1328 records, which are supported by AIX sendmail. 1329 1330 AIX V2 on the RT does not have 'paths.h'. Create a null 1331 file in the 'obj' directory to remove this compile error. 1332 1333 A patch file is needed to get the BSD 'db' library to compile 1334 for AIX/RT. I have sent the necessary updates to the author, 1335 but they may not be immediately available. 1336 [NOTE: Berkeley DB version 2.X runs on AIX/RT.] 1337 1338 The original AIX/RT resolver libraries are very old, and you 1339 should get the latest BIND to replace it. The 4.8.3 version 1340 has been tested, but 4.9.x is out and should work. 1341 1342 To make the load average code work correctly requires an 1343 external routine, as the kernel does not maintain system 1344 load averages, similar to AIX V3.1.x. A reverse port of the 1345 older 1.05 'monitor' load average daemon code written by 1346 Jussi Maki that will work on AIX V2 for the RT is available 1347 by E-mail to Mark Whetzel <markw@antimatr.houston.tx.us>. 1348 That code depends on an external daemon to collect system 1349 load information, and the external routine 'getloadavg', 1350 that will return that information. The 'LA_SUBR' define 1351 will handle this for AIX V2 on the RT. 1352 1353 Note: You will have to change devtools/OS/AIX.2 to correctly 1354 point to the locatons of the updated BIND source tree and 1355 the location of the 'newdb' tree and library location. 1356 You will also have to change devtools/OS/AIX.2 to know 1357 about the location of the 'getloadavg' routine if you use 1358 the LA_SUBR define. 1359 1360RISC/os 1361 RISC/os from MIPS is a merged AT&T/Berkeley system. When you 1362 compile on that platform you will get duplicate definitions 1363 on many files. You can ignore these. 1364 1365System V Release 4 Based Systems 1366 There is a single devtools OS that is intended for all SVR4-based 1367 systems (built from devtools/OS/SVR4). It defines __svr4__, 1368 which is predefined by some compilers. If your compiler already 1369 defines this compile variable, you can delete the definition from 1370 the generated Makefile or create a devtools/Site/site.config.m4 1371 file. 1372 1373 It's been tested on Dell Issue 2.2. 1374 1375DELL SVR4 1376 Date: Mon, 06 Dec 1993 10:42:29 EST 1377 From: "Kimmo Suominen" <kim@grendel.lut.fi> 1378 Message-ID: <2d0352f9.lento29@lento29.UUCP> 1379 To: eric@cs.berkeley.edu 1380 Cc: sendmail@cs.berkeley.edu 1381 Subject: Notes for DELL SVR4 1382 1383 Eric, 1384 1385 Here are some notes for compiling Sendmail 8.6.4 on DELL SVR4. I ran 1386 across these things when helping out some people who contacted me by 1387 e-mail. 1388 1389 1) Use gcc 2.4.5 (or later?). Dell distributes gcc 2.1 with their 1390 Issue 2.2 Unix. It is too old, and gives you problems with 1391 clock.c, because sigset_t won't get defined in <sys/signal.h>. 1392 This is due to a problematic protection rule in there, and is 1393 fixed with gcc 2.4.5. 1394 1395 2) If you don't use the new Berkeley DB (-DNEWDB), then you need 1396 to add "-lc -lucb" to the libraries to link with. This is because 1397 the -ldbm distributed by Dell needs the bcopy, bcmp and bzero 1398 functions. It is important that you specify both libraries in 1399 the given order to be sure you only get the BSTRING functions 1400 from the UCB library (and not the signal routines etc.). 1401 1402 3) Don't leave out "-lelf" even if compiling with "-lc -lucb". 1403 The UCB library also has another copy of the nlist routines, 1404 but we do want the ones from "-lelf". 1405 1406 If anyone needs a compiled gcc 2.4.5 and/or a ported DB library, they 1407 can use anonymous ftp to fetch them from lut.fi in the /kim directory. 1408 They are copies of what I use on grendel.lut.fi, and offering them 1409 does not imply that I would also support them. I have sent the DB 1410 port for SVR4 back to Keith Bostic for inclusion in the official 1411 distribution, but I haven't heard anything from him as of today. 1412 1413 - gcc-2.4.5-svr4.tar.gz (gcc 2.4.5 and the corresponding libg++) 1414 - db-1.72.tar.gz (with source, objects and a installed copy) 1415 1416 Cheers 1417 + Kim 1418 -- 1419 * Kimmo.Suominen@lut.fi * SysVr4 enthusiast at GRENDEL.LUT.FI * 1420 * KIM@FINFILES.BITNET * Postmaster and Hostmaster at LUT.FI * 1421 * + 358 200 865 718 * Unix area moderator at NIC.FUNET.FI * 1422 1423ConvexOS 10.1 and below 1424 In order to use the name server, you must create the file 1425 /etc/use_nameserver. If this file does not exist, the call 1426 to res_init() will fail and you will have absolutely no 1427 access to DNS, including MX records. 1428 1429Amdahl UTS 2.1.5 1430 In order to get UTS to work, you will have to port BIND 4.9. 1431 The vendor's BIND is reported to be ``totally inadequate.'' 1432 See sendmail/contrib/AmdahlUTS.patch for the patches necessary 1433 to get BIND 4.9 compiled for UTS. 1434 1435UnixWare 1436 According to Alexander Kolbasov <sasha@unitech.gamma.ru>, 1437 the m4 on UnixWare 2.0 (still in Beta) will core dump on the 1438 config files. GNU m4 and the m4 from UnixWare 1.x both work. 1439 1440 According to Larry Rosenman <ler@lerami.lerctr.org>: 1441 1442 UnixWare 2.1.[23]'s m4 chokes (not obviously) when 1443 processing the 8.9.0 cf files. 1444 1445 I had a LOCAL_RULE_0 that wound up AFTER the 1446 SBasic_check_rcpt rules using the SCO supplied M4. 1447 GNU M4 works fine. 1448 1449UNICOS 8.0.3.4 1450 Some people have reported that the -O flag on UNICOS can cause 1451 problems. You may want to turn this off if you have problems 1452 running sendmail. Reported by Jerry G.

Use the version in conf.c instead. 1472 1473BIND 4.9.2 and Ultrix 1474 If you are running on Ultrix, be sure you read conf/Info.Ultrix 1475 in the BIND distribution very carefully -- there is information 1476 in there that you need to know in order to avoid errors of the 1477 form: 1478 1479 /lib/libc.a(gethostent.o): sethostent: multiply defined 1480 /lib/libc.a(gethostent.o): endhostent: multiply defined 1481 /lib/libc.a(gethostent.o): gethostbyname: multiply defined 1482 /lib/libc.a(gethostent.o): gethostbyaddr: multiply defined 1483 1484 during the link stage. 1485 1486BIND 8.X 1487 BIND 8.X returns HOST_NOT_FOUND instead of TRY_AGAIN on temporary 1488 DNS failures when trying to find the hostname associated with an IP 1489 address (gethostbyaddr()). This can cause problems as 1490 $&{client_name} based lookups in class R ($=R) and the access 1491 database won't succeed. 1492 1493 This will be fixed in BIND 8.2.1. For earlier versions, this can 1494 be fixed by making "dns" the last name service queried for host 1495 resolution in /etc/irs.conf: 1496 1497 hosts local continue 1498 hosts dns 1499 1500strtoul 1501 Some compilers (notably gcc) claim to be ANSI C but do not 1502 include the ANSI-required routine "strtoul". If your compiler 1503 has this problem, you will get an error in srvrsmtp.c on the 1504 code: 1505 1506 # ifdef defined(__STDC__) && !defined(BROKEN_ANSI_LIBRARY) 1507 e->e_msgsize = strtoul(vp, (char **) NULL, 10); 1508 # else 1509 e->e_msgsize = strtol(vp, (char **) NULL, 10); 1510 # endif 1511 1512 You can use -DBROKEN_ANSI_LIBRARY to get around this problem. 1513 1514Listproc 6.0c 1515 Date: 23 Sep 1995 23:56:07 GMT 1516 Message-ID: <95925101334.~INN-AUMa00187.comp-news@dl.ac.uk> 1517 From: alansz@mellers1.psych.berkeley.edu (Alan Schwartz) 1518 Subject: Listproc 6.0c + Sendmail 8.7 [Helpful hint] 1519 1520 Just upgraded to sendmail 8.7, and discovered that listproc 6.0c 1521 breaks, because it, by default, sends a blank "HELO" rather than 1522 a "HELO hostname" when using the 'system' or 'telnet' mailmethod. 1523 1524 The fix is to include -DZMAILER in the compilation, which will 1525 cause it to use "HELO hostname" (which Z-mail apparently requires 1526 as well. :) 1527 1528OpenSSL 1529 OpenSSL versions prior to 0.9.6 use a macro named Free which 1530 conflicts with existing macro names on some platforms, such as 1531 AIX. 1532 Do not use 0.9.3, but OpenSSL 0.9.5a or later if compatible with 1533 0.9.5a. 1534 1535sfio 1536 You may run into problems if you use sfio2000 (the body of a 1537 message is lost). Use sfio1999 instead; however, it also has 1538 a bug that can cause sendmail to fail. A patch has been provided 1539 by Petr Lampa of Brno University of Technology, which is given here: 1540 1541diff -rc ../../../../sfio/src/lib/sfio/sfputr.c ./sfputr.c 1542*** ../../../../sfio/src/lib/sfio/sfputr.c Tue May 16 18:25:49 2000 1543--- ./sfputr.c Wed Sep 20 09:06:01 2000 1544*************** 1545*** 24,29 **** 1546--- 24,30 ---- 1547 for(w = 0; (*s || rc >= 0); ) 1548 { SFWPEEK(f,ps,p); 1549 1550+ if(p == -1) return -1; /* PL */ 1551 if(p == 0 || (f->flags&SF_WHOLE) ) 1552 { n = strlen(s); 1553 if(p >= (n + (rc < 0 ? 0 : 1)) ) 1554 1555 1556PH 1557 PH support is provided by Mark Roth <roth@uiuc.edu>.

If not, a bad guy whom 1573 you reject will connect to your site, fail, and move on to the next 1574 MX site, which will accept the mail for you and forward it on to you. 1575 1576Regular Expressions (MAP_REGEX) 1577 If sendmail linking fails with: 1578 1579 undefined reference to 'regcomp' 1580 1581 or sendmail gives an error about a regular expression with: 1582 1583 pattern-compile-error: : Operation not applicable 1584 1585 Your libc does not include a running version of POSIX-regex. Use 1586 librx or regex.o from the GNU Free Software Foundation, 1587 ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/rx-?.?.tar.gz or 1588 ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/regex-?.?.tar.gz. 1589 You can also use the regex-lib by Henry Spencer, 1590 ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/languages/C/spencer/regex.shar.gz 1591 Make sure, your compiler reads regex.h from the distribution, 1592 not from /usr/include, otherwise sendmail will dump a core. 1593 1594 1595+--------------+ 1596| MANUAL PAGES | 1597+--------------+ 1598 1599The manual pages have been written against the -man macros, and 1600should format correctly with any reasonable *roff. 1601 1602+-----------------+ 1603| DEBUGGING HOOKS | 1604+-----------------+ 1605 1606As of 8.6.5, sendmail daemons will catch a SIGUSR1 signal and log 1607some debugging output (logged at LOG_DEBUG severity). The 1608information dumped is: 1609 1610 * The value of the $j macro. 1611 * A warning if $j is not in the set $=w. 1612 * A list of the open file descriptors. 1613 * The contents of the connection cache. 1614 * If ruleset 89 is defined, it is evaluated and the results printed. 1615 1616This allows you to get information regarding the runtime state of the 1617daemon on the fly. This should not be done too frequently, since 1618the process of rewriting may lose memory which will not be recovered. 1619Also, ruleset 89 may call non-reentrant routines, so there is a small 1620non-zero probability that this will cause other problems. It is 1621really only for debugging serious problems. 1622 1623A typical formulation of ruleset 89 would be: 1624 1625 R$* $@ $>0 some test address 1626 1627 1628+-----------------------------+ 1629| DESCRIPTION OF SOURCE FILES | 1630+-----------------------------+ 1631 1632The following list describes the files in this directory: 1633 1634Build Shell script for building sendmail. 1635Makefile A convenience for calling ./Build. 1636Makefile.m4 A template for constructing a makefile based on the 1637 information in the devtools directory. 1638README This file. 1639TRACEFLAGS My own personal list of the trace flags -- not guaranteed 1640 to be particularly up to date. 1641alias.c Does name aliasing in all forms. 1642aliases.5 Man page describing the format of the aliases file. 1643arpadate.c A subroutine which creates ARPANET standard dates. 1644bf.h Buffered file I/O function declarations. 1645bf_portable.c Stub routines for systems lacking the Torek stdio library. 1646bf_portable.h Data structure and function declarations for bf_portable.c. 1647bf_torek.c Routines to implement memory-buffered file system using 1648 hooks provided by Torek stdio library. 1649bf_torek.h Data structure and function declarations for bf_torek.c. 1650clock.c Routines to implement real-time oriented functions 1651 in sendmail -- e.g., timeouts. 1652collect.c The routine that actually reads the mail into a temp 1653 file.
