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.
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.

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).

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.  Thus a setuid root developer could play with some

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')

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.]

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.)

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.

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.

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

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. DeLapp <jgd@acl.lanl.gov>.
1453
1454Mac OS X (10.0.X)
1455	From: Mike Zimmerman <zimmy@torrentnet.com>
1456	From scratch here is what Darwin users need to do to the standard
1457	10.0.0, 10.0.1 install to get sendmail working.
1458	From http://www.macosx.com/forums/showthread.php?s=6dac0e9e1f3fd118a4870a8a9b559491&threadid=2242:
1459	1. chmod g-w / /private /private/etc
1460	2. Properly set HOSTNAME in /etc/hostconfig to your FQDN:
1461	   HOSTNAME=-my.domain.com-
1462	3. Edit /etc/rc.boot:
1463	   hostname my.domain.com
1464	   domainname domain.com
1465	4. Edit /System/Library/StartupItems/Sendmail/Sendmail:
1466	   Remove the "&" after the sendmail command:
1467	   /usr/sbin/sendmail -bd -q1h
1468
1469GNU getopt
1470	I'm told that GNU getopt has a problem in that it gets confused
1471	by the double call.  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.

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

1559	Please contact Mark Roth for support and questions regarding the
1560	map.
1561
1562TCP Wrappers
1563	If you are using -DTCPWRAPPERS to get TCP Wrappers support you will
1564	also need to install libwrap.a and modify your site.config.m4 file
1565	or the generated Makefile to include -lwrap in the LIBS line
1566	(make sure that INCDIRS and LIBDIRS point to where the tcpd.h and
1567	libwrap.a can be found).
1568
1569	TCP Wrappers is available at ftp://ftp.porcupine.org/pub/security/.
1570
1571	If you have alternate MX sites for your site, be sure that all of
1572	your MX sites reject the same set of hosts.  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
