38| BUILDING SENDMAIL |
39+-------------------+
40
41By far, the easiest way to compile sendmail is to use the "Build"
42script:
43
44	sh Build
45
46This uses the "uname" command to figure out what architecture you are
47on and creates a proper Makefile accordingly.  It also creates a
48subdirectory per object format, so that multiarchitecture support is
49easy.  In general this should be all you need.  IRIX 6.x users should
50read the note below in the OPERATING SYSTEM AND COMPILE QUIRKS section.
51
52If you need to look at other include or library directories, use the
53-I or -L flags on the command line, e.g.,
54
55	sh Build -I/usr/sww/include -L/usr/sww/lib
56
57It's also possible to create local site configuration in the file
58site.config.m4 (or another file settable with the -f flag).  This
59file contains M4 definitions for various compilation values; the
60most useful are:
61
62confMAPDEF	-D flags to specify database types to be included
63		(see below)
64confENVDEF	-D flags to specify other environment information
65confINCDIRS	-I flags for finding include files during compilation
66confLIBDIRS	-L flags for finding libraries during linking
67confLIBS	-l flags for selecting libraries during linking
68confLDOPTS	other ld(1) linker options
69
70Others can be found by examining Makefile.m4.  Please read
71../devtools/README for more information about the site.config.m4
72file.
73
74You can recompile from scratch using the -c flag with the Build
75command.  This removes the existing compilation directory for the
76current platform and builds a new one.
77
78Porting to a new Unix-based system should be a matter of creating
79an appropriate configuration file in the devtools/OS/ directory.
80
81
82+----------------------+
83| DATABASE DEFINITIONS |
84+----------------------+
85
86There are several database formats that can be used for the alias files
87and for general maps.  When used for alias files they interact in an
88attempt to be backward compatible.
89
90The options are:
91
92NEWDB		The new Berkeley DB package.  Some systems (e.g., BSD/OS and
93		Digital UNIX 4.0) have some version of this package
94		pre-installed.  If your system does not have Berkeley DB
95		pre-installed, or the version installed is not version 2.0
96		or greater (e.g., is Berkeley DB 1.85 or 1.86), get the
97		current version from http://www.sleepycat.com/.  DO NOT
98		use a version from any of the University of California,
99		Berkeley "Net" or other distributions.  If you are still
100		running BSD/386 1.x, you will need to upgrade the included
101		Berkeley DB library to a current version.  NEWDB is included
102		automatically if the Build script can find a library named
103		libdb.a or libdb.so.
104NDBM		The older NDBM implementation -- the very old V7 DBM
105		implementation is no longer supported.
106NIS		Network Information Services.  To use this you must have
107		NIS support on your system.
108NISPLUS		NIS+ (the revised NIS released with Solaris 2).  You must
109		have NIS+ support on your system to use this flag.
110HESIOD		Support for Hesiod (from the DEC/Athena distribution).  You
111		must already have Hesiod support on your system for this to
112		work.  You may be able to get this to work with the MIT/Athena
113		version of Hesiod, but that's likely to be a lot of work.
114		BIND 8.X also includes Hesiod support.
115LDAPMAP		Lightweight Directory Access Protocol support.  You will
116		have to install the UMich or OpenLDAP
117		(http://www.openldap.org/) ldap and lber libraries to use
118		this flag.
119MAP_REGEX	Regular Expression support.  You will need to use an
120		operating system which comes with the POSIX regex()
121		routines or install a regexp library such as libregex from
122		the Free Software Foundation.
123DNSMAP		DNS map support.  Requires NAMED_BIND.
124PH_MAP		PH map support.  You will need the libphclient library from
125		the nph package (http://www-dev.cso.uiuc.edu/ph/nph/).
126MAP_NSD		nsd map support (IRIX 6.5 and later).
127
128>>>  NOTE WELL for NEWDB support: If you want to get ndbm support, for
129>>>  Berkeley DB versions under 2.0, it is CRITICAL that you remove
130>>>  ndbm.o from libdb.a before you install it and DO NOT install ndbm.h;
131>>>  for Berkeley DB versions 2.0 through 2.3.14, remove dbm.o from libdb.a
132>>>  before you install it.  If you don't delete these, there is absolutely
133>>>  no point to including -DNDBM, since it will just get you another
134>>>  (inferior) API to the same format database.  These files OVERRIDE
135>>>  calls to ndbm routines -- in particular, if you leave ndbm.h in,
136>>>  you can find yourself using the new db package even if you don't
137>>>  define NEWDB.  Berkeley DB versions later than 2.3.14 do not need
138>>>  to be modified.  Please also consult the README in the top level
139>>>  directory of the sendmail distribution for other important information.
140>>>
141>>>  Further note: DO NOT remove your existing /usr/include/ndbm.h --
142>>>  you need that one.  But do not install an updated ndbm.h in
143>>>  /usr/include, /usr/local/include, or anywhere else.
144
145If NEWDB and NDBM are defined (but not NIS), then sendmail will read
146NDBM format alias files, but the next time a newaliases is run the
147format will be converted to NEWDB; that format will be used forever
148more.  This is intended as a transition feature.
149
150If NEWDB, NDBM, and NIS are all defined and the name of the file includes
151the string "/yp/", sendmail will rebuild BOTH the NEWDB and NDBM format
152alias files.  However, it will only read the NEWDB file; the NDBM format
153file is used only by the NIS subsystem.  This is needed because the NIS
154maps on an NIS server are built directly from the NDBM files.
155
156If NDBM and NIS are defined (regardless of the definition of NEWDB),
157and the filename includes the string "/yp/", sendmail adds the special
158tokens "YP_LAST_MODIFIED" and "YP_MASTER_NAME", both of which are
159required if the NDBM file is to be used as an NIS map.
160
161All of these flags are normally defined in the DBMDEF line in the
162Makefile.
163
164If you define NEWDB or HESIOD you get the User Database (USERDB)
165automatically.  Generally you do want to have NEWDB for it to do
166anything interesting.  See above for getting the Berkeley DB
167package (i.e., NEWDB).  There is no separate "user database"
168package -- don't bother searching for it on the net.
169
170Hesiod and LDAP require libraries that may not be installed with your
171system.  These are outside of my ability to provide support.  See the
172"Quirks" section for more information.
173
174The regex map can be used to see if an address matches a certain regular
175expression.  For example, all-numerics local parts are common spam
176addresses, so "^[0-9]+$" would match this.  By using such a map in a
177check_* rule-set, you can block a certain range of addresses that would
178otherwise be considered valid.
179
180
181+---------------+
182| COMPILE FLAGS |
183+---------------+
184
185Wherever possible, I try to make sendmail pull in the correct
186compilation options needed to compile on various environments based on
187automatically defined symbols.  Some machines don't seem to have useful
188symbols available, requiring that a compilation flag be defined in
189the Makefile; see the devtools/OS subdirectory for the supported
190architectures.
191
192If you are a system to which sendmail has already been ported you
193should not have to touch the following symbols.  But if you are porting,
194you may have to tweak the following compilation flags in conf.h in order
195to get it to compile and link properly:
196
197SYSTEM5		Adjust for System V (not necessarily Release 4).
198SYS5SIGNALS	Use System V signal semantics -- the signal handler
199		is automatically dropped when the signal is caught.
200		If this is not set, use POSIX/BSD semantics, where the
201		signal handler stays in force until an exec or an
202		explicit delete.  Implied by SYSTEM5.
203SYS5SETPGRP	Use System V setpgrp() semantics.  Implied by SYSTEM5.
204HASNICE		Define this to zero if you lack the nice(2) system call.
205HASRRESVPORT	Define this to zero if you lack the rresvport(3) system call.
206HASFCHMOD	Define this to one if you have the fchmod(2) system call.
207		This improves security.
208HASFCHOWN	Define this to one if you have the fchown(2) system call.
209		This is required for the TrustedUser option if sendmail
210		must rebuild an (alias) map.
211HASFLOCK	Set this if you prefer to use the flock(2) system call
212		rather than using fcntl-based locking.  Fcntl locking
213		has some semantic gotchas, but many vendor systems
214		also interface it to lockd(8) to do NFS-style locking.
215		Unfortunately, may vendors implementations of fcntl locking
216		is just plain broken (e.g., locks are never released,
217		causing your sendmail to deadlock; when the kernel runs
218		out of locks your system crashes).  For this reason, I
219		recommend always defining this unless you are absolutely
220		certain that your fcntl locking implementation really works.
221HASUNAME	Set if you have the "uname" system call.  Implied by
222		SYSTEM5.
223HASUNSETENV	Define this if your system library has the "unsetenv"
224		subroutine.
225HASSETSID	Define this if you have the setsid(2) system call.  This
226		is implied if your system appears to be POSIX compliant.
227HASINITGROUPS	Define this if you have the initgroups(3) routine.
228HASSETVBUF	Define this if you have the setvbuf(3) library call.
229		If you don't, setlinebuf will be used instead.  This
230		defaults on if your compiler defines __STDC__.
231HASSETREUID	Define this if you have setreuid(2) ***AND*** root can
232		use setreuid to change to an arbitrary user.  This second
233		condition is not satisfied on AIX 3.x.  You may find that
234		your system has setresuid(2), (for example, on HP-UX) in
235		which case you will also have to #define setreuid(r, e)
236		to be the appropriate call.  Some systems (such as Solaris)
237		have a compatibility routine that doesn't work properly,
238		but may have "saved user ids" properly implemented so you
239		can ``#define setreuid(r, e) seteuid(e)'' and have it work.
240		The important thing is that you have a call that will set
241		the effective uid independently of the real or saved uid
242		and be able to set the effective uid back again when done.
243		There's a test program in ../test/t_setreuid.c that will
244		try things on your system.  Setting this improves the
245		security, since sendmail doesn't have to read .forward
246		and :include: files as root.  There are certain attacks
247		that may be unpreventable without this call.
248USESETEUID	Define this to 1 if you have a seteuid(2) system call that
249		will allow root to set only the effective user id to an
250		arbitrary value ***AND*** you have saved user ids.  This is
251		preferable to HASSETREUID if these conditions are fulfilled.
252		These are the semantics of the to-be-released revision of
253		Posix.1.  The test program ../test/t_seteuid.c will try
254		this out on your system.  If you define both HASSETREUID
255		and USESETEUID, the former is ignored.
256HASSETEGID	Define this if you have setegid(2) and it can be
257		used to set the saved gid.  Please run t_dropgid in
258		test/ if you are not sure whether the call works.
259HASSETREGID	Define this if you have setregid(2) and it can be
260		used to set the saved gid.  Please run t_dropgid in
261		test/ if you are not sure whether the call works.
262HASSETRESGID	Define this if you have setresgid(2) and it can be
263		used to set the saved gid.  Please run t_dropgid in
264		test/ if you are not sure whether the call works.
265HASLSTAT	Define this if you have symbolic links (and thus the
266		lstat(2) system call).  This improves security.  Unlike
267		most other options, this one is on by default, so you
268		need to #undef it in conf.h if you don't have symbolic
269		links (these days everyone does).
270HASSETRLIMIT	Define this to 1 if you have the setrlimit(2) syscall.
271		You can define it to 0 to force it off.  It is assumed
272		if you are running a BSD-like system.
273HASULIMIT	Define this if you have the ulimit(2) syscall (System V
274		style systems).  HASSETRLIMIT overrides, as it is more
275		general.
276HASWAITPID	Define this if you have the waitpid(2) syscall.
277HASGETDTABLESIZE
278		Define this if you have the getdtablesize(2) syscall.
279HAS_ST_GEN	Define this to 1 if your system has the st_gen field in
280		the stat structure (see stat(2)).
281HASSRANDOMDEV	Define this if your system has the srandomdev(3) function
282		call.
283HASURANDOMDEV	Define this if your system has /dev/urandom(4).
284HASSTRERROR	Define this if you have the libc strerror(3) function (which
285		should be declared in <errno.h>), and it should be used
286		instead of sys_errlist.
287SM_CONF_GETOPT	Define this as 0 if you need a reimplementation of getopt(3).
288		On some systems, getopt does very odd things if called
289		to scan the arguments twice.  This flag will ask sendmail
290		to compile in a local version of getopt that works
291		properly.
292NEEDSTRTOL	Define this if your standard C library does not define
293		strtol(3).  This will compile in a local version.
294NEEDFSYNC	Define this if your standard C library does not define
295		fsync(2).  This will try to simulate the operation using
296		fcntl(2); if that is not available it does nothing, which
297		isn't great, but at least it compiles and runs.
298HASGETUSERSHELL	Define this to 1 if you have getusershell(3) in your
299		standard C library.  If this is not defined, or is defined
300		to be 0, sendmail will scan the /etc/shells file (no
301		NIS-style support, defaults to /bin/sh and /bin/csh if
302		that file does not exist) to get a list of unrestricted
303		user shells.  This is used to determine whether users
304		are allowed to forward their mail to a program or a file.
305NEEDPUTENV	Define this if your system needs am emulation of the
306		putenv(3) call.  Define to 1 to implement it in terms
307		of setenv(3) or to 2 to do it in terms of primitives.
308NOFTRUNCATE	Define this if you don't have the ftruncate(2) syscall.
309		If you don't have this system call, there is an unavoidable
310		race condition that occurs when creating alias databases.
311GIDSET_T	The type of entries in a gidset passed as the second
312		argument to getgroups(2).  Historically this has been an
313		int, so this is the default, but some systems (such as
314		IRIX) pass it as a gid_t, which is an unsigned short.
315		This will make a difference, so it is important to get
316		this right!  However, it is only an issue if you have
317		group sets.
318SLEEP_T		The type returned by the system sleep() function.
319		Defaults to "unsigned int".  Don't worry about this
320		if you don't have compilation problems.
321ARBPTR_T	The type of an arbitrary pointer -- defaults to "void *".
322		If you are an very old compiler you may need to define
323		this to be "char *".
324SOCKADDR_LEN_T	The type used for the third parameter to accept(2),
325		getsockname(2), and getpeername(2), representing the
326		length of a struct sockaddr.  Defaults to int.
327SOCKOPT_LEN_T	The type used for the fifth parameter to getsockopt(2)
328		and setsockopt(2), representing the length of the option
329		buffer.  Defaults to int.
330LA_TYPE		The type of load average your kernel supports.  These
331		can be one of:
332		 LA_ZERO (1) -- it always returns the load average as
333			"zero" (and does so on all architectures).
334		 LA_INT (2) to read /dev/kmem for the symbol avenrun and
335			interpret as a long integer.
336		 LA_FLOAT (3) same, but interpret the result as a floating
337			point number.
338		 LA_SHORT (6) to interpret as a short integer.
339		 LA_SUBR (4) if you have the getloadavg(3) routine in your
340			system library.
341		 LA_MACH (5) to use MACH-style load averages (calls
342			processor_set_info()),
343		 LA_PROCSTR (7) to read /proc/loadavg and interpret it
344			as a string representing a floating-point
345			number (Linux-style).
346		 LA_READKSYM (8) is an implementation suitable for some
347			versions of SVr4 that uses the MIOC_READKSYM ioctl
348			call to read /dev/kmem.
349		 LA_DGUX (9) is a special implementation for DG/UX that uses
350			the dg_sys_info system call.
351		 LA_HPUX (10) is an HP-UX specific version that uses the
352			pstat_getdynamic system call.
353		 LA_IRIX6 (11) is an IRIX 6.x specific version that adapts
354			to 32 or 64 bit kernels; it is otherwise very similar
355			to LA_INT.
356		 LA_KSTAT (12) uses the (Solaris-specific) kstat(3k)
357			implementation.
358		 LA_DEVSHORT (13) reads a short from a system file (default:
359			/dev/table/avenrun) and scales it in the same manner
360			as LA_SHORT.
361		LA_INT, LA_SHORT, LA_FLOAT, and LA_READKSYM have several
362		other parameters that they try to divine: the name of your
363		kernel, the name of the variable in the kernel to examine,
364		the number of bits of precision in a fixed point load average,
365		and so forth.  LA_DEVSHORT uses _PATH_AVENRUN to find the
366		device to be read to find the load average.
367		In desperation, use LA_ZERO.  The actual code is in
368		conf.c -- it can be tweaked if you are brave.
369FSHIFT		For LA_INT, LA_SHORT, and LA_READKSYM, this is the number
370		of bits of load average after the binary point -- i.e.,
371		the number of bits to shift right in order to scale the
372		integer to get the true integer load average.  Defaults to 8.
373_PATH_UNIX	The path to your kernel.  Needed only for LA_INT, LA_SHORT,
374		and LA_FLOAT.  Defaults to "/unix" on System V, "/vmunix"
375		everywhere else.
376LA_AVENRUN	For LA_INT, LA_SHORT, and LA_FLOAT, the name of the kernel
377		variable that holds the load average.  Defaults to "avenrun"
378		on System V, "_avenrun" everywhere else.
379SFS_TYPE	Encodes how your kernel can locate the amount of free
380		space on a disk partition.  This can be set to SFS_NONE
381		(0) if you have no way of getting this information,
382		SFS_USTAT (1) if you have the ustat(2) system call,
383		SFS_4ARGS (2) if you have a four-argument statfs(2)
384		system call (and the include file is <sys/statfs.h>),
385		SFS_VFS (3), SFS_MOUNT (4), SFS_STATFS (5) if you have
386		the two-argument statfs(2) system call with includes in
387		<sys/vfs.h>, <sys/mount.h>, or <sys/statfs.h> respectively,
388		or SFS_STATVFS (6) if you have the two-argument statvfs(2)
389		call.  The default if nothing is defined is SFS_NONE.
390SFS_BAVAIL	with SFS_4ARGS you can also set SFS_BAVAIL to the field name
391		in the statfs structure that holds the useful information;
392		this defaults to f_bavail.
393SPT_TYPE	Encodes how your system can display what a process is doing
394		on a ps(1) command (SPT stands for Set Process Title).  Can
395		be set to:
396		SPT_NONE (0) -- Don't try to set the process title at all.
397		SPT_REUSEARGV (1) -- Pad out your argv with the information;
398			this is the default if none specified.
399		SPT_BUILTIN (2) -- The system library has setproctitle.
400		SPT_PSTAT (3) -- Use the PSTAT_SETCMD option to pstat(2)
401			to set the process title; this is used by HP-UX.
402		SPT_PSSTRINGS (4) -- Use the magic PS_STRINGS pointer (4.4BSD).
403		SPT_SYSMIPS (5) -- Use sysmips() supported by NEWS-OS 6.
404		SPT_SCO (6) -- Write kernel u. area.
405		SPT_CHANGEARGV (7) -- Write pointers to our own strings into
406			the existing argv vector.
407SPT_PADCHAR	Character used to pad the process title; if undefined,
408		the space character (0x20) is used.  This is ignored if
409		SPT_TYPE != SPT_REUSEARGV
410ERRLIST_PREDEFINED
411		If set, assumes that some header file defines sys_errlist.
412		This may be needed if you get type conflicts on this
413		variable -- otherwise don't worry about it.
414WAITUNION	The wait(2) routine takes a "union wait" argument instead
415		of an integer argument.  This is for compatibility with
416		old versions of BSD.
417SCANF		You can set this to extend the F command to accept a
418		scanf string -- this gives you a primitive parser for
419		class definitions -- BUT it can make you vulnerable to
420		core dumps if the target file is poorly formed.
421SYSLOG_BUFSIZE	You can define this to be the size of the buffer that
422		syslog accepts.  If it is not defined, it assumes a
423		1024-byte buffer.  If the buffer is very small (under
424		256 bytes) the log message format changes -- each
425		e-mail message will log many more messages, since it
426		will log each piece of information as a separate line
427		in syslog.
428BROKEN_RES_SEARCH
429		On Ultrix (and maybe other systems?) if you use the
430		res_search routine with an unknown host name, it returns
431		-1 but sets h_errno to 0 instead of HOST_NOT_FOUND.  If
432		you set this, sendmail considers 0 to be the same as
433		HOST_NOT_FOUND.
434NAMELISTMASK	If defined, values returned by nlist(3) are masked
435		against this value before use -- a common value is
436		0x7fffffff to strip off the top bit.
437BSD4_4_SOCKADDR	If defined, socket addresses have an sa_len field that
438		defines the length of this address.
439SAFENFSPATHCONF	Set this to 1 if and only if you have verified that a
440		pathconf(2) call with _PC_CHOWN_RESTRICTED argument on an
441		NFS filesystem where the underlying system allows users to
442		give away files to other users returns <= 0.  Be sure you
443		try both on NFS V2 and V3.  Some systems assume that their
444		local policy apply to NFS servers -- this is a bad
445		assumption!  The test/t_pathconf.c program will try this
446		for you -- you have to run it in a directory that is
447		mounted from a server that allows file giveaway.
448SIOCGIFCONF_IS_BROKEN
449		Set this if your system has an SIOCGIFCONF ioctl defined,
450		but it doesn't behave the same way as "most" systems (BSD,
451		Solaris, SunOS, HP-UX, etc.)
452SIOCGIFNUM_IS_BROKEN
453		Set this if your system has an SIOCGIFNUM ioctl defined,
454		but it doesn't behave the same way as "most" systems
455		(Solaris, HP-UX).
456FAST_PID_RECYCLE
457		Set this if your system can reuse the same PID in the same
458		second.
459SO_REUSEADDR_IS_BROKEN
460		Set this if your system has a setsockopt() SO_REUSEADDR
461		flag but doesn't pay attention to it when trying to bind a
462		socket to a recently closed port.
463NEEDSGETIPNODE	Set this if your system supports IPv6 but doesn't include
464		the getipnodeby{name,addr}() functions.  Set automatically
465		for Linux's glibc.
466PIPELINING	Support SMTP PIPELINING	(set by default).
467USING_NETSCAPE_LDAP
468		Set this if LDAPMAP is set and your LDAP libraries are from
469		(or are derived from) Netscape's implementation, which
470		requires that the return value of ldap_first_attribute()
471		and ldap_next_attribute() be ldap_memfree()'d.
472NEEDLINK	Set this if your system doesn't have a link() call.  It
473		will create a copy of the file instead of a hardlink.
474USE_ENVIRON	Set this to 1 to access process environment variables from
475		the external variable environ instead of the third
476		parameter of main().
477USE_DOUBLE_FORK By default this is on (1).  Set it to 0 to suppress the
478		extra fork() used to avoid intermediate zombies.
479

482| COMPILE-TIME FEATURES |
483+-----------------------+
484
485There are a bunch of features that you can decide to compile in, such
486as selecting various database packages and special protocol support.
487Several are assumed based on other compilation flags -- if you want to
488"un-assume" something, you probably need to edit conf.h.  Compilation
489flags that add support for special features include:
490
491NDBM		Include support for "new" DBM library for aliases and maps.
492		Normally defined in the Makefile.
493NEWDB		Include support for Berkeley DB package (hash & btree)
494		for aliases and maps.  Normally defined in the Makefile.
495		If the version of NEWDB you have is the old one that does
496		not include the "fd" call (this call was added in version
497		1.5 of the Berkeley DB code), you must upgrade to the
498		current version of Berkeley DB.
499NIS		Define this to get NIS (YP) support for aliases and maps.
500		Normally defined in the Makefile.
501NISPLUS		Define this to get NIS+ support for aliases and maps.
502		Normally defined in the Makefile.
503HESIOD		Define this to get Hesiod support for aliases and maps.
504		Normally defined in the Makefile.
505NETINFO		Define this to get NeXT NetInfo support for aliases and maps.
506		Normally defined in the Makefile.
507LDAPMAP		Define this to get LDAP support for maps.
508PH_MAP		Define this to get PH support for maps.
509MAP_NSD		Define this to get nsd support for maps.
510USERDB		Define this to 1 to include support for the User Information
511		Database.  Implied by NEWDB or HESIOD.  You can use
512		-DUSERDB=0 to explicitly turn it off.
513IDENTPROTO	Define this as 1 to get IDENT (RFC 1413) protocol support.
514		This is assumed unless you are running on Ultrix or
515		HP-UX, both of which have a problem in the UDP
516		implementation.  You can define it to be 0 to explicitly
517		turn off IDENT protocol support.  If defined off, the code
518		is actually still compiled in, but it defaults off; you
519		can turn it on by setting the IDENT timeout in the
520		configuration file.
521IP_SRCROUTE	Define this to 1 to get IP source routing information
522		displayed in the Received: header.  This is assumed on
523		most systems, but some (e.g., Ultrix) apparently have a
524		broken version of getsockopt that doesn't properly
525		support the IP_OPTIONS call.  You probably want this if
526		your OS can cope with it.  Symptoms of failure will be that
527		it won't compile properly (that is, no support for fetching
528		IP_OPTIONs), or it compiles but source-routed TCP connections
529		either refuse to open or open and hang for no apparent reason.
530		Ultrix and AIX3 are known to fail this way.
531LOG		Set this to get syslog(3) support.  Defined by default
532		in conf.h.  You want this if at all possible.
533NETINET		Set this to get TCP/IP support.  Defined by default
534		in conf.h.  You probably want this.
535NETINET6	Set this to get IPv6 support.  Other configuration may
536		be needed in conf.h for your particular operating system.
537		Also, DaemonPortOptions must be set appropriately for
538		sendmail to accept IPv6 connections.
539NETISO		Define this to get ISO networking support.
540NETUNIX		Define this to get Unix domain networking support.  Defined
541		by default.  A few bizarre systems (SCO, ISC, Altos) don't
542		support this networking domain.
543NETNS		Define this to get NS networking support.
544NETX25		Define this to get X.25 networking support.
545NAMED_BIND	If non-zero, include DNS (name daemon) support, including
546		MX support.  The specs say you must use this if you run
547		SMTP.  You don't have to be running a name server daemon
548		on your machine to need this -- any use of the DNS resolver,
549		including remote access to another machine, requires this
550		option.  Defined by default in conf.h.  Define it to zero
551		ONLY on machines that do not use DNS in any way.
552MATCHGECOS	Permit fuzzy matching of user names against the full
553		name (GECOS) field in the /etc/passwd file.  This should
554		probably be on, since you can disable it from the config
555		file if you want to.  Defined by default in conf.h.
556MIME8TO7	If non-zero, include 8 to 7 bit MIME conversions.  This
557		also controls advertisement of 8BITMIME in the ESMTP
558		startup dialogue.
559MIME7TO8	If non-zero, include 7 to 8 bit MIME conversions.
560HES_GETMAILHOST	Define this to 1 if you are using Hesiod with the
561		hes_getmailhost() routine.  This is included with the MIT
562		Hesiod distribution, but not with the DEC Hesiod distribution.
563XDEBUG		Do additional internal checking.  These don't cost too
564		much; you might as well leave this on.
565TCPWRAPPERS	Turns on support for the TCP wrappers library (-lwrap).
566		See below for further information.
567SECUREWARE	Enable calls to the SecureWare luid enabling/changing routines.
568		SecureWare is a C2 security package added to several UNIX's
569		(notably ConvexOS) to get a C2 Secure system.  This
570		option causes mail delivery to be done with the luid of the
571		recipient.
572SHARE_V1	Support for the fair share scheduler, version 1.  Setting to
573		1 causes final delivery to be done using the recipients
574		resource limitations.  So far as I know, this is only
575		supported on ConvexOS.
576SASL		Enables SMTP AUTH (RFC 2554).  This requires the Cyrus SASL
577		library (ftp://ftp.andrew.cmu.edu/pub/cyrus-mail/).  Please
578		install at least version 1.5.13.  See below for further
579		information: SASL COMPILATION AND CONFIGURATION.  If your
580		SASL library is older than 1.5.10, you have to set this
581		to its version number using a simple conversion:  a.b.c
582		-> c + b*100 + a*10000, e.g. for 1.5.9 define SASL=10509.
583		Note: Using an older version than 1.5.5 of Cyrus SASL is
584		not supported.  Starting with version 1.5.10, setting SASL=1
585		is sufficient.  Any value other than 1 (or 0) will be
586		compared with the actual version found and if there is a
587		mismatch, compilation will fail.
588EGD		Define this if your system has EGD installed, see
589		http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/ .  It should be used to
590		seed the PRNG for STARTTLS if HASURANDOMDEV is not defined.
591STARTTLS	Enables SMTP STARTTLS (RFC 2487).  This requires OpenSSL
592		(http://www.OpenSSL.org/); use OpenSSL 0.9.5a or later
593		(if compatible with this version), do not use 0.9.3.
594		See STARTTLS COMPILATION AND CONFIGURATION for further
595		information.
596TLS_NO_RSA	Turn off support for RSA algorithms in STARTTLS.
597MILTER		Turn on support for external filters using the Milter API.
598		See libmilter/README for more information.
599REQUIRES_DIR_FSYNC	Turn on support for file systems that require to
600		call fsync() for a directory if the meta-data in it has
601		been changed.  This should be turned on at least for
602		ReiserFS; it is enabled by default for Linux.  An alternative
603		to this compile time flag is to mount the queue directory
604		without the -async option, or using chattr +S on Linux.
605
606Generic notice: If you enable a compile time option that needs
607libraries or include files that don't come with sendmail or are
608installed in a location that your C compiler doesn't use by default
609you should set confINCDIRS and confLIBDIRS as explained in the
610first section:  BUILDING SENDMAIL.
611
612
613+---------------------+
614| DNS/RESOLVER ISSUES |
615+---------------------+
616
617Many systems have old versions of the resolver library.  At a minimum,
618you should be running BIND 4.8.3; older versions may compile, but they
619have known bugs that should give you pause.
620
621Common problems in old versions include "undefined" errors for
622dn_skipname.
623
624Some people have had a problem with BIND 4.9; it uses some routines
625that it expects to be externally defined such as strerror().  It may
626help to link with "-l44bsd" to solve this problem.  This has apparently
627been fixed in later versions of BIND, starting around 4.9.3.  In other
628words, if you use 4.9.0 through 4.9.2, you need -l44bsd; for earlier or
629later versions, you do not.
630
631!PLEASE! be sure to link with the same version of the resolver as
632the header files you used -- some people have used the 4.9 headers
633and linked with BIND 4.8 or vice versa, and it doesn't work.
634Unfortunately, it doesn't fail in an obvious way -- things just
635subtly don't work.
636
637WILDCARD MX RECORDS ARE A BAD IDEA!  The only situation in which they
638work reliably is if you have two versions of DNS, one in the real world
639which has a wildcard pointing to your firewall, and a completely
640different version of the database internally that does not include
641wildcard MX records that match your domain.  ANYTHING ELSE WILL GIVE
642YOU HEADACHES!
643
644When attempting to canonify a hostname, some broken name servers will
645return SERVFAIL (a temporary failure) on T_AAAA (IPv6) lookups.  If you
646want to excuse this behavior, include WorkAroundBrokenAAAA in
647ResolverOptions.  However, instead, we recommend catching the problem and
648reporting it to the name server administrator so we can rid the world of
649broken name servers.
650
651
652+----------------------------------------+
653| STARTTLS COMPILATION AND CONFIGURATION |
654+----------------------------------------+
655
656Please read the documentation accompanying the OpenSSL library.  You
657have to compile and install the OpenSSL libraries before you can compile
658sendmail.  See devtools/README how to set the correct compile time
659parameters; you should at least set the following variables:
660
661APPENDDEF(`conf_sendmail_ENVDEF', `-DSTARTTLS')
662APPENDDEF(`conf_sendmail_LIBS', `-lssl -lcrypto')
663
664If you have installed the OpenSSL libraries and include files in
665a location that your C compiler doesn't use by default you should
666set confINCDIRS and confLIBDIRS as explained in the first section:
667BUILDING SENDMAIL.
668
669Configuration information can be found in doc/op/op.me (required
670certificates) and cf/README (how to tell sendmail about certificates).
671
672To perform an initial test, connect to your sendmail daemon
673(telnet localhost 25) and issue a EHLO localhost and see whether
674250-STARTTLS
675is in the response.  If it isn't, run the daemon with
676-O LogLevel=14
677and try again.  Then take a look at the logfile and see whether
678there are any problems listed about permissions (unsafe files)
679or the validity of X.509 certificates.
680
681Further information can be found via:
682http://www.sendmail.org/tips/
683
684
685+------------------------------------+
686| SASL COMPILATION AND CONFIGURATION |
687+------------------------------------+
688
689Please read the documentation accompanying the Cyrus SASL library
690(INSTALL and README).  If you use Berkeley DB for Cyrus SASL then
691you must compile sendmail with the same version of Berkeley DB.
692See devtools/README how to set the correct compile time parameters;
693you should at least set the following variables:
694
695APPENDDEF(`conf_sendmail_ENVDEF', `-DSASL')
696APPENDDEF(`conf_sendmail_LIBS', `-lsasl')
697
698If you have installed the Cyrus SASL library and include files in
699a location that your C compiler doesn't use by default you should
700set confINCDIRS and confLIBDIRS as explained in the first section:
701BUILDING SENDMAIL.
702
703You have to select and install authentication mechanisms and tell
704sendmail where to find the sasl library and the include files (see
705devtools/README for the parameters to set).  Setup the required
706users and passwords as explained in the SASL documentation.  See
707also cf/README for authentication related options (especially
708DefaultAuthInfo if you want authentication between MTAs).
709
710To perform an initial test, connect to your sendmail daemon
711(telnet localhost 25) and issue a EHLO localhost and see whether
712250-AUTH ....
713is in the response.  If it isn't, run the daemon with
714-O LogLevel=14
715and try again.  Then take a look at the logfile and see whether
716there are any security related problems listed (unsafe files).

726GCC problems
727	When compiling with "gcc -O -Wall" specify "-DSM_OMIT_BOGUS_WARNINGS"
728		too (see include/sm/cdefs.h for more info).
729
730	*****************************************************************
731	**  IMPORTANT:  DO NOT USE OPTIMIZATION (``-O'') IF YOU ARE    **
732	**  RUNNING GCC 2.4.x or 2.5.x.  THERE IS A BUG IN THE GCC     **
733	**  OPTIMIZER THAT CAUSES SENDMAIL COMPILES TO FAIL MISERABLY. **
734	*****************************************************************
735
736	Jim Wilson of Cygnus believes he has found the problem -- it will
737	probably be fixed in GCC 2.5.6 -- but until this is verified, be
738	very suspicious of gcc -O.  This problem is reported to have been
739	fixed in gcc 2.6.
740
741	A bug in gcc 2.5.5 caused problems compiling sendmail 8.6.5 with
742	optimization on a Sparc.  If you are using gcc 2.5.5, youi should
743	upgrade to the latest version of gcc.
744
745	Apparently GCC 2.7.0 on the Pentium processor has optimization
746	problems.  I recommend against using -O on that architecture.  This
747	has been seen on FreeBSD 2.0.5 RELEASE.
748
749	Solaris 2.X users should use version 2.7.2.3 over 2.7.2.
750
751	We have been told there are problems with gcc 2.8.0.  If you are
752	using this version, you should upgrade to 2.8.1 or later.
753
754GDBM	GDBM does not work with sendmail 8.8 because the additional
755	security checks and file locking cause problems.  Unfortunately,
756	gdbm does not provide a compile flag in its version of ndbm.h so
757	the code can adapt.  Until the GDBM authors can fix these problems,
758	GDBM will not be supported.  Please use Berkeley DB instead.
759
760Configuration file location
761	Up to 8.6, sendmail tried to find the sendmail.cf file in the same
762	place as the vendors had put it, even when this was obviously
763	stupid.  As of 8.7, sendmail ALWAYS looks for /etc/sendmail.cf.
764	Beginning with 8.10, sendmail uses /etc/mail/sendmail.cf.
765	You can get sendmail to use the stupid vendor .cf location by
766	adding -DUSE_VENDOR_CF_PATH during compilation, but this may break
767	support programs and scripts that need to find sendmail.cf.  You
768	are STRONGLY urged to use symbolic links if you want to use the
769	vendor location rather than changing the location in the sendmail
770	binary.
771
772	NETINFO systems use NETINFO to determine the location of
773	sendmail.cf.  The full path to sendmail.cf is stored as the value of
774	the "sendmail.cf" property in the "/locations/sendmail"
775	subdirectory of NETINFO.  Set the value of this property to
776	"/etc/mail/sendmail.cf" (without the quotes) to use this new
777	default location for Sendmail 8.10.0 and higher.
778
779ControlSocket permissions
780	Paraphrased from BIND 8.2.1's README:
781
782	Solaris and other pre-4.4BSD kernels do not respect ownership or
783	protections on UNIX-domain sockets.  The short term fix for this is to
784	override the default path and put such control sockets into root-
785	owned directories which do not permit non-root to r/w/x through them.
786	The long term fix is for all kernels to upgrade to 4.4BSD semantics.
787
788HP MPE/iX
789	The MPE-specific code within sendmail emulates a set-user-id root
790	environment for the sendmail binary.  But there is no root uid 0 on
791	MPE, nor is there any support for set-user-id programs.  Even when
792	sendmail thinks it is running as uid 0, it will still have the file
793	access rights of the underlying non-zero uid, but because sendmail is
794	an MPE priv-mode program it will still be able to call setuid() to
795	successfully switch to a new uid.
796
797	MPE setgid() semantics don't quite work the way sendmail expects, so
798	special emulation is done here also.
799
800	This uid/gid emulation is enabled via the setuid/setgid file mode bits
801	which are not currently used by MPE.  Code in libsm/mpeix.c examines
802	these bits and enables emulation if they have been set, i.e.,
803	chmod u+s,g+s /SENDMAIL/CURRENT/SENDMAIL.
804
805SunOS 4.x (Solaris 1.x)
806	You may have to use -lresolv on SunOS.  However, beware that
807	this links in a new version of gethostbyname that does not
808	understand NIS, so you must have all of your hosts in DNS.
809
810	Some people have reported problems with the SunOS version of
811	-lresolv and/or in.named, and suggest that you get a newer
812	version.  The symptoms are delays when you connect to the
813	SMTP server on a SunOS machine or having your domain added to
814	addresses inappropriately.  There is a version of BIND
815	version 4.9 on gatekeeper.DEC.COM in pub/BSD/bind/4.9.
816
817	There is substantial disagreement about whether you can make
818	this work with resolv+, which allows you to specify a search-path
819	of services.  Some people report that it works fine, others
820	claim it doesn't work at all (including causing sendmail to
821	drop core when it tries to do multiple resolv+ lookups for a
822	single job).  I haven't tried resolv+, as we use DNS exclusively.
823
824	Should you want to try resolv+, it is on ftp.uu.net in
825	/networking/ip/dns.
826
827	Apparently getservbyname() can fail under moderate to high
828	load under some circumstances.  This will exhibit itself as
829	the message ``554 makeconnection: service "smtp" unknown''.
830	The problem has been traced to one or more blank lines in
831	/etc/services on the NIS server machine.  Delete these
832	and it should work.  This info is thanks to Brian Bartholomew
833	<bb@math.ufl.edu> of I-Kinetics, Inc.
834
835	NOTE: The SunOS 4.X linker uses library paths specified during
836	compilation using -L for run-time shared library searches.
837	Therefore, it is vital that relative and unsafe directory paths not
838	be used when compiling sendmail.
839
840SunOS 4.0.2 (Sun 386i)
841	Date: Fri, 25 Aug 1995 11:13:58 +0200 (MET DST)
842	From: teus@oce.nl
843
844	Sendmail 8.7.Beta.12 compiles and runs nearly out of the box with the
845	following changes:
846	* Don't use /usr/5bin in your PATH, but make /usr/5bin/uname
847	  available as "uname" command.
848	* Use the defines "-DBSD4_3 -DNAMED_BIND=0" in
849	  devtools/OS/SunOS.4.0, which is selected via the "uname" command.
850	I recommend to make available the db-library on the system first
851	(and change the Makefile to use this library).
852	Note that the sendmail.cf and aliases files are found in /etc.
853
854SunOS 4.1.3, 4.1.3_U1
855	Sendmail causes crashes on SunOS 4.1.3 and 4.1.3_U1.  According
856	to Sun bug number 1077939:
857
858	If an application does a getsockopt() on a SOCK_STREAM (TCP) socket
859	after the other side of the connection has sent a TCP RESET for
860	the stream, the kernel gets a Bus Trap in the tcp_ctloutput() or
861	ip_ctloutput() routine.
862
863	For 4.1.3, this is fixed in patch 100584-08, available on the
864	Sunsolve 2.7.1 or later CDs.  For 4.1.3_U1, this was fixed in patch
865	101790-01 (SunOS 4.1.3_U1: TCP socket and reset problems), later
866	obsoleted by patch 102010-05.
867
868	Sun patch 100584-08 is not currently publicly available on their
869	ftp site but a user has reported it can be found at other sites
870	using a web search engine.
871
872Solaris 2.x (SunOS 5.x)
873	To compile for Solaris, the Makefile built by Build must
874	include a SOLARIS definition which reflects the Solaris version
875	(i.e. -DSOLARIS=20400 for 2.4 or -DSOLARIS=20501 for 2.5.1).
876	If you are using gcc, make sure -I/usr/include is not used (or
877	it might complain about TopFrame).  If you are using Sun's cc,
878	make sure /opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc is used instead of /usr/ucb/cc
879	(or it might complain about tm_zone).
880
881	The Solaris "syslog" function is apparently limited to something
882	about 90 characters because of a kernel limitation.  If you have
883	source code, you can probably up this number.  You can get patches
884	that fix this problem: the patch ids are:
885
886		Solaris 2.1	100834
887		Solaris 2.2	100999
888		Solaris 2.3	101318
889
890	Be sure you have the appropriate patch installed or you won't
891	see system logging.
892
893Solaris 2.4 (SunOS 5.4)
894	If you include /usr/lib at the end of your LD_LIBRARY_PATH you run
895	the risk of getting the wrong libraries under some circumstances.
896	This is because of a new feature in Solaris 2.4, described by
897	Rod.Evans@Eng.Sun.COM:
898
899	>> Prior to SunOS 5.4, any LD_LIBRARY_PATH setting was ignored by the
900	>> runtime linker if the application was setxid (secure), thus your
901	>> applications search path would be:
902	>>
903	>>	/usr/local/lib	LD_LIBRARY_PATH component - IGNORED
904	>>	/usr/lib	LD_LIBRARY_PATH component - IGNORED
905	>>	/usr/local/lib	RPATH - honored
906	>>	/usr/lib	RPATH - honored
907	>>
908	>> the effect is that path 3 would be the first used, and this would
909	>> satisfy your resolv.so lookup.
910	>>
911	>> In SunOS 5.4 we made the LD_LIBRARY_PATH a little more flexible.
912	>> People who developed setxid applications wanted to be able to alter
913	>> the library search path to some degree to allow for their own
914	>> testing and debugging mechanisms.  It was decided that the only
915	>> secure way to do this was to allow a `trusted' path to be used in
916	>> LD_LIBRARY_PATH.  The only trusted directory we presently define
917	>> is /usr/lib.  Thus a set-user-ID root developer could play with some
918	>> alternative shared object implementations and place them in
919	>> /usr/lib (being root we assume they'ed have access to write in this
920	>> directory).  This change was made as part of 1155380 - after a
921	>> *huge* amount of discussion regarding the security aspect of things.
922	>>
923	>> So, in SunOS 5.4 your applications search path would be:
924	>>
925	>>	/usr/local/lib	from LD_LIBRARY_PATH - IGNORED (untrustworthy)
926	>>	/usr/lib	from LD_LIBRARY_PATH - honored (trustworthy)
927	>>	/usr/local/lib	from RPATH - honored
928	>>	/usr/lib	from RPATH - honored
929	>>
930	>> here, path 2 would be the first used.
931
932Solaris 2.5.1 (SunOS 5.5.1) and 2.6 (SunOS 5.6)
933	Apparently Solaris 2.5.1 patch 103663-01 installs a new
934	/usr/include/resolv.h file that defines the __P macro without
935	checking to see if it is already defined.  This new resolv.h is also
936	included in the Solaris 2.6 distribution.  This causes compile
937	warnings such as:
938
939	   In file included from daemon.c:51:
940	   /usr/include/resolv.h:208: warning: `__P' redefined
941	   cdefs.h:58: warning: this is the location of the previous definition
942
943	These warnings can be safely ignored or you can create a resolv.h
944	file in the obj.SunOS.5.5.1.* or obj.SunOS.5.6.* directory that reads:
945
946	   #undef __P
947	   #include "/usr/include/resolv.h"
948
949	This problem was fixed in Solaris 7 (Sun bug ID 4081053).
950
951Solaris 7 (SunOS 5.7)
952	Solaris 7 includes LDAP libraries but the implementation was
953	lacking a few things.  The following settings can be placed in
954	devtools/Site/site.SunOS.5.7.m4 if you plan on using those
955	libraries.
956
957	APPENDDEF(`confMAPDEF', `-DLDAPMAP')
958	APPENDDEF(`confENVDEF', `-DLDAP_VERSION_MAX=3')
959	APPENDDEF(`confLIBS', `-lldap')
960
961	Also, Sun's patch 107555 is needed to prevent a crash in the call
962	to ldap_set_option for LDAP_OPT_REFERRALS in ldapmap_setopts if
963	LDAP support is compiled in sendmail.
964
965Solaris 8 and later (SunOS 5.8 and later)
966	Solaris 8 and later can optionally install LDAP support.  If you
967	have installed the Entire Distribution meta-cluster, you can use
968	the following in devtools/Site/site.SunOS.5.8.m4 (or other
969	appropriately versioned file) to enable LDAP:
970
971	APPENDDEF(`confMAPDEF', `-DLDAPMAP')
972	APPENDDEF(`confLIBS', `-lldap')
973
974Solaris 9 and later (SunOS 5.9 and later)
975	Solaris 9 and later have a revised LDAP library, libldap.so.5,
976	which is derived from a Netscape implementation, thus requiring
977	that USING_NETSCAPE_LDAP be defined in conjunction with LDAPMAP:
978
979	APPENDDEF(`confMAPDEF', `-DLDAPMAP -DUSING_NETSCAPE_LDAP')
980	APPENDDEF(`confLIBS', `-lldap')
981
982Solaris
983	If you are using dns for hostname resolution on Solaris, make sure
984	that the 'dns' entry is last on the hosts line in
985	'/etc/nsswitch.conf'.  For example, use:
986
987		hosts:	nisplus files dns
988
989	Do not use:
990
991		host:  nisplus dns [NOTFOUND=return] files
992
993	Note that 'nisplus' above is an illustration.  The same comment
994	applies no matter what naming services you are using.  If you have
995	anything other than dns last, even after "[NOTFOUND=return]",
996	sendmail may not be able to determine whether an error was
997	temporary or permanent.  The error returned by the solaris
998	gethostbyname() is the error for the last lookup used, and other
999	naming services do not have the same concept of temporary failure.
1000
1001Ultrix
1002	By default, the IDENT protocol is turned off on Ultrix.  If you
1003	are running Ultrix 4.4 or later, or if you have included patch
1004	CXO-8919 for Ultrix 4.2 or 4.3 to fix the TCP problem, you can turn
1005	IDENT on in the configuration file by setting the "ident" timeout.
1006
1007	The Ultrix 4.5 Y2K patch (ULTV45-022-1) has changed the resolver
1008	included in libc.a.  Unfortunately, the __RES symbol hasn't changed
1009	and therefore, sendmail can no longer automatically detect the
1010	newer version.  If you get a compiler error:
1011
1012	/lib/libc.a(gethostent.o): local_hostname_length: multiply defined
1013
1014	Then rebuild with this in devtools/Site/site.ULTRIX.m4:
1015
1016	APPENDDEF(`conf_sendmail_ENVDEF', `-DNEEDLOCAL_HOSTNAME_LENGTH=0')
1017
1018Digital UNIX (formerly DEC OSF/1)
1019	If you are compiling on OSF/1 (DEC Alpha), you must use
1020	-L/usr/shlib (otherwise it core dumps on startup).  You may also
1021	need -mld to get the nlist() function, although some versions
1022	apparently don't need this.
1023
1024	Also, the enclosed makefile removed /usr/sbin/smtpd; if you need
1025	it, just create the link to the sendmail binary.
1026
1027	On DEC OSF/1 3.2 or earlier, the MatchGECOS option doesn't work
1028	properly due to a bug in the getpw* routines.  If you want to use
1029	this, use -DDEC_OSF_BROKEN_GETPWENT=1.  The problem is fixed in 3.2C.
1030
1031	Digital's mail delivery agent, /bin/mail (aka /bin/binmail), will
1032	only preserve the envelope sender in the "From " header if
1033	DefaultUserID is set to daemon.  Setting this to mailnull will
1034	cause all mail to have the header "From mailnull ...".  To use
1035	a different DefaultUserID, you will need to use a different mail
1036	delivery agent (such as mail.local found in the sendmail
1037	distribution).
1038
1039	On Digital UNIX 4.0 and later, Berkeley DB 1.85 is included with the
1040	operating system and already has the ndbm.o module removed.  However,
1041	Digital has modified the original Berkeley DB db.h include file.
1042	This results in the following warning while compiling map.c and udb.c:
1043
1044	cc: Warning: /usr/include/db.h, line 74: The redefinition of the macro
1045	 "__signed" conflicts with a current definition because the replacement
1046	 lists differ.  The redefinition is now in effect.
1047	#define __signed        signed
1048	------------------------^
1049
1050	This warning can be ignored.
1051
1052	Digital UNIX's linker checks /usr/ccs/lib/ before /usr/lib/.
1053	If you have installed a new version of BIND in /usr/include
1054	and /usr/lib, you will experience difficulties as Digital ships
1055	libresolv.a in /usr/ccs/lib/ as well.  Be sure to replace both
1056	copies of libresolv.a.
1057
1058IRIX
1059	The header files on SGI IRIX are completely prototyped, and as
1060	a result you can sometimes get some warning messages during
1061	compilation.  These can be ignored.  There are two errors in
1062	deliver only if you are using gcc, both of the form ``warning:
1063	passing arg N of `execve' from incompatible pointer type''.
1064	Also, if you compile with -DNIS, you will get a complaint
1065	about a declaration of struct dom_binding in a prototype
1066	when compiling map.c; this is not important because the
1067	function being prototyped is not used in that file.
1068
1069	In order to compile sendmail you will have had to install
1070	the developers' option in order to get the necessary include
1071	files.
1072
1073	If you compile with -lmalloc (the fast memory allocator), you may
1074	get warning messages such as the following:
1075
1076	   ld32: WARNING 85: definition of _calloc in /usr/lib32/libmalloc.so
1077		preempts that definition in /usr/lib32/mips3/libc.so.
1078	   ld32: WARNING 85: definition of _malloc in /usr/lib32/libmalloc.so
1079		preempts that definition in /usr/lib32/mips3/libc.so.
1080	   ld32: WARNING 85: definition of _realloc in /usr/lib32/libmalloc.so
1081		preempts that definition in /usr/lib32/mips3/libc.so.
1082	   ld32: WARNING 85: definition of _free in /usr/lib32/libmalloc.so
1083		preempts that definition in /usr/lib32/mips3/libc.so.
1084	   ld32: WARNING 85: definition of _cfree in /usr/lib32/libmalloc.so
1085		preempts that definition in /usr/lib32/mips3/libc.so.
1086
1087	These are unavoidable and innocuous -- just ignore them.
1088
1089	According to Dave Sill <de5@ornl.gov>, there is a version of the
1090	Berkeley DB library patched to run on Irix 6.2 available from
1091	http://reality.sgi.com/ariel/freeware/#db .
1092
1093IRIX 6.x
1094	If you are using XFS filesystem, avoid using the -32 ABI switch to
1095	the cc compiler if possible.
1096
1097	Broken inet_aton and inet_ntoa on IRIX using gcc: There's
1098	a problem with gcc on IRIX, i.e., gcc can't pass structs
1099	less than 16 bits long unless they are 8 bits; IRIX 6.2 has
1100	some other sized structs.  See
1101	http://www.bitmechanic.com/mail-archives/mysql/current/0418.html
1102	This problem seems to be fixed by gcc v2.95.2, gcc v2.8.1
1103	is reported as broken.  Check your gcc version for this bug
1104	before installing sendmail.
1105
1106IRIX 6.4
1107	The IRIX 6.5.4 version of /bin/m4 does not work properly with
1108	sendmail.  Either install fw_m4.sw.m4 off the Freeware_May99 CD and
1109	use /usr/freeware/bin/m4 or install and use GNU m4.
1110
1111NeXT or NEXTSTEP
1112	NEXTSTEP 3.3 and earlier ship with the old DBM library.  Also,
1113	Berkeley DB does not currently run on NEXTSTEP.
1114
1115	If you are compiling on NEXTSTEP, you will have to create an
1116	empty file "unistd.h" and create a file "dirent.h" containing:
1117
1118		#include <sys/dir.h>
1119		#define dirent	direct
1120
1121	(devtools/OS/NeXT should try to do both of these for you.)
1122
1123	Apparently, there is a bug in getservbyname on Nextstep 3.0
1124	that causes it to fail under some circumstances with the
1125	message "SYSERR: service "smtp" unknown" logged.  You should
1126	be able to work around this by including the line:
1127
1128		OOPort=25
1129
1130	in your .cf file.
1131
1132BSDI (BSD/386) 1.0, NetBSD 0.9, FreeBSD 1.0
1133	The "m4" from BSDI won't handle the config files properly.
1134	I haven't had a chance to test this myself.
1135
1136	The M4 shipped in FreeBSD and NetBSD 0.9 don't handle the config
1137	files properly.  One must use either GNU m4 1.1 or the PD-M4
1138	recently posted in comp.os.386bsd.bugs (and maybe others).
1139	NetBSD-current includes the PD-M4 (as stated in the NetBSD file
1140	CHANGES).
1141
1142	FreeBSD 1.0 RELEASE has uname(2) now.  Use -DUSEUNAME in order to
1143	use it (look into devtools/OS/FreeBSD).  NetBSD-current may have
1144	it too but it has not been verified.
1145
1146	The latest version of Berkeley DB uses a different naming
1147	scheme than the version that is supplied with your release.  This
1148	means you will be able to use the current version of Berkeley DB
1149	with sendmail as long you use the new db.h when compiling
1150	sendmail and link it against the new libdb.a or libdb.so.  You
1151	should probably keep the original db.h in /usr/include and the
1152	new db.h in /usr/local/include.
1153
11544.3BSD
1155	If you are running a "virgin" version of 4.3BSD, you'll have
1156	a very old resolver and be missing some header files.  The
1157	header files are simple -- create empty versions and everything
1158	will work fine.  For the resolver you should really port a new
1159	version (4.8.3 or later) of the resolver; 4.9 is available on
1160	gatekeeper.DEC.COM in pub/BSD/bind/4.9.  If you are really
1161	determined to continue to use your old, buggy version (or as
1162	a shortcut to get sendmail working -- I'm sure you have the
1163	best intentions to port a modern version of BIND), you can
1164	copy ../contrib/oldbind.compat.c into sendmail and add the
1165	following to devtools/Site/site.config.m4:
1166
1167	APPENDDEF(`confOBJADD', `oldbind.compat.o')
1168
1169OpenBSD (up to 2.9 Release), NetBSD, FreeBSD (up to 4.3-RELEASE)
1170	m4 from *BSD won't handle libsm/Makefile.m4 properly, since the
1171	maximum length for strings is too short.  You need to use GNU m4
1172	or patch m4, see for example:
1173  http://FreeBSD.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/usr.bin/m4/eval.c.diff?r1=1.11&r2=1.12

1175A/UX
1176	Date: Tue, 12 Oct 1993 18:28:28 -0400 (EDT)
1177	From: "Eric C. Hagberg" <hagberg@med.cornell.edu>
1178	Subject: Fix for A/UX ndbm
1179
1180	I guess this isn't really a sendmail bug, however, it is something
1181	that A/UX users should be aware of when compiling sendmail 8.6.
1182
1183	Apparently, the calls that sendmail is using to the ndbm routines
1184	in A/UX 3.0.x contain calls to "broken" routines, in that the
1185	aliases database will break when it gets "just a little big"
1186	(sorry I don't have exact numbers here, but it broke somewhere
1187	around 20-25 aliases for me.), making all aliases non-functional
1188	after exceeding this point.
1189
1190	What I did was to get the gnu-dbm-1.6 package, compile it, and
1191	then re-compile sendmail with "-lgdbm", "-DNDBM", and using the
1192	ndbm.h header file that comes with the gnu-package.  This makes
1193	things behave properly.
1194	  [NOTE: see comment above about GDBM]
1195
1196	I suppose porting the New Berkeley DB package is another route,
1197	however, I made a quick attempt at it, and found it difficult
1198	(not easy at least); the gnu-dbm package "configured" and
1199	compiled easily.
1200
1201	  [NOTE: Berkeley DB version 2.X runs on A/UX and can be used for
1202	  database maps.]
1203
1204SCO Unix
1205	From: Thomas Essebier <tom@stallion.oz.au>
1206	Organisation:  Stallion Technologies Pty Ltd.
1207
1208	It will probably help those who are trying to configure sendmail 8.6.9
1209	to know that if they are on SCO, they had better set
1210		OI-dnsrch
1211	or they will core dump as soon as they try to use the resolver.
1212	i.e., although SCO has _res.dnsrch defined, and is kinda BIND 4.8.3,
1213	it does not inititialise it, nor does it understand 'search' in
1214	/etc/named.boot.
1215		- sigh -
1216
1217	According to SCO, the m4 which ships with UnixWare 2.1.2 is broken.
1218	We recommend installing GNU m4 before attempting to build sendmail.
1219
1220	On some versions a bogus error value is listed if connections
1221	time out (large negative number).  To avoid this explicitly set
1222	Timeout.connect to a reasonable value (several minutes).
1223
1224DG/UX
1225	Doug Anderson <dlander@afterlife.ncsc.mil> has successfully run
1226	V8 on the DG/UX 5.4.2 and 5.4R3.x platforms under heavy usage.
1227	Originally, the DG /bin/mail program wasn't compatible with
1228	the V8 sendmail, since the DG /bin/mail requires the environment
1229	variable "_FORCE_MAIL_LOCAL_=yes" be set.  Version 8.7 now includes
1230	this in the environment before invoking the local mailer.  Some
1231	have used procmail to avoid this problem in the past.  It works
1232	but some have experienced file locking problems with their DG/UX
1233	ports of procmail.
1234
1235Apollo DomainOS
1236	If you are compiling on Apollo, you will have to create an empty
1237	file "unistd.h" (for DomainOS 10.3 and earlier) and create a file
1238	"dirent.h" containing:
1239
1240		#include <sys/dir.h>
1241		#define dirent	direct
1242
1243	(devtools/OS/DomainOS will attempt to do both of these for you.)

1245HP-UX 8.00
1246	Date: Mon, 24 Jan 1994 13:25:45 +0200
1247	From: Kimmo Suominen <Kimmo.Suominen@lut.fi>
1248	Subject: 8.6.5 w/ HP-UX 8.00 on s300
1249
1250	Just compiled and fought with sendmail 8.6.5 on a HP9000/360 (i.e.,
1251	a series 300 machine) running HP-UX 8.00.
1252
1253	I was getting segmentation fault when delivering to a local user.
1254	With debugging I saw it was faulting when doing _free@libc... *sigh*
1255	It seems the new implementation of malloc on s300 is buggy as of 8.0,
1256	so I tried out the one in -lmalloc (malloc(3X)).  With that it seems
1257	to work just dandy.
1258
1259	When linking, you will get the following error:
1260
1261	ld: multiply defined symbol _freespace in file /usr/lib/libmalloc.a
1262
1263	but you can just ignore it.  You might want to add this info to the
1264	README file for the future...
1265
1266Linux
1267	Something broke between versions 0.99.13 and 0.99.14 of Linux:
1268	the flock() system call gives errors.  If you are running .14,
1269	you must not use flock.  You can do this with -DHASFLOCK=0.
1270
1271	Around the inclusion of bind-4.9.3 & Linux libc-4.6.20, the
1272	initialization of the _res structure changed.  If /etc/hosts.conf
1273	was configured as "hosts, bind" the resolver code could return
1274	"Name server failure" errors.  This is supposedly fixed in
1275	later versions of libc (>= 4.6.29?), and later versions of
1276	sendmail (> 8.6.10) try to work around the problem.
1277
1278	Some older versions (< 4.6.20?) of the libc/include files conflict
1279	with sendmail's version of cdefs.h.  Deleting sendmail's version
1280	on those systems should be non-harmful, and new versions don't care.
1281
1282	NOTE ON LINUX & BIND:  By default, the Makefile generated for Linux
1283	includes header files in /usr/local/include and libraries in
1284	/usr/local/lib.  If you've installed BIND on your system, the header
1285	files typically end up in the search path and you need to add
1286	"-lresolv" to the LIBS line in your Makefile.  Really old versions
1287	may need to include "-l44bsd" as well (particularly if the link phase
1288	complains about missing strcasecmp, strncasecmp or strpbrk).
1289	Complaints about an undefined reference to `__dn_skipname' in
1290	domain.o are a sure sign that you need to add -lresolv to LIBS.
1291	Newer versions of Linux are basically threaded BIND, so you may or
1292	may not see complaints if you accidentally mix BIND
1293	headers/libraries with virginal libc.  If you have BIND headers in
1294	/usr/local/include (resolv.h, etc) you *should* be adding -lresolv
1295	to LIBS.  Data structures may change and you'd be asking for a
1296	core dump.
1297
1298	A number of problems have been reported regarding the Linux 2.2.0
1299	kernel.  So far, these problems have been tracked down to syslog()
1300	and DNS resolution.  We believe the problem is with the poll()
1301	implementation in the Linux 2.2.0 kernel and poll()-aware versions
1302	of glib (at least up to 2.0.111).
1303
1304glibc
1305	glibc 2.2.1 (and possibly other versions) changed the value of
1306	__RES in resolv.h but failed to actually provide the IPv6 API
1307	changes that the change implied.  Therefore, compiling with
1308	-DNETINET6 fails.
1309
1310	Workarounds:
1311	1) Compile without -DNETINET6
1312	2) Build against a real BIND 8.2.2 include/lib tree
1313	3) Wait for glibc to fix it
1314
1315AIX 4.X
1316	The AIX 4.X linker uses library paths specified during compilation
1317	using -L for run-time shared library searches.  Therefore, it is
1318	vital that relative and unsafe directory paths not be using when
1319	compiling sendmail.  Because of this danger, by default, compiles
1320	on AIX use the -blibpath option to limit shared libraries to
1321	/usr/lib and /lib.  If you need to allow more directories, such as
1322	/usr/local/lib, modify your devtools/Site/site.AIX.4.2.m4,
1323	site.AIX.4.3.m4, and/or site.AIX.4.x.m4 file(s) and set confLDOPTS
1324	approriately.  For example:
1325
1326	define(`confLDOPTS', `-blibpath:/usr/lib:/lib:/usr/local/lib')
1327
1328	Be sure to only add (safe) system directories.
1329
1330	The AIX version of GNU ld also exhibits this problem.  If you are
1331	using that version, instead of -blibpath, use its -rpath option.
1332	For example:
1333
1334	gcc -Wl,-rpath /usr/lib -Wl,-rpath /lib -Wl,-rpath /usr/local/lib
1335
1336AIX 4.X	If the test program t-event (and most others) in libsm fails,
1337	check your compiler settings.  It seems that the flags -qnoro or
1338	-qnoroconst on some AIX versions trigger a compiler bug.  Check
1339	your compiler settings or use cc instead of xlc.
1340
1341AIX 4.0-4.2, maybe some AIX 4.3 versions
1342	The AIX m4 implements a different mechanism for ifdef which is
1343	inconsistent with other versions of m4.  Therefore, it will not
1344	work properly with the sendmail Build architecture or m4
1345	configuration method.  To work around this problem, please use
1346	GNU m4 from ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/.
1347	The problem seems to be solved in AIX 4.3.3 at least.

1350	From: Valdis.Kletnieks@vt.edu
1351	Date: Sun, 02 Jul 2000 03:58:02 -0400
1352
1353	Under AIX 4.3.3, after applying bos.adt.include 4.3.3.12 to close the
1354	BIND 8.2.2 security holes, you can no longer build with  -DNETINET6
1355	because they changed the value of __RES in resolv.h but failed to
1356	actually provide the API changes that the change implied.
1357
1358	Workarounds:
1359	1) Compile without -DNETINET6
1360	2) Build against a real BIND 8.2.2 include/lib tree
1361	3) Wait for IBM to fix it
1362
1363AIX 3.x
1364	This version of sendmail does not support MB, MG, and MR resource
1365	records, which are supported by AIX sendmail.
1366
1367	Several people have reported that the IBM-supplied named returns
1368	fairly random results -- the named should be replaced.  It is not
1369	necessary to replace the resolver, which will simplify installation.
1370	A new BIND resolver can be found at http://www.isc.org/isc/.
1371
1372AIX 3.1.x
1373	The supplied load average code only works correctly for AIX 3.2.x.
1374	For 3.1, use -DLA_TYPE=LA_SUBR and get the latest ``monitor''
1375	package by Jussi Maki <jmaki@hut.fi> from ftp.funet.fi in the
1376	directory pub/unix/AIX/rs6000/monitor-1.12.tar.Z; use the loadavgd
1377	daemon, and the getloadavg subroutine supplied with that package.
1378	If you don't care about load average throttling, just turn off
1379	load average checking using -DLA_TYPE=LA_ZERO.
1380
1381RISC/os
1382	RISC/os from MIPS is a merged AT&T/Berkeley system.  When you
1383	compile on that platform you will get duplicate definitions
1384	on many files.  You can ignore these.
1385
1386System V Release 4 Based Systems
1387	There is a single devtools OS that is intended for all SVR4-based
1388	systems (built from devtools/OS/SVR4).  It defines __svr4__,
1389	which is predefined by some compilers.  If your compiler already
1390	defines this compile variable, you can delete the definition from
1391	the generated Makefile or create a devtools/Site/site.config.m4
1392	file.
1393
1394	It's been tested on Dell Issue 2.2.

1402	Subject:   Notes for DELL SVR4
1403
1404	Eric,
1405
1406	Here are some notes for compiling Sendmail 8.6.4 on DELL SVR4.  I ran
1407	across these things when helping out some people who contacted me by
1408	e-mail.
1409
1410	1) Use gcc 2.4.5 (or later?).  Dell distributes gcc 2.1 with their
1411	   Issue 2.2 Unix.  It is too old, and gives you problems with
1412	   clock.c, because sigset_t won't get defined in <sys/signal.h>.
1413	   This is due to a problematic protection rule in there, and is
1414	   fixed with gcc 2.4.5.
1415
1416	2) If you don't use the new Berkeley DB (-DNEWDB), then you need
1417	   to add "-lc -lucb" to the libraries to link with.  This is because
1418	   the -ldbm distributed by Dell needs the bcopy, bcmp and bzero
1419	   functions.  It is important that you specify both libraries in
1420	   the given order to be sure you only get the BSTRING functions
1421	   from the UCB library (and not the signal routines etc.).
1422
1423	3) Don't leave out "-lelf" even if compiling with "-lc -lucb".
1424	   The UCB library also has another copy of the nlist routines,
1425	   but we do want the ones from "-lelf".
1426
1427	If anyone needs a compiled gcc 2.4.5 and/or a ported DB library, they
1428	can use anonymous ftp to fetch them from lut.fi in the /kim directory.
1429	They are copies of what I use on grendel.lut.fi, and offering them
1430	does not imply that I would also support them.  I have sent the DB
1431	port for SVR4 back to Keith Bostic for inclusion in the official
1432	distribution, but I haven't heard anything from him as of today.
1433
1434	- gcc-2.4.5-svr4.tar.gz	(gcc 2.4.5 and the corresponding libg++)
1435	- db-1.72.tar.gz	(with source, objects and a installed copy)
1436
1437	Cheers
1438	+ Kim

1444ConvexOS 10.1 and below
1445	In order to use the name server, you must create the file
1446	/etc/use_nameserver.  If this file does not exist, the call
1447	to res_init() will fail and you will have absolutely no
1448	access to DNS, including MX records.
1449
1450Amdahl UTS 2.1.5
1451	In order to get UTS to work, you will have to port BIND 4.9.
1452	The vendor's BIND is reported to be ``totally inadequate.''
1453	See sendmail/contrib/AmdahlUTS.patch for the patches necessary
1454	to get BIND 4.9 compiled for UTS.
1455
1456UnixWare
1457	According to Alexander Kolbasov <sasha@unitech.gamma.ru>,
1458	the m4 on UnixWare 2.0 (still in Beta) will core dump on the
1459	config files.  GNU m4 and the m4 from UnixWare 1.x both work.
1460
1461	According to Larry Rosenman <ler@lerami.lerctr.org>:
1462
1463		UnixWare 2.1.[23]'s m4 chokes (not obviously) when
1464		processing the 8.9.0 cf files.
1465
1466		I had a LOCAL_RULE_0 that wound up AFTER the
1467		SBasic_check_rcpt rules using the SCO supplied M4.
1468		GNU M4 works fine.
1469
1470UNICOS 8.0.3.4
1471	Some people have reported that the -O flag on UNICOS can cause
1472	problems.  You may want to turn this off if you have problems
1473	running sendmail.  Reported by Jerry G. DeLapp <jgd@acl.lanl.gov>.
1474
1475Mac OS X (10.0.X)
1476	From Mike Zimmerman <zimmy@torrentnet.com>:
1477
1478	From scratch here is what Darwin users need to do to the standard
1479	10.0.0, 10.0.1 install to get sendmail working.
1480	From http://www.macosx.com/forums/showthread.php?s=6dac0e9e1f3fd118a4870a8a9b559491&threadid=2242:
1481	1. chmod g-w / /private /private/etc
1482	2. Properly set HOSTNAME in /etc/hostconfig to your FQDN:
1483	   HOSTNAME=-my.domain.com-
1484	3. Edit /etc/rc.boot:
1485	   hostname my.domain.com
1486	   domainname domain.com
1487	4. Edit /System/Library/StartupItems/Sendmail/Sendmail:
1488	   Remove the "&" after the sendmail command:
1489	   /usr/sbin/sendmail -bd -q1h
1490
1491	From Carsten Klapp <carsten.klapp@home.com>:
1492
1493	The easiest workaround is to remove the group-writable permission
1494	for the root directory and the symbolic /etc inherits this
1495	change. While this does fix sendmail, the unfortunate side-effect
1496	is the OS X admin will no longer be able to manipulate icons in the
1497	top level of the Startup disk unless logged into the GUI as the
1498	superuser.
1499
1500	In applying the alternate workaround, care must be taken while
1501	swapping the symlink /etc with the directory /private/etc. In all
1502	likelihood any admin who is concerned with this sendmail error has
1503	enough experience to not accidentally harm anything in the process.
1504
1505	a. Swap the /etc symlink with /private/etc (as superuser):
1506	   rm /etc
1507	   mv /private/etc /etc
1508	   ln -s /etc /private/etc
1509
1510	b. Set / to group unwritable (as superuser):
1511	   chmod g-w /
1512
1513GNU getopt
1514	I'm told that GNU getopt has a problem in that it gets confused
1515	by the double call.  Use the version in conf.c instead.
1516
1517BIND 4.9.2 and Ultrix
1518	If you are running on Ultrix, be sure you read conf/Info.Ultrix
1519	in the BIND distribution very carefully -- there is information
1520	in there that you need to know in order to avoid errors of the
1521	form:
1522
1523		/lib/libc.a(gethostent.o): sethostent: multiply defined
1524		/lib/libc.a(gethostent.o): endhostent: multiply defined
1525		/lib/libc.a(gethostent.o): gethostbyname: multiply defined
1526		/lib/libc.a(gethostent.o): gethostbyaddr: multiply defined
1527
1528	during the link stage.
1529
1530BIND 8.X
1531	BIND 8.X returns HOST_NOT_FOUND instead of TRY_AGAIN on temporary
1532	DNS failures when trying to find the hostname associated with an IP
1533	address (gethostbyaddr()).  This can cause problems as
1534	$&{client_name} based lookups in class R ($=R) and the access
1535	database won't succeed.
1536
1537	This will be fixed in BIND 8.2.1.  For earlier versions, this can
1538	be fixed by making "dns" the last name service queried for host
1539	resolution in /etc/irs.conf:
1540
1541		hosts local continue
1542		hosts dns
1543
1544strtoul
1545	Some compilers (notably gcc) claim to be ANSI C but do not
1546	include the ANSI-required routine "strtoul".  If your compiler
1547	has this problem, you will get an error in srvrsmtp.c on the
1548	code:
1549
1550	  # ifdef defined(__STDC__) && !defined(BROKEN_ANSI_LIBRARY)
1551			e->e_msgsize = strtoul(vp, (char **) NULL, 10);
1552	  # else
1553			e->e_msgsize = strtol(vp, (char **) NULL, 10);
1554	  # endif
1555
1556	You can use -DBROKEN_ANSI_LIBRARY to get around this problem.

1560	Message-ID: <95925101334.~INN-AUMa00187.comp-news@dl.ac.uk>
1561	From: alansz@mellers1.psych.berkeley.edu (Alan Schwartz)
1562	Subject: Listproc 6.0c + Sendmail 8.7 [Helpful hint]
1563
1564	Just upgraded to sendmail 8.7, and discovered that listproc 6.0c
1565	breaks, because it, by default, sends a blank "HELO" rather than
1566	a "HELO hostname" when using the 'system' or 'telnet' mailmethod.
1567
1568	The fix is to include -DZMAILER in the compilation, which will
1569	cause it to use "HELO hostname" (which Z-mail apparently requires
1570	as well. :)
1571
1572OpenSSL
1573	OpenSSL versions prior to 0.9.6 use a macro named Free which
1574	conflicts with existing macro names on some platforms, such as
1575	AIX.
1576	Do not use 0.9.3, but OpenSSL 0.9.5a or later if compatible with
1577	0.9.5a.
1578
1579PH
1580	PH support is provided by Mark Roth <roth@uiuc.edu>.  The map is
1581	described at http://www-dev.cso.uiuc.edu/sendmail/ .
1582
1583	NOTE: The "spacedname" pseudo-field which was used by earlier
1584	versions of the PH map code is no longer supported!  See the URL
1585	listed above for more information.
1586
1587	Please contact Mark Roth for support and questions regarding the
1588	map.
1589
1590TCP Wrappers
1591	If you are using -DTCPWRAPPERS to get TCP Wrappers support you will
1592	also need to install libwrap.a and modify your site.config.m4 file
1593	or the generated Makefile to include -lwrap in the LIBS line
1594	(make sure that INCDIRS and LIBDIRS point to where the tcpd.h and
1595	libwrap.a can be found).
1596
1597	TCP Wrappers is available at ftp://ftp.porcupine.org/pub/security/.
1598
1599	If you have alternate MX sites for your site, be sure that all of
1600	your MX sites reject the same set of hosts.  If not, a bad guy whom
1601	you reject will connect to your site, fail, and move on to the next
1602	MX site, which will accept the mail for you and forward it on to you.
1603
1604Regular Expressions (MAP_REGEX)
1605	If sendmail linking fails with:
1606
1607		undefined reference to 'regcomp'
1608
1609	or sendmail gives an error about a regular expression with:
1610
1611		pattern-compile-error: : Operation not applicable
1612
1613	Your libc does not include a running version of POSIX-regex.  Use
1614	librx or regex.o from the GNU Free Software Foundation,
1615	ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/rx-?.?.tar.gz or
1616	ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/regex-?.?.tar.gz.
1617	You can also use the regex-lib by Henry Spencer,
1618	ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/languages/C/spencer/regex.shar.gz
1619	Make sure, your compiler reads regex.h from the distribution,
1620	not from /usr/include, otherwise sendmail will dump a core.
1621
1622
1623+--------------+
1624| MANUAL PAGES |
1625+--------------+
1626
1627The manual pages have been written against the -man macros, and
1628should format correctly with any reasonable *roff.
1629
1630
1631+-----------------+
1632| DEBUGGING HOOKS |
1633+-----------------+
1634
1635As of 8.6.5, sendmail daemons will catch a SIGUSR1 signal and log
1636some debugging output (logged at LOG_DEBUG severity).  The
1637information dumped is:
1638
1639 * The value of the $j macro.
1640 * A warning if $j is not in the set $=w.
1641 * A list of the open file descriptors.
1642 * The contents of the connection cache.
1643 * If ruleset 89 is defined, it is evaluated and the results printed.
1644
1645This allows you to get information regarding the runtime state of the
1646daemon on the fly.  This should not be done too frequently, since
1647the process of rewriting may lose memory which will not be recovered.
1648Also, ruleset 89 may call non-reentrant routines, so there is a small
1649non-zero probability that this will cause other problems.  It is
1650really only for debugging serious problems.
1651
1652A typical formulation of ruleset 89 would be:
1653
1654	R$*		$@ $>0 some test address
