+8.12.4/8.12.4 2002/06/03
+ SECURITY: Inherent limitations in the UNIX file locking model
+ can leave systems open to a local denial of service
+ attack. Be sure to read the "FILE AND MAP PERMISSIONS"
+ section of the top level README for more information.
+ Problem noted by lumpy.
+ Use TempFileMode (defaults to 0600) for the permissions of PidFile
+ instead of 0644.
+ Change the default file permissions for new alias database files
+ from 0644 to 0640. This can be overridden at compile time
+ by setting the DBMMODE macro.
+ Fix a potential core dump problem if the environment variable
+ NAME is set. Problem noted by Beth A. Chaney of
+ Purdue University.
+ Expand macros before passing them to libmilter. Problem noted
+ by Jose Marcio Martins da Cruz of Ecole Nationale
+ Superieure des Mines de Paris.
+ Rewind the df (message body) before truncating it when libmilter
+ replaces the body of a message. Problem noted by Gisle Aas
+ of Active State.
+ Change SMTP reply code for AUTH failure from 500 to 535 and the
+ initial zero-length response to "=" per RFC 2554. Patches
+ from Kenneth Murchison of Oceana Matrix Ltd.
+ Do not try to fix broken message/rfc822 MIME attachments by
+ inserting a MIME-Version: header when MaxMimeHeaderLength
+ is set and no 8 to 7 bit conversion is needed. Based on
+ patch from Rehor Petr of ICZ (Czech Republic).
+ Do not log "did not issue MAIL/EXPN/VRFY/ETRN" if the connection
+ is rejected anyway. Noted by Chris Loelke.
+ Mention the submission mail queue in the mailq man page. Requested
+ by Bill Fenner of AT&T.
+ Set ${msg_size} macro when reading a message from the command line
+ or the queue.
+ Detach from shared memory before dropping privileges back to
+ user who started sendmail.
+ If AllowBogusHELO is set to false (default) then also complain if
+ the argument to HELO/EHLO contains white space. Suggested
+ by Seva Gluschenko of Cronyx Plus.
+ Allow symbolicly linked forward files in writable directory paths
+ if both ForwardFileInUnsafeDirPath and
+ LinkedForwardFileInWritableDir DontBlameSendmail options
+ are set. Problem noted by Werner Spirk of
+ Leibniz-Rechenzentrum Munich.
+ Portability:
+ Operating systems that lack the ftruncate() call will not
+ be able to use Milter's body replacement feature.
+ This only affects Altos, Maxion, and MPE/iX.
+ Digital UNIX 5.0 has changed flock() semantics to be
+ non-compliant. Problem noted by Martin Mokrejs of
+ Charles University in Prague.
+ The sparc64 port of FreeBSD 5.0 now supports shared
+ memory.
+ CONFIG: FEATURE(`preserve_luser_host') needs the macro map.
+ Problem noted by Andrzej Filip.
+ CONFIG: Using 'local:' as a mailertable value with
+ FEATURE(`preserve_luser_host') and LUSER_RELAY caused mail
+ to be misaddressed. Problem noted by Andrzej Filip.
+ CONFIG: Provide a workaround for DNS based rejection lists that
+ fail for AAAA queries. Problem noted by Chris Boyd.
+ CONFIG: Accept the machine's hostname as resolvable when checking
+ the sender address. This allows locally submitted mail to
+ be accepted if the machine isn't connected to a nameserver
+ and doesn't have an /etc/hosts entry for itself. Problem
+ noted by Robert Watson of the TrustedBSD Project.
+ CONFIG: Use deferred expansion for checking the ${deliveryMode}
+ macro in case the SMTP VERB command is used. Problem
+ noted by Bryan Costales.
+ CONFIG: Avoid a duplicate '@domain' virtusertable lookup if no
+ matches are found. Fix from Andrzej Filip.
+ CONFIG: Fix wording in default dnsbl rejection message. Suggested
+ by Lou Katz of Metron Computerware, Ltd.
+ CONFIG: Add mailer cyrusv2 for Cyrus V2. Contributed by
+ Kenneth Murchison of Oceana Matrix Ltd.
+ CONTRIB: Fix wording in default dnsblaccess rejection message to
+ match dnsbl change.
+ DEVTOOLS: Add new option for access mode of statistics file,
+ confSTMODE, which specifies the permissions when initially
+ installing the sendmail statistics file.
+ LIBMILTER: Mark the listening socket as close-on-exec in case
+ a user's filter starts other applications.
+ LIBSM: Allow the MBDB initialize, lookup, and/or terminate
+ functions in SmMbdbTypes to be set to NULL.
+ MAKEMAP: Change the default file permissions for new databases from
+ 0644 to 0640. This can be overridden at compile time
+ by setting the DBMMODE macro.
+ SMRSH: Fix man page bug: replace SMRSH_CMDBIN with SMRSH_CMDDIR.
+ Problem noted by Dave Alden of Ohio State University.
+ VACATION: When listing the vacation database (-l), don't show
+ bogus timestamps for excluded (-x) addresses. Problem
+ noted by Bryan Costales.
+ New Files:
+ cf/mailer/cyrusv2.m4
