Problem noted by Todd C. Miller of + Courtesan Consulting. + Make sure that an envelope is queued in the selected queue group + even if some recipients are deleted or invalid. Problem + found by Chris Adams of HiWAAY Informations Services. + Do not send a bounce message if a message is completely collected + from the SMTP client. Problem noted by Kari Hurtta of the + Finnish Meteorological Institute. + Provide an 'install-submit-st' target for sendmail/Makefile to + install the MSP statistics file using the file named in the + confMSP_STFILE devtools variable. Requested by Jeff + Earickson of Colby College. + Queue up mail with a temporary error if setusercontext() fails + during a delivery attempt. Patch from Todd C. Miller of + Courtesan Consulting. + Fix handling of base64 encoded client authentication data for + SMTP AUTH. Patch from Elena Slobodnik of life medien GmbH. + Set the OpenLDAP option LDAP_OPT_RESTART so the client libraries + restart interrupted system calls. Problem noted by Luiz + Henrique Duma of BSIOne. + Prevent a segmentation fault if a program passed a NULL envp using + execve(). + Document a problem with the counting of queue runners that may + cause delays if MaxQueueChildren is set too low. Problem + noted by Ian Duplisse of Cable Television Laboratories, Inc. + If discarding a message based on a recipient, don't try to look up + the recipient in the mailbox database if F=w is set. This + allows users to discard bogus recipients when dealing with + spammers without tipping them off. Problem noted by Neil + Rickert of Northern Illinois University. + If applying a header check to a header with unstructured data, + e.g., Subject:, then do not run syntax checks that are + supposed for addresses on the header content. + Count messages rejected/discarded via the check_data ruleset. + Portability: + Fix compilation on systems which do not allow simple + copying of the variable argument va_list. Based on + fix from Scott Walters. + Fix NSD map open bug. From Michel Bourget of SGI. + Add some additional IRIX shells to the default shell + list. From Michel Bourget of SGI. + Fix compilation issues on Mac OS X 10.2 (Darwin 6.0). + NETISO support has been dropped. + CONFIG: There was a seemingly minor change in 8.12.4 with respect + to handling entries of IP nets/addresses with RHS REJECT. + These would be rejected in check_rcpt instead of only + being activated in check_relay. This change has been made to + avoid potential bogus temporary rejection of relay attempts + "450 4.7.1 Relaying temporarily denied. Cannot resolve PTR + record for ..." if delay_checks is enabled. However, this + modification causes a change of behavior if an IP net/address + is listed in the access map with REJECT and a host/domain + name is listed with OK or RELAY, hence it has been reversed + such that the behavior of 8.12.3 is restored. The original + change was made on request of Neil Rickert of Northern + Illinois University, the side effect has been found by + Stefaan Van Hoornick. + CONFIG: Make sure delay_checks works even for sender addresses + using the local hostname ($j) or domains in class {P}. + Based on patch from Neil Rickert of Northern Illinois + University. + CONFIG: Fix temporary error handling for LDAP Routing lookups. + Fix from Andrzej Filip. + CONTRIB: New version of etrn.pl script and external man page + (etrn.0) from John Beck of Sun Microsystems. + LIBMILTER: Protect a free(3) operation from being called with a + NULL pointer. Problem noted by Andrey J. Melnikoff. + LIBMILTER: Protect against more interrupted select() calls. Based + on patch from Jose Marcio Martins da Cruz of Ecole Nationale + Superieure des Mines de Paris. + New Files: + contrib/etrn.0 + 8.12.5/8.12.5 2002/06/25 SECURITY: The DNS map can cause a buffer overflow if the user specifies a dns map using TXT records in the configuration |
