 of the sendmail configuration files, the date of release, and a
 summary of the changes in that release.
 
+8.12.3/8.12.3	2002/04/05
+	NOTICE: In general queue files should not be moved if queue groups
+		are used.  In previous versions this could cause mail
+		not to be delivered if a queue file is repeatedly moved
+		by an external process whenever sendmail moved it back
+		into the right place.  Some precautions have been taken
+		to avoid moving queue files if not really necessary.
+		sendmail may use links to refer to queue files and it
+		may store the path of data files in queue files.  Hence
+		queue files should not be moved unless those internals
+		are understood and the integrity of the files is not
+		compromised.  Problem noted by Anne Bennett of Concordia
+		University.
+	If an error mail is created, and the mail is split across different
+		queue directories, and SuperSafe is off, then write the mail
+		to disk before splitting it, otherwise an assertion is
+		triggered.  Problem tracked down by Henning Schmiedehausen
+		of INTERMETA.
+	Fix possible race condition that could cause sendmail to forget
+		running queues.  Problem noted by Jeff Wasilko of smoe.org.
+	Handle bogus qf files better without triggering assertions.
+		Problem noted by Guy Feltin.
+	Protect against interrupted select() call when enforcing Milter
+		read and write timeouts.  Patch from Gurusamy Sarathy of
+		ActiveState.
+	Matching queue IDs with -qI should be case sensitive.  Problem
+		noted by Anne Bennett of Concordia University.
+	If privileges have been dropped, don't try to change group ID to
+		the RunAsUser group.  Problem noted by Neil Rickert of
+		Northern Illinois University.
+	Fix SafeFileEnvironment path munging when the specified path
+		contains a trailing slash.  Based on patch from Dirk Meyer
+		of Dinoex.
+	Do not limit sendmail command line length to SM_ARG_MAX (usually
+		4096).  Problem noted by Allan E Johannesen of Worcester
+		Polytechnic Institute.
+	Clear full name of sender for each new envelope to avoid bogus data
+		if several mails are sent in one session and some of them
+		do not have a From: header.  Problem noted by Bas Haakman.
+	Change timeout check such that cached information about a connection
+		will be immediately invalid if ConnectionCacheTimeout is zero.
+		Based on patch from David Burns of Portland State University.
+	Properly count message size for mailstats during mail collection.
+		Problem noted by Werner Wiethege.
+	Log complete response from LMTP delivery agent on failure.  Based on
+		patch from by Motonori Nakamura of Kyoto University.
+	Provide workaround for getopt() implementations that do not catch
+		missing arguments.
+	Fix the message size calculation if the message body is replaced by
+		a milter filter and buffered file I/O is being used.
+		Problem noted by Sergey Akhapkin of Dr.Web.
+	Do not honor SIGUSR1 requests if running with extra privileges.
+		Problem noted by Werner Wiethege.
+	Prevent a file descriptor leak on mail delivery if the initial
+		connect fails and DialDelay is set.  Patch from Servaas
+		Vandenberghe of Katholieke Universiteit Leuven.
+	Properly deal with a case where sendmail is called by root running
+		a set-user-ID (non-root) program.  Problem noted by Jon
+		Lusky of ISS Atlanta.
+	Avoid leaving behind stray transcript (xf) files if multiple queue
+		directories are used and mail is sent to a mailing list
+		which has an owner- alias.  Problem noted by Anne Bennett
+		of Concordia University.
+	Fix class map parsing code if optional key is specified.  Problem
+		found by Mario Nigrovic.
+	The SMTP daemon no longer tries to fix up improperly dot-stuffed
+		incoming messages.  A leading dot is always stripped by the
+		SMTP receiver regardless of whether or not it is followed by
+		another dot.  Problem noted by Jordan Ritter of darkridge.com.
+	Fix corruption when doing automatic MIME 7-bit quoted-printable or
+		base64 encoding to 8-bit text.  Problem noted by Mark
+		Elvers.
+	Correct the statistics gathered for total number of connections.
+		Instead of being the exact same number as the total number
+		of messages (T line in mailstats) it now represents the
+		total number of TCP connections.
+	Be more explicit about syntax errors in addresses, especially
+		non-ASCII characters, and properly create DSNs if necessary.
+		Problem noted by Leena Heino of the University of Tampere.
+	Prevent small timeouts from being lost on slow machines if itimers
+		are used.  Problem noted by Suresh Ramasubramanian.
+	Prevent a race condition on child cleanup for delivery to files.
+		Problem noted by Fletcher Mattox of the University of
+		Texas.
+	Change the SMTP error code for temporary map failures from 421
+		to 451.
+	Do not assume that realloc(NULL, size) works on all OS (this was
+		only done in one place: queue group creation).  Based on
+		patch by Bryan Costales.
+	Initialize Timeout.iconnect in the code to prevent randomly short
+		timeouts.  Problem noted by Bradley Watts of AT&T Canada.
+	Do not try to send a second SMTP QUIT command if the remote
+		responds to a MAIL command with a 421 reply or on I/O
+		errors.  By doing so, the host was marked as having a
+		temporary problem and other mail destined for that host was
+		queued for the next queue run.  Problem noted by Fletcher
+		Mattox of the University of Texas, Allan E Johannesen of
+		Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Larry Greenfield of CMU,
+		and Neil Rickert of Northern Illinois University.
+	Ignore error replies from the SMTP QUIT command (including servers
+		which drop the connection instead of responding to the
+		command).
+	Portability:
+		Check LDAP_API_VERSION to determine if ldap_memfree() is
+			availble.
+		Define HPUX10 when building on HP-UX 10.X.  That platform
+			now gets the proper _PATH_SENDMAIL and SMRSH_CMDDIR
+			settings.  Patch from Elias Halldor Agustsson of
+			Skyrr.
+		Fix dependency building on Mac OS X and Darwin.  Problem
+			noted by John Beck.
+		Preliminary support for the sparc64 port of FreeBSD 5.0.
+		Add /sbin/sh as an acceptable user shell on HP-UX.  From
+			Rajesh Somasund of Hewlett-Packard.
+	CONFIG: Add FEATURE(`authinfo') to allow a separate database for
+		SMTP AUTH information.  This feature was actually added in
+		8.12.0 but a release note was not included.
+	CONFIG: Do not bounce mail if FEATURE(`ldap_routing')'s bounce
+		parameter is set and the LDAP lookup returns a temporary
+		error.
+	CONFIG: Honor FEATURE(`relay_hosts_only') when using
+		FEATURE(`relay_mail_from', `domain').  Problem noted by
+		Krzysztof Oledzki.
+	CONFIG: FEATURE(`msp') now disables any type of alias
+		initialization as aliases are not needed for the MSP.
+	CONFIG: Allow users to override RELAY_MAILER_ARGS when FEATURE(`msp')
+		is in use.  Patch from Andrzej Filip.
+	CONFIG: FEATURE(`msp') uses `[localhost]' as default instead of
+		`localhost' and turns on MX lookups for the SMTP mailers.
+		This will only have an effect if a parameter is specified,
+		i.e., an MX lookup will be performed on the hostname unless
+		it is embedded in square brackets.  Problem noted by
+		Theo Van Dinter of Collective Technologies.
+	CONFIG: Set confTIME_ZONE to USE_TZ in submit.mc (TimeZoneSpec= in
+		submit.cf) to use $TZ for time stamps.  This is a compromise
+		to allow for the proper time zone on systems where the
+		default results in misleading time stamps. That is, syslog
+		time stamps and Date headers on submitted mail will use the
+		user's $TZ setting.  Problem noted by Mark Roth of the
+		University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, solution proposed
+		by Neil Rickert of Northern Illinois University.
+	CONFIG: Mac OS X (Darwin) ships with mail.local as non-set-user-ID
+		binary.  Adjust local mailer flags accordingly.  Problem
+		noted by John Beck.
+	CONTRIB: Add a warning to qtool.pl to not move queue files around
+		if queue groups are used.
+	CONTRIB: buildvirtuser: Add -f option to force rebuild.
+	CONTRIB: smcontrol.pl: Add -f option to specify control socket.
+	CONTRIB: smcontrol.pl: Add support for 'memdump' command.
+		Suggested by Bryan Costales.
+	DEVTOOLS: Add dependency generation for test programs.
+	LIBMILTER: Remove conversion of port number for the socket
+		structure that is passed to xxfi_connect().  Notice:
+		this fix requires that sendmail and libmilter have both
+		this change, mixing versions may lead to wrong port
+		values depending on the endianness of the involved systems.
+		Problem noted by Gisle Aas of ActiveState.
+	LIBMILTER: If smfi_setreply() sets a custom reply code of '4XX' but
+		SMFI_REJECT is returned, ignore the custom reply.  Do the
+		same if '5XX' is used and SMFI_TEMPFAIL is returned.
+	LIBMILTER: Install include files in ${INCLUDEDIR}/libmilter/ as
+		required by mfapi.h.  Problem noted by Jose Marcio Martins
+		da Cruz of Ecole Nationale Superieure des Mines de Paris.
+	LIBSM: Add SM_CONF_LDAP_MEMFREE as a configuration define.  Set
+		this to 1 if your LDAP client libraries include
+		ldap_memfree().
+	LIBSMDB: Avoid a file creation race condition for Berkeley DB 1.X
+		and NDBM on systems with the O_EXLOCK open(2) flag.
+	SMRSH: Fix compilation problem on some operating systems.  Problem
+		noted by Christian Krackowizer of schuler technodat GmbH.
+	VACATION: Allow root to operate on user vacation databases.  Based
+		on patch from Greg Couch of the University of California,
+		San Francisco.
+	VACATION: Don't ignore -C option.  Based on patch by Bryan Costales.
+	VACATION: Clarify option usage in the man page.  Problem noted by
+		Joe Barbish.
+	New Files:
+		libmilter/docs/smfi_setbacklog.html

 8.12.2/8.12.2	2002/01/13
 	Don't complain too much if stdin, stdout, or stderr are missing
 		at startup, only log an error message.
