This is a regression introduced + in 8.14.0 due to the change for SMFIP_RCPT_REJ. Bug + found by Andy Fiddaman. + The new DaemonPortOptions which begin with a lower case character + could not be set in 8.14.0. + If a server shut down the connection in response to a STARTTLS + command, sendmail would log a misleading error message + due to an internal inconsistency. Problem found by + Werner Wiethege. + Document how some sendmail.cf options change the behavior of mailq. + Noted by Paul Menchini of the North Carolina School of + Science and Mathematics. + CONFIG: Add confSOFT_BOUNCE m4 option for setting SoftBounce. + CONFIG: 8.14.0's RELEASE_NOTES failed to mention the addition + of the confMAX_NOOP_COMMANDS and confSHARED_MEMORY_KEY_FILE + m4 options for setting MaxNOOPCommands and + SharedMemoryKeyFile. + CONFIG: Add confMILTER_MACROS_EOH and confMILTER_MACROS_DATA m4 + options for setting Milter.macros.eoh and Milter.macros.data. + CONTRIB: Use flock() and fcntl() in qtool.pl if necessary. + Patch from Daniel Carroll of Mesa State College. + LIBMILTER: Make sure an unknown command does not affect the + currently available macros. Problem found by Andy Fiddaman. + LIBMILTER: The MTA did not offer SMFIF_SETSYMLIST during option + negotiation. Problem reported by Bryan Costales. + LIBMILTER: Fix several minor errors in the documentation. + Patches from Bryan Costales. + PORTABILITY FIXES: + AIX 5.{1,2}: libsm/util.c failed to compile due to + redefinition of several macros, e.g., SIG_ERR. + Patch from Jim Pirzyk with assistance by Bob + Booth, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. + Add support for QNX.6. Patch from Sean Boudreau of QNX + Software Systems. + New Files: + devtools/M4/depend/QNX6.m4 + devtools/OS/QNX.6.x + include/sm/os/sm_os_qnx.h + + New Files added in 8.14.0, but not shown in the release notes entry: + libmilter/docs/smfi_chgfrom.html + libmilter/docs/smfi_version.html + +8.14.0/8.14.0 2007/01/31 + Header field values are now 8 bit clean. Notes: + - header field names are still restricted to 7 bit. + - RFC 2822 allows only 7 bit (US-ASCII) characters in + headers. + Preserve spaces after the colon in a header. Previously, any + number of spaces after the colon would be changed to + exactly one space. + In some cases of deeply nested aliases/forwarding, mail can + be silently lost. Moreover, the MaxAliasRecursion + limit may be reached too early, e.g., the counter + may be off by a factor of 4 in case of a sequence of + .forward files that refer to others. Patch from + Motonori Nakamura of Kyoto University. + Fix a regression in 8.13.8: if InputMailFilters is set then + "sendmail -bs" can trigger an assertion because the + hostname of the client is undefined. It is now set + to "localhost" for the xxfi_connect() callback. + Avoid referencing a freed variable during cleanup when terminating. + Problem reported and diagnosed by Joe Maimon. + New option HeloName to set the name for the HELO/EHLO command. + Patch from Nik Clayton. + New option SoftBounce to issue temporary errors (4xy) instead of + permanent errors (5xy). This can be useful for testing. + New suboptions for DaemonPortOptions to set them individually + per daemon socket: + DeliveryMode DeliveryMode + refuseLA RefuseLA + delayLA DelayLA + queueLA QueueLA + children MaxDaemonChildren + New option -K for LDAP maps to replace %1 through %9 in the + lookup key with the LDAP escaped contents of the + arguments specified in the map lookup. Loosely based + on patch from Wolfgang Hottgenroth. + Log the time after which a greet_pause delay triggered. Patch + from Nik Clayton. + If a client is rejected via TCP wrapper or some other check + performed by validate_connection() (in conf.c) then do + not also invoke greet_pause. Problem noted by Jim Pirzyk + of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. + If a client terminates the SMTP connection during a pause + introduced by greet_pause, then a misleading message + was logged previously. Problem noted by Vernon Schryver + et.al., patch from Matej Vela. + New command "mstat" for control socket to provide "machine + readable" status. + New named config file rule check_eom which is called at the end + of a message, its parameter is the size of the message. + If the macro {addr_type} indicates that the current address + is a header address it also distinguishes between + recipient and sender addresses (as it is done for + envelope addresses). + When a macro is set in check_relay, then its value is accessible + by all transactions in the same SMTP session. + Increase size of key for ldap lookups to 1024 (MAXKEY). + New option MaxNOOPCommands to override default of 20 for the + number of "useless" commands before the SMTP server will + slow down responding. + New option SharedMemoryKeyFile: if shared memory support is + enabled, the MTA can be asked to select a shared memory + key itself by setting SharedMemoryKey to -1 and specifying + a file where to store the selected key. + Try to deal with open HTTP proxies that are used to send spam + by recognizing some commands from them. If the first command + from the client is GET, POST, CONNECT, or USER, then the + connection is terminated immediately. + New PrivacyOptions noactualrecipient to avoid putting + X-Actual-Recipient lines in DSNs revealing the actual + account that addresses map to. Patch from Dan Harkless. + New options B, z, and Z for DNS maps: + -B: specify a domain that is always appended to queries. + -z: specify the delimiter at which to cut off the result of + a query if it is too long. + -Z: specify the maximum number of entries to be concatenated + to form the result of a lookup. + New target "check" in the Makefile of libsm: instead of running tests + implicitly while building libsm, they must be explicitly + started by using "make check". + Fixed some inconsistent checks for NULL pointers that have been + reported by the SATURN tool which has been developed by + Isil Dillig and Thomas Dillig of Stanford University. + Fix a potential race condition caused by a signal handler for + terminated child processes. Problem noted by David F. Skoll. + When a milter deleted a recipient, that recipient could cause a + queue group selection. This has been disabled as it was not + intended. + New operator 'r' for the arith map to return a random number. + Patch from Motonori Nakamura of Kyoto University. + New compile time option MILTER_NO_NAGLE to turn off the Nagle + algorithm for communication with libmilter ("cork" on Linux), + which may improve the communication performance on some + operating systems. Patch from John Gardiner Myers of + Proofpoint. + If sendmail received input that contained a CR without subsequent LF + (thus violating RFC 2821 (2.3.7)), it could previously + generate an additional blank line in the output as the last + line. + Restarting persistent queue runners by sending a HUP signal to + the "queue control process" (QCP) works now. + Increase the length of an input line to 12288 to deal with + really long lines during SMTP AUTH negotiations. + Problem noted by Werner Wiethege. + If ARPANET mode (-ba) was selected STARTTLS would fail (due to + a missing initialization call for that case). Problem + noted by Neil Rickert of Northern Illinois University. + If sendmail is linked against a library that initializes Cyrus-SASL + before sendmail did it (such as libnss-ldap), then SMTP AUTH + could fail for the sendmail client. A patch by Moritz Both + works around the API design flaw of Cyrus-SASLv2. + CONFIG: Make it possible to unset the StatusFile option by + undefining STATUS_FILE. By not setting StatusFile, + the MTA will not attempt to open a statistics file on + each delivery. + CONFIG: New FEATURE(`require_rdns') to reject messages from SMTP + clients whose IP address does not have proper reverse DNS. + Contributed by Neil Rickert of Northern Illinois University + and John Beck of Sun Microsystems. + CONFIG: New FEATURE(`block_bad_helo') to reject messages from SMTP + clients which provide a HELO/EHLO argument which is either + unqualified, or is one of our own names (i.e., the server + name instead of the client name). Contributed by Neil + Rickert of Northern Illinois University and John Beck of + Sun Microsystems. + CONFIG: New FEATURE(`badmx') to reject envelope sender addresses + (MAIL) whose domain part resolves to a "bad" MX record. + Based on contribution from William Dell Wisner. + CONFIG: New macros SMTP_MAILER_LL and RELAY_MAILER_LL to override + the maximum line length of the smtp mailers. + CONFIG: New option `relaytofulladdress' for FEATURE(`access_db') + to allow entries in the access map to be of the form + To:user@example.com RELAY + CONFIG: New subsuboptions eoh and data to specify the list of + macros a milter should receive at those stages in the + SMTP dialogue. + CONFIG: New option confHELO_NAME for HeloName to set the name + for the HELO/EHLO command. + CONFIG: dnsbl and enhdnsbl can now also discard or quarantine + messages by using those values as second argument. + Patches from Nelson Fung. + CONTRIB: cidrexpand uses a hash symbol as comment character and + ignores everything after it unless it is in quotes or + preceeded by a backslash. + DEVTOOLS: New macro confMKDIR: if set to a program that creates + directories, then it used for "make install" to create + the required installation directories. + DEVTOOLS: New macro confCCLINK to specify the linker to use for + executables (defaults to confCC). + LIBMILTER: A new version of the milter API has been created that + has several changes which are listed below and documented + in the webpages reachable via libmilter/docs/index.html. + LIBMILTER: The meaning of the version macro SMFI_VERSION has been + changed. It now refers only to the version of libmilter, + not to the protocol version (which is used only internally, + it is not user/milter-programmer visible). Additionally, + a version function smfi_version() has been introduced such + that a milter program can check the libmilter version also + at runtime which is useful if a shared library is used. + LIBMILTER: A new callback xxfi_negotiate() can be used to + dynamically (i.e., at runtime) determine the available + protocol actions and features of the MTA and also to + specify which of these a milter wants to use. This allows + for more flexibility than hardcoding these flags in the + xxfi_flags field of the smfiDesc structure. + LIBMILTER: A new callback xxfi_data() is available so milters + can act on the DATA command. + LIBMILTER: A new callback xxfi_unknown() is available so milters + can receive also unknown SMTP commands. + LIBMILTER: A new return code SMFIS_NOREPLY has been added which + can be used by the xxfi_header() callback provided the + milter requested the SMFIP_NOHREPL protocol action. + LIBMILTER: The new return code SMFIS_SKIP can be used in the + xxfi_body() callback to skip over further body chunks + and directly advance to the xxfi_eom() callback. This + is useful if a milter can make a decision based on the + body chunks it already received without reading the entire + rest of the body and the milter wants to invoke functions + that are only available from the xxfi_eom() callback. + LIBMILTER: A new function smfi_addrcpt_par() can be used to add + new recipients including ESMTP parameters. + LIBMILTER: A new function smfi_chgfrom() can be used to change the + envelope sender including ESMTP parameters. + LIBMILTER: A milter can now request to be informed about rejected + recipients (RCPT) too. This requires to set the protocol + flag SMFIP_RCPT_REJ during option negotiation. Whether + a RCPT has been rejected can be checked by comparing the + value of the macro {rcpt_mailer} with "error". + LIBMILTER: A milter can now override the list of macros that it + wants to receive from the MTA for each protocol step + by invoking the function smfi_setsymlist() during option + negotiation. + LIBMILTER: A milter can receive header field values with all + leading spaces by requesting the SMFIP_HDR_LEADSPC + protocol action. Also, if the flag is set then the MTA + does not add a leading space to headers that are added, + inserted, or replaced. + LIBMILTER: If a milter sets the reply code to "421" for the HELO + callback, the SMTP server will terminate the SMTP session + with that error to match the behavior of all other callbacks. + New Files: + cf/feature/badmx.m4 + cf/feature/block_bad_helo.m4 + cf/feature/require_rdns.m4 + devtools/M4/UNIX/check.m4 + include/sm/misc.h + include/sm/sendmail.h + include/sm/tailq.h + libmilter/docs/smfi_addrcpt_par.html + libmilter/docs/smfi_setsymlist.html + libmilter/docs/xxfi_data.html + libmilter/docs/xxfi_negotiate.html + libmilter/docs/xxfi_unknown.html + libmilter/example.c + libmilter/monitor.c + libmilter/worker.c + libsm/memstat.c + libsm/t-memstat.c + libsm/t-qic.c + libsm/util.c + sendmail/daemon.h + sendmail/map.h + 8.13.8/8.13.8 2006/08/09 Fix a regression in 8.13.7: if shared memory is activated, then the server can erroneously report that there is @@ -1317,7 +1585,7 @@ summary of the changes in that release.
