UNCONFIRMED errors and comments from readers:


[250]  In Table 19-4, the description for "allmasquerade" reads: 

	"Masquerade the sender too" 

Should read: 

	"Masquerade the recipient too"



{263}  The first line of the description of how to use the limited_masquerade 
feature now reads:

	define(`MASQUERADE_AS', `our.domain')

Given similar errata for the allmasquerade feature (see http://www.oreilly.com/
catalog/9781565922228/errata/sendmail2.1200), this should read:

    	MASQUERADE_AS(`our.domain')

Also, in the last line of this code block:

	MASQUERADE_DOMAIN(our.domain his.domain)

should read:

	MASQUERADE_DOMAIN(`our.domain his.domain')


[346]  2nd paragraph;
The first sentence reads:
"The real hostname is then used as the sending hostname in the construction of all
headers."

This is incorrect. It uses the false name as the following example illustrates. The
sentence should read:
"The false hostname is used as the sending hostname in the construction of all
headers."

I looked through the errata for the various printings, and did not see a correction
for this error.


[447]  26.2.2, 2nd paragraph - please add the following (maybe as a footnote?):

	Note that 'mailstats' rounds both the 'bytes' fields up or down to the 
	nearest K. Therefore, the values shown by the program will be close to,
	but not exactly the same as, the sum of the 'size=' values shown in the
	syslog.


[494]  Figure 29-1;
Figure 29-1 is a repetition of Figure 28-1 (page 473).  Therefore Figure 29-1 
is shown as figure 30-1 on page 534.  I can't find the correct figure 30-1.
