the value...")

"prevent a string" The following parts of section 18.3 have been updated:

"sendmail" to "m4(1)"

from "Everything to the left of the rightmost exclamation point is taken as the full UUCP path for delivery." to "The host to the left of the leftmost exclamation point is taken as the next hop in the UUCP path for delivery." Plus, in the 3rd sentence, changed "path" to "host".

replaced para. 1 ("V8 sendmail...") through para. 2 ("When you cd...") with: The latest release of sendmail is available via: http://www.sendmail.org/current-release.html Down-loading the source requires you to select one from many listed files. In addition to version, you may choose between two forms of compressed tar(1) distributions. Those that end in .Z are compressed with UNIX compress(1); those that end in .gz are compressed with GNU gzip(1). The latter is the preferred form because the file is smaller and quicker to transfer. ("sendmail", "tar", ".Z", "compress", ".gz", and "gzip" should be in italics.) para. 3, line 2, after "PGP signature file" added the following footnote: Further information about how to use PGP can be found in PGP: Pretty Good Privacy, by Simon Garfinkel, O'Reilly & Associates, http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/pgp/. (booktitle and URL should be in italics.) para. 3, line 3: changed "pre-V8.6 distribution" to "pre-V8.5 and earlier distribution"

and certify that key with his PGP fingerprint: with this new text (here's the troff): For V8.6 and above, you down-load a special fIsigning keyfR from fIwww.sendmail.orgfR, instead of Eric's key. The fingerprint for the fIsigning keyfR is: .Ps f(CWCA AE F2 94 3B 1D 41 3C 94 7B 72 5F AE 0B 6A 11fR .Pe The fingerprint for Eric's key is:

replaced code block 2 with pgp -ka /tmp/eric.asc <- for pgp version 2.x pgpk -a /tmp/eric.asc <- for pgp version 5.x ("<- for pgp version 2.x" and "<- for pgp version 5.x" are line notations and should be in italics.) replaced code block 3 with CA AE F2 94 3B 1D 41 3C 94 7B 72 5F AE 0B 6A 11 <- 1997 F9 32 40 A1 3B 3A B6 DE B2 98 6A 70 AF 54 9D 26 <- 1998 ("<- 1997" and "<- 1998" are line notations and should be in italics.) replaced code block 4 with C0 28 E6 7B 13 5B 29 02 6F 7E 43 3A 48 4F 45 29 <- V8.5 and earlier ("<- V8.5 and earlier" is a line notation and should be in italics.) replaced code block 5 with pgp signature-file <- for pgp version 2.x pgpv signature-file here <- for pgp version 5.x ("signature-file" and "signature-file here" are replaceables and should be in constant-width italics. "<- for pgp version 2.x" and "<- for pgp version 5.x" are line notations and should be in italics.) para. 6, changed to If the uncompressed tar file is good, pgp(1) will report that the signature is valid. deleted code block 6: "Good signature from user..."

sender too" to "The recipient too"

The code snippet in the middle of the page did read: define(`MASQUERADE_AS', `your.hub.domain') FEATURE(`allmasquerade') Now reads: MASQUERADE_AS(`your.hub.domain') FEATURE(`allmasquerade')

The list of domains is added to the class $=B, and the members of that class are looked up in place of those in $=w. to: The list of domains is added to the class $=B. Only hosts in those domains are allowed to list your site as the best MX record for use with this feature.

"sex.bogus.site.com" twice

paragraph above the one one that begins "You declare ....": Also note that virtual domains in the key (such as f(CW@fictional.comfR) must be added to class f(CWwfR in order for them to be recognized as local.

The m4 line also causes special rules to be added; consequently, just modifiying the cf file will not work. ("m4", "cf", and "not" are in italics.)

"rule set 6 (with $>6) before returning." to "rule set 96 (with f(CW$>96fR) before returning."

$=W is set aside to hold lists of locally connected hosts that will later be declared with site." into "The class $=W is set aside to hold lists of hosts that appear locally connected. This class is also used with the SITE macro." with "$=W" in CW font

RealHostAddr.sin.sin_addr.saddr Into: RealHostAddr.sin.sin_addr.s_addr

Deleted phrase: , nor does it expect f(CWRealHostAddrfR to be s-1NULLs0.

If nothing is specified ... becomes Y. With this new paragraph (here's the troff): If nothing is specified, the class becomes f(CWYfR. If class f(CWUfR is specified in the third parameter, the second parameter is assumed to be the s-1UUCPs0 name of the local site, rather than the name of a remote site. In this latter case, the specified local name has a s-1.UUCPs0 appended, and the result is added to class f(CW$=wfR.

now reads: "If TCPWRAPPERS is defined.."

find ${QUEUE} -type f -name qf* -print | while read QF with for QF in `find ${QUEUE} -type f -name "qf*" -print`

"The '-oTimeout.queuereturn=99d' causes . . . " It now reads: -OTimeout.queuereturn=99d

to "23.9.10"

"greater than 0"

Added this new sentence just before the last: If the f(CWNfR is absent, but an f(CWSfR, f(CWFfR, or f(CWDfR is present, s-1DSNs0 information will not be propagated.

The f(CIuserfR specifies either final delivery to a user's mail spool file (via the fI~/^.forwardfR file), or one step in further aliasing. to The f(CIuserfR specifies either final delivery to a user's mail spool file (via the fI~/^.forwardfR file), or delivery to a new address (e.g. fIuser@newsitefR), or one step in further aliasing.

one that starts: "The proto= syslog equate ..."

and split that paragraph at "Set the SmtpGreetingMessage..." to form a new paragraph with the heading "0-6"

and line 2: changed "showed" to "will show" and "rules are" to "rules can be"

Changed: Pjunk Into: Pjunk=-100

Changed: (pass8bit) Into: (pass 8)

to the end of the sentence: "after having been rewritten by rule set 3"

Inserted "effective" in two places in: as the user and group specified To form: as the effective user and effective group specified

In both instances, the real s-1GIDs0 and s-1UIDs0 remain that of the receiving user --that is, the f(CWF=SfR flag acts like the s-1UNIXs0 fIsuidfR and fIsgidfR bits.

Changed: ... signifies the end of the message. Into: ... have that dot doubled. also Deleted the 2 sentences: Ordinarily, s-1SMTPs0 would interpret the first of those lines as the end of the mail message. To prevent that misinterpretation, it is necessary to double the leading dot in transmission

Changed: relay_host Into: relayhost

Changed: (and performed aliasing for a local sender) Into: (possibly aliased)

Changed: f(CW$jfR is also used in the f(CWMessage-Id:fR header definition. Into: f(CW$jfR is also used: in the f(CWMessage-Id:fR header definition; and as the canonical host-name following .IX HELO the s-1HELOs0 or s-1EHLOs0 command.

Changed: %[^#] Into: %[^#]

Appended new sentence to end of paragraph: The f(CW\fR character prevents fIsendmailfR from treating the f(CW#fR as a comment character.

(added the backslash, which is also in constant width.)

Changed: server1@domain2.edu Into: server1.domain2.edu

Changed: R$+ . $=X $* Into: R$+ $=X $*

Changed: OldStyleHeaders (g) Into: OldStyleHeaders (o)

Changed: Boolean Into: Character

following table 34-10: The fIsendmailfR program checks its connection cache just before opening up a new connection to a host. If the cache contains an entry for that host, fIsendmailfR sends an s-1SMTP RSETs0 command to the host to make sure the connection is still active. If the s-1SMTP RSETs0 succeeds, the connection is re-used. If the s-1SMTP RSETs0 times out (see (sc#sOPTION_Timeout_rset, the f(CWTimeout.rsetfR option), or fails, or if the host was not in the cache, an new connection is made.

Changed: The sendmail program offers three .... Into: The sendmail program offers four ....

following after "get duplicate deliveries": Note that the F=M flag on local delivery will try as many recipients as possible before checkpointing, even if that number is greater than the value of this CheckpointInterval option. with "F=M" and "CheckpointInterval" in CW font

Note that compiling with s-1MIME8TO1=1s0 (see (sc#sCOMPILE_MIME8TO7) causes s-1ESMTPs0 to always advertise s-18BITMIMEs0.

Changed: $f Into: $x

Changed: ... command line shorthand Into: ... command line shorthand (deprecated)

define('confMAX_DAEMON_CHILDREN',`(CInum') <- V8 m4 technique it is now: define('confMAX_DAEMON_CHILDREN',`num') <- V8 m4 technique

"NoRecipientAction=add-undisclosed" to "NoRecipientAction=add-to-undisclosed"

Changed: (which could involve recreating a freeze file) Into: (which prior to V8 could involve creating a freeze file)

changed "Version 7 and above configuration files defer the decision" to "Starting with V8.7, sendmail defers the decision"; also, in the third paragraph from end, added a new sentence to then end of the paragraph: DNS is now only considered canonical if the dns service is listed for hosts in the ServiceSwitchFile. with "dns", "hosts", and "ServiceSwitchFile" in CW

Changed: recipients is the number of recipients specified in the To:, Cc: and Bcc: header lines (after alias expansion), Into: recipients is either the number of recipients in the envelope or (with -t) the number of recipients specified in the To:, Cc: and Bcc: header lines (after alias expansion),

But note that V8 fIsendmailfR will remove the f(CWFull-Name:fR header if the f(CWF=xfR flag (see (sc#sAGENTM_x) is set for the recipient's delivery agent.

Changed: ... added to the end of the list .... Into: ... added to the top of the list ....

Changed: When fIsendmailfR bounces a mail message, it needs to create headers that probably didn't exist before. It uses the fIputheaderfR|(|) routine to create them. Into: The fIsendmailfR program uses fIputheaderfR|(|) to create headers that didn't exist before.

Changed: Each header line created for the bounced message is displayed Into: Each header line created is displayed

Changed: This is the base (offset) of types 16 through 16+fInfP, where fInfP is the maximum number of connections as defined with the f(CWConnectionCacheSizefR (f(CWkfR) option (see (sc#sOPTIONConnectionCacheSize). Into: This is the base (offset) of types 16 through 16+fInfP, where fInfP is 16 plus s-1MAXMAILERSs0 as defined in fIconf.hfR.
