The V5.61 sendmail plus IDA enhancements is available for anon-FTP from
uxc.cso.uiuc.edu (10.6.0.94 and 130.126.174.50). The file name in the
/pub directory is sendmail-5.61+IDA.tar.Z . Several changes were made
to cope with our local environment:
Routing falls through to pathalias data if the best MX record points to
the local machine.
Rather than cycle through 5 second sleeps when the load average is too high,
return a 421 error to make the connection go away for a while.
Added the no-op TICK command to cope with batch SMTP from our BBT (Big Blue
Thing).
Minor changes for installation on SUN3, SUN4, and Pyramid machines. Pre-
compiled executables for those machines can be found in the pub directory.
I use these for upgrading the various UIUC machines. No warranty here.
Everything changed from the vanilla distribution has been recorded with RCS.
V5.61 is the smoothest installing sendmail I've ever come across. The people
at Berkeley have done a real professional job on this release.

The > people at Berkeley have done a real professional job on this release. It's not so easy for me. First, I had to steal sysexits.h from the 5.59 distribution, because the version on my system is 4.2 instead of 4.4, and 4.2 doesn't have EX_CONFIG defined. Secondly, my system doesn't have unsetenv(). What should I do about this? I don't find it on any of my Vaxen (running Mt. Xinu, a derivative of BSD4.3) or the Suns (running SunOS 3.5). I note that these calls to unsetenv() materialized sometime after v5.54. First, TZ is unset at the top of main() to "Enforce use of local time". Second, HOSTALIASES is unset while parsing the arguments if running in daemon mode (-bp) or queue mode (-q). What should I do about this? Write my own unsetenv() (it's not that hard), or steal the code from elsewhere, or comment these out? Thanks for any help. -- Mark Sirota - University of Rochester, Rochester, NY Internet: msir@cc.rochester.edu Bitnet: msir_ss@uordbv.bitnet UUCP: ...!rochester!ur-cc!msir

It's not a clean build on ULTRIX 3.0, either. I first got an undefined for NO_DATA (apparently it lives in netdb.h). I hacked in a #define for it just see how far I could get and I got another undefined, although I can't remember it right now. I also got a mismatch warning about a return code from signal (which is now a void on ULTRIX) and other warnings about things being redfined (s_host, I think). Does anyone have a version that will build cleanly on ULTRIX? The version of sendmail that comes with it is, as far as I can see, broken a number of ways. -- Leonard J.

The problem with NO_DATA seems to come from the fact that you are not running BIND 4.8. With the new netdb.h and other header files from BIND 4.8, these problems go away. -- Juergen Wagner gandalf@csli.stanford.edu wagner@arisia.xerox.com

Most of the missing pieces for non-4.3 systems can be found in the support directory. /pbp [1.2.8 eh? Time to go fishing at xerox..... ]
