Thanks to Alain Durand of + INRIA for forwarding me the notice from the bugtraq + list. + +8.6.6/8.6.6 94/03/13 + SECURITY: the ability to give files away on System V-based + systems proved dangerous -- don't run as the owner + of a :include: file on a system that allows giveaways. + Unfortunately, this also applies to determining a + valid shell. + IMPORTANT: Previous versions weren't expiring old connections + in the connection cache for a long time under some + circumstances. This could result in resource exhaustion, + both at your end and at the other end. This checks the + connections for timeouts much more frequently. From + Doug Anderson of NCSC. + Fix a glitch that snuck in that caused programs to be run as + the sender instead of the recipient if the mail was + from a local user to another local user. From + Motonori Nakamura of Kyoto University. + Fix "wildcard" on /etc/shell matching -- instead of looking + for "*", look for "/SENDMAIL/ANY/SHELL/". From + Bryan Costales of ICSI. + Change the method used to declare the "statfs" availability; + instead of HASSTATFS and/or HASUSTAT with a ton of + tweaking in conf.c, there is a single #define called + SFS_TYPE which takes on one of six values (SFS_NONE + for no statfs availability, SFS_USTAT for the ustat(2) + syscall, SFS_4ARGS for a four argument statfs(2) call, + and SFS_VFS, SFS_MOUNT, or SFS_STATFS for a two argument + statfs(2) call with the declarations in <sys/vfs.h>, + <sys/mount.h>, or <sys/statfs.h> respectively). + Fix glitch in NetInfo support that could return garbage if + there was no "/locations/sendmail" property. From + David Meyer of the University of Virginia. + Change HASFLOCK from defined/not-defined to a 0/1 definition + to allow Linux to turn it off even though it is a + BSD-like system. + Allow setting of "ident" timeout to zero to turn off the ident + protocol entirely. + Make 7-bit stripping local to a connection (instead of to a + mailer); this allows you to specify that SMTP is a + 7-bit channel, but revert to 8-bit should it advertise + that it supports 8BITMIME. You still have to specify + mailer flag 7 to get this stripping at all. + Improve makesendmail script so it handles more cases automatically. + Tighten up restrictions on taking ownership of :include: files + to avoid problems on systems that allow you to give away + files. + Fix a problem that made it impossible to rebuild the alias + file if it was on a read-only file system. From + Harry Edmon of the University of Washington. + Improve MX randomization function. From John Gardiner Myers + of CMU. + Fix a minor glitch causing a bogus message to be printed (used + %s instead of %d in a printf string for the line number) + when a bad queue file was read. From Harry Edmon. + Allow $s to remain NULL on locally generated mail. I'm not + sure this is necessary, but a lot of people have complained + about it, and there is a legitimate question as to whether + "localhost" is legal as an 822-style domain. + Fix a problem with very short line lengths (mailer L= flag) in + headers. This causes a leading space to be added onto + continuation lines (including in the body!), and also + tries to wrap headers containing addresses (From:, To:, + etc) intelligently at the shorter line lengths. Problem + Reported by Lars-Johan Liman of SUNET Operations Center. + Log the real user name when logging syserrs, since these can have + security implications. Suggested by several people. + Fix address logging of cached connections -- it used to always + log the numeric address as zero. This is a somewhat + bogus implementation in that it does an extra system + call, but it should be an inexpensive one. Fix from + Motonori Nakamura. + Tighten up handling of short syslog buffers even more -- there + were cases where the outgoing relay= name was too long + to share a line with delay= and mailer= logging. + Limit the overhead on split envelopes to one open file descriptor + per envelope -- previously the overhead was three + descriptors. This was in response to a problem reported + by P{r (Pell) Emanuelsson. + Fixes to better handle the case of unexpected connection closes; + this redirects the output to the transcript so the info + is not lost. From Eric Wassenaar. + Fix potential string overrun if you macro evaluate a string that + has a naked $ at the end. Problem noted by James Matheson + <jmrm@eng.cam.ac.uk>. + Make default error number on $#error messages 553 (``Requested + action not taken: mailbox name not allowed'') instead of + 501 (``Syntax error in parameters or arguments'') to + avoid bogus "protocol error" messages. + Strip off any existing trailing dot on names during $[ ... $] + lookup. This prevents it from ending up with two dots + on the end of dot terminated names. From Wesley Craig + of the University of Michigan and Bryan Costales of ICSI. + Clean up file class reading so that the debugging information is + more informative. It hadn't been using setclass, so you + didn't see the class items being added. + Avoid core dump if you are running a version of sendmail where + NIS is compiled in, and you specify an NIS map, but + NIS is not running. Fix from John Oleynick of + Rutgers. + Diagnose bizarre case where res_search returns a failure value, + but sets h_errno to a success value. + Make sure that "too many hops" messages are considered important + enough to send an error to the Postmaster (that is, the + address specified in the P option). This fix should + help problems that cause the df file to be left around + sometimes -- unfortunately, I can't seem to reproduce + the problem myself. + Avoid core dump (null pointer reference) on EXPN command; this + only occurred if your log level was set to 10 or higher + and the target account was an alias or had a .forward file. + Problem noted by Janne Himanka. + Avoid "denial of service" attacks by someone who is flooding your + SMTP port with bad commands by shutting the connection + after 25 bad commands are issued. From Kyle Jones of + UUNET. + Fix core dump on error messages with very long "to" buffers; + fmtmsg overflows the message buffer. Fixed by trimming + the to address to 203 characters. Problem reported by + John Oleynick. + Fix configuration for HASFLOCK -- there were some spots where + a #ifndef was incorrectly #ifdef. Pointed out by + George Baltz of the University of Maryland. + Fix a typo in savemail() that could cause the error message To: + lists to be incorrect in some places. From Motonori + Nakamura. + Fix a glitch that can cause duplicate error messages on split + envelopes where an address on one of the lists has a + name server failure. Fix from Voradesh Yenbut of the + University of Washington. + Fix possible bogus pointer reference on ESMTP parameters that + don't have an ``=value'' part. + CNAME loops caused an error message to be generated, but also + re-queued the message. Changed to just re-queue the + message (it's really hard to just bounce it because + of the wierd way the name server works in the presence + of CNAME loops). Problem noted by James M.R.Matheson + of Cambridge University. + Avoid giving ``warning: foo owned process doing -bs'' messages + if they use ``MAIL FROM:<foo>'' where foo is their true + user name. Suggested by Andreas Stolcke of ICSI. + Change the NAMED_BIND compile flag to be a 0/1 flag so you can + override it easily in the Makefile -- that is, you can + turn it off using -DNAMED_BIND=0. + If a gethostbyname(...) of an address with a trailing dot fails, + try it without the trailing dot. This is because if + you have a version of gethostbyname() that falls back + to NIS or the /etc/hosts file it will fail to find + perfectly reasonable names that just don't happen to + be dot terminated in the hosts file. You don't want to + strip the dot first though because we're trying to ensure + that country names that match one of your subdomains get + a chance. + PRALIASES: fix bogus output on non-null-terminated strings. + From Bill Gianopoulos of Raytheon. + CONFIG: Avoid rewriting anything that matches $w to be $j. + This was in code intended to only catch the self-literal + address (that is, [1.2.3.4], where 1.2.3.4 is your + IP address), but the code was broken. However, it will + still do this if $M is defined; this is necessary to + get client configurations to work (sigh). Note that this + means that $M overrides :mailname entries in the user + database! Problem noted by Paul Southworth. + CONFIG: Fix definition of Solaris help file location. From + Steve Cliffe <steve@gorgon.cs.uow.edu.au>. + CONFIG: Fix bug that broke news.group.USENET mappings. + CONFIG: Allow declaration of SMTP_MAILER_MAX, FAX_MAILER_MAX, + and USENET_MAILER_MAX to tweak the maximum message + size for various mailers. + CONFIG: Change definition of USENET_MAILER_ARGS to include argv[0] + instead of assuming that it is "inews" for consistency + with other mailers. From Michael Corrigan of UC San Diego. + CONFIG: When mail is forwarded to a LOCAL_RELAY or a MAIL_HUB, + qualify the address in the SMTP envelope as user@{relay|hub} + instead of user@$j. From Bill Wisner of The Well. + CONFIG: Fix route-addr syntax in nullrelay configuration set. + CONFIG: Don't turn off case mapping of user names in the local + mailer for IRIX. This was different than most every other + system. + CONFIG: Avoid infinite loops on certainly list:; syntaxes in + envelope. Noted by Thierry Besancon + <besancon@excalibur.ens.fr>. + CONFIG: Don't include -z by default on uux line -- most systems + don't want it set by default. Pointed out by Philippe + Michel of Thomson CSF. + CONFIG: Fix some bugs with mailertables -- for example, if your + host name was foo.bar.ray.com and you matched against + ".ray.com", the old implementation bound %1 to "bar" + instead of "foo.bar". Also, allow "." in the mailertable + to match anything -- essentially, take over SMART_HOST. + This also moves matching of explicit local host names + before the mailertable so they don't have to be special + cased in the mailertable data. Reported by Bill + Gianopoulos of Raytheon; the fix for the %1 binding + problem was contributed by Nicholas Comanos of the + University of Sydney. + CONFIG: Don't include "root" in class $=L (users to deliver + locally, even if a hub or relay exists) by default. + This is because of the known bug where definition of + both a LOCAL_RELAY and a MAIL_HUB causes $=L to ignore + both and deliver into the local mailbox. + CONFIG: Move up bitdomain and uudomain handling so that they + are done before .UUCP class matching; uudomain was + reported as ineffective before. This also frees up + diversion 8 for future use. Problem reported by Kimmo + Suominen. + CONFIG: Don't try to convert dotted IP address (e.g., [1.2.3.4]) + into host names. As pointed out by Jonathan Kamens, + these are often used because either the forward or reverse + mapping is broken; this translation makes it broken again. + DOC: Clarify $@ and $: in the Install & Op Guide. From Kimmo + Suominen. + Portability fixes: + Unicos from David L. Kensiski of Sterling Sofware. + DomainOS from Don Lewis of Silicon Systems. + GNU m4 1.0.3 from Karst Koymans of Utrecht University. + Convex from Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>. + NetBSD from Adam Glass <glass@sun-lamp.cs.berkeley.edu>. + BSD/386 from Tony Sanders of BSDI. + Apollo from Eric Wassenaar. + DGUX from Doug Anderson. + Sequent DYNIX/ptx 2.0 from Tim Wright of Sequent. + NEW FILES: + src/Makefile.DomainOS + src/Makefile.PTX + src/Makefile.SunOS.5.1 + src/Makefile.SunOS.5.2 + src/Makefile.SunOS.5.x + src/mailq.1 + cf/ostype/domainos.m4 + doc/op/Makefile + doc/intro/Makefile + doc/usenix/Makefile + +8.6.5/8.6.5 94/01/13 + Security fix: /.forward could be owned by anyone (the test + to allow root to own any file was backwards). From + Bob Campbell at U.C. Berkeley. + Security fix: group ids were not completely set when programs + were invoked. This caused programs to have group + permissions they should not have had (usually group + daemon instead of their own group). In particular, + Perl scripts would refuse to run. + Security: check to make sure files that are written are not + symbolic links (at least under some circumstances). + Although this does not respond to a specific known + attack, it's just a good idea. Suggested by + Christian Wettergren. + Security fix: if a user had an NFS mounted home directory on + a system with a restricted shell listed in their + /etc/passwd entry, they could still execute any + program by putting that in their .forward file. + This fix prevents that by insisting that their shell + appear in /etc/shells before allowing a .forward to + execute a program or write a file. You can disable + this by putting "*" in /etc/shells. It also won't + permit world-writable :include: files to reference + programs or files (there's no way to disable this). + These behaviours are only one level deep -- for + example, it is legal for a world-writable :include: + file to reference an alias that writes a file, on + the assumption that the alias file is well controlled. + Security fix: root was not treated suspiciously enough when + looking into subdirectories. This would potentially + allow a cracker to examine files that were publically + readable but in a non-publically searchable directory. + Fix a problem that causes an error on QUIT on a cached + connection to create problems on the current job. + These are typically unrelated, so errors occur in + the wrong place. + Reset CurrentLA in sendall() -- this makes sendmail queue + runs more responsive to load average, and fixes a + problem that ignored the load average in locally + generated mail. From Eric Wassenaar. + Fix possible core dump on aliases with null LHS. From + John Orthoefer of BB&N. + Revert to using flock() whenever possible -- there are just + too many bugs in fcntl() locking, particularly over + NFS, that cause sendmail to fail in perverse ways. + Fix a bug that causes the connection cache to get confused + when sending error messages. This resulted in + "unexpected close" messages. It should fix itself + on the following queue run. Problem noted by + Liudvikas Bukys of Rochester University. + Include $k in $=k as documented in the Install & Op Guide. + This seems odd, but it was documented.... From + Michael Corrigan of UCSD. + Fix problem that caused :include:s from alias files to be + forced to be owned by root instead of daemon + (actually DefUid). From Tim Irvin. + Diagnose unrecognized I option values -- from Mortin Forssen + of the Chalmers University of Technology. + Make "error" mailer work consistently when there is no error + code associated with it -- previously it returned OK + even though there was a real problem. Now it assumes + EX_UNAVAILABLE. + Fix bug that caused the last header line of messages that had + no body and which were terminated with EOF instead of + "." to be discarded. Problem noted by Liudvikas Bukys. + Fix core dump on SMTP mail to programs that failed -- it tried + to go to a "next MX host" when none existed, causing + a core dump. From der Mouse at McGill University. + Change IDENTPROTO from a defined/not defined to a 0/1 switch; + this makes it easier to turn it off (using + -DIDENTPROTO=0 in the Makefile). From der Mouse. + Fix YP_MASTER_NAME store to use the unupdated result of + gethostname() (instead of myhostname(), which tries + to fully qualify the name) to be consistent with + SunOS. If your hostname is unqualified, this fixes + transfers to slave servers. Bug noted by Keith + McMillan of Ameritech Services, Inc. + Fix Ultrix problem: gethostbyname() can return a very large + (> 500) h_length field, which causes the sockaddr + to be trashed. Use the size of the sockaddr instead. + Fix from Bob Manson of Ohio State. + Don't assume "-a." on host lookups if NAMED_BIND is not + defined -- this confuses gethostbyname on hosts + file lookups, which doesn't understand the trailing + dot convention. + Log SMTP server subprocesses that die with a signal instead + of from a clean exit. + If you don't have option "I" set, don't assume that a DNS + "host unknown" message is authoritative -- it + might still be found in /etc/hosts. + Fix a problem that would cause Deferred: messages to be sent + as the subject of an error message, even though the + actual cause of a message was more severe than that. + Problem noted by Chris Seabrook of OSSI. + Fix race condition in DBM alias file locking. From Kyle + Jones of UUNET. + Limit delivery syslog line length to avoid bugs in some + versions of syslog(3). This adds a new compile time + variable SYSLOG_BUFSIZE. From Jay Plett of Princeton + University, which is in turn derived from IDA. + Fix quotes inside of comments in addresses -- previously + it insisted that they be balanced, but the 822 spec + says that they should be ignored. + Dump open file state to syslog upon receiving SIGUSR1 (for + debugging). This also evaluates ruleset 89, if set + (with the null input), and logs the result. This + should be used sparingly, since the rewrite process + is not reentrant. + Change -qI, -qR, and -qS flags to be case-insensitive as + documented in the Bat Book. + If the mailer returned EX_IOERR or EX_OSERR, sendmail did not + return an error message and did not requeue the message. + Fix based on code from Roland Dirlewanger of + Reseau Regional Aquarel, Bordeaux, France. + Fix a problem that caused a seg fault if you got a 421 error + code during some parts of connection initialization. + I've only seen this when talking to buggy mailers on + the other end, but it shouldn't give a seg fault in + any case. From Amir Plivatsky. + Fix core dump caused by a ruleset call that returns null. + Fix from Bryan Costales of ICSI. + Full-Name: field was being ignored. Fix from Motonori Nakamura + of Kyoto University. + Fix a possible problem with very long input lines in setproctitle. + From P{r Emanuelsson. + Avoid putting "This is a warning message" out on return receipts. + Suggested by Douglas Anderson. + Detect loops caused by recursive ruleset calls. Suggested by + Bryan Costales. + Initialize non-alias maps during alias rebuilds -- they may be + needed for parsing. Problem noted by Douglas Anderson. + Log sender address even if no message was collected in SMTP + (e.g., if all RCPTs failed). Suggested by Motonori + Nakamura. + Don't reflect the owner-list contents into the envelope sender + address if the value contains ", :, /, or | (to avoid + illegal addresses appearing there). + Efficiency hack for toktype macro -- from Craig Partridge of + BB&N. + Clean up DNS error printing so that a host name is always + included. + Remember to set $i during queue runs. Reported by Stephen + Campbell of Dartmouth University. + If ${HOSTALIASES} is set, use it during canonification so that + headers are properly mapped. Reported by Anne Bennett + of Concordia University. + Avoid printing misleading error message if SMTP mailer (not + using [IPC]) should die on a core dump. + Avoid incorrect diagnosis of "file 1 closed" when it is caused + by the other end closing the connection. From + Dave Morrison of Oracle. + Improve several of the error messages printed by "mailq" + to include a host name or other useful information. + Add NetInfo preliminary support for NeXT systems. From Vince + DeMarco. + Fix a glitch that sometimes caused :include:s that pointed to + NFS filesystems that were down to give an "aliasing/ + forwarding loop broken" message instead of queueing + the message for retry. Noted by William C Fenner of + the NRL Connection Machine Facility. + Fix a problem that could cause a core dump if the input sequence + had (or somehow acquired) a \231 character. + Make sure that route-addrs always have <angle brackets> around + them in non-SMTP envelopes (SMTP envelopes already do + this properly). + Avoid wierd headers on unbalanced punctuation of the form: + ``Joe User <user)'' -- this caused reference to the + null macro. Fix from Rick McCarty of IO.COM. + Fix a problem that caused an alias "user: user@local.host" to + not have the QNOTREMOTE bit set; this caused configs + to act as if FEATURE(notsticky) was defined even when + it was not. The effect of the problem was to make it + very hard to to set up satellite sites that had a few + local accounts, with everything else forwarded to a + corporate hub. Reported by Detlef Drewanz of the + University of Rostock and Mark Frost of NCD. + Change queuing to not call rulesets 3, {1 or 2}, 4 on header + addresses. This is more efficient (fewer name server + calls) and fixes certain unusual configurations, such + as those that have ruleset 4 do something that is + non-idempotent unless a mailer-specific ruleset did + something else. Problem reported by Brian J. Coan + of the Institute for Global Communications. + Fix the "obsolete argument" routine in main to better understand + new arguments. For example, if you used ``sendmail + -C config -v -q'' it would choke on the -q because + the -C would stop looking for old-format arguments. + Fix the code that was intended to allow two users to forward their + mail to the same program and have them appear unique. + Portability fixes for: + SCO UNIX from Murray Kucherawy. + SCO Open Server 3.2v4 from Philippe Brand. + System V Release 4 from Rick Ellis and others. + OSF/1 from Steve Campbell. + DG/UX from Ben Mesander of the USGS and Bryan Curnutt + of Stoner Associates. + Motorola SysV88 from Kevin Johnson of Motorola. + Solaris 2.3 from Casper H.S. Dik of the University + of Amsterdam and John Caruso of University + of Maryland. + FreeBSD from Ollivier Robert. + NetBSD from Adam Glass. + TitanOS from Kate Hedstrom of Rutgers University. + Irix from Bryan Curnutt. + Dynix from Jim Davis of the University of Arizona. + RISC/os. + Linux from John Kennedy of California State University + at Chico. + Solaris 2.x from Tony Boner of the U.S. Air Force. + NEXTSTEP 3.x from Vince DeMarco. + HP-UX from various people. NOTA BENE: the location + of the config file has moved to /usr/lib + to match the HP-UX version of sendmail. + CONFIG: Don't do any recipient rewriting on relay mailer; + since this is intended only for internal use, the + usual RFC 821/822/1123 rules can be relaxed. The + main point of this is to avoid munging (ugh) UUCP + addresses when relaying internally. + CONFIG: fix typo in mailer/uucp.m4 that mutilates list:; + syntax addresses delivered via UUCP. Solution + provided by Peter Wemm. + CONFIG: fix thumb-fumble in default UUCP relaying in ruleset + zero; it caused double @ signs in addresses. From + Irving Reid of the University of Toronto. + CONFIG: Portability fixes for SCO Unix 3.2 with TCP/IP 1.2.1 + from Markku Toijala of ICL Personal Systems Oy. + CONFIG: Add trailing "." on pseudo-domains for consistency; + this fixes a problem (noted by Al Whaley of Sunnyside) + that made it hard to recognize your own pseudodomain + names. + CONFIG: catch "@host" syntax errors (i.e., null local-parts) + rather than letting them get "local configuration + error"s. Problem noted by John Gardiner Myers. + CONFIG: add uucp-uudom mailer variant, based on code posted + by Spider Boardman <spider@Orb.Nashua.NH.US>; this + has uucp-dom semantics but old UUCP syntax. This + also permits "uucp-old" as an alias for "uucp" and + "uucp-new" as a synonym for "suucp" for consistency. + CONFIG: add POP mailer support (from Kimmo Suominen + <kim@grendel.lut.fi>). + CONFIG: drop CSNET_RELAY support -- CSNET is long gone. + CONFIG: fix bug caused with domain literal addresses (e.g., + ``[128.32.131.12]'') when FEATURE(allmasquerade) + was set; it would get an additional @masquerade.host + added to the address. Problem noted by Peter Wan + of Georgia Tech. + CONFIG: make sure that the local UUCP name is in $=w. From + Jim Murray of Stratus. + CONFIG: changes to UUCP rewriting to simulate IDA-style "V" + mailer flag. Briefly, if you are sending to host + "foo", then it rewrites "foo!...!baz" to "...!baz", + "foo!baz" remains "foo!baz", and anything else has + the local name prepended. + CONFIG: portability fixes for HP-UX. + DOC: several minor problems fixed in the Install & Op Guide. + MAKEMAP: fix core dump problem on lines that are too long or + which lack newline. From Mark Delany. + MAILSTATS: print sums of columns (total messages & kbytes + in and out of the system). From Tom Ferrin of UC + San Francisco Computer Graphics Lab. + SIGNIFICANT USER- OR SYSAD-VISIBLE CHANGES: + On HP-UX, /etc/sendmail.cf has been moved to + /usr/lib/sendmail.cf to match HP sendmail. + Permissions have been tightened up on world-writable + :include: files and accounts that have shells + that are not listed in /etc/shells. This may + cause some .forward files that have worked + before to start failing. + SIGUSR1 dumps some state to the log. + NEW FILES: + src/Makefile.DGUX + src/Makefile.Dynix + src/Makefile.FreeBSD + src/Makefile.Mach386 + src/Makefile.NetBSD + src/Makefile.RISCos + src/Makefile.SCO + src/Makefile.SVR4 + src/Makefile.Titan + cf/mailer/pop.m4 + cf/ostype/bsdi1.0.m4 + cf/ostype/dgux.m4 + cf/ostype/dynix3.2.m4 + cf/ostype/sco3.2.m4 + makemap/Makefile.dist + praliases/Makefile.dist + +8.6.4/8.6.4 93/10/31 + Repair core-dump problem (write to read-only memory segment) + if you fall back to the return-to-Postmaster case in + savemail. Problem reported by Richard Liu. + Immediately diagnose bogus sender addresses in SMTP. This + makes quite certain that crackers can't use this + class of attack. + Reliability Fix: check return value from fclose() and fsync() + in a few critical places. + Minor problem in initsys() that reversed a condition for + redirecting the output channel on queue runs. It's + not clear this code even does anything. From Eric + Wassenaar of the Dutch National Institute for Nuclear + and High-Energy Physics. + Fix some problems that caused queue runs to do "too much work", + such as double-reading the Errors-To: header. From + Eric Wassenaar. + Error messages on writing the temporary file (including the + data file) were getting suppressed in SMTP -- this + fix causes them to be properly reported. From Eric + Wassenaar. + Some changes to support AF_UNIX sockets -- this will only + really become relevant in the next release, but some + people need it for local patches. From Michael + Corrigan of UC San Diego. + Use dynamically allocated memory (instead of static buffers) + for macros defined in initsys() and settime(); since + these can have different values depending on which + envelope they are in. From Eric Wassenaar. + Improve logging to show ctladdr on to= logging; this tells you + what uid/gid processes ran as. + Fix a problem that caused error messages to be discarded if + the sender address was unparseable for some reason; + this was supposed to fall back to the "return to + postmaster" case. + Improve aliaswait backoff algorithm. + Portability patches for Linux (8.6.3 required another header + file) (from Karl London) and SCO UNIX. + CONFIG: patch prog mailer to not strip host name off of envelope + addresses (so that it matches local again). From + Christopher Davis. + CONFIG: change uucp-dom mailer so that "<>" translates to $n; + this prevents uux from seeing lines with null names like + ``From Sat Oct 30 14:55:31 1993''. From Motonori + Nakamura of Kyoto University. + CONFIG: handle <list:;> syntax correctly. This isn't legal, but + it shouldn't fail miserably. From Motonori Nakamura. + +8.6.3/8.6.3 93/10/24 + IMPORTANT FIX: Fix several problems that caused open files to + be "lost" during queue runs; this overflowed the open + file table on large runs. An assumption that fdopen + always succeeds sometimes resulted in core dumps when + this happens; sometimes the message is delivered twice, + sometimes (probably) infinite times. This problem in + various form was reported by P{r (Pell) Emanuelsson and + Robert Campbell of U.C. Berkeley. + Special diagnosis of EMFILE error conditions -- it now prints + the known open file descriptors so you can figure out + what is consuming so much resources. + Fix a couple of problems caused by early address parsing + errors -- one caused it to return a "this is only a + warning" when it really wasn't, and the other started + parsing through a random pointer. The first was + noted by Eric Wassenaar. + Fix an infinite loop problem caused by null components in the + host signature. Problem noted by Jan Sorensen. + Be sure to reset the "current date" when sending an error + message -- PostMasterCopy messages were being sent + with an old Date: header. + Fix a problem that caused duplicated mail when sendmail was + (1) compiled without HASFLOCK, (2) you are sending to + an alias that has an owner-* alias, (3) you execute + sendmail with -t flag, (4) you run in -odb mode, and + (5) the sender specifies both the alias name and + another alias [i.e., the envelope is split], then + duplicate messages are sent. The problem description + and one-line fix are from Motonori Nakamura of Kyoto + University. + Avoid a problem that causes error messages to be discarded + in some cases -- this was the result of a "fix" to + avoid duplicate error messages, but two are better + than zero. Reported by Tim Rylance. + Fix a minor botch in checkfd012() -- fix from Dave Hill of + Computervision R&D Ltd. + Remove "X-Authentication-Warning: <user> set sender to <address> + using -f" entirely -- it is far too eager to include + this, and it is confusing folks. I'll try to make it + work "right" in 8.7. Problem noted by Yoshitaka + Tokugawa of dit Co., Ltd. + Fix a race condition with the errno value in tick() and + reapchild() -- this caused occasional misdiagnosis + of problems. Kyle Jones of UUNET helped this along. + Repair rule loop-detection code. From Michael Corrigan of + U.C. San Diego. + Fix a problem that caused sender domain addition (C mailer + flag to be ignored if you use -odq or use -odb with + a high load average. Problem reported by Jim Murray + of Stratus. + Fix ident protocol on multi-homed machines. It was not + always using the correct interface. Fix from J.R. + Oldroyd of Opal. + Previously, sendmail assumed that any SMTP greeting message + that wasn't 2xx was a temporary failure -- it should + only take 4xx as a temporary failure, and return a + solid error message on anything else -- for example, + to allow you to reject connections on a workstation + that is MXed to a mail server. + Portability enhancements for 386BSD/FreeBSD/NetBSD from + Ollivier Robert. + CONFIG: FEATURE(always_add_domain) didn't always add the domain; + in particular, on local mail it modified the header sender + but not the header recipient address(es). Reported by + Jeffrey Honig of Cornell University. Also, strip + any host from envelope recipient address(es), since + local mailers don't understand host names -- this is + to help mailertable entries. From Christopher Davis. + CONFIG: masquerading didn't apply to addresses that already + had a domain. This change replaces a local hostname + by the masquerade name in the SMTP mailer (previously + it only added the masquerade name if it didn't already + have a domain name). Several people complained about + this. + +8.6.2/8.6.2 93/10/15 + Put a "successful delivery" message in the transcript for + addresses that get return-receipts. + Put a prominent "this is only a warning" message in warning + messages -- some people don't read carefully enough + and end up sending the message several times. + Include reason for temporary failure in the "warning" return + message. Currently, it just says "cannot send for + four hours". + Fix the "Original message received" time generated for + returntosender messages. It was previously listed as + the current time. Bug reported by Eric Hagberg of + Cornell University Medical College. + If there is an error when writing the body of a message, + don't send the trailing dot and wait for a response + in sender SMTP, as this could cause the connection to + hang up under some bizarre circumstances. From Eric + Wassenaar. + Fix some server SMTP synchronization problems caused when + connections fail during message collection.

Problem reported by Jim Murray of + Stratus. + Fix a problem that can cause core dumps if the config file + incorrectly resolves to a null hostname. Reported by + Allan Johannesen of WPI. + Non-root use of -C flag, dangerous -f flags, and use of -oQ + by non-root users were not put into + X-Authentication-Warning:s as intended because the + config file hadn't set the PrivacyFlags yet.

From Takahiro + Kanbe. + Fix error recovery in queueup if another tf file of the same + name already exists. Problem stumbled over by Bill + Wisner of The Well. + Output YP_MASTER_NAME and YP_LAST_MODIFIED without null bytes. + Problem noted by Keith McMillan of Ameritech Services. + Deal with group permissions properly when opening .forward and + :include: files. This relaxes the 8.1C restrictions + slightly more. This includes proper setting of groups + when reading :include: files, allowing you to read some + files that you should be able to read but have previously + been denied unless you owned them or they had "other" + read permission. + Make certain that $j is in $=w (after the .cf is read) so that + if the user is forced to override some silly system, + MX suppression will still work. + Fix a couple of efficiency problems where newstr was double- + calling expensive routines. In at least one case, it + wasn't guaranteed that they would always return the + same result. Problem noted by Christophe Wolfhugel. + Fix null pointer dereference in putoutmsg -- only on an error + condition from a non-SMTP mailer. From Motonori + Nakamura. + Macro expand "C" line class definitions before scanning so that + "CX $Z" works. + Fix problem that caused error message to be sent while still + trying to send the original message if the connection + is closed during a DATA command after getting an error + on an RCPT command (pretty obscure). Problem reported + by John Myers of CMU. + Fix reply to NOOP to be 250 instead of 200 -- this is a long + term bug. + Fix a nasty bug causing core dumps when returning the "warning: + cannot deliver for N hours -- will keep trying" message; + it only occurred if you had PostMasterCopy set and + only on some architectures. Although sendmail would + keep trying, it would send error messages on each + queue interval. This is an important fix. + Allow u and g options to take user and group names respectively. + Don't do a chdir into the queue directory in -bt mode to make + ruleset testing a bit easier. + Don't allow users to turn off logging (using -oL) on the command + line -- command line can only raise, not lower, logging + level. + Set $u to the original recipient on the SMTP transaction or on + the command line. This is only done if there is exactly + one recipient. Technically, this does not meet the + specs, because it does not guarantee a domain on the + address. + Fix a problem that dumped error messages on bad addresses if + you used the -t flag. Problem noted by Josh Smith of + Harvey Mudd College. + Given an address such as ``<foo> <bar>'', auto-quote the first + ``<foo>'' part, giving ``"<foo>" <bar>''. This is to + avoid the problem of people who use angle brackets in + their full name information. + Fix a null pointer dereference if you set option "l", have + an Errors-To: header in the message, and have Errors-To: + defined in the config file H lines. From J.R. Oldroyd. + Put YPCOMPAT on #ifdef NIS instead -- it's one less thing to get + wrong when compiling. Suggested by Rick McCarty of TI. + Fix a problem that could pass negative SIZE parameter if the + df file got lost; this would cause servers to always + give a temporary failure, making the problem even worse. + Problem noted by Allan Johannesen of WPI. + Add "ident" timeout (one of the "r" option selectors) for IDENT + protocol timeouts (30s default). Requested by Murray + Kucherawy of HookUp Communication Corp. to handle bogus + PC TCP/IP implementations. + Change $w default definition to be just the first component of + the domain name on config level 5. The $j macro defaults + to the FQDN; $m remains as before. This lets well-behaved + config files use any of the short, long, or subdomain + names. + Add makesendmail script in src to try to automate multi-architecture + builds. I know, this is sub-optimal, but it is still + helpful. + Fix very obscure race condition that can cause a queue run to + get a queue file for an already completed job. This + problem has existed for years. Problem noted by the + long suffering Allan Johannesen of WPI. + Fix a problem that caused the raw sender name to be passed to + udbsender instead of the canonified name -- this caused + it to sometimes miss records that it should have found. + Relax check of name on HELO packet so that a program using -bs + that claims to be itself works properly. + Restore rewriting of $: part of address through 2, R, 4 in + buildaddr -- this requires passing a lot of flags to get + it right. Unlike old versions, this ONLY rewrites + recipient addresses, not sender addresses. + Fix a bug that caused core dumps in config files that cannot + resolve /file/name style addresses. Fix from Jonathan + Kamens of OpenVision Technologies. + Fix problem with fcntl locking that can cause error returns to + be lost if the lock is lost; this required fully + queueing everything, dropping the envelope (so errors + would get returned), and then re-reading the queue from + scratch. + Fix a problem that caused aliases that redefine an otherwise + true address to still send to the original address + if and only if the alias failed in certain bizarre + ways (e.g, if they pointed at a list:; syntax address). + Problem pointed out by Jonathan Kamens. + Remove support for frozen configuration files. They caused + more trouble than it was worth. + Fix problem that can cause error messages to get ignored when + using both -odb and -t flags. Problem noted by Rob + McNicholas at U.C. Berkeley. + Include all "normal" variations on hostname in $=w. For example, + if the host name is vangogh.cs.berkeley.edu, $=w will + contain vangogh, vangogh.cs, and vangogh.cs.berkeley.edu. + Add "restrictqrun" privacy flag -- without this, anyone can run + the queue. + Reset SmtpPhase global on initial connection creation so that + messages don't come out with stale information. + Pass an "ext" argument to lockfile so that error/log messages + will properly reflect the true filename being locked. + Put all [...] address forms into $=w -- this eliminates the need + for MAXIPADDR in conf.h. Suggested by John Gardiner + Myers of CMU. + Fix a bug that can cause qf files to be left around even after + an SMTP RSET command. Problem and fix from Michael + Corrigan. + Don't send a PostMasterCopy to errors when the Precedence: is + negative. Error reports still go to the envelope + sender address. + Add LA_SHORT for load averages. + Lock sendmail.st file when posting statistics. + Add "SendBufSize" and "RcvBufSize" suboptions to "O" option to + set the size of the TCP send and receive buffers; if you + run over a slow slip line you may need to set these down + (although it would be better to fix the SLIP implementation + so that it's not necessary to recompile every program + that does bulk data transfer). + Allow null defaults on $( ... $) lookups. Problem reported by + Amir Plivatsky. + Diagnose crufty S and V config lines. This resulted from an + observation that some people were using the SITE macro + without the SITECONFIG macro first, which was causing + bogus config files that were not caught. + Fix makemap -f flag to turn off case folding (it was turning it + on instead). THIS IS A USER VISIBLE CHANGE!!! + Fix a problem that caused multiple error messages to be sent if + you used "sendmail -t -oem -odb", your system uses fcntl + locking, and one of the recipient addresses is unknown. + Reset uid earlier in include() so that recursive .forwards or + :include:s don't use the wrong uid. + If file descriptor 0, 1, or 2 was closed when sendmail was + called, the code to recover the descriptor was broken. + This sometimes (only sometimes) caused problems with the + alias file. Fix from Motonori Nakamura. + Fix a problem that caused aliaswait to go into infinite recursion + if the @:@ metasymbol wasn't found in the alias file. + Improve error message on newaliases if database files cannot be + opened or if running with no database format defined. + Do a better estimation of the size of error messages when NoReturn + is set. Problem noted by P{r (Pell) Emanuelsson. + Fix a problem causing the "c" option (don't connect to expensive + mailers) to be ignored in SMTP. Problem noted and the + solution suggested by Robert Elz of Munnari University. + Improve connection caching algorithm by passing "[host]" to + hostsignature, which strips the square brackets and + returns the real name. This allows mailertable entries + to match regular entries. + Re-enable Return-Receipt-To: -- people seem to want this stupid + feature, even if it doesn't work right. + Catch and log attempts to try the "wiz" command in server SMTP. + This also ups the log level from LOG_NOTICE to LOG_CRIT. + Be more generous at assigning $z to the home directory -- do this + for programs that are specified through a .forward file. + Fix from Andrew Chang of Sun Microsystems. + Always save a fatal error message in preference to a non-fatal + error message so that the "subject" line of return + messages is the best possible. + CONFIG: reduce the number of quotes needed to quote configuration + parameters with commas: two quotes should work now, e.g., + define(ALIAS_FILE, ``/etc/aliases,/etc/aliases.local''). + CONFIG: class $=Z is a set of UUCP hosts that use uucp-dom + connections (domain-ized UUCP). + CONFIG: fix bug in default maps (-o must be before database file + name). Pointed out by Christophe Wolfhugel. + CONFIG: add FEATURE(nodns) to state that we are not relying on + DNS. This would presumably be used in UUCP islands. + CONFIG: add OSTYPE(nextstep) and OSTYPE(linux). + CONFIG: log $u in Received: line. This is in technical violation + of the standards, since it doesn't guarantee a domain + on the address. + CONFIG: don't assume "m" in local mailer flags -- this means that + if you redefine LOCAL_MAILER_FLAGS you will have to include + the "m" flag should you want it. Apparently some Solaris 2.2 + installations can't handle multiple local recipients. + Problem noted by Josh Smith. + CONFIG: add confDOMAIN_NAME to set $j (if undefined, $j defaults). + CONFIG: change default version level from 4 to 5. + CONFIG: add FEATURE(nullclient) to create a config file that + forwards all mail to a hub without ever looking at the + addresses in any detail. + CONFIG: properly strip mailer: information off of relays when + used to change .BITNET form into %-hack form. + CONFIG: fix a problem that caused infinite loops if presented + with an address such as "!foo". + CONFIG: check for self literal (e.g., [128.32.131.12]) even if + the reverse "PTR" mapping is broken. There's a better + way to do this, but the change is fairly major and I + want to hold it for another release. Problem noted by + Bret Marquis. + +8.5/8.5 93/07/23 + Serious bug: if you used a command line recipient that was unknown + sendmail would not send a return message (it was treating + everything as though it had an SMTP-style client that + would do the return itself). Problem noted by Josh Smith. + Change "trymx" option in getcanonname() to ignore all MX data, + even during a T_ANY query. This actually didn't break + anything, because the only time you called getcanonname + with !trymx was if you already knew there were no MX + records, but it is somewhat cleaner. From Motonori + Nakamura. + Don't call getcanonname from getmxrr if you already know there + are no DNS records matching the name. + Fix a problem causing error messages to always include "The + original message was received ... from localhost". + The correct original host information is now included. + Previous change to cf/sh/makeinfo.sh doesn't port to Ultrix (their + version of "test" doesn't have the -x flag). Change it + to use -f instead. From John Myers. + CONFIG: 8.4 mistakenly set the default SMTP-style mailer to + esmtp -- it should be smtp. + CONFIG: send all relayed mail using confRELAY_MAILER (defaults + to "relay" (a variant of "smtp") if MAILER(smtp) is used, + else "suucp" if MAILER(uucp) is used, else "unknown"); + this cleans up the configs somewhat. This fixes a serious + problem that caused route-addrs to get mistaken as relays, + pointed out by John Myers. WARNING: this also causes + the default on SMART_HOST to change from "suucp" to + "relay" if you have MAILER(smtp) specified. + +8.4/8.4 93/07/22 + Add option `w'. If you receive a message that comes to you because + you are the best (lowest preference) target of an MX, and + you haven't explicitly recognized the source MX host in + your .cf file, this option will cause you to try the target + host directly (as if there were no MX for it at all). If + `w' is not set, this case is a configuration error. + Beware: if `w' is set, senders may get bogus errors like + "message timed out" or "host unknown" for problems that + are really configuration errors. This option is + disrecommended, provided only for compatibility with + UIUC sendmail. + Fix a problem that caused the incoming socket to be left open + when sendmail forks after the DATA command. This caused + calling systems to wait in FIN_WAIT_2 state until the + entire list was processed and the child closed -- a + potentially prodigious amount of time. Problem noted + by Neil Rickert. + Fix problem (created in 6.64) that caused mail sent to multiple + addresses, one of which was a bad address, to completely + suppress the sending of the message. This changes + handling of EF_FATALERRS somewhat, and adds an + EF_GLOBALERRS flag. This also fixes a potential problem + with duplicate error messages if there is a syntax error + in the header of a message that isn't noticed until late + in processing. Original problem pointed out by Josh Smith + of Harvey Mudd College. This release includes quite a bit + of dickering with error handling (see below). + Back out SMTP transaction if MAIL gets nested 501 error. This + will only hurt already-broken software and should help + humans. + Fix a problem that broke aliases when neither NDBM nor NEWDB were + compiled in. It would never read the alias file. + Repair unbalanced `)' and `>' (the "open" versions are already + repaired). + Logging of "done" in dropenvelope() was incorrect: it would + log this even when the queue file still existed. Change + this to only log "done" (at log level 11) when the + queue file is actually removed. From John Myers. + Log "lost connection" in server SMTP at log level 20 if there + is no pending transaction. Some senders just close the + connection rather than sending QUIT. + Fix a bug causing getmxrr to add a dot to the end of unqualified + domains that do not have MX records -- this would cause + the subsequent host name lookup to fail. The problem + only occurred if you had FEATURE(nocanonify) set. + Problem noted by Rick McCarty of Texas Instruments. + Fix invocation of setvbuf when passed a -X flag -- I had + unwittingly used an ANSI C extension, and this caused + core dumps on some machines. + Diagnose self-destructive alias loops on RCPT as well as EXPN. + Previously it just gave an empty send queue, which + then gave either "Need RCPT (recipient)" at the DATA + (confusing, since you had given an RCPT command which + returned 250) or just dropped the email, depending on + whether you were running VERBose mode. Now it usually + diagnoses this case as "aliasing/forwarding loop broken". + Unfortunately, it still doesn't adequately diagnose + some true error conditions. + Add internal concept of "warning messages" using 6xx codes. + These are not reported only to Postmaster. Unbalanced + parens, brackets, and quotes are printed as 653 codes. + They are always mapped to 5xx codes before use in SMTP. + Clean up error messages to tell both the actual address that + failed and the alias they arose from. This makes it + somewhat easier to diagnose problems. Difficulty noted + by Motonori Nakamura. + Fix a problem that inappropriately added a ctladdr to addresses + that shouldn't have had one during a queue run. This + caused error messages to be handled differently during + a queue run than a direct run. + Don't print the qf name and line number if you get errors during + the direct run of the queue from srvrsmtp -- this was + just extra stuff for users to crawl through. + Put command line flags on second line of pid file so you can + auto-restart the daemon with all appropriate arguments. + Use "kill `head -1 /etc/sendmail.pid`" to stop the + daemon, and "eval `tail -1 /etc/sendmail.pid`" to + restart it. + Remove the ``setuid(getuid())'' in main -- this caused the + IDENT daemon to screw up. This required that I change + HASSETEUID to HASSETREUID and complicate the mode + changing somewhat because both Ultrix and SunOS seem + to have a bug causing seteuid() to set the saved uid + as well as the effective. The program test/t_setreuid.c + will test to see if your implementation of setreuid(2) + is appropriately functional. + The FallBackMX (option V) handling failed to properly identify + fallback to yourself -- most of the code was there, + but it wasn't being enabled. Problem noted by Murray + Kucherawy of the University of Waterloo. + Change :include: open timeout from ETIMEDOUT to an internal + code EOPENTIMEOUT; this avoids adding "during SmtpPhase + with CurHostName" in error messages, which can be + confusing. Reported by Jonathan Kamens of OpenVision + Technologies. + Back out setpgrp (setpgid on POSIX systems) call to reset the + process group id. The original fix was to get around + some problems with recalcitrant MUAs, but it breaks + any call from a shell that creates a process group id + different from the process id. I could try to fix + this by diddling the tty owner (using tcsetpgrp or + equivalent) but this is too likely to break other + things. + Portability changes: + Support -M as equivalent to -oM on Ultrix -- apparently + DECnet calls sendmail with -MrDECnet -Ms<HOST> -bs + instead of using standard flags.

Problem found by Rein Tollevik + of SINTEF RUNIT, Oslo. + CONFIG: move up LOCAL_RULE_0 processing so that it happens very + early in ruleset 0; this allows .mc authors to bypass + things like the "short circuit" code for local addresses. + Prompted by a comment by Bill Wisner of The Well. + CONFIG: add confSMTP_MAILER to define the mailer used (smtp or + esmtp) to send SMTP mail.
