Recent releases
- 04 May 2008 23:36
Changes: The MTA accessed storage after it free()d it. This was a regression introduced in 8.14.2. The libmilter state engine did not deal correctly with milters that requested the omission of protocol steps during the negotiation callback.
- 02 Nov 2007 02:48
Changes: This release fixes some problems. For example, fixes were made for a bug in the milter function smfi_chgfrom() which could cause the loss of a message body, the handling of queued messages with 8 bit characters in From: or To: header which could be "mistaken" for internal control characters during a queue run and trigger various consistency checks, and the handling of lines longer than MAXLINE-1 characters in certain cases.
- 05 Apr 2007 10:59
Changes: If a milter rejected a recipient, the MTA still kept it in its list of recipients, and delivered to it if the transaction was accepted. The new DaemonPortOptions that begin with a lower case character can now be set.
- 04 Apr 2007 14:07
Changes: Headers are 8-bit "transparent" and the milter API has been extended.
- 02 Jan 2007 23:57
Changes: Header field values are now 8-bit clean. More per-daemon control is available. Multi-key LDAP lookups may be done. The check_eom ruleset is called. New cf features were added: require_rdns, block_bad_helo, and badmx. This release also includes a new milter API with more new features. This release also contains various bug features, including better data handling for digitally signed messages.

Recent commentsSendmail in RedHat 6.2
I'm new in Linux, and I'd like to know if anyone can help me with a problem.
I'd like to know how can I control the size of the emails for each user or group of users. Sendmail.cf as a command that we can control the maximum size (in and out). Is it possible to have it per user (eg. user001: 1000kb; user002: 200kb).
Thanks in advance.

Say people who don't know better alternatives.
LDAP Documentation
I have a section on integration of sendmail with LDAP (specifically OpenLDAP) in my LDAP presentation.
ldapv3.pdf (ftp://kalamazoolinux.org/pub/pdf/ldapv3.pdf) hosted by the Kalamazoo Linux Users Group (http://www.kalamazoolinux.org/). (Kalamazoo, Mi. USA)
Access file limitation
Sendmail when run in conjunction with popauthd scripts which automatically update the access (usually /etc/mail/access) automatically, sendmail seems to fill up a buffer or something and no longer reads from access file and rejects everyone relaying denied.
This is a problem I experienced once my access file get's apx 5000 lines large. Anyone else?
