Append .md suffix to text docs. Adjust references.
Rationale, in some sort of order:
- Plain text is already valid Markdown (and we can improve it as we go)
- Markdown is already plain text, readable in all the same ways
- GitHub also renders Markdown nicely in web browsers
- Changing installed names for docs is a non-zero compatibility break,
but we consider it small enough to tolerate:
1. Programs are unaffected
2. People will press <tab> and find what they're seeking
Supports goals: Being easily packaged by OS integrators
Broaches non-goals: Breaking compatibility (but tolerably so)
Risks: Users won't find needed info; patches to hier.c may get skewed

-19961122 change: allowed empty arg list in forward.
-19961121 change: qmail-smtpd now uses unknown (like qmail-qmtpd) rather

-19961117 bug: ipme_init() uses a fixed-length buffer for SIOCGIFCONF.
- impact: qmail-smtpd and qmail-remote will die if there are too
- many local IP addresses. tnx MD. fix: ipme_init() now
- dynamically allocates space, up to 200000 bytes, as long as
- SIOCGIFCONF keeps failing. note that this is a very widespread
- bug; it's in amd, exim, mrouted, named, nntpd, rarpd, sendmail,
- tcpdump, timed, xntpd, and probably dozens more programs.
-19961117 portability problem: on BSD 4.4 and various other systems,
- SIOCGIFCONF will truncate long lists and return success.
- impact: on those systems, qmail-smtpd and qmail-remote will
- miss some local IP addresses if there are too many. fix:
- ipme_init() now checks whether there is enough space left in
- the buffer for another ifreq, plus 64 bytes JIC. yuck.

- systems with too many aliases, all remote deliveries fail. tnx
- MD. fix: qmail-remote now dies with temp_oserr() on any result
- other than 1.
-19961003 portability problem: all pre-4.9.4 versions of bind barf,
- badly, on CNAME queries to lame servers. what a crappy system.
- even if the resolver doesn't barf, the next name server down
- the line may barf. impact: qmail can't get mail through to
- domains that are (1) lame and (2) running old versions of bind.
- fix: never, ever, do a CNAME query. dns_cname() now does an ANY
- query instead. this, like sendmail's analogous procedure, is
- unreliable when a CNAME is mixed with other records.

- warning message dedicated to Solaris, if stray newlines show up
- in the incoming data.
-19960926 change: added INSTALL.boot.
-19960926 portability problem: on systems that can handle IP interface
- aliases (i.e., on sa_len systems), SIOCGIFADDR returns the
- primary address for an alias. impact: ipme_init() did not
- include alias addresses. fix: ipme_init() avoids SIOCGIFADDR on
- sa_len systems; on these systems, the address we want is
- already in ifr. tnx DM.
-19960926 change: qmail-alias kills itself if locking takes longer than
- 30 seconds.
-19960926 change: qmail-pop3d no longer moves messages. tnx RS.

-19960920 change: in pine-crashing question in FAQ, added -oem and -oi,
- so that change will work with the real sendmail too.
-19960919 change: added CNAME section to FAQ. tnx to various people.
-19960919 change: eliminated QQX_EXECHARD and QQT_EXECHARD. this means
- that all qmail-queue invocation failures are now soft, even
- things like EPERM.
-19960919 change: replaced ``No such address'' with ``Sorry, no mailbox
- here by that name.'' tnx G2A.
-19960919 change: qmail-remote now includes host name in no-such-host
- messages. tnx G2A.

-19960915 change: qsutil error messages are now alerts.
-19960915 portability problem: on some systems, logger appears to use
- syslog(pri,buf) instead of syslog(pri,"%s",buf). tnx JC.
- impact: logger could barf or crash if fed messages containing
- %. an attacker could easily cause a crash, eliminating qmail's
- logs. fix: % is no longer considered safe for logs.
-19960912 cleanup: split seek.c into seek_*.c.

-19960812 change: added QMAILINJECT options f and m to delete From and
- Message-ID on input. tnx LL.
-19960812 change: added QMAILINJECT environment variable.
-19960812 change: added QMAILHOST, QMAILUSER, QMAILNAME to override
- MAILHOST, MAILUSER, MAILNAME. tnx MG.
-19960812 change: added qmail-showctl.
-19960812 portability problem: under Solaris 2.4 and possibly other
- systems, the linker does not give generic alignment to an array
- of 4096 chars. tnx JP. impact: some subset of the programs
- would (reliably) die with a bus error; in the Solaris case,
- maildir2mbox. fix: redefine space in alloc.c to be aligned.
-19960812 change: qmail-remote no longer does CNAME lookups if there's an
- artificial SMTP route. tnx ME.

-19960812 cleanup: moved host/relayhost processing earlier in
- qmail-remote.

- successful. tnx JLH.
-19960812 change: rewrote rcpthosts explanation in FAQ.
-19960811 change: added qmail-log.5.
-19960811 change: introduced ALIAS_PATERNALISM. configurability requested
- by several people.
-19960811 change: eliminated go-writability test for qmeox(). the alleged
- value of paternalism is nonexistent if nobody even notices
- you're doing it.
-19960811 change: in qbiff, changed no-/-allowed to no-/-at-beginning,
- no-dots-allowed, must-be-nonempty. tnx MD.
-19960811 change: in mbox.5, discouraged mail readers from looking for
- From_ lines only after blank lines. too much crap in the world.
-19960811 change: added subject line to qreceipt success notices.
-19960811 change: added subject line to qmail-send bounce messages.
-19960811 change: qmail-alias now expects dash arg. this finally gives
- lspawn complete control over the local -> ~user/.qmail-ext map.
-19960811 change: qmail-lspawn passes dash arg to qmail-alias.
-19960811 change: reorganized qlist acknowledgment format. again.
-19960811 change: documented EXT, EXT2, EXT3, EXT4. tnx BB.
-19960810 change: qmail-makectl now copies locals to rcpthosts. should be
- a better default. suggested by TK.
-19960805 portability problem: new makefile generator put in tabs again.
- sigh. impact: couldn't compile under some systems. fix: same as
- before. tnx TG.
-19960804 change: added tcpserver instructions to FAQ.
-19960804 change: reorganized FAQ server instructions into a new section.
-19960801 qmail 0.90, gamma.
-19960801 change: qmail-qmtpd now supports rcpthosts, RELAYCLIENT.
-19960731 change: default NUMD is now 29. this prepares for weird systems
- where getpwnam() needs more than one descriptor (but the
- descriptor limit is still 64! ... you never know), and for
- possible future getpwnam() replacements.
-19960731 change: popped subfderr buffer up to 32 characters. made sure
- that everybody flushed subfderr as necessary.
-19960731 change: maildir2qmtp now prints filenames and responses.
-19960731 change: maildir2smtp now prints filenames it's trying and
- relevant portion of SMTP responses.
-19960731 change: used succwrite() in maildir2smtp, maildir2qmtp.
- simplifies code quite a bit.
-19960731 change: qmail-remote's blast() checks sooner for write errors.
-19960731 change: added better -e option to sendmail. tnx TG.
-19960731 change: added maildir2qmtp.
-19960730 cleanup: eliminated die_nomem() in maildir2smtp.c.
-19960730 change: dns_cname now pretends that "foo." is a CNAME for "foo"
- to give the desired behavior for people who misuse DNS and
- violate RFC 822. tnx RN.
-19960730 change: dns_cname now tests for empty names and ] on every
- loop.
-19960730 change: used LSPAWN_BREAK in qmail-send.c for usermap.
-19960730 change: updated header example in qmail-header.5.
-19960730 change: added printbreak. auto-configured BREAK in dot-qmail.5,
- qmail-lspawn.7, qmail-send.8, qmail-upgrade.7, qlist2.
-19960730 change: added printnumd. auto-configured NUMD in qmail-send.8,

-19960730 change: added moreinfo to qlist usage message.
-19960729 change: improved an error message in qmail-alias.
-19960729 cleanup: merged qmeox(), qmeodx().
-19960729 bug: failure to stat .qmail-owner was not an error. impact: if
- stat failed temporarily (e.g., because of NFS), .qmail-owner
- would be incorrectly ignored, so outgoing message would have
- wrong envelope sender. fix: qmail-alias does temp_nfsqmail() if
- stat() returns a temporary error.
-19960729 change: added RFCOWNER.
-19960729 change: added qmtpd setup question to FAQ.
-19960729 change: added qmail-qmtpd.

-19960728 change: introduced strerr.
-19960728 bug: the new tcp-env tried to read from an ndelay socket.
- impact: TCPREMOTEINFO would always be empty. fix: unset ndelay
- in remoteinfo.c.
-19960728 bug: if maildir2smtp saw a permanent failure after MAIL, it
- failed to do RSET. impact: all further messages would be
- rejected at the MAIL stage. fix: maildir2smtp now always does
- RSET. tnx JW.
-19960728 cleanup: qmail-alias now applies lowercase and dot-to-colon
- conversion directly to dashext, leaving everything else alone.
- this works since all .qmail access is factored through dashext.
-19960727 portability problem: under NeXTStep, -posix is almost entirely
- broken. impact: qmail daemons would dump core under NeXTStep.
- fix: turn off -posix, except for loading qmail-setup, which
- needs mkfifo(); NeXT, bless them, didn't put mkfifo() into the
- C library where it belongs. this requires a new make command,
- namely loadfifo.
-19960727 change: all characters 33-126 are now considered safe for logs.
- tnx MD.
-19960727 cleanup: eliminated qp variable from mailforward().
-19960727 cleanup: maildirwatch.c includes headerbody.h.
-19960727 cleanup: eliminated match from maildirwatch.c.

-19960727 cleanup: qmail-lspawn.c now includes str.h, byte.h.
-19960727 cleanup: qmail-inject.c now includes quote.h.
-19960727 change: qmail-check now checks separately for group
- readability and other readability.
-19960727 bug: maildir2smtp didn't check flagehlo in PIPELINING parsing.
- impact: a server that said PIPELINING at any point, not just
- EHLO, would receive pipelined data. fix: check flagehlo.
-19960727 bug: readsubdir was calling pause(). impact: if a subdirectory
- was removed, qmail-send would hang. fix: use rs->pause().
-19960727 change: used error_str in qmail-qread.
-19960727 change: qmail-qread now looks for local/remote open errors.
-19960727 cleanup: added warn() in qmail-qread.c.
-19960727 change: qmail-qread now exits 111 for temporary errors.

-19960727 change: indirected fake targets through do- targets.
-19960727 change: added setup target to Makefile.
-19960727 change: qmail-makectl now makes sure that defaultdomain has
- at least one dot. e.g., enteract.com -> enteract.com, not com.
-19960726 bug: quote() failed to quote commas. impact: addresses
- containing commas would not have been quoted correctly for
- Return-Path or for SMTP MAIL FROM. fix: quote commas.
-19960726 change: sendmail now mentions qmail-qread, not qmail-mailq.
-19960726 change: qmail-alias now expects ext arg. this eliminates
- LSPAWN_BREAK from qmail-alias and gives lspawn almost complete
- control over the local -> ~user/.qmail-ext transformation. the
- exception is that qmail-alias always uses ~user/.qmail,
- ignoring ext, if local is the same as user.
-19960726 change: qmail-lspawn passes ext to qmail-alias.
-19960726 change: alloc() now uses up a 4K space before calling malloc().
-19960726 change: ipalloc allocation base is now 10. 100 was silly.
-19960726 change: stralloc allocation base is now 30.
-19960726 change: injectbounce() now supports the owner hack.
-19960726 change: qmail-smtpd no longer requires HELO. tnx K1J.
-19960726 cleanup: replaced makereceived() with dohelo().
-19960726 change: qmail-smtpd is back to 555 for syntax errors.
-19960725 change: qmail-alias now supports the owner hack. tnx to RN for
- prodding me to look at this problem.
-19960725 change: senderadd() now supports the owner hack.
-19960725 cleanup: split off senderadd().
-19960725 change: added pine-crashing note to FAQ.
-19960725 change: added procmail config.h note to INSTALL.mbox.
-19960725 change: added elm TMPDIR note to INSTALL.mbox.
-19960725 change: added pine.conf note to INSTALL.mbox.
-19960724 change: added fixup note to FAQ.
-19960724 change: qmail-inject now exits 111 for temporary errors.
-19960724 change: qmail-smtpd now appends RELAYCLIENT to incoming
- recipient domain names.
-19960724 cleanup: moved relayclient out of qmail-smtpd's addrallowed()
- into caller.

-19960722 change: incorporated relaymap, contributed by LW. renamed it
- as smtproutes.

- distributed similar changes.
-19960722 change: qmail-popup now sends APOP timestamp to checkpassword.
-19960722 cleanup: in qmail-popup, split off doanddie().
-19960722 change: qmail-popup now prints APOP timestamp in banner.
-19960722 change: added hostname argument to qmail-popup.
-19960722 cleanup: in qmail-popup, split out() into out(), outflush().
-19960722 cleanup: in qmail-popup, introduced pop3_greet().
-19960721 portability problem: under Unisys SVR4, hostname is not in the
- usual path. impact: qmail-makectl fails. fix: added hostname
- command here, used it in qmail-makectl.
-19960721 portability problem: on some sysctl-based systems, apparently
- gethostname() doesn't write anything if the output buffer is
- too small. it should write a truncated name. impact: if anyone
- has a hostname longer than 64 characters, maildirs could get up
- to 64 characters of garbage, rather than a truncated hostname.
- fix: qmail-alias now does *host = 0 before calling gethostname.
-19960721 change: updated FAQ examples from qsmhook to preline.
-19960721 change: added preline.
-19960721 change: qsmhook now uses signal_init, signal_uninit.

-19960720 change: logo is now dolphin. tnx CEJ.
-19960719 qmail 0.76, beta.
-19960719 change: used LSPAWN_BREAK in qmail-alias for deciding how to
- handle extensions. this should produce better behavior in the
- (unsupported) case that LSPAWN_BREAK is not a hyphen.
-19960719 bug: qmail-smtpd didn't check for null arg on MAIL, RCPT.
- impact: qmail-smtpd would deref 0 and crash. fix: qmail-smtpd
- now gives syntax error on null arg.
-19960719 change: documented UFLINE in qmail-command.8. tnx TG.
-19960718 change: added maildir2smtp.
-19960718 cleanup: introduced maildir.c. used it in maildir2mbox.c,
- maildirwatch.c.
-19960718 change: added maildirwatch.

- pq, rather than simultaneously with pq.
-19960718 change: added H_DELIVEREDTO.

- couldn't compile under Unisys. fix: added unix_sv section to
- make-cmds.sh. tnx TVP.
-19960718 change: added unix_sv section in find-systype. tnx TVP.
-19960717 change: qmail-alias now appends newline if .qmail does not end
- with a newline. tnx MC.
-19960717 change: qmail-alias now defers delivery for a blank line only
- if it is the first line of the file. handles user behavior
- described by MC of putting many newlines at end of file.
-19960717 bug: qmail-inject looked for dots in user part, not just host
- part, when deciding whether to use defaultdomain. impact: the
- address joe.bloggs@here didn't have defaultdomain added. fix:
- qmail-inject now stops at the @.
-19960717 change: updated INSTALL.alias to mention qmsmac.
-19960717 change: syntax error code for SMTP is now 501.
-19960717 change: added -e option to sendmail. tnx TG.
-19960716 change: changed ~alias files to .qmail-local, not .qmaillocal.
- suggested by many people.
-19960716 change: redid qmail-alias/qmail-lspawn interface.
-19960716 change: replaced EXTENSION, USEREXT with LOCAL.

-19960702 change: qmail-smtpd now accepts HELO without an argument.
- tnx K1J, J1B.
-19960627 change: qmail-lspawn.8 now mentions that qmail-lspawn doesn't
- set up supplementary groups. tnx TG.
-19960625 portability problem: under Linux, read(,,0) doesn't do proper
- error slippage. impact: timeoutconn() would always report
- success; if a connection failed, qmail-remote would report a
- greeting failure and skip all further MX records. tnx ME. fix:
- timeoutconn() now uses getpeername() to check for success.
-19960625 change: qmail-smtpd now mentions disk full for QQT_WRITE.
-19960625 change: qmail-inject now mentions disk full for QQT_WRITE.

-19960605 portability problem: under Solaris, /usr/bin/groups incorrectly
- reports your groups in /etc/group, rather than the results of
- getgroups(). tnx MD, PJG. impact: test #19 in INSTALL fails.
- fix: added special note to test #19 (sigh) about Solaris.
-19960605 change: improved maildir setup commands in INSTALL.mbox.
-19960605 change: on success, qmail-alias logs forwarding qp. 9 lines
- extra code.
-19960605 change: qmail-send logs qp for bounce. 6 lines extra code.
-19960605 change: qmail-smtpd includes qp in its response when it accepts
- a message. 7 lines extra code. requested by MD and others.
-19960605 change: added qqtalk_qp.
-19960605 change: qmail-send now logs uid and qp from todo file. 14 lines
- extra code.

- section. this will affect netbsd-* systypes. tnx MBS.
-19960530 qmail 0.75, beta.
-19960528 change: added qmail.7. tnx MD.
-19960525 change: added qmail-pop3d. tnx RN.
-19960525 change: added qmail-popup. tnx RN.
-19960525 change: added elm filter section to FAQ. tnx GB.
-19960502 portability problem: on many systems, select() on an
- almost-full pipe incorrectly says writable. tnx ME for running
- into this and helping track it down. impact: if qmail-send
- writes a pipeful to qmail-lspawn or qmail-rspawn before they
- can react (because of high concurrency, high load, or long
- addresses), it will receive an incorrect -1/EAGAIN, and will
- conclude that spawn died. sysadmin will have to restart qmail,
- and messages will be duplicated. fix: in qmail-send.c,
- busy-loop if write() to spawn returns any error other than
- EPIPE.
-19960501 bug: qmail-alias treated NAMETOOLONG and NOTDIR as temporary
- errors. impact: qmail-alias never looked for -default; even if
- mail was destined to bounce, it would have to time out first.
- fix: qmail-alias now uses error_temp().
-19960430 bug: qmail-smtpd treated qq crash as permanent error. impact:
- if somebody actively kills qq, mail will be incorrectly
- bounced. tnx SS. fix: qmail-smtpd now treats only TOOLONG and
- EXECHARD as permanent errors.
-19960430 cleanup: eliminated QQT_TTY from qqtalk.h.
-19960428 change: added ``warning: '' before trouble-marking message.
-19960428 change: added percenthack. requested by GB.
-19960428 cleanup: switched to auto-generated Makefile.
-19960428 cleanup: switched to auto-generated .o dependencies.
-19960428 cleanup: eliminated fmt.o, scan.o from Makefile.
-19960428 portability problem: under HP-UX 10, the rc pgrp is sent HUP
- when rc finishes. tnx BG. impact: the qmail daemons are killed
- when rc finishes. fix: added special note in INSTALL (sigh) to
- use csh -cf.
-19960427 cleanup: added PORT_SMTP in qmail-remote.c.
-19960427 cleanup: introduced timeoutwrite.c. used it in qmail-remote.c.
-19960427 cleanup: introduced timeoutread.c. used it in qmail-remote.c.

-19960427 change: headerbody now ends header, inserting blank line, if
- first line of a header field doesn't pass hfield_valid. tnx TG.
-19960427 change: headerbody now prepends MBOX-Line: to any header line
- starting From_. this lets qmail-inject work with elm's bounce.
- tnx OR, K1J, et al.
-19960426 change: added moreinfo arg to qlist and qlist2.
-19960426 change: added signal_uncatchchild() to qmail-send.c. tnx BG.
- now, if sysadmin sets SIGCHLD to SIG_IGN before invoking
- qmail-send [sigh], qmail-send won't screw up bounce messages.
-19960426 change: dns_cname now checks whether last character is ],
- rather than whether first character is [, for quick return.
-19960426 cleanup: glue is now global in dns.c.
-19960426 cleanup: qmail-remote no longer does stralloc_0 for host and
- canonhost.
-19960426 change: dns_mxip no longer rejects [foo].bar.
-19960426 change: dns_mxip no longer requires for bracket that input
- be 0-terminated.
-19960426 change: qmail-start can now take logger as an argument.
-19960426 change: qmail-start now invokes qmail-send in foreground (as
- parent of other processes).
-19960426 change: added mailsubj. tnx GAW.
-19960426 portability problem: under some systems, can't lock read-only
- file. impact: maildir2mbox would always fail on those systems.
- fix: maildir2mbox now opens a separate lock fd. tnx BG.
-19960426 cleanup: removed unnecessary #!/bin/sh and # AUTO from mctl.sh.
-19960426 change: added qmail-qstat.
-19960426 change: added qmail-qread.8.
-19960426 change: renamed qmail-mailq as qmail-qread.
-19960419 change: qmail-alias now defers delivery rather than skipping
- blank lines in .qmail.
-19960419 change: in qmail-lspawn.c, lowercased name before getpwnam().
- really getpwnam() should do this, but oh well.
-19960419 change: added username to qmail-lspawn.c, with LSPAWN_USERLEN
- in conf-unusual.h. names longer than LSPAWN_USERLEN will skip
- getpwnam().
-19960419 change: if qlist doesn't see any cmds, it presumes that you
- meant to subscribe.
-19960419 change: reorganized qlist acknowledgment format.
-19960415 change: reorganized and rewrote FAQ.
-19960415 change: renamed HOWTO as FAQ.
-19960414 change: in qmail-alias, converted extension to lowercase just
- before qmeopen(), qmeox() calls. thus EXTENSION and USEREXT and
- RECIPIENT will preserve case passed by qmail-lspawn, while
- .qmailext lookups will not.
-19960414 change: removed case_lowers(r) from qmail-lspawn.c. tnx JLH.
-19960414 change: moved extension . -> : conversion to just before
- qmeopen(), qmeox() calls in qmail-alias.c. thus EXTENSION and

-19960414 change: qsmhook -x now does case-independent comparison.
-19960413 change: added procmail instructions to HOWTO.
-19960409 bug: qmail-alias does not check for newlines when it generates
- Return-Path. impact: resulting Return-Path header field will be
- illegal, if sender address contains newline followed by
- something other than whitespace. fix: qmail-alias now replaces
- newline with underscore in rpline.
-19960409 change: added leaf UUCP description to HOWTO. tnx J2K.
-19960409 change: added -B option to sendmail. tnx OR.

- QUIT, HELO, EHLO, NOOP, VRFY, or any 502.
-19960409 change: qmail-smtpd now flushes output upon read() and death.
-19960409 change: qmail-smtpd no longer flushes output in out().
-19960409 change: increased qmail-smtpd outbuf size from 128 to 512.
-19960409 cleanup: in qmail-smtpd, eliminated ssinit() in favor of FDBUF.
-19960409 bug: qmail-alias produced aliasfoo-owner rather than foo-owner
- as envelope sender for ~alias/.qmailfoo. tnx DS. impact: wrong
- envelope sender whenever ~alias/.qmailfoo-owner existed. fix:
- qmail-alias now checks for hyphen at beginning of extension.
-19960409 change: added _ESMTP to end of 220. tnx JLH.
-19960409 change: moved out("\r\n") out of smtp_greet() into callers.
- this improves the flushing behavior on 221.
-19960328 qmail 0.74, beta.
-19960326 change: changed subdirectory split from 32 to 23.
-19960326 portability problem: some versions of make don't understand
- that a line with just a tab is blank. impact: couldn't compile
- under those systems. fix: eliminated extra tab from Makefile.
- tnx TG.
-19960325 change: added qmail-mailq.
-19960325 change: introduced readsubdir.
-19960325 change: qmail-setup makes split; qmail-check checks split.
-19960325 change: used split in qmail-send, qmail-clean, qmail-queue
- for mess, info, local, remote.
-19960325 change: fmtqfn now supports split queue subdirectories.
-19960325 cleanup: eliminated cat2s().
-19960325 cleanup: introduced fmtqfn.c. used it in qmail-queue.c,
- qmail-send.c, qmail-clean.c.
-19960325 change: in protocol between qmail-clean and qmail-send, now
- using intd/ instead of mess/.
-19960325 change: qmail-queue.c and triggerpull.c now work inside queue
- subdirectory.
-19960325 change: spawn.c now checks whether message is a regular file.

- uses of strnum.
-19960325 cleanup: in qmail-send.c, getinfo() now takes id argument.
-19960325 cleanup: qmail-send.c now preallocates space for fn, fn2.
-19960325 change: time zone is now -0000 instead of +0000. encouraging
- DRUMS to use this as an i-don't-know-the-local-time indicator.
-19960324 change: qmail-rspawn.c now calls tcpto_clean().
-19960324 cleanup: spawn.c now calls initialize().
-19960324 change: qmail-setup makes lock/tcpto; qmail-check checks it.
-19960324 change: qmail-remote now quickly skips connect() to a host that
- seems to be down. tnx BP for pressuring me to get this done.
-19960323 change: in qmail-alias.8, renamed mboxg as mboxrd. tnx RD.
- idea was popularized by RD in June 1995.
-19960322 cleanup: eliminated subfd_init().
-19960322 change: qbiff now removes the word Subject.
-19960322 change: now /bin/true instead of /dev/null in the generic
- INSTALL.ids instructions. tnx JPR.
-19960322 change: added hfield_skipname(). tnx RN.
-19960322 bug: qmail-inject did not check whether USER needed quoting.
- impact: if USER had weird characters, the From address would
- generally be wrong, unless the user manually set up MAILUSER
- with proper quoting. fix: qmail-inject sets up a quoted-string
- if necessary.
-19960322 cleanup: separated out quote_need() in quote.c.
-19960322 cleanup: added stralloc_catb.c. used it in qmail-alias.c,
- qmail-send.c.
-19960322 change: qmail-send now uses a quadratic retry schedule from
- birth of each message. this also eliminates clustering.
-19960322 cleanup: separated out nextretry() in qmail-send.c.
-19960322 change: qmail-remote now passes all non-@ addresses through
- without comment, not just <> and <#>.
-19960322 change: replaced # test with anything@[] test in qmail-inject.
-19960322 change: replaced # with #@[] in qlist.c, qmail-alias.c,
- qmail-send.c, qreceipt.c.
-19960322 change: qmail-lspawn no longer discards messages to <#>.
-19960322 cleanup: in qlist, used str_diff for <> and <#> tests.
-19960322 change: qmail-alias is now back to testing envelope sender for
- <> and <#>, rather than things without an @.
-19960321 change: added 8BITMIME support to qmail-smtpd.
-19960321 change: added ESMTP support to qmail-smtpd.
-19960318 change: used NEWSENDER in place of SENDER for |forward.

-19960318 change: added HCMSSC support to qmail-smtpd.c.
-19960317 portability problem: SCO requires -lsocket -lnsl. impact:
- couldn't compile under SCO. fix: added SCO section in
- make-cmds.sh. tnx JPR. note that this is for OSR 5; 3.2v4.2
- will need more fixes, and old 3.2 is basically hopeless.
-19960317 bug: newfield_datemake would leave newfield_date alone if it
- was already initialized, even though qmail-send calls
- newfield_datemake anew for each bounce. impact: bounce messages
- would usually have an incorrect Date field. fix: redid
- newfield_datemake to update newfield_date each time.
-19960317 change: allowed . and @ in 822 phrases; 822 doesn't allow them,
- but they do show up. tnx to the DRUMS group.
-19960317 change: replaced GMT with +0000 in date822fmt.c. this confuses
- a few versions of getdate(), but the DRUMS group is going to
- outlaw GMT, not just recommend against it as in 1123.
-19960317 change: redefined ALIAS_EMPTY to take advantage of . for file
- deliveries. tnx RN.
-19960317 change: qmail-alias now allows . as well as / to start file
- deliveries. tnx RN.
-19960317 change: qmail-alias now dies (soft) if .qmail is writable to
- others, rather than silently ignoring it.
-19960317 change: qmail-alias now dies (soft) if flagforwardonly is
- violated, rather than silently ignoring the bad instructions.
-19960317 change: qmail-alias now ignores x bit on empty .qmail files.
-19960317 bug: if RCPT gave 4xx and DATA gave 5xx, qmail-rspawn would
- incorrectly assign a permanent failure to that recipient.
- impact: in that case, mail would be incorrectly bounced. fix:
- remove orr > 0 test from qmail-rspawn.c.
-19960310 change: tcp-env now uses signal_uninit(). [sigh]
-19960310 change: tcp-env now specifically unsets HOST and INFO if they
- are not applicable. just trying to make it more widely usable.
-19960310 cleanup: used byte_* in remoteinfo.c, ipme.c, tcp-env.c.
-19960310 cleanup: added readwrite.h, eliminated sys.h.
-19960310 cleanup: included byte.h in qmail-send.c.
-19960310 cleanup: eliminated i and j from forward.c's main().
-19960310 cleanup: eliminated wstat from qlist.c.
-19960310 cleanup: eliminated die_nomem() parameter in qmail-setup.c.
-19960310 cleanup: eliminated i from qmail-remote's addrmangle().
-19960310 cleanup: added exit.h.
-19960310 cleanup: split ipalloc.c off of ip.c.
-19960310 cleanup: added fmt_strn.c, eliminated fmt_strncpy.c.
-19960310 change: reorganized INSTALL to do some pre-upgrade tests.
- tnx RN.
-19960310 change: reordered steps in upgrade procedure in INSTALL.
-19960308 change: eliminated ownership test in qmail-alias.c. tnx DS.
-19960304 change: in SECURITY, ``six most recent sendmail security
- holes'' -> ``seven most recent sendmail security holes.''
-19960303 qmail 0.73, beta.
-19960303 change: added SYSDEPS.
-19960303 cleanup: revamped select.h autoconfiguration.
-19960303 cleanup: revamped fork.h autoconfiguration.
-19960303 cleanup: revamped direntry.h autoconfiguration. target is now
- direntry.h; auto-hasdrent.h is gone.
-19960303 change: tryflock.c now includes <sys/types.h>, for consistency
- with lock.c. may affect portability.
-19960302 portability problem: under BSDI, can't set sticky on normal
- files. dorks. impact: the new qlist doesn't work under BSDI;
- be glad I test things before release. fix: qmail-alias and
- qlist now use executable instead of sticky.
-19960302 change: gfrom now quotes >From and >>From etc. as well as From;
- in other words, I'm switching from mbox format to mboxg format.
-19960302 cleanup: added gfrom.c. used it in qmail-alias.c, maildir2mbox.c.
-19960302 change: addbounce() now substitutes \n\n -> \n/ in reports,
- and \n -> _ in recips. thus bounces can now be reliably parsed.
-19960302 change: if qmail-send had trouble reading the original message
- or the list of addresses for a bounce, it used to give up and
- send a bounce with "Oh no! I had trouble reading the rest of
- your message" or some such. now it aborts the bounce attempt
- and tries again later.
-19960302 cleanup: added qqtalk_fail(). used it in qmail-alias.c,
- qmail-smtpd.c.
-19960302 bug: if mailforward() had trouble reading message (e.g.,
- because of an I/O error), it marked an error but kept reading.
- impact: could loop forever. fix: upon error, break.
-19960302 change: maildir2mbox now scans (restrictively) for return-path.
-19960302 change: qbiff now prints subject and body, up to 74 chars.
-19960302 change: added H_SUBJECT to hfield.
-19960302 change: qbiff now puts TO before FROM.
-19960301 cleanup: added fmt_str.c. used it in many places.
-19960301 change: qmail-send now says something if you've told it to exit
- but it's waiting for some deliveries. tnx RN.
-19960301 change: qmail-alias -n now continues (with warning) if home
- directory is sticky. tnx RN.
-19960301 change: improved usage messages in qmail-alias.c. tnx RN.
-19960301 change: put limit on length of addresses in qlist.
-19960301 change: added exit 99 support to qmail-alias. tnx RN.
-19960301 change: qmail-alias now exits immediately on temporary or
- permanent error. rewrote section in qmail-alias.8 accordingly.
-19960301 cleanup: eliminated flagsuccesses from qmail-alias.c.
-19960301 change: added usermap.
-19960301 bug: failure to append to mbox was a permanent error. impact:
- if mbox was temporarily unopenable (e.g., because fds were
- low), mail would be incorrectly bounced. fix: failure is now
- temporary. tnx DS.
-19960229 change: qmail-alias now preserves any envelope sender that
- doesn't contain an @, not just <> and <#>.
-19960229 cleanup: revamped byte_* interface.
-19960229 cleanup: renamed str_cpy as str_copy.
-19960229 cleanup: added str_chr.c. used it in qbiff.c, qmail-smtpd.c.
-19960229 cleanup: added str_rchr.c. used it in qmail-send.c, quote.c,
- qmail-remote.c.
-19960229 cleanup: added byte_rchr.c. used it in qmail-smtpd.c, spawn.c.
-19960229 cleanup: used USEREXT instead of RECIPIENT in qsmhook.c.
-19960229 cleanup: used USEREXT instead of RECIPIENT in qbiff.c.
-19960229 cleanup: removed j and k from rewrite() in qmail-send.c.
-19960229 portability problem: under HP-UX 10 and Solaris 2.5, can't
- setgroups()/setgid() to the system's nogroup/nobody gid. dorks.
- impact: inetd chokes, so all SMTP connections are rejected; and
- ``alias'' mail, including postmaster, bounces. fix: in
- INSTALL.ids, set up a separate powerless gid (tentatively
- ``nofiles'') for qmaild and alias. tnx DS and PJG.
-19960229 change: qreceipt now uses qqtalk rather than qmail-inject.
-19960229 change: qlist now uses qqtalk rather than qmail-inject.
-19960229 change: incorporated qmail-setup patch from RN for better
- error messages.
-19960228 change: added LSPAWN_BREAK in conf-unusual.h; used it in
- lspawn.c. configurability requested by PJG.
-19960228 portability problem: on several systems, including everything
- from DEC, select() on a pipe reader returns 1 if there aren't
- any writers yet. pointed out by DS. impact: qmail-send chewed
- up lots of CPU time. fix: trigger_set() now opens the pipe for
- writing after opening it for reading. also added trynpbg1; on
- working systems, no point in wasting the extra fd.
-19960228 change: qmail-alias uses .qmail sticky bit for forwardonly.
-19960228 change: qlist now sets sticky bit on .qmail file.
-19960228 change: un-documented +list.
-19960228 portability problem: on HP-UX and possibly other systems, the
- supplementary group list does not include the gid. pointed out
- by DS. impact: on those systems, tryshsgr could incorrectly set
- hasshsgr; this would prevent qmail-send from running. fix: if
- tryshsgr sees that getgroups() returns 0, now it actively sets
- up a supplementary group list. added chkshsgr to make sure the
- setgroups() will work.
-19960227 cleanup: eliminated GETSHORT in dns.c in favor of getshort().
-19960227 cleanup: deleted h->len < 3 test from qlist.c:dobody. tnx RN.
-19960227 change: replaced ~ with $HOME in INSTALL.mbox.
-19960227 change: added note about setgid-mail bits to INSTALL.mbox.
-19960227 change: added forward.1.
-19960227 change: modified forward to allow multiple addresses.
-19960227 change: modified forward to take an entire address, not just a
- hostname.
-19960227 change: renamed qrelay as forward.
-19960227 change: added USEREXT support to qmail-alias.
-19960227 change: added -F to sendmail. the need for this was pointed
- out by RN.
-19960227 change: added 2 bytes of slop in alloc().
-19960227 bug: received_setup() was not allowing space for the final \0.
- impact: none; the line length is always between 65 and 75
- characters, which gives at least 45 characters of slop with
- existing malloc() implementations. fix: leave space. tnx NH.
- note that the bug here is really in fmt_strncpy, which was
- written before i was truly free of the curse of libc.a.
-19960227 change: added ALIAS_EMPTY in conf-unusual.h; used it in
- qmail-alias.c. tnx PJG.
-19960227 change: added SPAWN_NUMD in conf-unusual.h; used it in spawn.c.
-19960227 change: added conf-unusual.h.
-19960227 cleanup: replaced sizeof(short) with 2 in dns.c.
-19960227 portability problem: on an Alpha, long is 64 bits. pointed out
- by DS. impact: address lookups produced incorrect results on an
- Alpha; qmail-makectl and qmail-remote failed. fix: replaced
- sizeof(long) with 4 in dns.c.
-19960227 portability problem: on an Alpha, bzero() is declared properly
- via sys/time.h. impact: couldn't compile on an Alpha. fix:
- removed bzero() declaration from select.h. tnx DS.
-19960227 portability problem: under SCO, sys/file.h is not protected.
- impact: couldn't compile under SCO. fix: include sys/types.h in
- lock.c. tnx RN.
-19960219 change: added some .qmail-list hints to qlist.1.
-19960219 change: added +list support to qmail-alias.
-19960215 change: added THANKS.
-19960212 bug: foo was not initialized in qrelay.c. impact: depends on
- the machine; on some machines, no effect; on other machines,
- guaranteed core dump. fix: initialized foo. tnx DS.
-19960209 qmail 0.72, beta.
-19960209 change: qmail-alias now replaces dot, not slash, with colon.
- also, qmeopen() makes sure that .qmail file is S_IFREG; I hope
- this doesn't cause portability problems.
-19960209 change: added success-reporting procedure to INSTALL.
-19960208 change: added VERSION.
-19960208 change: added qlist2.
-19960208 change: revamped qlist interface. tnx RN.
-19960208 change: improved an error message in qlist.c.
-19960208 change: added qrelay. added relay section to HOWTO. tnx DS.
-19960208 cleanup: included substdio.h in qqtalk.h.
-19960207 bug: prioq_delmin() wasn't guaranteeing heap structure on the
- last element. impact: scheduled passes could have been delayed,
- conceivably as long as half an hour. fix: prioq_delmin() now
- checks when it can safely move the last element.
-19960207 change: added maildirmake.1, maildir2mbox.1.
-19960206 change: revised logo paragraph in THOUGHTS.
-19960206 change: replaced nowhere.org with nowhere.mil in examples.
- nowhere.org is a real domain... [sigh]
-19960206 change: added qreceipt.1.
-19960206 portability problem: IRIX doesn't have vfork. pointed out by
- DS. impact: couldn't compile under IRIX. fix: added fork.h,
- tryvfork.c.
-19960206 portability problem: IRIX doesn't have ranlib. pointed out by
- DS. impact: couldn't compile under IRIX. fix: added IRIX
- section in make-cmds.sh.
-19960205 cleanup: removed warning from substdio_copy() documentation; in
- fact, substdio_copy() can be used safely on a fed substdio.
-19960205 change: added qbiff.1.
-19960204 change: implemented localnet. removed relevant paragraph from
- THOUGHTS. tnx IS.
-19960204 change: in qmail-remote.8, explained the dangers of smarthost.
- tnx IS.
-19960204 change: implemented virtualdomains wildcards. tnx JLH.
-19960203 change: qmail-send now handles virtualdomains _after_ locals.
- updated INSTALL.qsmhook appropriately.
-19960203 change: added note to INSTALL.alias about ~ftp, ~www, ~uucp
- being owned by root.
-19960130 cleanup: in qlist.c, renamed flagremoved as flagwasthere.
-19960130 bug: qmail-send did not pay attention to flagexitasap in
- pass_dochan(). impact: qmail-send would happily start new
- deliveries even if it wanted to exit. fix: qmail-send now
- returns immediately in pass_selprep() and pass_dochan() if
- flagexitasap.
-19960130 change: in qlist.c and qlist.1, renamed ext as list.
-19960130 change: in qlist.c and qlist.1, renamed manager as owner.
-19960129 qmail 0.71, beta.
-19960129 change: mentioned djb-qmailbeta in README. tnx MWE.
-19960129 change: added a note to INSTALL.mbox making clear that
- Mailbox is in mbox format. tnx MWE.

-19960129 change: incorporated qlist patch from RN to refuse double subs.
-19960129 change: added qlist.1, contributed by RN. mangled it a bit.
-19960129 bug: comment was not allowed in ``phrase (comment) <route>'';
- pointed out by RN. impact: some correct address lists could be
- mis-parsed by qmail-inject or qlist. fix: token.c now allows
- TOKEN_COMMENT in the appropriate scan.
-19960128 change: added a logo paragraph to THOUGHTS.
-19960127 change: implemented rcpthosts.
-19960127 change: split up some uses of putflush in qmail-remote,
- qmail-smtpd, spawn.c. eliminated NODELAY and corresponding
- paragraph in THOUGHTS.
-19960127 change: added quote2(). used it in qmail-alias, qmail-send,
- qreceipt. now addresses are properly quoted in the From, To,
- and internal Return-Path of bounces; the From and To of
- receipts; and the Return-Path/RPLINE of delivered messages.
- removed relevant paragraph from THOUGHTS.
-19960127 change: in RFCLOOPS, documented fact that Delivered-To address
- is conventionally not quoted.
-19960127 change: knocked default SMTP timeouts down to 20 minutes.
-19960127 change: added INSTALL.ids. tnx RN.
-19960127 change: in INSTALL, noted that nogroup should already exist.
-19960127 bug: pass_selprep checked pqchan[c] even if pass[c].id. impact:
- qmail-send wasted CPU time whenever more than one message was
- waiting on a blocked channel. fix: pass_selprep now checks
- !pass[c].id.
-19960127 bug: programs invoked from qmail-alias were immune to SIGPIPE.
- impact: a delivery pipeline such as |yes|head -1000 would loop
- forever, since yes does not check for write errors. fix: added
- signal_uninit(). used it before execvp in qmail-alias. [sigh]
-19960127 cleanup: added date822fmt.c. used it in newfield.c, qmail-queue.
-19960127 cleanup: added fmt_uint0.c. used it in myctime.c, newfield.c,
- qmail-queue.
-19960127 cleanup: added dnsdoe.c. used it in dnscname, dnsfq, dnsip,
- dnsmxip, dnsptr.
-19960127 cleanup: eliminated temp from dnsfq.c.
-19960127 bug: gen_allocdefs was making assumptions incompatible with the
- alloc_re interface. impact: qmail-send would dump core if you
- ran out of memory. fix: changed alloc_re interface.
-19960126 portability problem: some versions of Linux don't have
- net/route.h. pointed out by RN. impact: couldn't compile under
- those versions. fix: ipme.c no longer includes net/route.h;
- hopefully this won't cause new portability problems.
-19960126 change: added chmod instructions to INSTALL and INSTALL.alias.
- tnx RN.
-19960126 change: INSTALL now refers to the traditional sendmail spot
- (/usr/lib), not the BSD 4.4 spot (/usr/sbin). tnx RN.
-19960126 change: make auto-uids.h now creates auto-uids.h.tmp first.
- thus, if someone disobeys the installation instructions, and
- his make fails to remove targets upon error, he'll still be
- okay. tnx RN.
-19960126 change: added forgeries.7.
-19960125 cleanup: eliminated flagverbose, flagmetoo in sendmail.
-19960125 cleanup: added substdio_copy.c. used it at several spots.
-19960125 cleanup: added constmap.c. qmail-send now uses constmap for
- locals and virtualdomains. this will speed things up: no
- problem now to have thousands of virtual domains. removed
- relevant paragraph from THOUGHTS.
-19960125 change: added linux section in find-systype. this will affect
- linux-* systypes. tnx RN for relevant info.
-19960124 change: added -od, -oe, -p, -f to sendmail. the need for
- these was pointed out by TN.
-19960124 bug: qmail-smtpd was reading from descriptor 1. impact: none;
- in normal use, both 0 and 1 point to the network. fix: changed
- 1 to 0.
-19960124 bug: qmail-alias treated any .qmail open failure as permanent.
- impact: if a .qmail file was temporarily unopenable (e.g.,
- because of NFS), it was incorrectly ignored. fix: qmail-alias
- now dies QLX_SOFT on any open failure other than ENOENT.
-19960124 change: added freebsd section in find-systype, same as bsd.os
- section. this will affect freebsd-* systypes.
-19960124 cleanup: find-systype now immediately converts sys to lowercase.
-19960124 change: qmail-setup now copies man pages into /var/qmail/man;
- qmail-check checks /var/qmail/man. using .0 style, which might
- cause trouble on various machines, but better than not trying.
-19960124 change: in qmail-remote.c, changed perm_control to temp_control
- (and D to Z, thanks); thus failure to read control files (e.g.,
- because of permissions) is now a temporary error.
-19960124 bug: in qmail-remote.c, temp_chdir() used D, not Z. impact: if
- chdir() to CONF_HOME failed (e.g., because of NFS), message
- would be bounced. fix: changed D to Z.
-19960124 change: reorganized README.
-19960124 portability problem: Linux has the fifo kernel bug that I had
- hoped I'd never run into. impact: messages under Linux (and any
- other systems with this bug) were picked up only in sweeps, not
- instantly. fix: triggerpull.c now writes a byte (non-blocking)
- to the fifo. updated INTERNALS accordingly.
-19960124 bug: in qmail-remote.c, if quit() saw a remote write error, it
- would call writeerr() even though a message report had already
- been produced. impact: the mess report would include an extra
- ``ZConnected but communications failed,'' which was confusing
- to humans. fix: quit() now simply skips the wait-for-QUIT
- smtpcode() upon write error.
-19960124 portability problem: Linux does not have SIGSYS or SIGEMT.
- impact: couldn't compile under Linux. fix: added appropriate
- ifdefs in signal.c.
-19960124 qmail 0.70, beta.

+19961122 qmail 0.93, gamma.
+19961122 change: allowed empty arg list in forward.
+19961121 change: qmail-smtpd now uses unknown (like qmail-qmtpd) rather
+ than dying if environment variables are not set.

+19961117 bug: ipme_init() uses a fixed-length buffer for SIOCGIFCONF.
+ impact: qmail-smtpd and qmail-remote will die if there are too
+ many local IP addresses. tnx MD. fix: ipme_init() now
+ dynamically allocates space, up to 200000 bytes, as long as
+ SIOCGIFCONF keeps failing. note that this is a very widespread
+ bug; it's in amd, exim, mrouted, named, nntpd, rarpd, sendmail,
+ tcpdump, timed, xntpd, and probably dozens more programs.
+19961117 portability problem: on BSD 4.4 and various other systems,
+ SIOCGIFCONF will truncate long lists and return success.
+ impact: on those systems, qmail-smtpd and qmail-remote will
+ miss some local IP addresses if there are too many. fix:
+ ipme_init() now checks whether there is enough space left in
+ the buffer for another ifreq, plus 64 bytes JIC. yuck.

+19961114 portability problem: Sun's cc recognizes sqrt() as a builtin,
+ even if math.h is not included and sqrt is defined statically.
+ yuck. impact: when qmail is compiled with Sun's cc, next-retry
+ times are all screwed up. tnx PJG. fix: my sqrt() is now called

+ systems with too many aliases, all remote deliveries fail. tnx
+ MD. fix: qmail-remote now dies with temp_oserr() on any result
+ other than 1.
+19961003 portability problem: all pre-4.9.4 versions of bind barf,
+ badly, on CNAME queries to lame servers. what a crappy system.
+ even if the resolver doesn't barf, the next name server down
+ the line may barf. impact: qmail can't get mail through to
+ domains that are (1) lame and (2) running old versions of bind.
+ fix: never, ever, do a CNAME query. dns_cname() now does an ANY
+ query instead. this, like sendmail's analogous procedure, is
+ unreliable when a CNAME is mixed with other records.

+19960929 cleanup: renamed auto-hasmkffo.h to hasmkffo.h.

+19960926 change: qmail-smtpd now immediately closes connection, with a
+ warning message dedicated to Solaris, if stray newlines show up
+ in the incoming data.
+19960926 change: added INSTALL.boot.
+19960926 portability problem: on systems that can handle IP interface
+ aliases (i.e., on sa_len systems), SIOCGIFADDR returns the
+ primary address for an alias. impact: ipme_init() did not
+ include alias addresses. fix: ipme_init() avoids SIOCGIFADDR on
+ sa_len systems; on these systems, the address we want is
+ already in ifr. tnx DM.
+19960926 change: qmail-alias kills itself if locking takes longer than
+ 30 seconds.
+19960926 change: qmail-pop3d no longer moves messages. tnx RS.

+ control signals under more systems than HP-UX. impact: on some
+ systems (e.g., Solaris), qmail daemons would be killed. fix:
+ INSTALL now tells everybody to use csh -cf.
+19960920 change: added queue-run section to FAQ.
+19960920 change: in pine-crashing question in FAQ, added -oem and -oi,
+ so that change will work with the real sendmail too.
+19960919 change: added CNAME section to FAQ. tnx to various people.
+19960919 change: eliminated QQX_EXECHARD and QQT_EXECHARD. this means
+ that all qmail-queue invocation failures are now soft, even
+ things like EPERM.
+19960919 change: replaced ``No such address'' with ``Sorry, no mailbox
+ here by that name.'' tnx G2A.
+19960919 change: qmail-remote now includes host name in no-such-host
+ messages. tnx G2A.
+19960919 change: replaced ``Temporarily unable to canonicalize address''
+ with ``CNAME lookup failed temporarily.''

+19960915 change: added qsutil error messages to qmail-log.5.
+19960915 change: qsutil error messages are now alerts.
+19960915 portability problem: on some systems, logger appears to use
+ syslog(pri,buf) instead of syslog(pri,"%s",buf). tnx JC.
+ impact: logger could barf or crash if fed messages containing
+ %. an attacker could easily cause a crash, eliminating qmail's
+ logs. fix: % is no longer considered safe for logs.
+19960912 cleanup: split seek.c into seek_*.c.
+19960912 cleanup: replaced seek_to() with seek_set().
+19960912 cleanup: introduced libseek.a.

+19960825 change: added LINELEN macro to qmail-inject for unparse.
+19960825 change: token822_unparse now takes linelen argument. (leaving
+ two spaces on the right before linelen.)

+19960822 portability problem: under NEWS-OS, /bin/mail and /usr/ucb/mail
+ invoke sendmail with -E and -J options. tnx TU. impact:

+19960821 change: sendmail now quits if invoked as newaliases. tnx TU.
+19960821 portability problem: under NEWS-OS, dirent.h needs sys/types.h.

+19960818 change: in SECURITY, ``seven most recent sendmail security
+ holes'' -> ``eight most recent sendmail security holes.''
+19960818 change: qmail-pop3d now appends an extra blank line to every
+ message, for compatibility with popper. some clients can't
+ deal with the right thing, unfortunately. tnx FPL.
+19960818 change: added qmail-tcpto.
+19960818 change: eliminated cc -posix for NeXTs. tnx SA.
+19960818 change: eliminated loadfifo. tnx SA.
+19960818 change: integrated auto-configured fifo.c code from SA.

+ gets a dead connection after DATA. tnx ME.
+19960813 change: documented qmail-inject environment variables.
+19960813 change: supported per-recipient owner hack in qmail-inject.
+19960813 change: supported per-message owner hack in qmail-inject.
+19960813 change: introduced hackedruser into qmail-inject.
+19960813 change: introduced QMAILRUSER, QMAILRHOST.
+19960812 change: added QMAILINJECT option to allow address-comment form.
+19960812 change: made name-address form the default in qmail-inject.
+19960812 change: added QMAILINJECT options f and m to delete From and
+ Message-ID on input. tnx LL.
+19960812 change: added QMAILINJECT environment variable.
+19960812 change: added QMAILHOST, QMAILUSER, QMAILNAME to override
+ MAILHOST, MAILUSER, MAILNAME. tnx MG.
+19960812 change: added qmail-showctl.
+19960812 portability problem: under Solaris 2.4 and possibly other
+ systems, the linker does not give generic alignment to an array
+ of 4096 chars. tnx JP. impact: some subset of the programs
+ would (reliably) die with a bus error; in the Solaris case,
+ maildir2mbox. fix: redefine space in alloc.c to be aligned.
+19960812 change: qmail-remote no longer does CNAME lookups if there's an
+ artificial SMTP route. tnx ME.
+19960812 change: added flagcname arg to addrmangle() in qmail-remote.
+19960812 cleanup: moved host/relayhost processing earlier in
+ qmail-remote.
+19960812 change: qmail-remote stops before DATA if no RCPTs were
+ successful. tnx JLH.
+19960812 change: rewrote rcpthosts explanation in FAQ.
+19960811 change: added qmail-log.5.
+19960811 change: introduced ALIAS_PATERNALISM. configurability requested
+ by several people.
+19960811 change: eliminated go-writability test for qmeox(). the alleged
+ value of paternalism is nonexistent if nobody even notices
+ you're doing it.
+19960811 change: in qbiff, changed no-/-allowed to no-/-at-beginning,
+ no-dots-allowed, must-be-nonempty. tnx MD.
+19960811 change: in mbox.5, discouraged mail readers from looking for
+ From_ lines only after blank lines. too much crap in the world.
+19960811 change: added subject line to qreceipt success notices.
+19960811 change: added subject line to qmail-send bounce messages.
+19960811 change: qmail-alias now expects dash arg. this finally gives
+ lspawn complete control over the local -> ~user/.qmail-ext map.
+19960811 change: qmail-lspawn passes dash arg to qmail-alias.
+19960811 change: reorganized qlist acknowledgment format. again.
+19960811 change: documented EXT, EXT2, EXT3, EXT4. tnx BB.
+19960810 change: qmail-makectl now copies locals to rcpthosts. should be
+ a better default. suggested by TK.
+19960805 portability problem: new makefile generator put in tabs again.
+ sigh. impact: couldn't compile under some systems. fix: same as
+ before. tnx TG.
+19960804 change: added tcpserver instructions to FAQ.
+19960804 change: reorganized FAQ server instructions into a new section.
+19960801 qmail 0.90, gamma.
+19960801 change: qmail-qmtpd now supports rcpthosts, RELAYCLIENT.
+19960731 change: default NUMD is now 29. this prepares for weird systems
+ where getpwnam() needs more than one descriptor (but the
+ descriptor limit is still 64! ... you never know), and for
+ possible future getpwnam() replacements.
+19960731 change: popped subfderr buffer up to 32 characters. made sure
+ that everybody flushed subfderr as necessary.
+19960731 change: maildir2qmtp now prints filenames and responses.
+19960731 change: maildir2smtp now prints filenames it's trying and
+ relevant portion of SMTP responses.
+19960731 change: used succwrite() in maildir2smtp, maildir2qmtp.
+ simplifies code quite a bit.
+19960731 change: qmail-remote's blast() checks sooner for write errors.
+19960731 change: added better -e option to sendmail. tnx TG.
+19960731 change: added maildir2qmtp.
+19960730 cleanup: eliminated die_nomem() in maildir2smtp.c.
+19960730 change: dns_cname now pretends that "foo." is a CNAME for "foo"
+ to give the desired behavior for people who misuse DNS and
+ violate RFC 822. tnx RN.
+19960730 change: dns_cname now tests for empty names and ] on every
+ loop.
+19960730 change: used LSPAWN_BREAK in qmail-send.c for usermap.
+19960730 change: updated header example in qmail-header.5.
+19960730 change: added printbreak. auto-configured BREAK in dot-qmail.5,
+ qmail-lspawn.7, qmail-send.8, qmail-upgrade.7, qlist2.
+19960730 change: added printnumd. auto-configured NUMD in qmail-send.8,
+ qmail-limits.8.

+19960730 change: added dot-qmail.5.
+19960730 change: qmail-smtpd now treats HELO as including RSET.
+19960730 change: added moreinfo to qlist usage message.
+19960729 change: improved an error message in qmail-alias.
+19960729 cleanup: merged qmeox(), qmeodx().
+19960729 bug: failure to stat .qmail-owner was not an error. impact: if
+ stat failed temporarily (e.g., because of NFS), .qmail-owner
+ would be incorrectly ignored, so outgoing message would have
+ wrong envelope sender. fix: qmail-alias does temp_nfsqmail() if
+ stat() returns a temporary error.
+19960729 change: added RFCOWNER.
+19960729 change: added qmtpd setup question to FAQ.
+19960729 change: added qmail-qmtpd.

+19960728 change: revamped maildirwatch error messages.
+19960728 change: revamped maildir2mbox error messages.
+19960728 change: used strerr in maildir_scan().
+19960728 change: used strerr in maildir_chdir().
+19960728 change: introduced strerr.
+19960728 bug: the new tcp-env tried to read from an ndelay socket.
+ impact: TCPREMOTEINFO would always be empty. fix: unset ndelay
+ in remoteinfo.c.
+19960728 bug: if maildir2smtp saw a permanent failure after MAIL, it
+ failed to do RSET. impact: all further messages would be
+ rejected at the MAIL stage. fix: maildir2smtp now always does
+ RSET. tnx JW.
+19960728 cleanup: qmail-alias now applies lowercase and dot-to-colon
+ conversion directly to dashext, leaving everything else alone.
+ this works since all .qmail access is factored through dashext.
+19960727 portability problem: under NeXTStep, -posix is almost entirely
+ broken. impact: qmail daemons would dump core under NeXTStep.
+ fix: turn off -posix, except for loading qmail-setup, which
+ needs mkfifo(); NeXT, bless them, didn't put mkfifo() into the
+ C library where it belongs. this requires a new make command,
+ namely loadfifo.
+19960727 change: all characters 33-126 are now considered safe for logs.
+ tnx MD.
+19960727 cleanup: eliminated qp variable from mailforward().
+19960727 cleanup: maildirwatch.c includes headerbody.h.
+19960727 cleanup: eliminated match from maildirwatch.c.
+19960727 cleanup: eliminated code variable from maildir2smtp.c:doit().

+19960727 cleanup: tcpto.c now includes byte.h.
+19960727 cleanup: spawn.c now declares initialize().
+19960727 cleanup: qmail-lspawn.c now includes str.h, byte.h.
+19960727 cleanup: qmail-inject.c now includes quote.h.
+19960727 change: qmail-check now checks separately for group
+ readability and other readability.
+19960727 bug: maildir2smtp didn't check flagehlo in PIPELINING parsing.
+ impact: a server that said PIPELINING at any point, not just
+ EHLO, would receive pipelined data. fix: check flagehlo.
+19960727 bug: readsubdir was calling pause(). impact: if a subdirectory
+ was removed, qmail-send would hang. fix: use rs->pause().
+19960727 change: used error_str in qmail-qread.
+19960727 change: qmail-qread now looks for local/remote open errors.
+19960727 cleanup: added warn() in qmail-qread.c.
+19960727 change: qmail-qread now exits 111 for temporary errors.
+19960727 change: used error_str in qmail-setup.
+19960727 change: introduced error_str.
+19960727 change: replaced qmail-check with make check in INSTALL.
+19960727 change: added check target to Makefile.
+19960727 change: replaced qmail-setup with make setup in INSTALL.
+19960727 change: indirected fake targets through do- targets.
+19960727 change: added setup target to Makefile.
+19960727 change: qmail-makectl now makes sure that defaultdomain has
+ at least one dot. e.g., enteract.com -> enteract.com, not com.
+19960726 bug: quote() failed to quote commas. impact: addresses
+ containing commas would not have been quoted correctly for
+ Return-Path or for SMTP MAIL FROM. fix: quote commas.
+19960726 change: sendmail now mentions qmail-qread, not qmail-mailq.
+19960726 change: qmail-alias now expects ext arg. this eliminates
+ LSPAWN_BREAK from qmail-alias and gives lspawn almost complete
+ control over the local -> ~user/.qmail-ext transformation. the
+ exception is that qmail-alias always uses ~user/.qmail,
+ ignoring ext, if local is the same as user.
+19960726 change: qmail-lspawn passes ext to qmail-alias.
+19960726 change: alloc() now uses up a 4K space before calling malloc().
+19960726 change: ipalloc allocation base is now 10. 100 was silly.
+19960726 change: stralloc allocation base is now 30.
+19960726 change: injectbounce() now supports the owner hack.
+19960726 change: qmail-smtpd no longer requires HELO. tnx K1J.
+19960726 cleanup: replaced makereceived() with dohelo().
+19960726 change: qmail-smtpd is back to 555 for syntax errors.
+19960725 change: qmail-alias now supports the owner hack. tnx to RN for
+ prodding me to look at this problem.
+19960725 change: senderadd() now supports the owner hack.
+19960725 cleanup: split off senderadd().
+19960725 change: added pine-crashing note to FAQ.
+19960725 change: added procmail config.h note to INSTALL.mbox.
+19960725 change: added elm TMPDIR note to INSTALL.mbox.
+19960725 change: added pine.conf note to INSTALL.mbox.
+19960724 change: added fixup note to FAQ.
+19960724 change: qmail-inject now exits 111 for temporary errors.
+19960724 change: qmail-smtpd now appends RELAYCLIENT to incoming
+ recipient domain names.
+19960724 cleanup: moved relayclient out of qmail-smtpd's addrallowed()
+ into caller.
+19960724 change: added rcpthosts wildcards.
+19960724 change: added clean target to Makefile.
+19960723 change: added virtualdomains exceptions.
+19960722 change: added BLURB4.
+19960722 change: added BLURB3.
+19960722 change: eliminated smarthost and localnet.
+19960722 change: incorporated relaymap, contributed by LW. renamed it
+ as smtproutes.
+19960722 change: qmail-popup now supports APOP. suggested by BG, who
+ distributed similar changes.
+19960722 change: qmail-popup now sends APOP timestamp to checkpassword.
+19960722 cleanup: in qmail-popup, split off doanddie().
+19960722 change: qmail-popup now prints APOP timestamp in banner.
+19960722 change: added hostname argument to qmail-popup.
+19960722 cleanup: in qmail-popup, split out() into out(), outflush().
+19960722 cleanup: in qmail-popup, introduced pop3_greet().
+19960721 portability problem: under Unisys SVR4, hostname is not in the
+ usual path. impact: qmail-makectl fails. fix: added hostname
+ command here, used it in qmail-makectl.
+19960721 portability problem: on some sysctl-based systems, apparently
+ gethostname() doesn't write anything if the output buffer is
+ too small. it should write a truncated name. impact: if anyone
+ has a hostname longer than 64 characters, maildirs could get up
+ to 64 characters of garbage, rather than a truncated hostname.
+ fix: qmail-alias now does *host = 0 before calling gethostname.
+19960721 change: updated FAQ examples from qsmhook to preline.
+19960721 change: added preline.
+19960721 change: qsmhook now uses signal_init, signal_uninit.

+19960721 change: documented mbox.
+19960721 change: added EXT, EXT2, EXT3, EXT4.

+19960720 change: expanded, vertically, the qmail-inject error message
+ for unparseable header fields.
+19960720 change: logo is now dolphin. tnx CEJ.
+19960719 qmail 0.76, beta.
+19960719 change: used LSPAWN_BREAK in qmail-alias for deciding how to
+ handle extensions. this should produce better behavior in the
+ (unsupported) case that LSPAWN_BREAK is not a hyphen.
+19960719 bug: qmail-smtpd didn't check for null arg on MAIL, RCPT.
+ impact: qmail-smtpd would deref 0 and crash. fix: qmail-smtpd
+ now gives syntax error on null arg.
+19960719 change: documented UFLINE in qmail-command.8. tnx TG.
+19960718 change: added maildir2smtp.
+19960718 cleanup: introduced maildir.c. used it in maildir2mbox.c,
+ maildirwatch.c.
+19960718 change: added maildirwatch.
+19960718 cleanup: maildir2mbox now sets up pq2 as it is deleting from
+ pq, rather than simultaneously with pq.
+19960718 change: added H_DELIVEREDTO.
+19960718 portability problem: Unisys requires -lsocket -lnsl. impact:
+ couldn't compile under Unisys. fix: added unix_sv section to
+ make-cmds.sh. tnx TVP.
+19960718 change: added unix_sv section in find-systype. tnx TVP.
+19960717 change: qmail-alias now appends newline if .qmail does not end
+ with a newline. tnx MC.
+19960717 change: qmail-alias now defers delivery for a blank line only
+ if it is the first line of the file. handles user behavior
+ described by MC of putting many newlines at end of file.
+19960717 bug: qmail-inject looked for dots in user part, not just host
+ part, when deciding whether to use defaultdomain. impact: the
+ address joe.bloggs@here didn't have defaultdomain added. fix:
+ qmail-inject now stops at the @.
+19960717 change: updated INSTALL.alias to mention qmsmac.
+19960717 change: syntax error code for SMTP is now 501.
+19960717 change: added -e option to sendmail. tnx TG.
+19960716 change: changed ~alias files to .qmail-local, not .qmaillocal.
+ suggested by many people.
+19960716 change: redid qmail-alias/qmail-lspawn interface.
+19960716 change: replaced EXTENSION, USEREXT with LOCAL.
+19960716 change: qmail-queue now removes intd, mess upon error, as long
+ as it doesn't time out. suggested by BB et al.

+ generally doesn't apply to addresses starting with a user name.

+19960702 change: qmail-smtpd now accepts HELO without an argument.
+ tnx K1J, J1B.
+19960627 change: qmail-lspawn.8 now mentions that qmail-lspawn doesn't
+ set up supplementary groups. tnx TG.
+19960625 portability problem: under Linux, read(,,0) doesn't do proper
+ error slippage. impact: timeoutconn() would always report
+ success; if a connection failed, qmail-remote would report a
+ greeting failure and skip all further MX records. tnx ME. fix:
+ timeoutconn() now uses getpeername() to check for success.
+19960625 change: qmail-smtpd now mentions disk full for QQT_WRITE.
+19960625 change: qmail-inject now mentions disk full for QQT_WRITE.

+19960605 portability problem: under Solaris, /usr/bin/groups incorrectly
+ reports your groups in /etc/group, rather than the results of
+ getgroups(). tnx MD, PJG. impact: test #19 in INSTALL fails.
+ fix: added special note to test #19 (sigh) about Solaris.
+19960605 change: improved maildir setup commands in INSTALL.mbox.
+19960605 change: on success, qmail-alias logs forwarding qp. 9 lines
+ extra code.
+19960605 change: qmail-send logs qp for bounce. 6 lines extra code.
+19960605 change: qmail-smtpd includes qp in its response when it accepts
+ a message. 7 lines extra code. requested by MD and others.
+19960605 change: added qqtalk_qp.
+19960605 change: qmail-send now logs uid and qp from todo file. 14 lines
+ extra code.

+ just deferral reports.
+19960603 change: added netbsd section in find-systype, same as bsd.os
+ section. this will affect netbsd-* systypes. tnx MBS.
+19960530 qmail 0.75, beta.
+19960528 change: added qmail.7. tnx MD.
+19960525 change: added qmail-pop3d. tnx RN.
+19960525 change: added qmail-popup. tnx RN.
+19960525 change: added elm filter section to FAQ. tnx GB.
+19960502 portability problem: on many systems, select() on an
+ almost-full pipe incorrectly says writable. tnx ME for running
+ into this and helping track it down. impact: if qmail-send
+ writes a pipeful to qmail-lspawn or qmail-rspawn before they
+ can react (because of high concurrency, high load, or long
+ addresses), it will receive an incorrect -1/EAGAIN, and will
+ conclude that spawn died. sysadmin will have to restart qmail,
+ and messages will be duplicated. fix: in qmail-send.c,
+ busy-loop if write() to spawn returns any error other than
+ EPIPE.
+19960501 bug: qmail-alias treated NAMETOOLONG and NOTDIR as temporary
+ errors. impact: qmail-alias never looked for -default; even if
+ mail was destined to bounce, it would have to time out first.
+ fix: qmail-alias now uses error_temp().
+19960430 bug: qmail-smtpd treated qq crash as permanent error. impact:
+ if somebody actively kills qq, mail will be incorrectly
+ bounced. tnx SS. fix: qmail-smtpd now treats only TOOLONG and
+ EXECHARD as permanent errors.
+19960430 cleanup: eliminated QQT_TTY from qqtalk.h.
+19960428 change: added ``warning: '' before trouble-marking message.
+19960428 change: added percenthack. requested by GB.
+19960428 cleanup: switched to auto-generated Makefile.
+19960428 cleanup: switched to auto-generated .o dependencies.
+19960428 cleanup: eliminated fmt.o, scan.o from Makefile.
+19960428 portability problem: under HP-UX 10, the rc pgrp is sent HUP
+ when rc finishes. tnx BG. impact: the qmail daemons are killed
+ when rc finishes. fix: added special note in INSTALL (sigh) to
+ use csh -cf.
+19960427 cleanup: added PORT_SMTP in qmail-remote.c.
+19960427 cleanup: introduced timeoutwrite.c. used it in qmail-remote.c.
+19960427 cleanup: introduced timeoutread.c. used it in qmail-remote.c.
+19960427 cleanup: introduced timeoutconn.c. used it in qmail-remote.c.
+19960427 change: added timeoutconnect. default: 60 seconds.
+19960427 change: added pop3d instructions to FAQ. tnx RN.
+19960427 change: eliminated env manipulation from qmail-start. tnx BG.
+19960427 change: headerbody now ends header, inserting blank line, if
+ first line of a header field doesn't pass hfield_valid. tnx TG.
+19960427 change: headerbody now prepends MBOX-Line: to any header line
+ starting From_. this lets qmail-inject work with elm's bounce.
+ tnx OR, K1J, et al.
+19960426 change: added moreinfo arg to qlist and qlist2.
+19960426 change: added signal_uncatchchild() to qmail-send.c. tnx BG.
+ now, if sysadmin sets SIGCHLD to SIG_IGN before invoking
+ qmail-send [sigh], qmail-send won't screw up bounce messages.
+19960426 change: dns_cname now checks whether last character is ],
+ rather than whether first character is [, for quick return.
+19960426 cleanup: glue is now global in dns.c.
+19960426 cleanup: qmail-remote no longer does stralloc_0 for host and
+ canonhost.
+19960426 change: dns_mxip no longer rejects [foo].bar.
+19960426 change: dns_mxip no longer requires for bracket that input
+ be 0-terminated.
+19960426 change: qmail-start can now take logger as an argument.
+19960426 change: qmail-start now invokes qmail-send in foreground (as
+ parent of other processes).
+19960426 change: added mailsubj. tnx GAW.
+19960426 portability problem: under some systems, can't lock read-only
+ file. impact: maildir2mbox would always fail on those systems.
+ fix: maildir2mbox now opens a separate lock fd. tnx BG.
+19960426 cleanup: removed unnecessary #!/bin/sh and # AUTO from mctl.sh.
+19960426 change: added qmail-qstat.
+19960426 change: added qmail-qread.8.
+19960426 change: renamed qmail-mailq as qmail-qread.
+19960419 change: qmail-alias now defers delivery rather than skipping
+ blank lines in .qmail.
+19960419 change: in qmail-lspawn.c, lowercased name before getpwnam().
+ really getpwnam() should do this, but oh well.
+19960419 change: added username to qmail-lspawn.c, with LSPAWN_USERLEN
+ in conf-unusual.h. names longer than LSPAWN_USERLEN will skip
+ getpwnam().
+19960419 change: if qlist doesn't see any cmds, it presumes that you
+ meant to subscribe.
+19960419 change: reorganized qlist acknowledgment format.
+19960415 change: reorganized and rewrote FAQ.
+19960415 change: renamed HOWTO as FAQ.
+19960414 change: in qmail-alias, converted extension to lowercase just
+ before qmeopen(), qmeox() calls. thus EXTENSION and USEREXT and
+ RECIPIENT will preserve case passed by qmail-lspawn, while
+ .qmailext lookups will not.
+19960414 change: removed case_lowers(r) from qmail-lspawn.c. tnx JLH.
+19960414 change: moved extension . -> : conversion to just before
+ qmeopen(), qmeox() calls in qmail-alias.c. thus EXTENSION and
+ USEREXT and RECIPIENT will preserve dots.
+19960414 change: qsmhook -x now does case-independent comparison.
+19960413 change: added procmail instructions to HOWTO.
+19960409 bug: qmail-alias does not check for newlines when it generates
+ Return-Path. impact: resulting Return-Path header field will be
+ illegal, if sender address contains newline followed by
+ something other than whitespace. fix: qmail-alias now replaces
+ newline with underscore in rpline.
+19960409 change: added leaf UUCP description to HOWTO. tnx J2K.
+19960409 change: added -B option to sendmail. tnx OR.
+19960409 change: qlist now makes lists unwritable (after renaming from
+ .qtemp to .qmail). tnx MLH.
+19960409 change: added flagdtline to qsmhook.c, based on -l option.
+19960409 change: added PIPELINING declaration to qmail-smtpd. tnx JGM.
+19960409 change: qmail-smtpd now flushes output instantly after DATA,
+ QUIT, HELO, EHLO, NOOP, VRFY, or any 502.
+19960409 change: qmail-smtpd now flushes output upon read() and death.
+19960409 change: qmail-smtpd no longer flushes output in out().
+19960409 change: increased qmail-smtpd outbuf size from 128 to 512.
+19960409 cleanup: in qmail-smtpd, eliminated ssinit() in favor of FDBUF.
+19960409 bug: qmail-alias produced aliasfoo-owner rather than foo-owner
+ as envelope sender for ~alias/.qmailfoo. tnx DS. impact: wrong
+ envelope sender whenever ~alias/.qmailfoo-owner existed. fix:
+ qmail-alias now checks for hyphen at beginning of extension.
+19960409 change: added _ESMTP to end of 220. tnx JLH.
+19960409 change: moved out("\r\n") out of smtp_greet() into callers.
+ this improves the flushing behavior on 221.
+19960328 qmail 0.74, beta.
+19960326 change: changed subdirectory split from 32 to 23.
+19960326 portability problem: some versions of make don't understand
+ that a line with just a tab is blank. impact: couldn't compile
+ under those systems. fix: eliminated extra tab from Makefile.
+ tnx TG.
+19960325 change: added qmail-mailq.
+19960325 change: introduced readsubdir.
+19960325 change: qmail-setup makes split; qmail-check checks split.
+19960325 change: used split in qmail-send, qmail-clean, qmail-queue
+ for mess, info, local, remote.
+19960325 change: fmtqfn now supports split queue subdirectories.
+19960325 cleanup: eliminated cat2s().
+19960325 cleanup: introduced fmtqfn.c. used it in qmail-queue.c,
+ qmail-send.c, qmail-clean.c.
+19960325 change: in protocol between qmail-clean and qmail-send, now
+ using intd/ instead of mess/.
+19960325 change: qmail-queue.c and triggerpull.c now work inside queue
+ subdirectory.
+19960325 change: spawn.c now checks whether message is a regular file.
+19960325 change: spawn.c now allows slashes in messid except at
+ beginning.
+19960325 cleanup: introduced fnmake_split in qmail-send.c.
+19960325 cleanup: eliminated strnum in qmail-send.c in favor of
+ fnmake_{info,todo,mess,chanaddr} and fnmake2_bounce.
+19960325 cleanup: introduced strnum3 in qmail-send.c for the logging
+ uses of strnum.
+19960325 cleanup: in qmail-send.c, getinfo() now takes id argument.
+19960325 cleanup: qmail-send.c now preallocates space for fn, fn2.
+19960325 change: time zone is now -0000 instead of +0000. encouraging
+ DRUMS to use this as an i-don't-know-the-local-time indicator.
+19960324 change: qmail-rspawn.c now calls tcpto_clean().
+19960324 cleanup: spawn.c now calls initialize().
+19960324 change: qmail-setup makes lock/tcpto; qmail-check checks it.
+19960324 change: qmail-remote now quickly skips connect() to a host that
+ seems to be down. tnx BP for pressuring me to get this done.
+19960323 change: in qmail-alias.8, renamed mboxg as mboxrd. tnx RD.
+ idea was popularized by RD in June 1995.
+19960322 cleanup: eliminated subfd_init().
+19960322 change: qbiff now removes the word Subject.
+19960322 change: now /bin/true instead of /dev/null in the generic
+ INSTALL.ids instructions. tnx JPR.
+19960322 change: added hfield_skipname(). tnx RN.
+19960322 bug: qmail-inject did not check whether USER needed quoting.
+ impact: if USER had weird characters, the From address would
+ generally be wrong, unless the user manually set up MAILUSER
+ with proper quoting. fix: qmail-inject sets up a quoted-string
+ if necessary.
+19960322 cleanup: separated out quote_need() in quote.c.
+19960322 cleanup: added stralloc_catb.c. used it in qmail-alias.c,
+ qmail-send.c.
+19960322 change: qmail-send now uses a quadratic retry schedule from
+ birth of each message. this also eliminates clustering.
+19960322 cleanup: separated out nextretry() in qmail-send.c.
+19960322 change: qmail-remote now passes all non-@ addresses through
+ without comment, not just <> and <#>.
+19960322 change: replaced # test with anything@[] test in qmail-inject.
+19960322 change: replaced # with #@[] in qlist.c, qmail-alias.c,
+ qmail-send.c, qreceipt.c.
+19960322 change: qmail-lspawn no longer discards messages to <#>.
+19960322 cleanup: in qlist, used str_diff for <> and <#> tests.
+19960322 change: qmail-alias is now back to testing envelope sender for
+ <> and <#>, rather than things without an @.
+19960321 change: added 8BITMIME support to qmail-smtpd.
+19960321 change: added ESMTP support to qmail-smtpd.
+19960318 change: used NEWSENDER in place of SENDER for |forward.

+19960318 change: added HCMSSC support to spawn.c.
+19960318 change: added HCMSSC support to qmail-remote.c.
+19960318 change: added HCMSSC support to qmail-smtpd.c.
+19960317 portability problem: SCO requires -lsocket -lnsl. impact:
+ couldn't compile under SCO. fix: added SCO section in
+ make-cmds.sh. tnx JPR. note that this is for OSR 5; 3.2v4.2
+ will need more fixes, and old 3.2 is basically hopeless.
+19960317 bug: newfield_datemake would leave newfield_date alone if it
+ was already initialized, even though qmail-send calls
+ newfield_datemake anew for each bounce. impact: bounce messages
+ would usually have an incorrect Date field. fix: redid
+ newfield_datemake to update newfield_date each time.
+19960317 change: allowed . and @ in 822 phrases; 822 doesn't allow them,
+ but they do show up. tnx to the DRUMS group.
+19960317 change: replaced GMT with +0000 in date822fmt.c. this confuses
+ a few versions of getdate(), but the DRUMS group is going to
+ outlaw GMT, not just recommend against it as in 1123.
+19960317 change: redefined ALIAS_EMPTY to take advantage of . for file
+ deliveries. tnx RN.
+19960317 change: qmail-alias now allows . as well as / to start file
+ deliveries. tnx RN.
+19960317 change: qmail-alias now dies (soft) if .qmail is writable to
+ others, rather than silently ignoring it.
+19960317 change: qmail-alias now dies (soft) if flagforwardonly is
+ violated, rather than silently ignoring the bad instructions.
+19960317 change: qmail-alias now ignores x bit on empty .qmail files.
+19960317 bug: if RCPT gave 4xx and DATA gave 5xx, qmail-rspawn would
+ incorrectly assign a permanent failure to that recipient.
+ impact: in that case, mail would be incorrectly bounced. fix:
+ remove orr > 0 test from qmail-rspawn.c.
+19960310 change: tcp-env now uses signal_uninit(). [sigh]
+19960310 change: tcp-env now specifically unsets HOST and INFO if they
+ are not applicable. just trying to make it more widely usable.
+19960310 cleanup: used byte_* in remoteinfo.c, ipme.c, tcp-env.c.
+19960310 cleanup: added readwrite.h, eliminated sys.h.
+19960310 cleanup: included byte.h in qmail-send.c.
+19960310 cleanup: eliminated i and j from forward.c's main().
+19960310 cleanup: eliminated wstat from qlist.c.
+19960310 cleanup: eliminated die_nomem() parameter in qmail-setup.c.
+19960310 cleanup: eliminated i from qmail-remote's addrmangle().
+19960310 cleanup: added exit.h.
+19960310 cleanup: split ipalloc.c off of ip.c.
+19960310 cleanup: added fmt_strn.c, eliminated fmt_strncpy.c.
+19960310 change: reorganized INSTALL to do some pre-upgrade tests.
+ tnx RN.
+19960310 change: reordered steps in upgrade procedure in INSTALL.
+19960308 change: eliminated ownership test in qmail-alias.c. tnx DS.
+19960304 change: in SECURITY, ``six most recent sendmail security
+ holes'' -> ``seven most recent sendmail security holes.''
+19960303 qmail 0.73, beta.
+19960303 change: added SYSDEPS.
+19960303 cleanup: revamped select.h autoconfiguration.
+19960303 cleanup: revamped fork.h autoconfiguration.
+19960303 cleanup: revamped direntry.h autoconfiguration. target is now
+ direntry.h; auto-hasdrent.h is gone.
+19960303 change: tryflock.c now includes <sys/types.h>, for consistency
+ with lock.c. may affect portability.
+19960302 portability problem: under BSDI, can't set sticky on normal
+ files. dorks. impact: the new qlist doesn't work under BSDI;
+ be glad I test things before release. fix: qmail-alias and
+ qlist now use executable instead of sticky.
+19960302 change: gfrom now quotes >From and >>From etc. as well as From;
+ in other words, I'm switching from mbox format to mboxg format.
+19960302 cleanup: added gfrom.c. used it in qmail-alias.c, maildir2mbox.c.
+19960302 change: addbounce() now substitutes \n\n -> \n/ in reports,
+ and \n -> _ in recips. thus bounces can now be reliably parsed.
+19960302 change: if qmail-send had trouble reading the original message
+ or the list of addresses for a bounce, it used to give up and
+ send a bounce with "Oh no! I had trouble reading the rest of
+ your message" or some such. now it aborts the bounce attempt
+ and tries again later.
+19960302 cleanup: added qqtalk_fail(). used it in qmail-alias.c,
+ qmail-smtpd.c.
+19960302 bug: if mailforward() had trouble reading message (e.g.,
+ because of an I/O error), it marked an error but kept reading.
+ impact: could loop forever. fix: upon error, break.
+19960302 change: maildir2mbox now scans (restrictively) for return-path.
+19960302 change: qbiff now prints subject and body, up to 74 chars.
+19960302 change: added H_SUBJECT to hfield.
+19960302 change: qbiff now puts TO before FROM.
+19960301 cleanup: added fmt_str.c. used it in many places.
+19960301 change: qmail-send now says something if you've told it to exit
+ but it's waiting for some deliveries. tnx RN.
+19960301 change: qmail-alias -n now continues (with warning) if home
+ directory is sticky. tnx RN.
+19960301 change: improved usage messages in qmail-alias.c. tnx RN.
+19960301 change: put limit on length of addresses in qlist.
+19960301 change: added exit 99 support to qmail-alias. tnx RN.
+19960301 change: qmail-alias now exits immediately on temporary or
+ permanent error. rewrote section in qmail-alias.8 accordingly.
+19960301 cleanup: eliminated flagsuccesses from qmail-alias.c.
+19960301 change: added usermap.
+19960301 bug: failure to append to mbox was a permanent error. impact:
+ if mbox was temporarily unopenable (e.g., because fds were
+ low), mail would be incorrectly bounced. fix: failure is now
+ temporary. tnx DS.
+19960229 change: qmail-alias now preserves any envelope sender that
+ doesn't contain an @, not just <> and <#>.
+19960229 cleanup: revamped byte_* interface.
+19960229 cleanup: renamed str_cpy as str_copy.
+19960229 cleanup: added str_chr.c. used it in qbiff.c, qmail-smtpd.c.
+19960229 cleanup: added str_rchr.c. used it in qmail-send.c, quote.c,
+ qmail-remote.c.
+19960229 cleanup: added byte_rchr.c. used it in qmail-smtpd.c, spawn.c.
+19960229 cleanup: used USEREXT instead of RECIPIENT in qsmhook.c.
+19960229 cleanup: used USEREXT instead of RECIPIENT in qbiff.c.
+19960229 cleanup: removed j and k from rewrite() in qmail-send.c.
+19960229 portability problem: under HP-UX 10 and Solaris 2.5, can't
+ setgroups()/setgid() to the system's nogroup/nobody gid. dorks.
+ impact: inetd chokes, so all SMTP connections are rejected; and
+ ``alias'' mail, including postmaster, bounces. fix: in
+ INSTALL.ids, set up a separate powerless gid (tentatively
+ ``nofiles'') for qmaild and alias. tnx DS and PJG.
+19960229 change: qreceipt now uses qqtalk rather than qmail-inject.
+19960229 change: qlist now uses qqtalk rather than qmail-inject.
+19960229 change: incorporated qmail-setup patch from RN for better
+ error messages.
+19960228 change: added LSPAWN_BREAK in conf-unusual.h; used it in
+ lspawn.c. configurability requested by PJG.
+19960228 portability problem: on several systems, including everything
+ from DEC, select() on a pipe reader returns 1 if there aren't
+ any writers yet. pointed out by DS. impact: qmail-send chewed
+ up lots of CPU time. fix: trigger_set() now opens the pipe for
+ writing after opening it for reading. also added trynpbg1; on
+ working systems, no point in wasting the extra fd.
+19960228 change: qmail-alias uses .qmail sticky bit for forwardonly.
+19960228 change: qlist now sets sticky bit on .qmail file.
+19960228 change: un-documented +list.
+19960228 portability problem: on HP-UX and possibly other systems, the
+ supplementary group list does not include the gid. pointed out
+ by DS. impact: on those systems, tryshsgr could incorrectly set
+ hasshsgr; this would prevent qmail-send from running. fix: if
+ tryshsgr sees that getgroups() returns 0, now it actively sets
+ up a supplementary group list. added chkshsgr to make sure the
+ setgroups() will work.
+19960227 cleanup: eliminated GETSHORT in dns.c in favor of getshort().
+19960227 cleanup: deleted h->len < 3 test from qlist.c:dobody. tnx RN.
+19960227 change: replaced ~ with $HOME in INSTALL.mbox.
+19960227 change: added note about setgid-mail bits to INSTALL.mbox.
+19960227 change: added forward.1.
+19960227 change: modified forward to allow multiple addresses.
+19960227 change: modified forward to take an entire address, not just a
+ hostname.
+19960227 change: renamed qrelay as forward.
+19960227 change: added USEREXT support to qmail-alias.
+19960227 change: added -F to sendmail. the need for this was pointed
+ out by RN.
+19960227 change: added 2 bytes of slop in alloc().
+19960227 bug: received_setup() was not allowing space for the final \0.
+ impact: none; the line length is always between 65 and 75
+ characters, which gives at least 45 characters of slop with
+ existing malloc() implementations. fix: leave space. tnx NH.
+ note that the bug here is really in fmt_strncpy, which was
+ written before i was truly free of the curse of libc.a.
+19960227 change: added ALIAS_EMPTY in conf-unusual.h; used it in
+ qmail-alias.c. tnx PJG.
+19960227 change: added SPAWN_NUMD in conf-unusual.h; used it in spawn.c.
+19960227 change: added conf-unusual.h.
+19960227 cleanup: replaced sizeof(short) with 2 in dns.c.
+19960227 portability problem: on an Alpha, long is 64 bits. pointed out
+ by DS. impact: address lookups produced incorrect results on an
+ Alpha; qmail-makectl and qmail-remote failed. fix: replaced
+ sizeof(long) with 4 in dns.c.
+19960227 portability problem: on an Alpha, bzero() is declared properly
+ via sys/time.h. impact: couldn't compile on an Alpha. fix:
+ removed bzero() declaration from select.h. tnx DS.
+19960227 portability problem: under SCO, sys/file.h is not protected.
+ impact: couldn't compile under SCO. fix: include sys/types.h in
+ lock.c. tnx RN.
+19960219 change: added some .qmail-list hints to qlist.1.
+19960219 change: added +list support to qmail-alias.
+19960215 change: added THANKS.
+19960212 bug: foo was not initialized in qrelay.c. impact: depends on
+ the machine; on some machines, no effect; on other machines,
+ guaranteed core dump. fix: initialized foo. tnx DS.
+19960209 qmail 0.72, beta.
+19960209 change: qmail-alias now replaces dot, not slash, with colon.
+ also, qmeopen() makes sure that .qmail file is S_IFREG; I hope
+ this doesn't cause portability problems.
+19960209 change: added success-reporting procedure to INSTALL.
+19960208 change: added VERSION.
+19960208 change: added qlist2.
+19960208 change: revamped qlist interface. tnx RN.
+19960208 change: improved an error message in qlist.c.
+19960208 change: added qrelay. added relay section to HOWTO. tnx DS.
+19960208 cleanup: included substdio.h in qqtalk.h.
+19960207 bug: prioq_delmin() wasn't guaranteeing heap structure on the
+ last element. impact: scheduled passes could have been delayed,
+ conceivably as long as half an hour. fix: prioq_delmin() now
+ checks when it can safely move the last element.
+19960207 change: added maildirmake.1, maildir2mbox.1.
+19960206 change: revised logo paragraph in THOUGHTS.
+19960206 change: replaced nowhere.org with nowhere.mil in examples.
+ nowhere.org is a real domain... [sigh]
+19960206 change: added qreceipt.1.
+19960206 portability problem: IRIX doesn't have vfork. pointed out by
+ DS. impact: couldn't compile under IRIX. fix: added fork.h,
+ tryvfork.c.
+19960206 portability problem: IRIX doesn't have ranlib. pointed out by
+ DS. impact: couldn't compile under IRIX. fix: added IRIX
+ section in make-cmds.sh.
+19960205 cleanup: removed warning from substdio_copy() documentation; in
+ fact, substdio_copy() can be used safely on a fed substdio.
+19960205 change: added qbiff.1.
+19960204 change: implemented localnet. removed relevant paragraph from
+ THOUGHTS. tnx IS.
+19960204 change: in qmail-remote.8, explained the dangers of smarthost.
+ tnx IS.
+19960204 change: implemented virtualdomains wildcards. tnx JLH.
+19960203 change: qmail-send now handles virtualdomains _after_ locals.
+ updated INSTALL.qsmhook appropriately.
+19960203 change: added note to INSTALL.alias about ~ftp, ~www, ~uucp
+ being owned by root.
+19960130 cleanup: in qlist.c, renamed flagremoved as flagwasthere.
+19960130 bug: qmail-send did not pay attention to flagexitasap in
+ pass_dochan(). impact: qmail-send would happily start new
+ deliveries even if it wanted to exit. fix: qmail-send now
+ returns immediately in pass_selprep() and pass_dochan() if
+ flagexitasap.
+19960130 change: in qlist.c and qlist.1, renamed ext as list.
+19960130 change: in qlist.c and qlist.1, renamed manager as owner.
+19960129 qmail 0.71, beta.
+19960129 change: mentioned djb-qmailbeta in README. tnx MWE.
+19960129 change: added a note to INSTALL.mbox making clear that
+ Mailbox is in mbox format. tnx MWE.
+19960129 change: qlist now warns you if it didn't see any cmds. tnx RN.
+19960129 change: incorporated qlist patch from RN to refuse double subs.
+19960129 change: added qlist.1, contributed by RN. mangled it a bit.
+19960129 bug: comment was not allowed in ``phrase (comment) <route>'';
+ pointed out by RN. impact: some correct address lists could be
+ mis-parsed by qmail-inject or qlist. fix: token.c now allows
+ TOKEN_COMMENT in the appropriate scan.
+19960128 change: added a logo paragraph to THOUGHTS.
+19960127 change: implemented rcpthosts.
+19960127 change: split up some uses of putflush in qmail-remote,
+ qmail-smtpd, spawn.c. eliminated NODELAY and corresponding
+ paragraph in THOUGHTS.
+19960127 change: added quote2(). used it in qmail-alias, qmail-send,
+ qreceipt. now addresses are properly quoted in the From, To,
+ and internal Return-Path of bounces; the From and To of
+ receipts; and the Return-Path/RPLINE of delivered messages.
+ removed relevant paragraph from THOUGHTS.
+19960127 change: in RFCLOOPS, documented fact that Delivered-To address
+ is conventionally not quoted.
+19960127 change: knocked default SMTP timeouts down to 20 minutes.
+19960127 change: added INSTALL.ids. tnx RN.
+19960127 change: in INSTALL, noted that nogroup should already exist.
+19960127 bug: pass_selprep checked pqchan[c] even if pass[c].id. impact:
+ qmail-send wasted CPU time whenever more than one message was
+ waiting on a blocked channel. fix: pass_selprep now checks
+ !pass[c].id.
+19960127 bug: programs invoked from qmail-alias were immune to SIGPIPE.
+ impact: a delivery pipeline such as |yes|head -1000 would loop
+ forever, since yes does not check for write errors. fix: added
+ signal_uninit(). used it before execvp in qmail-alias. [sigh]
+19960127 cleanup: added date822fmt.c. used it in newfield.c, qmail-queue.
+19960127 cleanup: added fmt_uint0.c. used it in myctime.c, newfield.c,
+ qmail-queue.
+19960127 cleanup: added dnsdoe.c. used it in dnscname, dnsfq, dnsip,
+ dnsmxip, dnsptr.
+19960127 cleanup: eliminated temp from dnsfq.c.
+19960127 bug: gen_allocdefs was making assumptions incompatible with the
+ alloc_re interface. impact: qmail-send would dump core if you
+ ran out of memory. fix: changed alloc_re interface.
+19960126 portability problem: some versions of Linux don't have
+ net/route.h. pointed out by RN. impact: couldn't compile under
+ those versions. fix: ipme.c no longer includes net/route.h;
+ hopefully this won't cause new portability problems.
+19960126 change: added chmod instructions to INSTALL and INSTALL.alias.
+ tnx RN.
+19960126 change: INSTALL now refers to the traditional sendmail spot
+ (/usr/lib), not the BSD 4.4 spot (/usr/sbin). tnx RN.
+19960126 change: make auto-uids.h now creates auto-uids.h.tmp first.
+ thus, if someone disobeys the installation instructions, and
+ his make fails to remove targets upon error, he'll still be
+ okay. tnx RN.
+19960126 change: added forgeries.7.
+19960125 cleanup: eliminated flagverbose, flagmetoo in sendmail.
+19960125 cleanup: added substdio_copy.c. used it at several spots.
+19960125 cleanup: added constmap.c. qmail-send now uses constmap for
+ locals and virtualdomains. this will speed things up: no
+ problem now to have thousands of virtual domains. removed
+ relevant paragraph from THOUGHTS.
+19960125 change: added linux section in find-systype. this will affect
+ linux-* systypes. tnx RN for relevant info.
+19960124 change: added -od, -oe, -p, -f to sendmail. the need for
+ these was pointed out by TN.
+19960124 bug: qmail-smtpd was reading from descriptor 1. impact: none;
+ in normal use, both 0 and 1 point to the network. fix: changed
+ 1 to 0.
+19960124 bug: qmail-alias treated any .qmail open failure as permanent.
+ impact: if a .qmail file was temporarily unopenable (e.g.,
+ because of NFS), it was incorrectly ignored. fix: qmail-alias
+ now dies QLX_SOFT on any open failure other than ENOENT.
+19960124 change: added freebsd section in find-systype, same as bsd.os
+ section. this will affect freebsd-* systypes.
+19960124 cleanup: find-systype now immediately converts sys to lowercase.
+19960124 change: qmail-setup now copies man pages into /var/qmail/man;
+ qmail-check checks /var/qmail/man. using .0 style, which might
+ cause trouble on various machines, but better than not trying.
+19960124 change: in qmail-remote.c, changed perm_control to temp_control
+ (and D to Z, thanks); thus failure to read control files (e.g.,
+ because of permissions) is now a temporary error.
+19960124 bug: in qmail-remote.c, temp_chdir() used D, not Z. impact: if
+ chdir() to CONF_HOME failed (e.g., because of NFS), message
+ would be bounced. fix: changed D to Z.
+19960124 change: reorganized README.
+19960124 portability problem: Linux has the fifo kernel bug that I had
+ hoped I'd never run into. impact: messages under Linux (and any
+ other systems with this bug) were picked up only in sweeps, not
+ instantly. fix: triggerpull.c now writes a byte (non-blocking)
+ to the fifo. updated INTERNALS accordingly.
+19960124 bug: in qmail-remote.c, if quit() saw a remote write error, it
+ would call writeerr() even though a message report had already
+ been produced. impact: the mess report would include an extra
+ ``ZConnected but communications failed,'' which was confusing
+ to humans. fix: quit() now simply skips the wait-for-QUIT
+ smtpcode() upon write error.
+19960124 portability problem: Linux does not have SIGSYS or SIGEMT.
+ impact: couldn't compile under Linux. fix: added appropriate
+ ifdefs in signal.c.

-
-
-1. Controlling the appearance of outgoing messages
-
-
-1.1. How do I set up host masquerading? All the users on this host,
-zippy.af.mil, are users on af.mil. When joe sends a message to fred, the
-message should say ``From: joe@af.mil'' and ``To: fred@af.mil'', without
-``zippy'' anywhere.
-
-Answer: echo af.mil > /var/qmail/control/defaulthost; chmod 644
-/var/qmail/control/defaulthost.
-
-
-1.2. How do I set up user masquerading? I'd like my own From lines to
-show boss@af.mil rather than god@heaven.af.mil.
-
-Answer: Add MAILHOST=af.mil and MAILUSER=boss to your environment. To
-override From lines supplied by your MUA, add QMAILINJECT=f to your
-environment.
-
-
-1.3. How do I set up Mail-Followup-To automatically? When I send a
-message to the sos@heaven.af.mil mailing list, I'd like to include
-``Mail-Followup-To: sos@heaven.af.mil''.
-
-Answer: Add QMAILMFTFILE=$HOME/.lists to your environment, and put
-sos@heaven.af.mil into ~/.lists.
-
-
-
-2. Routing outgoing messages
-
-
-2.1. How do I send local messages to another host? All the mail for
-af.mil should be delivered to our disk server, pokey.af.mil. I've set up
-an MX from af.mil to pokey.af.mil, but when a user on the af.mil host
-sends a message to boss@af.mil, af.mil tries to deliver it locally. How
-do I stop that?
-
-Answer: Remove af.mil from /var/qmail/control/locals. If qmail-send is
-running, give it a HUP. Make sure the MX is set up properly before you
-do this. Also make sure that pokey can receive mail for af.mil---see
-question 3.1.
-
-
-2.2. How do I set up a null client? I'd like zippy.af.mil to
-send all mail to bigbang.af.mil.
-
-Answer: echo :bigbang.af.mil > /var/qmail/control/smtproutes;
-chmod 644 /var/qmail/control/smtproutes. Disable local delivery as in
-question 2.1. Turn off qmail-smtpd in /etc/inetd.conf.
-
-
-2.3. How do I send outgoing mail through UUCP? I need qmail to send all
-outgoing mail via UUCP to my upstream UUCP site, gonzo.
-
-Answer: Put
-
- :alias-uucp
-
-into control/virtualdomains and
-
- |preline -df /usr/bin/uux - -r -gC
- -a"${SENDER:-MAILER-DAEMON}" gonzo!rmail "($DEFAULT@$HOST)"
-
-(all on one line) into ~alias/.qmail-uucp-default. (For some UUCP
-software you will need to use -d instead of -df.) If qmail-send is
-running, give it a HUP.
-
-
-2.4. How do I set up a separate queue for a SLIP/PPP link?
-
-Answer: Use serialmail (https://cr.yp.to/serialmail.html).
-
-
-2.5. How do I deal with ``CNAME lookup failed temporarily''? The log
-showed that a message was deferred for this reason. Why is qmail doing
-CNAME lookups, anyway?
-
-Answer: The SMTP standard does not permit aliased hostnames, so qmail
-has to do a CNAME lookup in DNS for every recipient host. If the
-relevant DNS server is down, qmail defers the message. It will try again
-soon.
-
-
-
-3. Routing incoming messages by host
-
-
-3.1. How do I receive mail for another host name? I'd like our disk
-server, pokey.af.mil, to receive mail addressed to af.mil. I've set up
-an MX from af.mil to pokey.af.mil, but how do I get pokey to treat
-af.mil as a name for the local host?
-
-Answer: Add af.mil to /var/qmail/control/locals and to
-/var/qmail/control/rcpthosts. If qmail-send is running, give it a HUP
-(or do svc -h /var/run/qmail if qmail is supervised).
-
-
-3.2. How do I set up a virtual domain? I'd like any mail for
-nowhere.mil, including root@nowhere.mil and postmaster@nowhere.mil and
-so on, to be delivered to Bob. I've set up the MX already.
-
-Answer: Put
-
- nowhere.mil:bob
-
-into control/virtualdomains. Add nowhere.mil to control/rcpthosts. If
-qmail-send is running, give it a HUP (or do svc -h /var/run/qmail if
-qmail is supervised).
-
-Now mail for whatever@nowhere.mil will be delivered locally to
-bob-whatever. Bob can set up ~bob/.qmail-default to catch all the
-possible addresses, ~bob/.qmail-info to catch info@nowhere.mil, etc.
-
-
-3.3. How do I set up several virtual domains for one user? Bob wants
-another virtual domain, everywhere.org, but he wants to handle
-nowhere.mil users and everywhere.org users differently. How can we do
-that without setting up a second account?
-
-Answer: Put two lines into control/virtualdomains:
-
- nowhere.mil:bob-nowhere
- everywhere.org:bob-everywhere
-
-Add nowhere.mil and everywhere.org to control/rcpthosts. If qmail-send
-is running, give it a HUP (or do svc -h /var/run/qmail if qmail is
-supervised).
-
-Now Bob can set up separate .qmail-nowhere-* and everywhere-* files. He
-can even set up .qmail-nowhere-default and .qmail-everywhere-default.
-
-
-
-4. Routing incoming messages by user
-
-
-4.1. How do I forward unrecognized usernames to another host? I'd like
-to set up a LUSER_RELAY pointing at bigbang.af.mil.
-
-Answer: Put
-
- | forward "$LOCAL"@bigbang.af.mil
-
-into ~alias/.qmail-default.
-
-
-4.2. How do I set up a mailing list? I'd like me-sos@my.host.name to be
-forwarded to a bunch of people.
-
-Answer: Put a list of addresses into ~me/.qmail-sos, one per line. Then
-incoming mail for me-sos will be forwarded to each of those addresses.
-You should also touch ~me/.qmail-sos-owner so that bounces come back to
-you rather than the original sender.
-
-Alternative: ezmlm (https://cr.yp.to/ezmlm.html) is a modern
-mailing list manager, supporting automatic subscriptions, confirmations,
-archives, fully automatic bounce handling (including warnings to
-subscribers saying which messages they've missed), and more.
-
-
-4.3. How do I use majordomo with qmail?
-
-Answer: See ftp://ftp.eyrie.org/pub/software/majordomo/mjqmail and
-http://www.qmail.org for various methods. majordomo 2.0 is expected to
-support qmail directly.
-
-Beware that majordomo's lists are not crashproof.
-
-
-
-4.4. How do I use procmail with qmail?
-
-Answer: Put
-
- | preline procmail
-
-into ~/.qmail. You'll have to use a full path for procmail unless
-procmail is in the system's startup PATH. Note that procmail will try to
-deliver to /var/spool/mail/$USER by default; to change this, see
-INSTALL.mbox.
-
-
-4.5. How do I use elm's filter with qmail?
-
-Answer: Put
-
- | preline filter
-
-into ~/.qmail. You'll have to use a full path for filter unless filter
-is in the system's startup PATH.
-
-
-4.6. How do I create aliases with dots? I tried setting up
-~alias/.qmail-P.D.Q.Bach, but it doesn't do anything.
-
-Answer: Use .qmail-p:d:q:bach. Dots are converted to colons, and
-uppercase is converted to lowercase.
-
-
-4.7. How do I use sendmail's .forward files with qmail?
-
-Answer: Install the dot-forward package
-(https://cr.yp.to/dot-forward.html).
-
-
-4.8. How do I use sendmail's /etc/aliases with qmail?
-
-Answer: Install the fastforward package
-(https://cr.yp.to/fastforward.html).
-
-
-To make majordomo 1.94.* work with qmail under fastforward, insert
-
- # system("newinclude","$listdir/$clean_list");
-
-before the lclose(LIST) line in do_subscribe and do_unsubscribe in
-majordomo. See ftp://ftp.eyrie.org/pub/software/majordomo/mjqmail
-and http://www.qmail.org for other methods of using majordomo with
-qmail. majordomo 2.0 is expected to support qmail directly.
-
-4.9. How do I make qmail defer messages during NFS or NIS outages? If
-~joe suddenly disappears, I'd like mail for joe to be deferred.
-
-Answer: Build a qmail-users database, so that qmail no longer checks
-home directories and the password database. This takes three steps.
-First, put your complete user list (including local and NIS passwords)
-into /var/qmail/users/passwd. Second, run
-
- # qmail-pw2u -h < /var/qmail/users/passwd > /var/qmail/users/assign
-
-Here -h means that every user must have a home directory; if you happen
-to run qmail-pw2u during an NFS outage, it will print an error message
-and stop. Third, run
-
- # qmail-newu
-
-Make sure to rebuild the database whenever you change your user list.
-
-
-4.10. How do I change which account controls an address? I set up
-~alias/.qmail-www, but qmail is looking at ~www/.qmail instead.
-
-Answer: If you do
-
- # chown root ~www
-
-then qmail will no longer consider www to be a user; see qmail-getpw.0.
-For more precise control over address assignments, see qmail-users.0.
-
-
-
-5. Setting up servers
-
-
-5.1. How do I run qmail-smtpd under tcpserver? inetd is barfing at high
-loads, cutting off service for ten-minute stretches. I'd also like
-better connection logging.
-
-Answer: Install ucspi-tcp (https://cr.yp.to/ucspi-tcp.html). Remove the
-smtp line from /etc/inetd.conf, and put the two lines
-
- tcpserver -v -u 7770 -g 2108 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd \
- 2>&1 | /var/qmail/bin/splogger smtpd 3 &
-
-into your system startup files. Replace 7770 with your qmaild uid, and
-replace 2108 with your nofiles gid. Don't forget the &. The change will
-take effect at your next reboot.
-
-By default, tcpserver allows at most 40 simultaneous qmail-smtpd
-processes. To raise this limit to 400, use tcpserver -c 400.
-
-
-5.2. How do I set up qmail-qmtpd?
-
-Answer: Two steps. First, put a
-
- qmtp 209/tcp
-
-line into /etc/services. Second, put (all on one line)
-
- qmtp stream tcp nowait qmaild
- /var/qmail/bin/tcp-env tcp-env /var/qmail/bin/qmail-qmtpd
-
-into /etc/inetd.conf, and give inetd a HUP.
-
-If you have tcpserver installed, skip the inetd step, and set up
-
- tcpserver -u 7770 -g 2108 0 qmtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-qmtpd &
-
-replacing 7770 and 2108 with the qmaild uid and nofiles gid. See
-question 5.1 for more details on tcpserver.
-
-
-5.3. How do I set up qmail-pop3d? My old POP server works with mbox
-delivery; I'd like to switch to maildir delivery.
-
-Answer: Install ucspi-tcp (https://cr.yp.to/ucspi-tcp.html) and
-checkpassword (https://cr.yp.to/checkpwd.html). Put
-
- tcpserver 0 110 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup YOURHOST \
- /bin/checkpassword /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir &
-
-(on two lines) into your system boot scripts; replace YOURHOST with your
-host's fully qualified domain name. Set up Maildir delivery for any user
-who wants to read mail via POP. The new service will start after you
-reboot.
-
-Security note: You should do this only within a secure network; otherwise
-an eavesdropper can steal passwords.
-
-There are several programs that can be substituted for checkpassword.
-See https://cr.yp.to/qmail/toaster.html for more information.
-
-
-5.4. How do I allow selected clients to use this host as a relay? I see
-that qmail-smtpd rejects messages to any host not listed in
-control/rcpthosts.
-
-Answer: Three steps. First, install tcp-wrappers, available separately,
-including hosts_options. Second, change your qmail-smtpd line in
-inetd.conf to
-
- smtp stream tcp nowait qmaild /usr/local/bin/tcpd
- /var/qmail/bin/tcp-env /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd
-
-(all on one line) and give inetd a HUP. Third, in tcpd's hosts.allow,
-make a line setting the environment variable RELAYCLIENT to the empty
-string for the selected clients:
-
- tcp-env: 1.2.3.4, 1.2.3.5: setenv = RELAYCLIENT
-
-Here 1.2.3.4 and 1.2.3.5 are the clients' IP addresses. qmail-smtpd
-ignores control/rcpthosts when RELAYCLIENT is set. (It also appends
-RELAYCLIENT to each envelope recipient address. See question 5.5 for an
-application.)
-
-Alternative procedure, if you are using tcpserver 0.80 or above: Create
-/etc/tcp.smtp containing
-
- 1.2.3.6:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""
- 127.:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""
-
-to allow clients with IP addresses 1.2.3.6 and 127.*. Run
-
- tcprules /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb /etc/tcp.smtp.tmp < /etc/tcp.smtp
-
-Finally, insert
-
- -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb
-
-after tcpserver in your qmail-smtpd invocation.
-
-
-5.5. How do I fix up messages from broken SMTP clients?
-
-Answer: Three steps. First, put
-
- | bouncesaying 'Permission denied' [ "@$HOST" != "@fixme" ]
- | qmail-inject -f "$SENDER" -- "$DEFAULT"
-
-into ~alias/.qmail-fixup-default. Second, put
-
- fixme:fixup
-
-into /var/qmail/control/virtualdomains, and give qmail-send a HUP.
-Third, follow the procedure in question 5.4, but set RELAYCLIENT to the
-string ``@fixme'':
-
- tcp-env: 1.2.3.6, 1.2.3.7: setenv = RELAYCLIENT @fixme
-
-Here 1.2.3.6 and 1.2.3.7 are the clients' IP addresses. If you are using
-tcpserver instead of inetd and tcpd, put
-
- 1.2.3.6:allow,RELAYCLIENT="@fixme"
- 1.2.3.7:allow,RELAYCLIENT="@fixme"
-
-into /etc/tcp.smtp, and run tcprules as in question 5.4.
-
-
-5.6. How do I set up qmail-qmqpd? I'd like to allow fast queueing of
-outgoing mail from authorized clients.
-
-Answer: Make sure you have installed tcpserver 0.80 or above. Create
-/etc/qmqp.tcp in tcprules format to allow connections from authorized
-hosts. For example, if queueing is allowed from 1.2.3.*:
-
- 1.2.3.:allow
- :deny
-
-Convert /etc/qmqp.tcp to /etc/qmqp.cdb:
-
- tcprules /etc/qmqp.cdb /etc/qmqp.tmp < /etc/qmqp.tcp
-
-Finally, set up
-
- tcpserver -x /etc/qmqp.cdb -u 7770 -g 2108 0 628 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-qmqpd &
-
-replacing 7770 and 2108 with the qmaild uid and nofiles gid. See
-question 5.1 for more details on tcpserver.
-
-
-
-6. Configuring MUAs to work with qmail
-
-
-6.1. How do I make BSD mail generate a Date with the local time zone?
-When I send mail, I'd rather use the local time zone than GMT, since
-some MUAs don't know how to display Date in the receiver's time zone.
-
-Answer: Put
-
- set sendmail=/var/qmail/bin/datemail
-
-into your .mailrc or your system-wide Mail.rc. Beware that BSD mail is
-neither secure nor reliable.
-
-
-6.2. How do I make pine work with qmail?
-
-Answer: Put
-
- sendmail-path=/usr/lib/sendmail -oem -oi -t
-
-into /usr/local/lib/pine.conf. (This will work with sendmail too.)
-Beware that pine is neither secure nor reliable.
-
-
-6.3. How do I make MH work with qmail?
-
-Answer: Put
-
- postproc: /usr/mh/lib/spost
-
-into each user's .mh_profile. (This will work with sendmail too.) Beware
-that MH is neither secure nor reliable.
-
-
-6.4. How do I stop Sun's dtcm from hanging?
-
-Answer: There is a novice programming error in dtcm, known as ``failure
-to close the output side of the pipe in the child.'' Sun has, at the
-time of this writing, not yet provided a patch. Sorry.
-
-
-
-7. Managing the mail system
-
-
-7.1. How do I safely stop qmail-send? Back when we were running
-sendmail, it was always tricky to kill sendmail without risking the loss
-of current deliveries; what should I do with qmail-send?
-
-Answer: Go ahead and kill the qmail-send process. It will shut down
-cleanly. Wait for ``exiting'' to show up in the log. To restart qmail,
-run /var/qmail/rc the same way it is run from your system boot scripts,
-with the proper PATH, resource limits, etc.
-
-Alternative, if qmail is supervised: svc -t /var/run/qmail. The
-supervise process will kill qmail, wait for it to stop, and restart it.
-Use -d instead of -t if you don't want qmail to restart automatically;
-to manually restart it, use -u.
-
-
-7.2. How do I manually run the queue? I'd like qmail to try delivering
-all the remote messages right now.
-
-Answer: Give the qmail-send process an ALRM. (Do svc -a /var/run/qmail
-if qmail is supervised.)
-
-You may want to run qmail-tcpok first, to guarantee that qmail-remote
-will try all addresses. Normally, if an address fails repeatedly,
-qmail-remote leaves it alone for an hour.
-
-
-7.3. How do I rejuvenate a message? Somebody broke into Eric's computer
-again; it's going to be down for at least another two days. I know Eric
-has been expecting an important message---in fact, I see it sitting here
-in /var/qmail/queue/mess/15/26902. It's been in the queue for six days;
-how can I make sure it isn't bounced tomorrow?
-
-Answer: Just touch /var/qmail/queue/info/15/26902. (This is the only
-form of queue modification that's safe while qmail is running.)
-
-
-7.4. How do I organize a big network? I have a lot of machines, and I
-don't know where to start.
-
-Answer: First, choose the domain name where your users will receive
-mail. This is normally the shortest domain name you control. If you are
-in charge of *.movie.edu, you can use addresses like joe@movie.edu.
-
-Second, choose the machine that will know what to do with different
-users at movie.edu. Set up a host name in DNS for this machine:
-
- mailhost.movie.edu IN A 1.2.3.4
- 4.3.2.1.in-addr.arpa IN PTR mailhost.movie.edu
-
-Here 1.2.3.4 is the IP address of that machine.
-
-Third, make a list of machines where mail should end up. For example, if
-mail for Bob should end up on Bob's workstation, put Bob's workstation
-onto the list. For each of these machines, set up a host name in DNS:
-
- bobshost.movie.edu IN A 1.2.3.7
- 7.3.2.1.in-addr.arpa IN PTR bobshost.movie.edu
-
-Fourth, install qmail on bobshost.movie.edu. qmail will automatically
-configure itself to accept messages for bob@bobshost.movie.edu and
-deliver them to ~bob/Mailbox on bobshost. Do the same for the other
-machines where mail should end up.
-
-Fifth, install qmail on mailhost.movie.edu. Put
-
- movie.edu:alias-movie
-
-into control/virtualdomains on mailhost. Then forward bob@movie.edu to
-bob@bobshost.movie.edu, by putting
-
- bob@bobshost.movie.edu
-
-into ~alias/.qmail-movie-bob. Do the same for other users.
-
-Sixth, put movie.edu into control/rcpthosts on mailhost.movie.edu, so
-that mailhost.movie.edu will accept messages for users at movie.edu.
-
-Seventh, set up an MX record in DNS to deliver movie.edu messages to
-mailhost:
-
- movie.edu IN MX 10 mailhost.movie.edu
-
-Eighth, on all your machines, put movie.edu into control/defaulthost.
-
-
-7.5. How do I back up and restore the queue disk?
-
-Answer: You can't.
-
-One difficulty is that you can't get a consistent snapshot of the queue
-while qmail-send is running. Another difficulty is that messages in the
-queue must have filenames that match their inode numbers.
-
-However, the big problem is that backups---even twice-daily backups---
-are far too unreliable for mail. If your disk dies, there will be very
-little overlap between the messages saved in the last backup and the
-messages that were lost.
-
-There are several ways to add real reliability to a mail server. Battery
-backups will keep your server alive, letting you park the disk to avoid
-a head crash, when the power goes out. Solid-state disks have their own
-battery backups. RAID boxes let you replace dead disks without losing
-any data.
-
-
-7.6. How do I run a supervised copy of qmail? svc sounds useful.
-
-Answer: Install daemontools (https://cr.yp.to/daemontools.html).
-Create a /var/run/qmail directory. Change
-
- /var/qmail/rc
-
-to
-
- supervise /var/run/qmail /var/qmail/rc
-
-in your boot scripts. Make sure that supervise is in the startup PATH.
-Now you can use svc to stop or restart qmail, and svstat to check
-whether qmail is running.
-
-
-7.7. How do I avoid syslog? It chews up a lot of CPU time and isn't
-reliable.
-
-Answer: Install daemontools (https://cr.yp.to/daemontools.html).
-Make a /var/log/qmail directory, owned by qmaill, mode 2700. Do
-
- qmail-start ./Mailbox /usr/local/bin/accustamp \
- | setuser qmaill /usr/local/bin/cyclog /var/log/qmail &
-
-in /var/qmail/rc.
-
-If you are logging tcpserver connections, make a /var/log/smtpd
-directory, and use cyclog /var/log/smtpd for tcpserver. You shouldn't
-run several copies of cyclog with the same log directory.
-
-By default, cyclog keeps 10 automatically rotated log files, each
-containing up to 100KB of log data. To keep 20 files with 1MB each, use
-cyclog -s 1000000 -n 20.
-
-
-
-8. Miscellany
-
-
-8.1. How do I tell qmail to do more deliveries at once? It's running
-only 20 parallel qmail-remote processes.
-
-Answer: Decide how many deliveries you want to allow at once. Put that
-number into control/concurrencyremote. Restart qmail-send as in question
-7.1. If your system has resource limits, make sure you set the
-descriptors limit to at least double the concurrency plus 5; otherwise
-you'll get lots of unnecessary deferrals whenever a big burst of mail
-shows up. Note that qmail also imposes a compile-time concurrency limit,
-120 by default; this is set in conf-spawn.
-
-
-8.2. How do I keep a copy of all incoming and outgoing mail messages?
-
-Answer: Set QUEUE_EXTRA to "Tlog\0" and QUEUE_EXTRALEN to 5 in extra.h.
-Recompile qmail. Put ./msg-log into ~alias/.qmail-log.
-
-You can also use QUEUE_EXTRA to, e.g., record the Message-ID of every
-message: run
-
- | awk '/^$/ { exit } /^[mM][eE][sS][sS][aA][gG][eE]-/ { print }'
-
-from ~alias/.qmail-log.
-
-
-8.3. How do I switch slowly from sendmail to qmail? I'm thinking of
-moving the heaven.af.mil network over to qmail, but first I'd like to
-give my users a chance to try out qmail without affecting current
-sendmail deliveries. We're using NFS.
-
-Answer: Find a host in your network, say pc.heaven.af.mil, that isn't
-running an SMTP server. (If addresses at pc.heaven.af.mil are used, you
-should already have an MX pointing pc.heaven.af.mil to your mail hub.)
-
-Set up a new MX record pointing lists.heaven.af.mil to pc.heaven.af.mil.
-Install qmail on pc.heaven.af.mil. Replace pc with lists in the control
-files. Make the qmail man pages available on all your machines.
-
-Now tell your users about qmail. A user can forward joe@heaven.af.mil to
-joe@lists.heaven.af.mil to get ~/Mailbox delivery; he can set up .qmail
-files; he can start running his own mailing lists @lists.heaven.af.mil.
-
-When you're ready to turn sendmail off, you can set up pc.heaven.af.mil
-as your new mail hub. Add heaven.af.mil to control/locals, and change
-the heaven.af.mil MX to point to pc.heaven.af.mil. Make sure you leave
-lists.heaven.af.mil in control/locals so that transition addresses will
-continue to work.

+
+
+
+1. Controlling the appearance of outgoing messages
+
+
+1.1. How do I set up host masquerading? All the users on this host,
+zippy.af.mil, are users on af.mil. When joe sends a message to fred, the
+message should say ``From: joe@af.mil'' and ``To: fred@af.mil'', without
+``zippy'' anywhere.
+
+Answer: echo af.mil > /var/qmail/control/defaulthost; chmod 644
+/var/qmail/control/defaulthost.
+
+
+1.2. How do I set up user masquerading? I'd like my own From lines to
+show boss@af.mil rather than god@heaven.af.mil.
+
+Answer: Add MAILHOST=af.mil and MAILUSER=boss to your environment. To
+override From lines supplied by your MUA, add QMAILINJECT=f to your
+environment.
+
+
+1.3. How do I set up Mail-Followup-To automatically? When I send a
+message to the sos@heaven.af.mil mailing list, I'd like to include
+``Mail-Followup-To: sos@heaven.af.mil''.
+
+Answer: Add QMAILMFTFILE=$HOME/.lists to your environment, and put
+sos@heaven.af.mil into ~/.lists.
+
+
+
+2. Routing outgoing messages
+
+
+2.1. How do I send local messages to another host? All the mail for
+af.mil should be delivered to our disk server, pokey.af.mil. I've set up
+an MX from af.mil to pokey.af.mil, but when a user on the af.mil host
+sends a message to boss@af.mil, af.mil tries to deliver it locally. How
+do I stop that?
+
+Answer: Remove af.mil from /var/qmail/control/locals. If qmail-send is
+running, give it a HUP. Make sure the MX is set up properly before you
+do this. Also make sure that pokey can receive mail for af.mil---see
+question 3.1.
+
+
+2.2. How do I set up a null client? I'd like zippy.af.mil to
+send all mail to bigbang.af.mil.
+
+Answer: echo :bigbang.af.mil > /var/qmail/control/smtproutes;
+chmod 644 /var/qmail/control/smtproutes. Disable local delivery as in
+question 2.1. Turn off qmail-smtpd in /etc/inetd.conf.
+
+
+2.3. How do I send outgoing mail through UUCP? I need qmail to send all
+outgoing mail via UUCP to my upstream UUCP site, gonzo.
+
+Answer: Put
+
+ :alias-uucp
+
+into control/virtualdomains and
+
+ |preline -df /usr/bin/uux - -r -gC
+ -a"${SENDER:-MAILER-DAEMON}" gonzo!rmail "($DEFAULT@$HOST)"
+
+(all on one line) into ~alias/.qmail-uucp-default. (For some UUCP
+software you will need to use -d instead of -df.) If qmail-send is
+running, give it a HUP.
+
+
+2.4. How do I set up a separate queue for a SLIP/PPP link?
+
+Answer: Use serialmail (https://cr.yp.to/serialmail.html).
+
+
+2.5. How do I deal with ``CNAME lookup failed temporarily''? The log
+showed that a message was deferred for this reason. Why is qmail doing
+CNAME lookups, anyway?
+
+Answer: The SMTP standard does not permit aliased hostnames, so qmail
+has to do a CNAME lookup in DNS for every recipient host. If the
+relevant DNS server is down, qmail defers the message. It will try again
+soon.
+
+
+
+3. Routing incoming messages by host
+
+
+3.1. How do I receive mail for another host name? I'd like our disk
+server, pokey.af.mil, to receive mail addressed to af.mil. I've set up
+an MX from af.mil to pokey.af.mil, but how do I get pokey to treat
+af.mil as a name for the local host?
+
+Answer: Add af.mil to /var/qmail/control/locals and to
+/var/qmail/control/rcpthosts. If qmail-send is running, give it a HUP
+(or do svc -h /var/run/qmail if qmail is supervised).
+
+
+3.2. How do I set up a virtual domain? I'd like any mail for
+nowhere.mil, including root@nowhere.mil and postmaster@nowhere.mil and
+so on, to be delivered to Bob. I've set up the MX already.
+
+Answer: Put
+
+ nowhere.mil:bob
+
+into control/virtualdomains. Add nowhere.mil to control/rcpthosts. If
+qmail-send is running, give it a HUP (or do svc -h /var/run/qmail if
+qmail is supervised).
+
+Now mail for whatever@nowhere.mil will be delivered locally to
+bob-whatever. Bob can set up ~bob/.qmail-default to catch all the
+possible addresses, ~bob/.qmail-info to catch info@nowhere.mil, etc.
+
+
+3.3. How do I set up several virtual domains for one user? Bob wants
+another virtual domain, everywhere.org, but he wants to handle
+nowhere.mil users and everywhere.org users differently. How can we do
+that without setting up a second account?
+
+Answer: Put two lines into control/virtualdomains:
+
+ nowhere.mil:bob-nowhere
+ everywhere.org:bob-everywhere
+
+Add nowhere.mil and everywhere.org to control/rcpthosts. If qmail-send
+is running, give it a HUP (or do svc -h /var/run/qmail if qmail is
+supervised).
+
+Now Bob can set up separate .qmail-nowhere-* and everywhere-* files. He
+can even set up .qmail-nowhere-default and .qmail-everywhere-default.
+
+
+
+4. Routing incoming messages by user
+
+
+4.1. How do I forward unrecognized usernames to another host? I'd like
+to set up a LUSER_RELAY pointing at bigbang.af.mil.
+
+Answer: Put
+
+ | forward "$LOCAL"@bigbang.af.mil
+
+into ~alias/.qmail-default.
+
+
+4.2. How do I set up a mailing list? I'd like me-sos@my.host.name to be
+forwarded to a bunch of people.
+
+Answer: Put a list of addresses into ~me/.qmail-sos, one per line. Then
+incoming mail for me-sos will be forwarded to each of those addresses.
+You should also touch ~me/.qmail-sos-owner so that bounces come back to
+you rather than the original sender.
+
+Alternative: ezmlm (https://cr.yp.to/ezmlm.html) is a modern
+mailing list manager, supporting automatic subscriptions, confirmations,
+archives, fully automatic bounce handling (including warnings to
+subscribers saying which messages they've missed), and more.
+
+
+4.3. How do I use majordomo with qmail?
+
+Answer: See ftp://ftp.eyrie.org/pub/software/majordomo/mjqmail and
+http://www.qmail.org for various methods. majordomo 2.0 is expected to
+support qmail directly.
+
+Beware that majordomo's lists are not crashproof.
+
+
+
+4.4. How do I use procmail with qmail?
+
+Answer: Put
+
+ | preline procmail
+
+into ~/.qmail. You'll have to use a full path for procmail unless
+procmail is in the system's startup PATH. Note that procmail will try to
+deliver to /var/spool/mail/$USER by default; to change this, see
+INSTALL.mbox.md.
+
+
+4.5. How do I use elm's filter with qmail?
+
+Answer: Put
+
+ | preline filter
+
+into ~/.qmail. You'll have to use a full path for filter unless filter
+is in the system's startup PATH.
+
+
+4.6. How do I create aliases with dots? I tried setting up
+~alias/.qmail-P.D.Q.Bach, but it doesn't do anything.
+
+Answer: Use .qmail-p:d:q:bach. Dots are converted to colons, and
+uppercase is converted to lowercase.
+
+
+4.7. How do I use sendmail's .forward files with qmail?
+
+Answer: Install the dot-forward package
+(https://cr.yp.to/dot-forward.html).
+
+
+4.8. How do I use sendmail's /etc/aliases with qmail?
+
+Answer: Install the fastforward package
+(https://cr.yp.to/fastforward.html).
+
+
+To make majordomo 1.94.* work with qmail under fastforward, insert
+
+ # system("newinclude","$listdir/$clean_list");
+
+before the lclose(LIST) line in do_subscribe and do_unsubscribe in
+majordomo. See ftp://ftp.eyrie.org/pub/software/majordomo/mjqmail
+and http://www.qmail.org for other methods of using majordomo with
+qmail. majordomo 2.0 is expected to support qmail directly.
+
+4.9. How do I make qmail defer messages during NFS or NIS outages? If
+~joe suddenly disappears, I'd like mail for joe to be deferred.
+
+Answer: Build a qmail-users database, so that qmail no longer checks
+home directories and the password database. This takes three steps.
+First, put your complete user list (including local and NIS passwords)
+into /var/qmail/users/passwd. Second, run
+
+ # qmail-pw2u -h < /var/qmail/users/passwd > /var/qmail/users/assign
+
+Here -h means that every user must have a home directory; if you happen
+to run qmail-pw2u during an NFS outage, it will print an error message
+and stop. Third, run
+
+ # qmail-newu
+
+Make sure to rebuild the database whenever you change your user list.
+
+
+4.10. How do I change which account controls an address? I set up
+~alias/.qmail-www, but qmail is looking at ~www/.qmail instead.
+
+Answer: If you do
+
+ # chown root ~www
+
+then qmail will no longer consider www to be a user; see qmail-getpw.0.
+For more precise control over address assignments, see qmail-users.0.
+
+
+
+5. Setting up servers
+
+
+5.1. How do I run qmail-smtpd under tcpserver? inetd is barfing at high
+loads, cutting off service for ten-minute stretches. I'd also like
+better connection logging.
+
+Answer: Install ucspi-tcp (https://cr.yp.to/ucspi-tcp.html). Remove the
+smtp line from /etc/inetd.conf, and put the two lines
+
+ tcpserver -v -u 7770 -g 2108 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd \
+ 2>&1 | /var/qmail/bin/splogger smtpd 3 &
+
+into your system startup files. Replace 7770 with your qmaild uid, and
+replace 2108 with your nofiles gid. Don't forget the &. The change will
+take effect at your next reboot.
+
+By default, tcpserver allows at most 40 simultaneous qmail-smtpd
+processes. To raise this limit to 400, use tcpserver -c 400.
+
+
+5.2. How do I set up qmail-qmtpd?
+
+Answer: Two steps. First, put a
+
+ qmtp 209/tcp
+
+line into /etc/services. Second, put (all on one line)
+
+ qmtp stream tcp nowait qmaild
+ /var/qmail/bin/tcp-env tcp-env /var/qmail/bin/qmail-qmtpd
+
+into /etc/inetd.conf, and give inetd a HUP.
+
+If you have tcpserver installed, skip the inetd step, and set up
+
+ tcpserver -u 7770 -g 2108 0 qmtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-qmtpd &
+
+replacing 7770 and 2108 with the qmaild uid and nofiles gid. See
+question 5.1 for more details on tcpserver.
+
+
+5.3. How do I set up qmail-pop3d? My old POP server works with mbox
+delivery; I'd like to switch to maildir delivery.
+
+Answer: Install ucspi-tcp (https://cr.yp.to/ucspi-tcp.html) and
+checkpassword (https://cr.yp.to/checkpwd.html). Put
+
+ tcpserver 0 110 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup YOURHOST \
+ /bin/checkpassword /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir &
+
+(on two lines) into your system boot scripts; replace YOURHOST with your
+host's fully qualified domain name. Set up Maildir delivery for any user
+who wants to read mail via POP. The new service will start after you
+reboot.
+
+Security note: You should do this only within a secure network; otherwise
+an eavesdropper can steal passwords.
+
+There are several programs that can be substituted for checkpassword.
+See https://cr.yp.to/qmail/toaster.html for more information.
+
+
+5.4. How do I allow selected clients to use this host as a relay? I see
+that qmail-smtpd rejects messages to any host not listed in
+control/rcpthosts.
+
+Answer: Three steps. First, install tcp-wrappers, available separately,
+including hosts_options. Second, change your qmail-smtpd line in
+inetd.conf to
+
+ smtp stream tcp nowait qmaild /usr/local/bin/tcpd
+ /var/qmail/bin/tcp-env /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd
+
+(all on one line) and give inetd a HUP. Third, in tcpd's hosts.allow,
+make a line setting the environment variable RELAYCLIENT to the empty
+string for the selected clients:
+
+ tcp-env: 1.2.3.4, 1.2.3.5: setenv = RELAYCLIENT
+
+Here 1.2.3.4 and 1.2.3.5 are the clients' IP addresses. qmail-smtpd
+ignores control/rcpthosts when RELAYCLIENT is set. (It also appends
+RELAYCLIENT to each envelope recipient address. See question 5.5 for an
+application.)
+
+Alternative procedure, if you are using tcpserver 0.80 or above: Create
+/etc/tcp.smtp containing
+
+ 1.2.3.6:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""
+ 127.:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""
+
+to allow clients with IP addresses 1.2.3.6 and 127.*. Run
+
+ tcprules /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb /etc/tcp.smtp.tmp < /etc/tcp.smtp
+
+Finally, insert
+
+ -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb
+
+after tcpserver in your qmail-smtpd invocation.
+
+
+5.5. How do I fix up messages from broken SMTP clients?
+
+Answer: Three steps. First, put
+
+ | bouncesaying 'Permission denied' [ "@$HOST" != "@fixme" ]
+ | qmail-inject -f "$SENDER" -- "$DEFAULT"
+
+into ~alias/.qmail-fixup-default. Second, put
+
+ fixme:fixup
+
+into /var/qmail/control/virtualdomains, and give qmail-send a HUP.
+Third, follow the procedure in question 5.4, but set RELAYCLIENT to the
+string ``@fixme'':
+
+ tcp-env: 1.2.3.6, 1.2.3.7: setenv = RELAYCLIENT @fixme
+
+Here 1.2.3.6 and 1.2.3.7 are the clients' IP addresses. If you are using
+tcpserver instead of inetd and tcpd, put
+
+ 1.2.3.6:allow,RELAYCLIENT="@fixme"
+ 1.2.3.7:allow,RELAYCLIENT="@fixme"
+
+into /etc/tcp.smtp, and run tcprules as in question 5.4.
+
+
+5.6. How do I set up qmail-qmqpd? I'd like to allow fast queueing of
+outgoing mail from authorized clients.
+
+Answer: Make sure you have installed tcpserver 0.80 or above. Create
+/etc/qmqp.tcp in tcprules format to allow connections from authorized
+hosts. For example, if queueing is allowed from 1.2.3.*:
+
+ 1.2.3.:allow
+ :deny
+
+Convert /etc/qmqp.tcp to /etc/qmqp.cdb:
+
+ tcprules /etc/qmqp.cdb /etc/qmqp.tmp < /etc/qmqp.tcp
+
+Finally, set up
+
+ tcpserver -x /etc/qmqp.cdb -u 7770 -g 2108 0 628 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-qmqpd &
+
+replacing 7770 and 2108 with the qmaild uid and nofiles gid. See
+question 5.1 for more details on tcpserver.
+
+
+
+6. Configuring MUAs to work with qmail
+
+
+6.1. How do I make BSD mail generate a Date with the local time zone?
+When I send mail, I'd rather use the local time zone than GMT, since
+some MUAs don't know how to display Date in the receiver's time zone.
+
+Answer: Put
+
+ set sendmail=/var/qmail/bin/datemail
+
+into your .mailrc or your system-wide Mail.rc. Beware that BSD mail is
+neither secure nor reliable.
+
+
+6.2. How do I make pine work with qmail?
+
+Answer: Put
+
+ sendmail-path=/usr/lib/sendmail -oem -oi -t
+
+into /usr/local/lib/pine.conf. (This will work with sendmail too.)
+Beware that pine is neither secure nor reliable.
+
+
+6.3. How do I make MH work with qmail?
+
+Answer: Put
+
+ postproc: /usr/mh/lib/spost
+
+into each user's .mh_profile. (This will work with sendmail too.) Beware
+that MH is neither secure nor reliable.
+
+
+6.4. How do I stop Sun's dtcm from hanging?
+
+Answer: There is a novice programming error in dtcm, known as ``failure
+to close the output side of the pipe in the child.'' Sun has, at the
+time of this writing, not yet provided a patch. Sorry.
+
+
+
+7. Managing the mail system
+
+
+7.1. How do I safely stop qmail-send? Back when we were running
+sendmail, it was always tricky to kill sendmail without risking the loss
+of current deliveries; what should I do with qmail-send?
+
+Answer: Go ahead and kill the qmail-send process. It will shut down
+cleanly. Wait for ``exiting'' to show up in the log. To restart qmail,
+run /var/qmail/rc the same way it is run from your system boot scripts,
+with the proper PATH, resource limits, etc.
+
+Alternative, if qmail is supervised: svc -t /var/run/qmail. The
+supervise process will kill qmail, wait for it to stop, and restart it.
+Use -d instead of -t if you don't want qmail to restart automatically;
+to manually restart it, use -u.
+
+
+7.2. How do I manually run the queue? I'd like qmail to try delivering
+all the remote messages right now.
+
+Answer: Give the qmail-send process an ALRM. (Do svc -a /var/run/qmail
+if qmail is supervised.)
+
+You may want to run qmail-tcpok first, to guarantee that qmail-remote
+will try all addresses. Normally, if an address fails repeatedly,
+qmail-remote leaves it alone for an hour.
+
+
+7.3. How do I rejuvenate a message? Somebody broke into Eric's computer
+again; it's going to be down for at least another two days. I know Eric
+has been expecting an important message---in fact, I see it sitting here
+in /var/qmail/queue/mess/15/26902. It's been in the queue for six days;
+how can I make sure it isn't bounced tomorrow?
+
+Answer: Just touch /var/qmail/queue/info/15/26902. (This is the only
+form of queue modification that's safe while qmail is running.)
+
+
+7.4. How do I organize a big network? I have a lot of machines, and I
+don't know where to start.
+
+Answer: First, choose the domain name where your users will receive
+mail. This is normally the shortest domain name you control. If you are
+in charge of *.movie.edu, you can use addresses like joe@movie.edu.
+
+Second, choose the machine that will know what to do with different
+users at movie.edu. Set up a host name in DNS for this machine:
+
+ mailhost.movie.edu IN A 1.2.3.4
+ 4.3.2.1.in-addr.arpa IN PTR mailhost.movie.edu
+
+Here 1.2.3.4 is the IP address of that machine.
+
+Third, make a list of machines where mail should end up. For example, if
+mail for Bob should end up on Bob's workstation, put Bob's workstation
+onto the list. For each of these machines, set up a host name in DNS:
+
+ bobshost.movie.edu IN A 1.2.3.7
+ 7.3.2.1.in-addr.arpa IN PTR bobshost.movie.edu
+
+Fourth, install qmail on bobshost.movie.edu. qmail will automatically
+configure itself to accept messages for bob@bobshost.movie.edu and
+deliver them to ~bob/Mailbox on bobshost. Do the same for the other
+machines where mail should end up.
+
+Fifth, install qmail on mailhost.movie.edu. Put
+
+ movie.edu:alias-movie
+
+into control/virtualdomains on mailhost. Then forward bob@movie.edu to
+bob@bobshost.movie.edu, by putting
+
+ bob@bobshost.movie.edu
+
+into ~alias/.qmail-movie-bob. Do the same for other users.
+
+Sixth, put movie.edu into control/rcpthosts on mailhost.movie.edu, so
+that mailhost.movie.edu will accept messages for users at movie.edu.
+
+Seventh, set up an MX record in DNS to deliver movie.edu messages to
+mailhost:
+
+ movie.edu IN MX 10 mailhost.movie.edu
+
+Eighth, on all your machines, put movie.edu into control/defaulthost.
+
+
+7.5. How do I back up and restore the queue disk?
+
+Answer: You can't.
+
+One difficulty is that you can't get a consistent snapshot of the queue
+while qmail-send is running. Another difficulty is that messages in the
+queue must have filenames that match their inode numbers.
+
+However, the big problem is that backups---even twice-daily backups---
+are far too unreliable for mail. If your disk dies, there will be very
+little overlap between the messages saved in the last backup and the
+messages that were lost.
+
+There are several ways to add real reliability to a mail server. Battery
+backups will keep your server alive, letting you park the disk to avoid
+a head crash, when the power goes out. Solid-state disks have their own
+battery backups. RAID boxes let you replace dead disks without losing
+any data.
+
+
+7.6. How do I run a supervised copy of qmail? svc sounds useful.
+
+Answer: Install daemontools (https://cr.yp.to/daemontools.html).
+Create a /var/run/qmail directory. Change
+
+ /var/qmail/rc
+
+to
+
+ supervise /var/run/qmail /var/qmail/rc
+
+in your boot scripts. Make sure that supervise is in the startup PATH.
+Now you can use svc to stop or restart qmail, and svstat to check
+whether qmail is running.
+
+
+7.7. How do I avoid syslog? It chews up a lot of CPU time and isn't
+reliable.
+
+Answer: Install daemontools (https://cr.yp.to/daemontools.html).
+Make a /var/log/qmail directory, owned by qmaill, mode 2700. Do
+
+ qmail-start ./Mailbox /usr/local/bin/accustamp \
+ | setuser qmaill /usr/local/bin/cyclog /var/log/qmail &
+
+in /var/qmail/rc.
+
+If you are logging tcpserver connections, make a /var/log/smtpd
+directory, and use cyclog /var/log/smtpd for tcpserver. You shouldn't
+run several copies of cyclog with the same log directory.
+
+By default, cyclog keeps 10 automatically rotated log files, each
+containing up to 100KB of log data. To keep 20 files with 1MB each, use
+cyclog -s 1000000 -n 20.
+
+
+
+8. Miscellany
+
+
+8.1. How do I tell qmail to do more deliveries at once? It's running
+only 20 parallel qmail-remote processes.
+
+Answer: Decide how many deliveries you want to allow at once. Put that
+number into control/concurrencyremote. Restart qmail-send as in question
+7.1. If your system has resource limits, make sure you set the
+descriptors limit to at least double the concurrency plus 5; otherwise
+you'll get lots of unnecessary deferrals whenever a big burst of mail
+shows up. Note that qmail also imposes a compile-time concurrency limit,
+120 by default; this is set in conf-spawn.
+
+
+8.2. How do I keep a copy of all incoming and outgoing mail messages?
+
+Answer: Set QUEUE_EXTRA to "Tlog\0" and QUEUE_EXTRALEN to 5 in extra.h.
+Recompile qmail. Put ./msg-log into ~alias/.qmail-log.
+
+You can also use QUEUE_EXTRA to, e.g., record the Message-ID of every
+message: run
+
+ | awk '/^$/ { exit } /^[mM][eE][sS][sS][aA][gG][eE]-/ { print }'
+
+from ~alias/.qmail-log.
+
+
+8.3. How do I switch slowly from sendmail to qmail? I'm thinking of
+moving the heaven.af.mil network over to qmail, but first I'd like to
+give my users a chance to try out qmail without affecting current
+sendmail deliveries. We're using NFS.
+
+Answer: Find a host in your network, say pc.heaven.af.mil, that isn't
+running an SMTP server. (If addresses at pc.heaven.af.mil are used, you
+should already have an MX pointing pc.heaven.af.mil to your mail hub.)
+
+Set up a new MX record pointing lists.heaven.af.mil to pc.heaven.af.mil.
+Install qmail on pc.heaven.af.mil. Replace pc with lists in the control
+files. Make the qmail man pages available on all your machines.
+
+Now tell your users about qmail. A user can forward joe@heaven.af.mil to
+joe@lists.heaven.af.mil to get ~/Mailbox delivery; he can set up .qmail
+files; he can start running his own mailing lists @lists.heaven.af.mil.
+
+When you're ready to turn sendmail off, you can set up pc.heaven.af.mil
+as your new mail hub. Add heaven.af.mil to control/locals, and change
+the heaven.af.mil MX to point to pc.heaven.af.mil. Make sure you leave
+lists.heaven.af.mil in control/locals so that transition addresses will
+continue to work.

-Background: Every few months CERT announces Yet Another Security Hole In
-Sendmail---something that lets local or even remote users take complete
-control of the machine. I'm sure there are many more holes waiting to be
-discovered; sendmail's design means that any minor bug in 46000 lines of
-code is a major security risk. Other popular mailers, such as Smail, and
-even mailing-list managers, such as Majordomo, seem nearly as bad.
-
-Note added in 1998: I wrote the above paragraph in December 1995, when
-the latest version of sendmail was 8.6.12 (with 41000 lines of code).
-Fourteen security holes were discovered from sendmail 8.6.12 through
-8.8.5. See http://pobox.com/~djb/docs/maildisasters/sendmail.html.
-
-I started working on qmail because I was sick of this cycle of doom.
-Here are some of the things I did to make sure that qmail will never let
-an intruder into your machine.
-
-
-1. Programs and files are not addresses. Don't treat them as addresses.
-
-sendmail treats programs and files as addresses. Obviously random people
-can't be allowed to execute arbitrary programs or write to arbitrary
-files, so sendmail goes through horrendous contortions trying to keep
-track of whether a local user was ``responsible'' for an address. This
-has proven to be an unmitigated disaster.
-
-In qmail, programs and files are not addresses. The local delivery
-agent, qmail-local, can run programs or write to files as directed by
-~user/.qmail, but it's always running as that user. (The notion of
-``user'' is configurable, but root is never a user. To prevent silly
-mistakes, qmail-local makes sure that neither ~user nor ~user/.qmail is
-group-writable or world-writable.)
-
-Security impact: .qmail, like .cshrc and .exrc and various other files,
-means that anyone who can write arbitrary files as a user can execute
-arbitrary programs as that user. That's it.
-
-
-2. Do as little as possible in setuid programs.
-
-A setuid program must operate in a very dangerous environment: a user is
-under complete control of its fds, args, environ, cwd, tty, rlimits,
-timers, signals, and more. Even worse, the list of controlled items
-varies from one vendor's UNIX to the next, so it is very difficult to
-write portable code that cleans up everything.
-
-Of the twenty most recent sendmail security holes, eleven worked only
-because the entire sendmail system is setuid.
-
-Only one qmail program is setuid: qmail-queue. Its only purpose is to
-add a new mail message to the outgoing queue.
-
-
-3. Do as little as possible as root.
-
-The entire sendmail system runs as root, so there's no way that its
-mistakes can be caught by the operating system's built-in protections.
-In contrast, only two qmail programs, qmail-start and qmail-lspawn,
-run as root.
-
-
-4. Move separate functions into mutually untrusting programs.
-
-Five of the qmail programs---qmail-smtpd, qmail-send, qmail-rspawn,
-qmail-remote, and tcp-env---are not security-critical. Even if all of
-these programs are completely compromised, so that an intruder has
-control over the qmaild, qmails, and qmailr accounts and the mail queue,
-he still can't take over your system. None of the other programs trust
-the results from these five.
-
-In fact, these programs don't even trust each other. They are in three
-groups: tcp-env and qmail-smtpd, which run as qmaild; qmail-rspawn and
-qmail-remote, which run as qmailr; and qmail-send, the queue manager,
-which runs as qmails. Each group is immune from attacks by the others.
-
-(From root's point of view, as long as root doesn't send any mail, only
-qmail-start and qmail-lspawn are security-critical. They don't write any
-files or start any other programs as root.)
-
-
-5. Don't parse.
-
-I have discovered that there are two types of command interfaces in the
-world of computing: good interfaces and user interfaces.
-
-The essence of user interfaces is _parsing_---converting an unstructured
-sequence of commands, in a format usually determined more by psychology
-than by solid engineering, into structured data.
-
-When another programmer wants to talk to a user interface, he has to
-_quote_: convert his structured data into an unstructured sequence of
-commands that the parser will, he hopes, convert back into the original
-structured data.
-
-This situation is a recipe for disaster. The parser often has bugs: it
-fails to handle some inputs according to the documented interface. The
-quoter often has bugs: it produces outputs that do not have the right
-meaning. Only on rare joyous occasions does it happen that the parser
-and the quoter both misinterpret the interface in the same way.
-
-When the original data is controlled by a malicious user, many of these
-bugs translate into security holes. Some examples: the Linux login
--froot security hole; the classic find | xargs rm security hole; the
-Majordomo injection security hole. Even a simple parser like getopt is
-complicated enough for people to screw up the quoting.
-
-In qmail, all the internal file structures are incredibly simple: text0
-lines beginning with single-character commands. (text0 format means that
-lines are separated by a 0 byte instead of line feed.) The program-level
-interfaces don't take options.
-
-All the complexity of parsing RFC 822 address lists and rewriting
-headers is in the qmail-inject program, which runs without privileges
-and is essentially part of the UA.
-
-
-6. Keep it simple, stupid.
-

+Background: Every few months CERT announces Yet Another Security Hole In
+Sendmail---something that lets local or even remote users take complete
+control of the machine. I'm sure there are many more holes waiting to be
+discovered; sendmail's design means that any minor bug in 46000 lines of
+code is a major security risk. Other popular mailers, such as Smail, and
+even mailing-list managers, such as Majordomo, seem nearly as bad.
+
+Note added in 1998: I wrote the above paragraph in December 1995, when
+the latest version of sendmail was 8.6.12 (with 41000 lines of code).
+Fourteen security holes were discovered from sendmail 8.6.12 through
+8.8.5. See http://pobox.com/~djb/docs/maildisasters/sendmail.html.
+
+I started working on qmail because I was sick of this cycle of doom.
+Here are some of the things I did to make sure that qmail will never let
+an intruder into your machine.
+
+
+1. Programs and files are not addresses. Don't treat them as addresses.
+
+sendmail treats programs and files as addresses. Obviously random people
+can't be allowed to execute arbitrary programs or write to arbitrary
+files, so sendmail goes through horrendous contortions trying to keep
+track of whether a local user was ``responsible'' for an address. This
+has proven to be an unmitigated disaster.
+
+In qmail, programs and files are not addresses. The local delivery
+agent, qmail-local, can run programs or write to files as directed by
+~user/.qmail, but it's always running as that user. (The notion of
+``user'' is configurable, but root is never a user. To prevent silly
+mistakes, qmail-local makes sure that neither ~user nor ~user/.qmail is
+group-writable or world-writable.)
+
+Security impact: .qmail, like .cshrc and .exrc and various other files,
+means that anyone who can write arbitrary files as a user can execute
+arbitrary programs as that user. That's it.
+
+
+2. Do as little as possible in setuid programs.
+
+A setuid program must operate in a very dangerous environment: a user is
+under complete control of its fds, args, environ, cwd, tty, rlimits,
+timers, signals, and more. Even worse, the list of controlled items
+varies from one vendor's UNIX to the next, so it is very difficult to
+write portable code that cleans up everything.
+
+Of the twenty most recent sendmail security holes, eleven worked only
+because the entire sendmail system is setuid.
+
+Only one qmail program is setuid: qmail-queue. Its only purpose is to
+add a new mail message to the outgoing queue.
+
+
+3. Do as little as possible as root.
+
+The entire sendmail system runs as root, so there's no way that its
+mistakes can be caught by the operating system's built-in protections.
+In contrast, only two qmail programs, qmail-start and qmail-lspawn,
+run as root.
+
+
+4. Move separate functions into mutually untrusting programs.
+
+Five of the qmail programs---qmail-smtpd, qmail-send, qmail-rspawn,
+qmail-remote, and tcp-env---are not security-critical. Even if all of
+these programs are completely compromised, so that an intruder has
+control over the qmaild, qmails, and qmailr accounts and the mail queue,
+he still can't take over your system. None of the other programs trust
+the results from these five.
+
+In fact, these programs don't even trust each other. They are in three
+groups: tcp-env and qmail-smtpd, which run as qmaild; qmail-rspawn and
+qmail-remote, which run as qmailr; and qmail-send, the queue manager,
+which runs as qmails. Each group is immune from attacks by the others.
+
+(From root's point of view, as long as root doesn't send any mail, only
+qmail-start and qmail-lspawn are security-critical. They don't write any
+files or start any other programs as root.)
+
+
+5. Don't parse.
+
+I have discovered that there are two types of command interfaces in the
+world of computing: good interfaces and user interfaces.
+
+The essence of user interfaces is _parsing_---converting an unstructured
+sequence of commands, in a format usually determined more by psychology
+than by solid engineering, into structured data.
+
+When another programmer wants to talk to a user interface, he has to
+_quote_: convert his structured data into an unstructured sequence of
+commands that the parser will, he hopes, convert back into the original
+structured data.
+
+This situation is a recipe for disaster. The parser often has bugs: it
+fails to handle some inputs according to the documented interface. The
+quoter often has bugs: it produces outputs that do not have the right
+meaning. Only on rare joyous occasions does it happen that the parser
+and the quoter both misinterpret the interface in the same way.
+
+When the original data is controlled by a malicious user, many of these
+bugs translate into security holes. Some examples: the Linux login
+-froot security hole; the classic find | xargs rm security hole; the
+Majordomo injection security hole. Even a simple parser like getopt is
+complicated enough for people to screw up the quoting.
+
+In qmail, all the internal file structures are incredibly simple: text0
+lines beginning with single-character commands. (text0 format means that
+lines are separated by a 0 byte instead of line feed.) The program-level
+interfaces don't take options.
+
+All the complexity of parsing RFC 822 address lists and rewriting
+headers is in the qmail-inject program, which runs without privileges
+and is essentially part of the UA.
+
+
+6. Keep it simple, stupid.
+
+See BLURB.md for some of the reasons that qmail is so much smaller than
+sendmail. There's nothing inherently complicated about writing a mailer.
+(Except RFC 822 support; but that's only in qmail-inject.) Security
+holes can't show up in features that don't exist.
+
+
+7. Write bug-free code.
+
+I've mostly given up on the standard C library. Many of its facilities,
+particularly stdio, seem designed to encourage bugs. A big chunk of
+qmail is stolen from a basic C library that I've been developing for
+several years for a variety of applications. The stralloc concept and
+getln() make it very easy to avoid buffer overruns, memory leaks, and
+artificial line length limits.

-SAVE COPIES OF YOUR OUTGOING MAIL! Like any other piece of software (and
-information generally), the qmail system comes with NO WARRANTY. It's
-much more secure and reliable than sendmail, but that's not saying much.
-
-
-Here's how to upgrade to notqmail 1.08. This procedure will overwrite the
-old qmail binaries. Furthermore, it may begin delivering messages from
-the queue before you have had a chance to test it.
-
-
-WARNING for upgrades from 1.00 or 1.01: qlist has been split into a
-separate package. You can obtain it from https://cr.yp.to/qlist.html
-if you have any users who need it.
-
-WARNING for upgrades from 1.01: recipientmap is gone. The virtualdomains
-mechanism has been expanded to support virtual users.
-
-
-Before starting, compare conf* to your old conf*, and make any necessary
-changes. You can copy conf* from 1.02 or 1.03.
-
-
-How to install:
-
- 1. Compile the programs and create the formatted man pages:
- # make it man
-
- 2. Inform your users that mail will not be accepted for a few minutes.
-
- 3. Disable deliveries by killing your old qmail-send. Wait for it to
- print ``exiting'' in the log.
-
- 4. Disable SMTP service by commenting out the smtp line in inetd.conf;
- kill -HUP your inetd. (If you are using tcpserver, simply kill -STOP
- your tcpserver. If you are running a QMTP server, disable that too.)
- Wait for current qmail-smtpd processes to die.
-
- 5. Install the new binaries and man pages:
- # make setup check
-
- 6. If your boot scripts are using qmail-start instead of /var/qmail/rc:
- Copy /var/qmail/boot/home to /var/qmail/rc. (Use home+df instead if
- you have installed dot-forward; use proc or proc+df if you are using
- procmail by default for local deliveries.) Compare /var/qmail/rc to
- your qmail-start boot line, and edit /var/qmail/rc if necessary.
- Replace your qmail-start boot line with
- csh -cf '/var/qmail/rc &'
-
- 7. Reenable deliveries:
- # csh -cf '/var/qmail/rc &'
-
- 8. Read TEST.deliver.
-
- 9. Reenable SMTP service by restoring the smtp line in inetd.conf; kill
- -HUP your inetd. (If you are using tcpserver, simply kill -CONT your
- tcpserver. If you are running a QMTP server, reenable that too.)
-
-10. Read TEST.receive.
-
-
-That's it!
-

-https://cr.yp.to/qmail.html.
