			SENDMAIL RELEASE NOTES
      $Id: RELEASE_NOTES,v 8.1340.2.182 2003/12/13 18:58:50 ca Exp $


This listing shows the version of the sendmail binary, the version
of the sendmail configuration files, the date of release, and a
summary of the changes in that release.

8.12.11/8.12.11	200x/xx/xx
	Use QueueFileMode when opening qf files.  This error was a
		regression in 8.12.10.  Problem detected and diagnosed
		Lech Szychowski of the Polish Power Grid Company.
	Properly count the number of queue runners in a work group and
		make sure the total limit of MaxQueueChildren is not
		exceeded.  Based on patch from Takayuki Yoshizawa of
		Techfirm, Inc.
	Take care of systems that can generate time values where the
		seconds can exceed the usual range of 0 to 59.
		Problem noted by Randy Diffenderfer of EDS.
	Avoid regeneration of identical queue identifiers by processes
		whose process id is the same as that of the initial
		sendmail process that was used to start the daemon.
		Problem noted by Randy Diffenderfer of EDS.
	When a milter invokes smfi_delrcpt() compare the supplied
		recipient address also against the printable addresses
		of the current list to deal with rewritten addresses.
		Based on patch from Sean Hanson of The Asylum.
	Fix printing of 8 bit characters as octals in log messages.
		Based on patch by Andrey J. Melnikoff.
	Return normal error code for unknown SMTP commands instead of
		the one specified by check_relay or a milter for a
		connection.  Problem noted by Andrzej Filip.
	Some ident responses contain data after the terminating CRLF which
		causes sendmail to log "POSSIBLE ATTACK...newline in string".
		To avoid this everything after LF is ignored.
	If the operating system supports O_EXLOCK and HASFLOCK is set
		then a possible race condition for creating qf files
		can be avoided.  Note: the race condition does not
		exist within sendmail, but between sendmail and an
		external application that accesses qf files.
	Portability:
		Add support for Darwin 7.0/Mac OS X 10.3 (a.k.a. Panther).
		Solaris 10 has unsetenv(), patch from Craig Mohrman of
			Sun Microsystems.
	LIBMILTER: Add extra checks in case a broken MTA sends bogus data
		to libmilter.  Based on code review by Rob Grzywinski.
	SMRSH: Properly assemble commands that contain '&&' or '||'.
		Problem noted by Eric Lee of Talking Heads.
	New Files:
		devtools/OS/Darwin.7.0
