S E N D M A I L Presumably by the time you get to this READ_ME file, you will have already read the tape in, or will have received this distribution as part of 4.2bsd. If you do not yet have the distribution online, read the tape in now -- you will need about one megabyte to hold the tape. The first thing you should look at is the documentation. The two critical documents are "doc/intro.me" and "doc/op.me". Read both of these before proceeding with your installation. If you have read these before, you should still read through the second one again anyhow, since the installation procedures change occasionally. A brief tour: FILES A list of the files on the tape. Makefile A Makefile that will do a vanilla install for you. adb A set of adb(1) scripts for printing out certain sendmail data structures. adm Administrativia. aux Files that represent programs that are not really "part" of sendmail, or old versions of some files in src for use by people on other system types. cf The configuration files for Berkeley, plus a few prototype configurations for basic installation types. doc The documentation. include The include files used by more than just the sendmail program itself. lib Library routines used by sendmail, but not really "part" of sendmail itself; these might be candidates for libc.a. md Some m4 files used to isolate machine dependencies. src The source for the sendmail program itself. test Some files used for testing -- mostly these are shell files intended as the targets for aliasing. The following are the known major problems and their Problem Report number: 012, 043 Names of files and programs cannot have upper case letters in them -- these get mapped to lower case due to the case mapping feature. 178 Because of the different syntaxes used in envelopes versus headers, we will occasionally allow syntactically incorrect headers go out. 226 Quote interpretation may be incorrect -- this is not well defined in the protocols. Due to my present circumstances, I am unable to provide a formal level of support for this system. However, I will make whatever attempt I can to answer a reasonable number of questions. Since the company I am working for is not working in this area, and has indulged me tremendously in letting me work on this at all, I regret that I am unable to accept phone calls.
