+
+This FAQ is edited and maintained by Brad Knowles <brad@etext.org>.
+The official archive for all FAQs posted to <news:news.answers>
+is <ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/usenet/news.answers/>, with many known
+mirrors. On this site, the latest version of this FAQ can be found
+in <ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/usenet/news.answers/mail/sendmail-faq/>.
+Since this server tends to be extremely busy, as an alternative,
+you might want to try using <http://www.imc.org/sendmail-faq-1>
+and <http://www.imc.org/sendmail-faq-2> instead.
+
+If you don't have access to FTP or WWW, this FAQ can be retrieved by
+sending Internet email to <mail-server@rtfm.mit.edu> with an empty
+subject line (it gets ignored) and the command "send
+usenet/news.answers/mail/sendmail-faq/part*" as the body of the
+message (omitting the quotes, of course).
+
+As an alternative, you might want to try sending Internet email
+to <info@imc.org> with an empty subject line (it gets ignored)
+and "send sendmail-faq-*" as the body of the body of the message
+(again, omitting the quotes).
+
+Additional alternative access methods are detailed within.
+
+
+This FAQ is in RFC 1153 digest format. The "Date:" field of each
+entry represents the date of the last update made to that entry.
+
+
+This FAQ has now been split into two parts, to try and make it easier
+to pass through older or less capable news or mail gateways.
+
+
+The intent is to ultimately make this document more web-friendly (in
+that all original work is done in SGML), and using the linuxdoc-sgml
+tools, automatically generate both the HTML and ASCII text versions,
+automatically posting the ASCII version to comp.mail.sendmail as
+appropriate.
+
+In the meanwhile, all pseudo-HTMLized versions of this FAQ are
+considered unsupported. We cannot be held responsible for what
+someone else's program does to this document in an attempt to
+make it more web-friendly. Nevertheless, the Landfield Hypertext
+Usenet FAQ Archive seems to work well, and if you must access
+the comp.mail.sendmail FAQ via the web, try slinging over to
+<http://www.landfield.com/faqs/mail/sendmail-faq/>.

+Subject: Q4.1 -- Should I use a wildcard MX for my domain?
+
+ If at all possible, no.
+
+ Wildcard MX records have lots of semantic "gotcha"s. For example,
+they will match a host "unknown.your.domain" -- if you don't
+explicitly test for unknown hosts in your domain, you will get "config
+error: mail loops back to myself".
+
+ See RFCs 1535, 1536, and 1912 (updates RFC 1537) for more detail
+and other related (or common) problems. See also _DNS and BIND_ by
+Albitz and Liu.
+
+ They can also cause your system to add your domain to outgoing
+FQDNs in a desperate attempt to get the mail to where it's supposed to
+go, but because *.your.domain is valid due to the wildcard MX,
+delivery to not.real.domain.your.domain will get dumped on you, and
+you may even find yourself in a loop as the domain keeps getting
+tacked on time after time after time (the "config error: mail loops
+back to myself" problem).
+
+
+ Wildcard MX records are just a bad idea, plain and simple.
+They don't work the way you'd expect, and virtually no one gets
+them right. Avoid them at all costs.
+
+------------------------------
+
+Date: March 23, 1996
+Subject: Q4.2 -- How can I set up an auto-responder?
+
+ This is a local mailer issue, not a sendmail issue. Depending on
+what you're doing, look at procmail (see Q4.9), ftpmail, or Majordomo.
+
+
+ The latest version of Majordomo can be found at
+<ftp://ftp.greatcircle.com/pub/majordomo/>. It is written in Perl and
+requires either Perl 4.036, and appears to run with only minor tweaks
+under 5.001a or later. Make sure to check out the web interface for
+Majordomo called "Mailserv" at <http://iquest.com/~fitz/www/mailserv/>
+or "LWGate" at <http://www.netspace.org/users/dwb/lwgate.html>. The
+latest versions of Perl (both 4.x and 5.x) can be found in
+<http://www.metronet.com/perlinfo/src/>. More information about Perl
+can be found at <http://www.metronet.com/perlinfo/perl5.html>
+
+ The latest version of ftpmail can be found at
+<ftp://src.doc.ic.ac.uk/packages/ftpmail> or any comp.sources.misc
+archive (volume 37).
+

+
+Date: July 9, 1996
+Subject: Q4.3 -- How can I get sendmail to deliver local mail to
+ $HOME/.mail instead of into /usr/spool/mail (or /usr/mail)?
+
+ Again, this is a local mailer issue, not a sendmail issue. Either
+modify your local mailer (source code will be required) or change the
+program called in the "local" mailer configuration description to be a
+new program that does this local delivery. One program that is
+capable of doing this is procmail (see Q4.9), although there are
+probably many others as well.
+
+ You might be interested in reading the paper ``HLFSD: Delivering
+Email to your $HOME'' available in the Proceedings of the USENIX
+System Administration (LISA VII) Conference (November 1993). More
+information is at <ftp://ftp.cs.columbia.edu/pub/hlfsd/README.hlfsd>,
+while the actual archive of the papers is at
+<ftp://ftp.cs.columbia.edu/pub/hlfsd/hlfsd-paper.tar.gz> (tar archive,
+gzip'ed).
+
+------------------------------
+
+Date: March 23, 1996
+Subject: Q4.4 -- Why does it deliver the mail interactively when I'm
+ trying to get it to go into queue only mode?
+
+ Or, I'm trying to use the "don't deliver to expensive mailer"
+flag, and it delivers the mail interactively anyway. I can see it
+does it: here's the output of "sendmail -v foo@somehost" (or Mail -v
+or equivalent).
+
+
+ The -v flag to sendmail (which is implied by the -v flag to Mail
+and other programs in that family) tells sendmail to watch the
+transaction. Since you have explicitly asked to see what's going on,
+it assumes that you do not want to to auto-queue, and turns that
+feature off. Remove the -v flag and use a "tail -f" of the log
+instead to see what's going on.
+
+ If you are trying to use the "don't deliver to expensive mailer"
+flag (mailer flag "e"), be sure you also turn on global option "c" --
+otherwise it ignores the mailer flag.
+
+------------------------------
+
+Date: January 17, 1997
+Subject: Q4.5 -- How can I solve "config error: mail loops back to
+ myself" messages?
+
+ I'm getting these error messages:
+
+ 553 relay.domain.net config error: mail loops back to myself
+ 554 <user@domain.net>... Local configuration error
+
+ How can I solve this problem?
+
+ You have asked mail to the domain (e.g., domain.net) to be
+forwarded to a specific host (in this case, relay.domain.net)
+by using an MX record, but the relay machine doesn't recognize
+itself as domain.net. Add domain.net to /etc/sendmail.cw (if you
+are using FEATURE(use_cw_file)) or add "Cw domain.net" to your
+configuration file.
+
+
+ IMPORTANT: When making changes to your configuration file, be
+sure you kill and restart the sendmail daemon (for ANY change in the
+configuration, not just this one):
+
+ kill `head -1 /etc/sendmail.pid`
+ sh -c "`tail -1 /etc/sendmail.pid`"
+
+ NOTA BENE: kill -1 does not work with versions prior to 8.7.y!
+
+ With version 8.8.z sendmail, if the daemon was started up with
+a full pathname (i.e., "/usr/lib/sendmail -bd -q13m"), then you
+should be able to send it a HUP signal ("kill -1", or more safely,
+"kill -HUP") and have it reload itself (version 8.7.y sendmail
+cannot do this safely, and represents a security risk if it's not
+replaced with version 8.8.3 or later).
+
+------------------------------
+
+Date: March 23, 1996
+Subject: Q4.6 -- Why does my sendmail process sometimes hang when
+ connecting over a SLIP/PPP link?
+
+ I'm connected to the network via a SLIP/PPP link. Sometimes my
+sendmail process hangs (although it looks like part of the message has
+been transfered). Everything else works. What's wrong?
+
+ Most likely, the problem isn't sendmail at all, but the low level
+network connection. It's important that the MTU (Maximum Transfer
+Unit) for the SLIP connection be set properly at both ends. If they
+disagree, large packets will be trashed and the connection will hang.
+
+------------------------------
+
+Date: November 24, 1996
+Subject: Q4.7 -- How can I summarize the statistics generated by
+ sendmail in the syslog?
+
+ This question is addressed on page 319 of _sendmail_ by Bryan
+Costales.
+
+ An updated version of this syslog-stat.pl script (so that
+it understands the log format used in version 8 sendmail) is
+at <ftp://ftp.his.com/pub/brad/sendmail/syslog_stats>. The
+updated version of ssl has been uploaded to the SMTP Resources
+Directory (in <ftp://ftp.is.co.za/networking/mail/tools/>),
+as well as <ftp://ftp.his.com/pub/brad/sendmail/ssl>.
+There is also another program (written by Bryan Beecher) at
+<ftp://ftp.his.com/pub/brad/sendmail/smtpstats>.
+
+ If you're interested in summarizing POP statistics, there is
+<ftp://ftp.his.com/pub/brad/sendmail/popstats>, also written by
+Bryan Beecher.
+
+
+ To see what else is available today, check the Comprehensive Perl
+Archive Network <ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/languages/perl/CPAN/CPAN> or
+<ftp://ftp.cis.ufl.edu/pub/perl/CPAN/CPAN> for the site nearest you.
+For the scripts themselves, look under CPAN/scripts/mailstuff/ at
+any CPAN site. For more information, see the comp.lang.perl.*
+FAQs at <ftp://ftp.cis.ufl.edu:/pub/perl/faq/FAQ> or
+<ftp://rtfm.mit.edu:/pub/usenet/comp.lang.perl.*/>.
+
+
+ There is also the "Sendmail Statistics Project" which has a web
+page at <http://www.josnet.se/projects/ssp/>. Although they have
+examples online of what the output might look like, it now appears
+that this project is either dead or at least indefinitely on hold.
+Still, you may be able to talk to the authors in order to get what
+code from them you can.
+
+
+ If you're interested in using these kinds of tools to help
+you do some near real-time monitoring of your system, you might be
+interested in MEWS (Mail Early Warning System). From the README:
+
+ If you've ever written a perl script to parse sendmail
+ log files looking for errors, MEWS might be of interest to
+ you. If you've ever thought about writing a perl script to
+ munge sendmail log files, cringed a little and hurriedly
+ came up with an excuse not to do it, read on.
+
+ If you don't have a Solaris 2.5 machine, you can probably
+ stop reading here.
+
+ The Mail Early Warning System (MEWS) gives postmasters
+ immediate notification of trouble spots on your mail
+ backbone. It only works with sendmail.
+
+ To explain it in a nutshell, whenever sendmail returns a
+ 4xx or 5xx SMTP code, with the MEWS modifications, it also
+ sends the code over UDP to a daemon which then replays the
+ error message to interested parties. The man pages go into
+ a little bit more detail.
+
+
+ If this sounds like something you might be interested in
+getting more details about, you can find the MEWS archive at
+<ftp://ftp.qualcomm.com/pub/people/eamonn/mews.tar.Z>.

+Date: July 9, 1996
+Subject: Q4.8 -- How can I check my sendmail.cf to ensure that it's
+ re-writing addresses correctly?
+
+ The recommended program for this is "checksendmail" by Rob
+Kolstad. Old versions of this are available on various archive sites,
+but currently, the only way to get the most recent version (which has
+been updated to understand version 8.7 long option name syntax, as
+well as now supporting both Perl 4.x and Perl 5.x) is from Rob
+himself.
+
+ The latest archive will be made publicly available (most likely
+through the SMTPRD run by Andras Salamon; see Q6.5, entry
+sendmail-faq//online/index/14) as soon as it is received.
+
+------------------------------
+
+Date: July 9, 1996
+Subject: Q4.9 -- What is procmail, and where can I get it?
+
+ The program "procmail" is a replacement for the local mailer
+(variously called /bin/mail, /usr/bin/mail, mail.local, rmail,
+etc...). It has been ported to run on virtually every OS you're
+likely to run into, and has a whole host of features. It is typically
+about 30% faster performing the job of the local mailer than programs
+such as /bin/mail or /usr/bin/mail, it has been hammered on widely to
+make it extremely secure (much more so than most local mailers) and
+very robust. Procmail is also capable of helping you put a quota on a
+user's mailbox through the standard Unix quota mechanism (see Q4.3).
+
+ In short, whatever you've got, you're almost guaranteed that
+procmail is better (if nothing else, the author has been able to focus
+lots of time and energy into making it the best and fastest tool
+available, while most system vendors just throw something together as
+fast as they can and move on to the whole rest of the OS).
+
+ However, this only begins to scratch the surface of what procmail
+is capable of. It's most important feature is the fact that it gives
+you a standard way to create rules (procmail calls them "recipes") to
+process your mail before the messages get put into your mailbox, and
+for that feature alone, it is one of the most important tools any
+administrator can have in their repertoire. By filtering out or
+automatically dealing with 80% of your daily cruft, it lets you spend
+more time on the hard 20%.
+
+ Note that recent releases of version 8 sendmail natively support
+using procmail as an alternate local mailer (see
+"FEATURE(local_procmail)" for version 8.7 and above). They also
+support procmail as an additional local mailer, if you're concerned
+about flat-out replacing your current local mailer with procmail (see
+"MAILER(procmail)" in version 8.7 and above).
+
+
+ You can also install procmail as a user and run it out of your
+.forward file, although this tends to be a bit slower and less
+efficient.
+
+
+ The latest version of procmail can be found at
+<ftp://ftp.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/pub/packages/procmail/>.
+
+
+ Procmail is also the core to a mailing list management package
+called "SmartList", so if you've already got procmail, adding
+SmartList may be a good option. Some listowners prefer Majordomo,
+Listserv, or one of those other programs, but SmartList has more than
+a few adherents as well. Your personal tastes will dictate whether
+you swear by SmartList or at it.

+Subject: Q4.10 -- How can I solve "cannot alias non-local names"
+ errors?
+
+ I upgraded from my vendor's sendmail to the latest version and
+now I'm getting these error messages when I run "newaliases":
+
+ /etc/aliases: line 13: MAILER-DAEMON... cannot alias non-local names
+ /etc/aliases: line 14: postmaster... cannot alias non-local names
+
+ How can I solve this problem?
+
+
+ Your local mailer doesn't have the "A" flag specified. Edit the
+Mlocal line in sendmail.cf and add "A" to the flags listed after
+"F=".
+
+ Better yet, if you're running a recent version of sendmail
+that uses m4 to generate .cf files from .mc files, regenerate your
+sendmail.cf and see if that fixes the problem. Remember to install
+the new sendmail.cf and restart the sendmail daemon.

+Subject: Q5.1.1 -- How can I solve "line 273: replacement $3 out of
+ bounds" errors?
+
+ When I use sendmail V8 with a Sun config file I get lines like:
+
+ /etc/sendmail.cf: line 273: replacement $3 out of bounds
+
+ the line in question reads:
+
+ R$*<@$%y>$* $1<@$2.LOCAL>$3 user@ether
+
+ what does this mean? How do I fix it?
+
+ V8 doesn't recognize the Sun "$%y" syntax, so as far as it is
+concerned, there is only a $1 and a $2 (but no $3) in this line. Read
+Rick McCarty's paper on "Converting Standard Sun Config Files to
+Sendmail Version 8", in the contrib directory (file
+"converting.sun.configs") in the latest version 8 sendmail
+distribution for a full discussion of how to do this.

+
+ /etc/sendmail.cf: line 445: bad ruleset 96 (50 max)

+ You're somehow trying to start up the old Sun sendmail (or
+sendmail.mx) with a version 8 sendmail config file, which Sun's
+sendmail doesn't like. Check your /etc/rc.local, any procedures that
+have been created to stop and re-start the sendmail processes, etc....
+Make sure that you've switched everything over to using the new
+sendmail. To keep this problem from ever happening again, try the
+following (make sure you're logged in as root):
+
+ mv /usr/lib/sendmail /usr/lib/sendmail.old
+ ln -s /usr/local/lib/sendmail.v8 /usr/lib/sendmail
+ mv /usr/lib/sendmail.mx /usr/lib/sendmail.mx.old
+ ln -s /usr/local/lib/sendmail.v8 /usr/lib/sendmail.mx
+ chmod 0000 /usr/lib/sendmail.old
+ chmod 0000 /usr/lib/sendmail.mx.old
+
+ Assuming, of course, that you have installed sendmail V8 in
+/usr/local/lib/sendmail.v8.

+Subject: Q5.1.3 -- Why does version 8 sendmail (< 8.7.5) sometimes
+ hang under Solaris 2.5?
+
+ In moving from Solaris 2.4 to Solaris 2.5, the kernel changed its
+name and is now in /kernel/genunix instead of /kernel/unix, so
+_PATH_UNIX in conf.h is pointing to the wrong place.
+
+ If you can't upgrade to the latest release of sendmail 8.8.z,
+the next best thing to do is change _PATH_UNIX in conf.h (in the
+solaris2 part) to point to the generic interface /dev/ksyms, like so:
+
+ # define _PATH_UNIX "/dev/ksyms"
+
+------------------------------
+
+Date: November 24, 1996
+Subject: Q5.1.4 -- Why can't I use SunOS/Solaris to get email to
+ certain large sites?
+
+ This is most likely a problem in your resolver libraries
+(DNS, /etc/hosts, NIS, etc...). Older Sun (and Solaris?) resolver
+libraries allocated enough room for only five IP addresses for each
+host name, and if any program ever ran across a name with more than
+five IP addresses for it, the program would crash.
+
+ For example, this would keep you from getting mail to CompuServe,
+since (at the time of this writing) they list eleven IP addresses
+for mx1.compuserve.com (one of the named MXes for compuserve.com).
+
+ This will affect you even if you use version 8 sendmail, since
+it's a problem in the resolver libraries, and not in sendmail itself.
+
+
+ You should either get patches to the resolver libraries from
+Sun, or the latest version of BIND (see Q2.12) and install their
+resolver library routines. Between the two, installing BIND is a
+bit more work, but it typically gives you much more up-to-date code
+to help you resist attacks to your systems, more capable programs
+to be used for serving the DNS (including support for IPv6 and
+several other features), and some very useful utility programs.

+Subject: Q5.2.1 -- The system resource controller always reports
+ sendmail as "inoperative". What's wrong?
+
+ When I use version 8 sendmail on an IBM RS/6000 running AIX, the
+system resource controller always reports sendmail as "inoperative",
+even though it's actually running. What's wrong?
+
+ When running as a daemon, sendmail detaches from its parent
+process, fooling the SRC into thinking that sendmail has exited. To
+fix this, issue the commands:
+
+ kill `head -1 /etc/sendmail.pid`
+ chssys -s sendmail -f 9 -n 15 -S -a "-d99.100"
+ # use "-d0.1" in sendmail 8.6.x
+ startsrc -s sendmail -a "-bd -q30m"
+ # your sendmail args may vary
+
+ Now the SRC should report the correct status of sendmail. If you
+are using version 8.6.x, use "-d0.1" instead of "-d99.100" (the debug
+options changed somewhat in version 8.7). In 8.6.x a side-effect of
+the "-d0.1" option is that a few lines of debug output will be printed
+on the system console every time sendmail starts up.
+
+ For more information, read up on the System Resource Controller,
+the lssrc command and the chssys command in the online AIX
+documentation.

+Subject: Q5.2.2 -- Why can't I use AIX to get email to some sites?
+
+ When I use IBM's sendmail on an IBM RS/6000 running AIX trying to
+get to certain sites, it seems that I can get to some of them and not
+others. What's wrong?
+
+ There are two possible problems here:
+
+ 1) Your version of sendmail is not configured to recognize MX
+ records in the DNS. Search through your sendmail.cf
+ looking for "OK MX" or "OK ALL". Older configurations had
+ this line commented out, and this will cause mail from you
+ to some sites to fail (because those sites have MX
+ records, but no A records in their DNS for the specific
+ Fully Qualified Domain Name you're trying to mail to).
+
+ For more information, see the comp.unix.aix FAQ
+ <ftp://rtfm.mit.edu:/pub/usenet/news.answers/aix-faq/>.
+
+ 2) There is a negative caching bug in AIX 3.2.5 with
+ /usr/sbin/named executables that are less than 103000
+ bytes long. Ask your IBM representative to give you PMP
+ 3251, or the most recent patch that fixes this problem for
+ your particular configuration and version of the OS.
+
+------------------------------
+
+Date: July 5, 1996
+Subject: Q5.2.3 -- Why can't I get sendmail 8.7.1 to use MX records
+ with AIX 3.2.5?
+
+ IBM, in their infinite wisdom, provided a header file that would
+easily mis-compile. This resulted in the struct{} for the DNS query
+to be mis-allocated, and MX processing would barf.
+
+ Fix 1) upgrade to 8.7.5 - this has a code fix for this problem.
+
+ Fix 2) Install the BIND 4.9.4 libraries and include files and
+tweak the Makefile.AIX to use them - I *think* these Get It Right (if
+not, at least it'll die during compile rather than failing weirdly at
+runtime).
+
+ Fix 3) Hack Makefile.AIX to pass a -DBIT_ZERO_ON_LEFT to cause the
+headers to use the right #ifdefs.

+Centers more on IDA sendmail (at least partly because version 8 didn't

+Sophomore or Junior level textbook.
+
+While you'll probably never let the Costales book out of your grubby
+little hands (especially if you do much work with version 8 sendmail),
+this is a book you'll probably read once or maybe twice, learn some
+very valuable things, but then likely put on a shelf and not read or
+reference again (unless you have to write up a bibliographic entry for
+it). Makes a better introduction to sendmail for management types,
+especially if you don't want them getting their hands on too much
+"dangerous" technical information. Also a *lot* smaller and less
+imposing.
+
+If possible, I recommend getting both, but if you can only get one,
+get Costales unless you're going to be working exclusively with IDA
+sendmail, in which case Avolio & Vixie will probably be more useful.
+
+Note that Paul Vixie is extremely busy working on further development

+ABSTRACT::
+
+Devotes 50 pages (most of chapter 8) to discussion of sendmail. As
+far as TCP/IP networking books go that also happen to discuss
+sendmail, it seems well-written and clear (better than I recall Hunt's
+book being), but rather dated in the face of books devoted to the
+topic and all the recent development activity in the sendmail
+community. Forget about the references, though. The newest
+sendmail-related reference listed is dated 1983, ten years before the
+date on this book and most certainly wildly out-of-date now.
+
+There are other books written on the subject of Internetworking with
+TCP/IP (most notably Comer), but this particular book seems to have a
+unique mix of theory (if perhaps a bit dated) and practical advice.
+Other books tend to have lots of one or the other, or split their
+theory and nitty-gritty details into separate books in a series (like
+Comer).
+
+Assuming that an update will be coming out soon, it probably deserves
+a place on the shelf of most System or Network Administrators, right
+next to _Internetworking with TCP/IP_ by Comer, _Managing Internet
+Information Services_ by Liu, et. al., _DNS and BIND_ by Albitz and
+Liu, _Unix System Administration_ by Nemeth, et. al., and last, but
+certainly not least, _sendmail_ by Costales. However, it deserves
+this place more because of the non-sendmail related material, as
+opposed to what sendmail-related material there is.

+
+As definitive as Costales is on sendmail, this book is on the subject

+for the DNS, namely BIND.
+
+It hasn't been updated yet to reflect the massive changes that

+the DNS community), but even as old as it is, it still stands the test
+of time as the one book *every* DNS/Domain Administrator should have
+on their shelf.
+
+Since the sending of Internet mail is so very heavily dependant on the
+DNS, it obviously also belongs on the shelf of any Postmaster or
+System Administrator whose site does Internet email. And that means
+virtually every administrator of every site on the Internet.
+
+
+This book has recently been updated with a second edition, ISBN
+1-56592-236-0 and 438 pages. It includes updated discussion of
+BIND 4.9.4, as well as many other topics.

+
+Tends to be focussed on the server and standards issues.

+Another good index site, but still very much in the early phases of

+
+A well-rounded site, for the amount of material it covers so far.

+
+Excellent side-by-side feature comparison of various MUAs and their
+compliance with various Internet protocols.

+OTHER_ACCESS:: URL:http://www.reference.com
+ LANGUAGE:: English
+ NOTES:: Not officially online yet, in final stages of beta
+
+ABSTRACT::
+
+Has promise to be the best Usenet news/publicly accessible mailing
+list index/archive site in the world. We'll see how well it delivers
+on this promise. It's in the final stages of beta testing (and is now
+open to the public), and seems quite solid. I haven't yet figured out
+how to really make proper use of the underlying power I'm sure is
+there, but it looks good. Of course, you'll need to wait a little
+while as they backfill their archives before searches will turn up all
+that much information, but it already compares favourably to DejaNews.
+
+Some of the best minds I know of are working on this project, so if it
+can be done, I figure they can do it.

+Subject: Q7 -- THANKS!
+
+
+Special thanks to:
+
+ Eric Allman The core of the material here comes from
+ his FAQ for version 8.6.9 sendmail. I
+ couldn't even have gotten started were it
+ not for him. And if he hadn't written
+ sendmail, there obviously wouldn't even
+ be a FAQ. Heck, there might not even be an
+ Internet.
+
+ Paul Southworth Provides FAQ posting services, useful
+ comments on various sections, and the
+ mailclient-faq. I couldn't have kept
+ doing this were it not for his help.
+
+ Ed Ravin Virtually all the material regarding the
+ use of sendmail on AIX is his, and most
+ of it has been carried over verbatim.
+
+Thanks also to:
+
+ Neil Hoggarth, Andras Salamon, Johan Svensson, Christopher X.
+ Candreva, Bill Wohler, Matthew Wall, Henry W. Farkas, Claus
+ Assmann, Curt Sampson, Rebecca Lasher, Jim Davis, David Keegel,
+ Betty Lee, Alain Durand, Walter Schweizer, Christophe Wolfhugel,
+ Al Gilman, Valdis Kletnieks, John Gardiner Myers, Paul DuBois,
+ Adam Bentley, Dave Sill, Dave Wreski, Paul Caloca, Eamonn
+ Coleman, Michael Fuhr, Betty Lee, Derrell Lipman, and the
+ readers and posters of comp.mail.sendmail.
