sendmail (8.9.3-22) frozen; urgency=high

  * Fix unsafe fgets in mail.local, based on the upstream patch for 8.10.1
    Non-maintainer upload by security team (thanks Wichert).
  * sendmail.cf/mailer/cyrus.m4 incompatible with Debian package
    Thanks Manoj Srivastava (closes: bug #63441)
  * revert fix for 55485 because it doesn't really solve the problem:
    the problem specifically noted in the 8.10 cf/README:

    NOTICE: It is possible to relay mail through a system which the anti-relay
    rules do not prevent: the case of a system that does use FEATURE(`nouucp',
    `nospecial') (system A) and relays local messages to a mail hub (e.g., via
    LOCAL_RELAY or LUSER_RELAY) (system B).  If system B doesn't use
    FEATURE(`nouucp') at all, addresses of the form
    <example.net!user@local.host> would be relayed to <user@example.net>.
    System A doesn't recognize `!' as an address separator and therefore
    forwards it to the mail hub which in turns relays it because it came from
    a trusted local host.  So if a mailserver allows UUCP (bang-format)
    addresses, all systems from which it allows relaying should do the same
    or reject those addresses.

    The bottom line here is basically that a certain *combination* of nouucp
    and non-nouucp on different hosts can open up for multi-level relaying,
    which of course makes it difficult for a pre-packaged version to do "the
    right thing", given that it can't make assumptions about what type of
    systems it gets installed on. Best is probably to not have it use
    FEATURE(nouucp) in 8.9.3, as this is (of course) the default.
    --Per Hedeland

    I've taken the approach of properly warning the user in sendmailconfig
    . debian/local/sendmailconfig (closes: bug#55485)

  * Remove --exec parameter from start-stop-daemon --stop as it can prevent
    orderly shutdown of sendmail during postinst (use just --PIDFILE)
    . debian/sendmail.init.d (closes: #60282)
  * Several older bugs got marked as NMU fixed...

  * add dependancies on sendmail.cf for dialup.m4 and provider.m4
  * create /etc/mail/peers/provider (new conffile)
  * prevent shell expansion in someplace in /etc/init.d/sendmail
    This will allow the new queue checking code to work properly
  * Note that the following are very interdependant:

    . debian/cf/ostype/debian.m4
  * cleanup and extend configuration

    when it is a link - for single provider cases.
    . debian/local/ip-up.d
  * User database is optional !

sendmail (8.9.3-4)  unstable; urgency=low

  * The `back from the dead` release
    Ok... Between glibc 2.1 breaking socksification and IBM having 
    severe problems with email... not to mention health & vacation
    problems... I've procrastinated enough ;-{  
    Sending the currently complete items out to allow further testing.  
    The sendmailconfig rewrite has been held up pending some head bashing 
    (my own).
  * Vastly superior postinst/sendmailconfig setup, still more to do
    will move sendmailconfig to debconf ASAP.  But the current version:
     . Automagically updates sendmail.cf and any related databases upon
       each new release
     . Creates /etc/mail/Makefile that can be used to updated sendmail.cf
       and related databases anytime
     . Creates/updated databases when sendmailconfig is run, and sendmail.mc
       has changed. (closes: bug#43241)
     . Moves/Renames databases according to FHS and Sendmail suggestions
        . text mailertable -> hash mailertable (closes: bug#39021)
  * Ship plain text faq (email request)
  * Have rmail call sendmail with background delivery instead of queueing.
    Local email will be delivered immediately, and sendmail automatically
    queues everything else anyway (at least with the supersafe option which
    debian provides by default).  (closes: bug#31138) - though he wanted
    -odi, and I used -odb
  * Update ip-{up,down}.d/sendmail sample to properly handle dialup hosts!
    the domain name, and Cw are updated based upon the allocated IP.
    The idea comes from, and (closes: bug#42265)
  * /etc/init.d/sendmail now checks for -d /usr/share/sendmail
    instead of /usr/doc/sendmail.  This'll prevent NFS and partial
    migration problems (closes: bug#44035)
  * Start on example files (mailertable, etc): please checkout
    /usr/share/doc/sendmail/examples/db-examples and let me know
    what you think -- please contribute other examples !
  * Finally, lintian clean ;-}
  * Standards 3.0.1, Debhelper v2 (with only a few kluges in debian/rules) ;-}
    . debian/rules
  * Don't start sendmail daemon if nullclient, or if smptd is installed
    . debian/sendmail.init.d (partial fix for 35220) and request of smptd
      maintainer
  * add NoRecipienAction = add-to-undisclosed (suggested setting)
    . debian/debian.m4
  * Add mime header patches from c.m.s
  * SPAM: 
     -- Add imrss, dssl FEATUREs (see www.imrss.org)
        Done using new rbl support
     -- Drop orca/orbs in favour of mrbl patch from C.A.
        They still work this release, by internally using the new rbl support
  * Make sure FEATURE(local_procmail) comes before MAILER(local)
    This will keep accidents from happening where plussed mail
    gets broken... Helps with 34722 (closes: bug#38783) 
  * Add FEATURE(dont_masquerade_local),
    suggested by our fearless leader ;-} (closes: bug#36067)
    . This will prevent local address from being rewritten during local
      delivery.  This most likely also fixes 34715 (closes: bug#34715)
  * Enable mail.local -- for its LMTP support, it may become the default
    and then wouldn't require procmail | deliver ! ;-}
    Will not work via sensible-mda, however ;-{
    . use FEATURE(local_lmtp) to enable
  * Enabled NISPLUS for glibc 2.1
  * Finally support /etc/mail/service.switch (ie, /etc/nsswitch.conf)
    This file was never really consulted, as the default name didn't
    match what Debian uses.  We can't use the real one because sendmail
    doesn't (for the nonce) support this format.
    Also, corrected HACK(nodns) to use /etc/mail/service.switch-nodns
    and to remove FEATURE(nodns). (closes: bug#24608)
  * Start of LDAP support..
    . support compiled into sendmail for OpenLDAP
    . added FEATURE(ldap,``parms'')dnl
    . minimal testing, will do more - feel free ;-}
    . Will need to wait for next release ;-{
  * Fix smrsh manpage: /usr/adm/sm.bin->/usr/lib/sm.bin (closes: bug#40024) 
  * Update to use glibc 2.1, and use its libdb (closes: bug#41325)
    . Previous bugs reported due to libdb2 problems - (closes: bug#34789)
    . also removes problem of specific libdb2 dependancy (closes: bug#44797)
  * sensible-mda updates
    . sensible-mda breaks plussed mail (user+arg@domain) (closes: bug#34722)
        . debian/sensible-mda.c
        . debian/cf/ostype/debian.m4

    . perl5 | perl suggestion

    . debian/sendmail.postinst -- mv /var/log/sendmail.st /var/sendmail/...
  * Sendmail compliance:
    . Move /etc/mail/sendmail.cw to /etc/mail/local-host-names
    . Move /etc/aliases to /etc/mail/aliases and symlinks the two
      so that current users of /etc/aliases continue to work and
      the databases get built inside /etc/mail instead of /etc/
  * FHS: 
    . Move /usr/doc to /usr/share/doc
          . debian/rules
    . Move /usr/man to /usr/share/man
          . debian/local/site.config.m4

    . Move /var/state/sendmail to /var/sendmail/host_status
          . debian/sendmail.postinst, debian/debian.m4
    . Move /usr/tmp/dead.letter to /var/sendmail/dead.letter
          . This means mail is *no longer lost, but put herein*
          . debian/site.config.m4 (closes: bug#24612)
  * Properly fix FHS locations (bug#29420 from 8.9.1-16)
    Sigh... If one puts the define in the wrong place, it doesn't work
    . FHS: Move FEATURE(xxx) databases from /etc/ to /etc/mail/: (#29420)    
      bitdomain.m4, domaintable.m4, genericstable.m4, mailertable.m4,
      uucpdomain.m4, virtusertable.m4
    . Partial fix for 35548, except for /etc/aliases    (closes: bug#35548)
  * Note that 8.9.3-3 also fixes part of 34405: allowing group writable
    home and .forward...  I'm not going to change sendmail's treatment
    of DontBlameSendmail from permanent to temporary - though I think
    there might be a valid case for this! (closes: bug#34405)

    Well, actually it tried... it was just in the wrong spot
  * /etc/init.d/sendmail runs even after sendmail removed (closes: bug#33602)
    Since policy calls for all MTAs to supply /usr/sbin/sendmail, and 
    /etc/mail/sendmail.cf was only deleted upon purge, I'm following
    the suggestion of checking for /usr/doc/sendmail
  * add purgestat to /usr/doc/sendmail/examples/ip-up.d (closes: bug#33405)
    This will allow all mail to be delivered - this is only an example

sendmail (8.9.0-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * first release of 8.9.0.  This drop is very beta in that I've not
    done anything with the control files other than allowing group
    writable directories for .forward.  I've also not done anything
    with the rulesets to improve spam control.

    Basically, this release is ONLY for those who want to play with
    the new version and are experienced enough to modify it themselves.

    I'm thinking of integrating the following into the next release, 
    please let me know what you think:

  * Added Realtime Black Hole ruleset: HACK(rbl).

    run-time deactivation with HACK(nodns) (#12413, #12453, cf. 6495,
    early stage of fix of 16883). 
  * Made name of spam control README more obvious by popular request of
    IRC, and corrected "dbm" to "hash" in documentation (#16065).
  * Now determines at runtime which mail delivery agent to invoke

  * Outbound connections are now quickly retried once after diald has time
    to react, then queued normally.

  * Added SHELL=/bin/bash to rules file and increased debhelperization.
  * Closed #13384, corrected by sed fix to sendmailconfig (cf. 14547).
  * Some undocumented features may now be enabled by config files:

      O MaxRecipientPerMessage=

sendmail (8.8.6-2) unstable; urgency=low

  * Added patch to sendmailconfig from Darrin Stalder so it accepts
    procmail as an alternate local delivery agent (#7897, fixing #3752,
    #3753, #3754, #4064, #9074, much of 10860).  Go Darrin.
  * No longer requires "deliver" for installation (bug list above).
  * Created a "runq" script at request of Martin "Joey" Schulze (#9268).
  * Enabled default support for limited 7->8 bit MIME autoconversion,
    since this security hole was fixed (#6815, #10491).
  * Edited sendmailconfig to make it more clear that a FQDN is needed
    during setup of /etc/mailname (#10512).
  * Added the mail.local local delivery program (cf. 4064).
  * Corrected name of init script in sendmail(8) manpage from /etc/rc to
    /etc/init.d/sendmail (#9176).
  * Closed #6093, a duplicate of 6495 (sendmail insists on performing DNS
    lookups, bringing the PPP link up unnecessarily).  Unfortunately 6495
    is a known bug in the 8.8 series which is not yet fixed.
  * Closed #7843 (incorrect upstream PROCMAIL_MAILER_PATH), since this is
    always redefined by OSTYPE(debian).
  * Closed #5321 -- performance demands that sendmail be run as a daemon.
  * Closed #9550, since package is now in new source format and compliant
    with Standards-Version 2.1.3.3 (cf. 7077, 9845).
  * Closed #5676 (core dump) posted against 8.7.6, which does not apply to
    the versions currently in use in the stable and unstable
    distributions.
  * No longer requires "deliver" for installation (worth repeating).
