MOORE@MIDD.BITNET (11/23/88)
Sorry to bring up religious matters in polite company ... I'm something of a junior mail hacker, and I've gotten curious about the current revs and availability of certain mail handlers. Questions for the masses are: 1) Any one know the latest rev of Sendmail ? I know 5.59 exists, is there anything beyond ?? 2) How about the IDA Sendmail enhancements available at from xerox machines (I forget the exact one) ? I know about 1.2.something. 3) What's the state of affairs as far as MH and Elm go ?? I know these things exist, but that's about it ? 4) Any other favorites out there ? Please send all responses directly to me, as I'm way behind in my news reading. I'll summarize everything if folks are interested. Apologies to folks getting this twice through info-unix and sun-spots -- just trying to cover a large readership. Thanks in advance, Evan R. Moore Academic Computing Services Middlebury College MOORE@MIDD on the BITNET 91erm@cc.williams.edu is a past life which forwards to my new home. Internet folks feel free to use it. (Spelling errors can't be helped. I have no primary language.)

Sendmail 5.59 is the latest I know of. > 2) How about the IDA Sendmail enhancements available at from xerox > machines (I forget the exact one) ? I know about 1.2.something. Lennart Lovstrand sent me his IDA kit 1.2.5 a few months ago. I believe it has now been posted to comp.sources.unix. However, he has just released 1.2.8, but he haven't posted it. I beliveve he intends to add even more features before the next official release. It can, however, be ftp:ed from Xerox (Lennart Lovstrand works for Xerox at their EuroPARC in the U.K.). -prc

There is now a later version. I quote Gene Spafford's (spaf@cs.purdue.edu) USENET article (5644@medusa.cs.purdue.edu): "The new version of sendmail will be version 5.61. It is scheduled to be available after December 12. *Any* version prior to 5.59, even if patched .. has some security problems and should be replaced." Would anyone at Sun like to comment? Frank
