[comp.mail.sendmail] SunOS 4.1 default sendmail.cf bug

msir@sulu.cc.rochester.edu (Mark Sirota) (09/26/90)

I've been told that there is a bug in the sendmail.cf that is distributed
with SunOS 4.1.  The bug has something to do with commas as delimiters
between addresses, and I know that the MUA Mush needs to be compiled with
-DNO_COMMAS to work around it.

Can someone tell me what, specifically, the bug is?  What needs to be
changed to fix it?  Is it in the server or client configuration file?

The only thing I know of that affects between-address delimiting is the 'o'
option, which, if set, assumes that the headers may be in old format (spaces
delimit names).  If not set, only commas delimit names.  Is this it?  The
option is set in the distribution sendmail.cf, as it always has been...

Thanks in advance.  In your replies, please assume that I *do* know
something about sendmail and configuration files...  Saying so seems to be a
necessity with this group.  :-)
