It is nearly three years since UK-1.4 sendmail was first released. Much to my surprise sendmail is still with us in a big way and so (less surprising) there is still a lot of interest in UK sendmail. Over the last few months Jem Taylor and I have been working on a new version to improve the UK package and get it a bit more up to date with respect to sendmail enhancements like IDA databases and (minimal) nameserver support. [ drumroll ] We are now ready to take the covers off the UK-2.1 Sendmail Package !! [ fanfare ] As well as new features, there are many improvements including better documentation which describes it all, so I won't go into details here. Distribution will take place as follows (if all goes to plan). I am about to send the list maintainer (idc@hw.cs) copies of the 4 shar files that make up UK-2.1 for him to post on to the DL at his (ftp queue's) convenience. For those who can't wait, it is currently available from the glasgow info server - you can send a message with request: catalogue; topic: sendmail to info_server@glasgow.cs to get the details. In the next couple of days it should be in the ukc info_server as well. In a few weeks we will post it on to the news (comp.unix.sources) for world wide distribution. -Jim
