I have had access to sendmail source for a while, but hadn't wanted to do anything with it because I wasn't sure if I needed a source license of some source or not; obviously I didn't look at the code enough. Now, the question comes up of how to build it for System V, specifically a UNIX PC. I played around with it a bit, turning off most features to avoid obvious Berkeleyisms, but it still won't go. Any suggestions on an easy way to do this, or is it guaranteed hard labor? (No, I don't *need* it, just wanted something else to hack on.) -- Karl Swartz |UUCP {gatech!emoryu1,uunet!dasys1}!ditka!kls 1-505/667-2402 (work) |ARPA rt1!ditka!kls@hc.dspo.gov 1-505/672-3113 (home) |BIX kswartz "I never let my schooling get in the way of my education."

(No, I don't >*need* it, just wanted something else to hack on.) One thing that I remember is that you need to watch out for open being called with a null string. The meaning is different between System V and BSD.

However, in this case you can get it with all the work already done; check out unix-pc.all or comp.archives (if and when), there is at least one Unix-PC which has it available via anonymous UUCP. ++Brandon -- Brandon S.

About 3-5 months ago, someone in comp.sys.att mentioned that a version of
sendmail 5.59 had been ported to System V, and is available for anonymous
FTP from ucsd.edu. I have taken this source and, after adding some local
mods, brought it up. I don't know if it is still available at this site,
but it is worth a try. The source, stored in a CPIO archive, is 414,720
bytes in size. The file was sendmail.sys5.cpio.
If you have any questions in bringing this up, feel free to mail me.
Oh, and BTW, I brought this up on a 3b15 running Wollengong TCP/IP. The
Sendmail they had sent with V1.1 of their TCP/IP contained so many bugs
that I trashed it for this port. WIN/3b v1.1's Sendmail version was only
at 4.3!
