has anybody out there already merged the MX-sendmail with Lennard Loevstrand's IDA-enhancements? Any hints would be greatly appreciated, thanks a lot, Axel ap@unido.uucp ap@unido.bitnet

That's "Lennert Lovstrand" with some special do-dads over the "o". We should
at least try to get his name right, though he's pretty understanding...
Anyway, 5.59 IDA. Dave Koblas at MIPS did one; I did one with some unwitting
assistance from Erik Fair; and (drum roll, please) Lennert has one that he
wants to send out. Look for it in comp.sources.unix some time soon.

Gentlemen and -women, it does indeed exist! Please welcome the IDA Sendmail Enhancement Kit v1.2 for sendmail 5.59 with MX and Yellow Pages support. It has tonight been made available on Arisia.Xerox.COM in ~ftp/pub1/ida.tar.Z (available via anonymous ftp) and will be sent to comp.sources.unix shortly. The major change is that of Yellow Pages support, but others include dbm file update locking, setting classes from programs (eg. CU|uuname), delayed macro evaluation (from the net), rfc822 quoted macro expansion, address rewriting loop detection and an extra compile-time frozen file check; the latter ones contributed by Guy Middleton @ Waterloo. There has also been some bug fixes and slight improvements on the IDA configuration file and associated files. All the old enhancements still apply, with the exception of BSD2.9 and 4.2 support, although it will compile and run under SunOS 3.x given that you have bind 4.8 as well. For those of you who haven't heard of this before, the IDA Enhancement Kit is a set of changes to the standard Berkeley mailer which implements the following features: o Nameserver Default Argument o Direct Access to Dbm(3) Files o Batched SMTP Support o Separate Envelope/Header Rewriting Rulesets o Separate Local UUCP Host Name o Return Path for UUCP Mailers o UUCP Header Address Relativization o Support for Multi-Token Matches o Support for Embedded Subruleset Calls o Elaborate Matching Algorithm for Unknown Local Recipients o Support for Maryland's Mdbm Package o Improved Test Mode Output o Better To: and Cc: Headers of Returned Messages It also comes with the IDA Configuration Kit, which has pathalias based systems routing within sendmail, fully !-/@-translating rulesets, generic localuser addresses, and more. Enjoy! --Lennart Lovstrand Rank Xerox EuroPARC, Cambridge, England DARPA Internet: Lovstrand.EuroPARC@Xerox.COM Xerox Internet: Lovstrand:EuroPARC:RX

The only problem with IDA is that it requires source..... For those that have gotten bruised fighting for source license it can't be used. How about a binary/purchasable product? -tank- -- #include <disclaimer.h> /* nobody knows the trouble I .... */

I ftp'd both IDA and sendmail anonymously, and have placed both for anonymous uucp download on bigtex. Is there any copyright problem with either? -- James R.
