Sendmail 8.7.5
I've compiled sendmail 8.7.5 and I've got it running suid-mail! [I
don't see any reason to run it suid-root --- especially given the
history of vulnerabilities.] Then again I've barely tested it.
I'm probably too busy to maintain this myself. Especially since I
don't understand mailbox locking. But if someone else is working on
it, we might collaborate.
One technical question (I'm a sendmail newbie :), I can link it with
-ldb or '-ldb -lgdbm'. What features do I add by including gdbm? Or
is it just an extra dependancy? (In my installation -ldb is all that
seems necessary.) Perhaps this question is best asked in
comp.mail.sendmail :)
