Not a good idea, as + that code is required for proper printing of numeric-offset + timezones that have daylight saving time. Without that code, + -0700 during DST gets printed as MST instead of PDT. + + * Renamed DSTXXX as ADJUST_NUMERIC_ONLY_TZ_OFFSETS_WRT_DST and + added an explanatory comment by its #definition. + + * Updated README.developers with the fact that zotnet/tws is going away. + +Thu Jul 20 20:30:52 2000 Dan Harkless + + * Moved Kimmo's new "--with-hash-backup" to be output with the + rest of the --with options in the configure --help output. Also, + people did not preserve my alphabetization of the --with options + when they added new ones. Re-alphabetized. + + * One more pass at README.developers now that it's clear that my + previously-suggested one-line autoconf-file commit can cause + unnecessary local makes and an out-of-sync stamp-h.in file, but + would not cause problems for other people using the CVS files. + + * Ken Hornstein's SASL patch was not integrated properly with + Ruud's new merged mts/sendmail code. Kimmo has since fixed nmh so + it compiles, but according to Ken, the SASL stuff still does not + work. Integrating a patch from him for this. + + * Last pass at README.developers -- Kimmo's 5-step commit was + overkill. You only need 3 steps, since configure.in is the only + autoconf file with the RCS $Id keyword. + + * Applied Kurt J. Lidl 's $MAILHOST patch: + + I have a small patch that would be nice to be included -- + basically, it allows the usage of the "MAILHOST" environment + variable, without having to have HESIOD turned on. I need + this functionality for my environment, where we have identical + /usr/local on all my machines (so I cannot just hardcode into + the mts.conf file), and I have multiple POP mail servers for + my users. + + Modified inc.man to reflect that along with "pophost:" and -host, + $MAILHOST can now activate POP mail inclusion as well. + + * Fixed warnings from diff on first-time install of nmh. Also + added 'echo's clarifying the etc file installation activities. + +Tue Jul 18 19:36:59 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen + + * Added the answer to Dan's question in README.developers. + +Mon Jul 17 19:10:36 2000 Dan Harkless + + * Clarified and made some corrections to Kimmo's README.developers + changes (BTW, if anyone can explain why the RCS Ids are able to cause + problems with the dependencies, please fill in the explanation -- + I never encountered a problem with the old single-commit method). + +Sat Jul 15 23:13:49 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen + + * Add configure option --with-hash-backup so the backup prefix can + be easily changed from "," to "#". + + * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that it works with any make. + + * Use mkstemp in sbr/lock_file.c. + + * Commits of autoconf-related files apparently can't all be done + in one shot due to RCS Ids changing when committing -- updated + README.developers. + +Tue Jul 11 14:18:01 2000 Dan Harkless + + * Clarified post.man and send.man for those not completely up on + SASL terminology. "SASL encryption layers are not supported for + SMTP" means that encryption is supported for the authentication + but not for the subsequent data stream. + +Sat Jul 8 01:36:19 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen + + * Applied Ken Hornstein 's patches + implementing SASL support for POP3 and SMTP. If nmh is compiled + with SASL support, using the -sasl switch on the inc, msgchk, + post, and send commands will enable authentication encryption for + SMTP, and both authentication and data stream encryption for POP3. + +Sat Jun 10 18:37:59 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij + + * Merged mts/sendmail functionality into mts/smtp; switching between + smtp and sendmail delivery method is now controlled by mts.conf. + + * If tsort cannot deal with loops, in addition to defining tsort as + cat, also define lorder as echo. + + * Removed uip/popi.c from list of sources. + +Thu Jun 08 19:36:57 2000 Dan Harkless + + * New dtimep.lex didn't parse day names properly. Fixed. Also + clarified ambiguous comments preceding day_map[] array (from old + dtimep.lex) that probably led to the erroneous cp++ being added. + +Wed Jun 7 20:52:33 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij + + * Added one more mkstemp invocation to uip/spost.c (which was in a + #if 0 block). + + * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to clean up permissions handling + and error handling in uip/inc.c. + +Mon Jun 5 22:10:07 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij + + * Use cat instead of tsort if tsort cannot deal with loops in its + input (which is the case for tsort from GNU textutils). + +Mon Jun 5 21:14:36 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij + + * If lockfile is present, and its dotlockfile program is setgid, + inc does not need to be setgid. + +Sun Jun 4 21:35:40 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij + + * Added autoconf test for Miquel van Smoorenburg's liblockfile + library, as found on Debian systems. + + * Added liblockfile support to sbr/lock_file.c. + +Wed May 31 7:19:30 2000 Shantonu Sen + + * Fixed up dtimep.lex a bit. Added back memory options for AIX to + increase available memory. Took out %option noyywrap, which + wasn't understood by AT&T lex, as well as the -i + case-insensitivity flag. + +Wed May 31 07:40:45 2000 Doug Morris + + * Added a lint target to the Makefiles and a check in autoconf + to determine whether lint or lclint exists on the system. + +Fri May 30 19:21:48 2000 Dan Harkless + + * etc/Makefile.in was incorrectly installing mts.conf.in and + sendfiles.in -- fixed. Generated sendfiles script was not a + dependency of the `all' target, and was incorrectly included in + the distribution. Changed the suffix for the backed-up previous + versions of the etc files from the ambiguous .old to .prev. Added + call to diff -- only keep the .prev files around if different from + the newly-installed versions (intentionally didn't redirect output + to /dev/null so you'll notice when your changed versions are + getting moved aside). + + * INSTALL never documented the etc/*.old thing. Documented the + new etc/*.prev thing (including a note to watch for diff output). + + * Applied Alec Wolman 's dropsbr.c patch: + + In the map_write routine, a call is made to map_open and this + call is supposed to set the "clear" variable to 0 or 1, + depending on whether the map file is empty or not. In + mh6.8.3, this worked because map_open would set "clear" by + calling the mbx_Xopen routine. In nmh, the code for mbx_Xopen + was merged into mbx_open, but the interface for mbx_open + doesn't support the clear variable, so that functionality was + lost. The map_open interface still contains "int *clear" in + the prototype, but never sets it. + + My patch eliminates "clear" from the map_open interface (I + checked to make sure that map_write is the only client of + map_open). Furthermore, my patch also sets the "clear" + variable properly at the beginning of map_write by calling + fstat(). This eliminates the bug in that the value of "clear" + being used later in the routine was just stack garbage. + + Having a bad value of clear causes this next bug to be + triggered: The fp file pointer was being opened with fdopen, + but in two of the three switch cases it wasn't being closed. + In certain cases, this was causing packf to run out of file + descriptors if you attempted to pack a large folder. + +Mon May 29 7:48:15 2000 Shantonu Sen + + * Moved the date parsing routines from zotnet/tws to sbr/ (and + tws.h to h/). Updated all source files to reflect to new location + of tws.h. + + * Rewrote dparsetime (in dtimep.lex -> dtimep.c) to replace the + old zotnet/tws/dtimep.c, dtimep.lex, lexstring.c, lexedit.c, and + dtimep.c-lexed. It should now work with flex (although untested + with lex), and requires no sed-ing. For now, I have the lexed + version in the distribution, so that end-users don't need to worry + about running it through flex/lex. I have not added back support + for guessing the time zone when it's not specified. + +Sun May 28 17:44:15 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij + + * Added autoconf check for getutent(). + + * Changed uip/rcvtty.c and uip/slocal.c to use getutent() and + friends. Since I can only check on Linux, please check if + this works on other systems. + +Sun May 28 14:58:49 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij + + * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to uip/scansbr.c for more + checks for write failures. + + * Unlink temporary file properly in uip/rcvtty.c. + + * Moved viamail from bindir to libdir. + + * Changed sendfiles into sendfiles.in, so that path to viamail + is patched in. + + * Added gzip support to sendfiles. + + * Added References header to replcomps and replgroupcomps. + +Sun May 28 14:39:31 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij + + * Fixed m_getfld bug which caused segmentation faults when + incorporating messages which ended in multiple linefeeds crossing + a buffer boundary. + +Fri May 26 13:21:59 2000 Dan Harkless + + * msh has been unable to show MIME messages ever since 1.0. Alec + Wolman tracked down the problem to the + -show flag being passed to mhshow. mhshow is equivalent to the + old mhn -show, so we don't need the -show anymore. Removed it. + +Fri May 12 02:51:21 2000 Shantonu Sen + + * zotnet/bboards is not longer built by default. Goal is to move + the assorted functions in zotnet into sbr or some more logical + place. + + * Moved zotnet/mf to sbr, and changed mf.h references accordingly, + as well as Makefiles. + +Thu May 11 02:21:34 2000 Shantonu Sen + + * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that both SRCS and OBJS aren't + seperately and redundantly defined, but so that OBJS is a + pattern-substituted version of SRCS with suffix .c -> .o. This + should make maintainability easier. + + * Added section to MACHINES indicating what platforms nmh is known + to compile and work on, just to give users peace of mind, or + something. This is by no means complete or exhaustive, so add + whatever you know works. + +Tue May 09 20:38:04 2000 Dan Harkless + + * Alphabetized Shantonu's $pop_kinds output on configure's "pop is + enabled" line. If POP3 is the only kind of POP enabled, say so, + rather than just saying "yes" (which is ambiguous). + + * Fixed four warnings in Shantonu's new getpass.c. Needed to + #include for calloc(), for ttyname(), and + "h/mh.h" for adios(). Also changed ch from char to int to get rid + of "comparison is always 1 due to limited range of data type" on EOF. + + * Added steps to README.developers saying to change the version + number to X.Y.Z+dev. Did a little rearranging and changed the FTP + dir from /home/ftp to /var/ftp to reflect Doug's new machine. + + * Changed configure.in to use gcc -Wall even without + --enable-debug, to prevent developers compiling optimized from + introducing warnings, and to give end-users a warm, fuzzy feeling + as they (hopefully) see no warnings come out (except perhaps on + the lex output file) even with -Wall. + + * Renamed getpass() to nmh_getpass() since the prototype for + getpass() varies from OS to OS, and we want to _always_ use our + version of the function. Fixed all the callers to use + nmh_getpass() and added it to prototypes.h. Semi-arbitrarily + upped MAX_PASSWORD_LEN from 128 to 256. buf was being calloc()'d + and the memory leaked -- should have just been declared as static + char array. Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the + copyright message, as this version has been changed significantly + from the BSD version. + + * Added "nmh-local functions to use in preference to OS versions" + section to README.developers (currently just says to use + nmh_getpass() instead of system getpass()). + + * Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the copyright message + in ruserpass.c also. + + * Added mts.conf.5 page per Neil W Rickert 's + report: + + This happens on solaris: + + % man mts.conf + windex entry incorrect: mts.conf(5) not found. + No manual entry for mts.conf. + + It is fixed by + + % echo ".so man5/mh-tailor.5" > mts.conf.5 + + done in the man5 directory. We need to add 'mts.conf.5' as a + reference sourcing mh-tailor.5. + +Mon May 08 23:51:55 2000 Dan Harkless + + * Doug informed me that the way I had restored the "lost" version + histories was wrong, because `cvs checkout's of old versions of + nmh wouldn't work properly. It occurs to me that this could be + fixed by simply deleting those tags in the new-location *,v files, + but oh well. I'm putting everything back to the way Doug + originally had it. To get the old version history for a file that + used to be in the top directory, you'll need to "blindly" do a + `cvs log' there (even though you won't have a local copy of the + file in that directory). `cvs diff' will no longer be able to + diff pre-move versions vs. post-move versions -- you'll have to do + a lot of manual gyrations with `cvs checkout' and then use `diff'. + + * I had alphabetized the --configure options in the --help output + awhile back, but Shantonu added --enable-apop just under + --enable-pop. Put it in alphabetical order and clarified what + --enable-apop does vs. --enable-pop and --with-krb4. Also changed + --with-mts help line from "mail transport agent" to "mail + transport agent/service" so the 's' in "mts" doesn't seem to come + out of nowhere. + + * Added two steps to "releasing nmh" in README.developers. After + making the tarball, it's a good idea to diff the tree vs. the CVS + tree to make sure no files got left out, and then to chown the + files so that they're owned by root, preventing a Trojaning attack + by a malicious remote user with a UID matching yours. + + * Changed DIFFERENCES to say that RPOP is not currently supported + rather than implying it by saying that APOP, KPOP, and POP[3] are. + +Sun May 07 18:16:43 2000 Shantonu Sen + + * Imported NetBSD version of getpass() and made extensive + revisions for compatibility with programs that pipe the password + to stdin, such as exmh. + + * Removed tests for system ruserpass() which sometimes gave + phantom positive results. Also, bext to use internal functions if + we ever want to change .netrc format to something else, or access + other files. + +Sat May 06 08:28:09 2000 Dan Harkless + + * Restored lost version histories for those moved files by doing a + manual `mv' in the CVSROOT on mhost. CVS badly needs a `cvs mv' + command so that you can move files (without having physical access + to the CVSROOT) without losing versioning. Put MACHINES back at + the top level as it needs to be read before building. Fixed DIST + variable in {.,docs}/Makefile.in to reflect that and to add + missing entry for "INSTALL" file. + +Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris + + * Re-cleaned up nmh documentation (by moving things to docs + subdir) and modified Makefile & configure.in to handle the change. + +Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless + + * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output + for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified. + +Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen + + * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using + --enable-apop. + + * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line + along with any -host or -user option. + +Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless + + * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release. + + * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the + process was fresh in my mind. + +Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless + + * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and + ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in. + + * Released nmh-1.0.4. + +Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless + + * Applied Brian Campbell 's mhn.defaults.sh + patch: + + It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the + iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments + to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're + part of the program's name. + + This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from + mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not + to quote. + +Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris + + * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character + format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of + format characters with an empty item at the end. A + single-character format would cause programs using this + function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on + the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array + when the format string was one character. This eventually + caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1 + in the array. + +Thu Apr 06 21:53:50 2000 Dan Harkless + + * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh. + Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are + nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added + back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they + can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or + "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?" + + I've added a new file to the nmh tree called + ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the + mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries + to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the + ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for + versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at + . Also, it appears to me that there + are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs. + + I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is + based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format + and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was + loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to + HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "" and "" + tags, and "<" and ">" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite + doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that + some of the changes this file documents as having been made in + MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3 + and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff. + +Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless + + * Applied Eric Schnoebelen 's mhshowsbr.c patch + fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code: + + Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors + while attempting to process some MIME messages: + + (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string + exit 2 + + and: + + (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped) + + (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in + mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by + mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in + mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux(). + + Resolving the pointer reference issue in + mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting + problem in the routine. + +Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris + + * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to + prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message: + + Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump + core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ. + I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail + spool somehow. + +Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless + + * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch, + so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately + he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that + if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP + exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's + new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop + turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user + complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work + like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more + clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man. + +Wed Mar 15 18:45:45 2000 Dan Harkless + + * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had + the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all + modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a + leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if + internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was + unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which + mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no + leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an + atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the + ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the + "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more + interesting than a duplication of the default. + + * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I + didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-* + options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route. + I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will + still work as well (they just aren't advertised). + + * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether + POP is enabled. + + * Added a new README.developers file. From the file: + + This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing + development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard + way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best + encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom + here. + + Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure". + +Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless + + * Applied, after some finessing, + Simon Burge 's --with-smtpservers patch: + + Here's a patch that allows you to add + + --with-smtpservers= + + to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in + etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all + machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine + and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use + + --with-smtpservers=mailhost + + instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often + forgetting to do so!). + + * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option + to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf. + You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like + --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit + arguments to enable all three types. + + * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and + INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter. + + * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't + done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for + --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an + updated copy of mts.conf. + + * Applied Simon Burge 's dtimep.lex patch: + + It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM + seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!). + I've got a few emails this month that look like: + + 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ... + and + 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ... + + The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has + "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so + that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok. + + I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called + FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in + acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it. + + * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex + lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in + zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed. + + * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files. + +Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless + + * Applied Sullivan N. Beck 's mhshow-suffix patch: + + With the patch below, you can add lines like: + + mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc + mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps + + to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a + scratch file. This allows applications which require a + certain suffix to run properly. + + * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I + believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added + "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html". + + * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the + extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP + envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global + idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying + and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a + mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan" + and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh"). + + * Applied Simon Burge 's dtime.c patch: + + There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation + of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week + calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up + until some year far in the future). + +Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless + + * Applied Neil W Rickert 's msh.c patch: + + I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing + errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox. + + It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with + calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and + corrupted. + +Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless + + * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's + "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from + qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed + checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION, + which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA + ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character. + +Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless + + * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants. + + * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date + (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should + consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there. + + * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username + masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested + by Neil Rickert . It's based on sendmail's + "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to + will be + delivered to .
