Log message:
Update sendmail to 8.15.2.
pkgsrc change: default to enable TLS
- this has been requested a couple of times and most systems are going
to have a recent enough version of openssl so in most cases there
won't be additional dependencies
8.15.2/8.15.2 2015/07/03
If FEATURE(`nopercenthack') is used then some bogus input triggered
a recursion which was caught and logged as
SYSERR: rewrite: excessive recursion (max 50) ...
Fix based on patch from Ondrej Holas.
DHParameters now by default uses an included 2048 bit prime.
The value 'none' previously caused a log entry claiming
there was an error "cannot read or set DH parameters".
Also note that this option applies to the server side only.
The U= mailer field didn't accept group names containing hyphens,
underbars, or periods. Based on patch from David Gwynne
of the University of Queensland.
CONFIG: Allow connections from IPv6:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1 to relay again.
Patch from Lars-Johan Liman of Netnod Internet Exchange.
CONFIG: New option UseCompressedIPv6Addresses to select between
compressed and uncompressed IPv6 addresses. The default
value depends on the compile-time option IPV6_FULL:
For 1 the default is False, for 0 it is True, thus
preserving the current behaviour. Based on patch from
John Beck of Oracle.
CONFIG: Account for IPv6 localhost addresses in
FEATURE(`block_bad_helo'). Suggested by Andrey Chernov
from FreeBSD and Robert Scheck from the Fedora Project.
CONFIG: Account for IPv6 localhost addresses in check_mail ruleset.
LIBMILTER: Deal with more invalid protocol data to avoid potential
crashes. Problem noted by Dimitri Kirchner.
LIBMILTER: Allow a milter to specify an empty macro list ("", not
NULL) in smfi_setsymlist() so no macro is sent for the
selected stage.
MAKEMAP: A change to check TrustedUser in fewer cases which was
made in 2013 caused a potential regression when makemap
was run as root (which should not be done anyway).
Note: sendmail often contains options "For Future Releases"
(prefix _FFR_) which might be enabled in a subsequent
version or might simply be removed as they turned out not
to be really useful. These features are usually not
documented but if they are, then the required (FFR)
options are listed in
- doc/op/op.* for rulesets and macros,
- cf/README for mc/cf options.

Log message:
Update sendmail to 8.15.1: this is mostly a feature/bugfix release.
Note that there was an incompatible config change for IPv6 users.
See the MESSAGE file for details.
pkgsrc change: delete a couple of patches that have been upstreamed
Proofpoint, Inc., and the Sendmail Consortium announce the availability
of sendmail 8.15.1. This release:
o offers more TLS related features,
o does not ignore temporary map lookup failures during header rewriting,
o uses uncompressed IPv6 addresses by default, which is an incompatible
change that requires to update IPv6 related configuration data.
as well as many other enhancements. For details see the release
notes below.
SENDMAIL RELEASE NOTES
This listing shows the version of the sendmail binary, the version
of the sendmail configuration files, the date of release, and a
summary of the changes in that release.
8.15.1/8.15.1 2014/12/06
SECURITY: Properly set the close-on-exec flag for file descriptors
(except stdin, stdout, and stderr) before executing mailers.
If header rewriting fails due to a temporary map lookup failure,
queue the mail for later retry instead of sending it
without rewriting the header. Note: this is done
while the mail is being sent and hence the transaction
is aborted, which only works for SMTP/LMTP mailers
hence the handling of temporary map failures is
suppressed for other mailers. SMTP/LMTP servers may
complain about aborted transactions when this problem
occurs.
See also "DNS Lookups" in sendmail/TUNING.
Incompatible Change: Use uncompressed IPv6 addresses by default,
i.e., they will not contain "::". For example,
instead of ::1 it will be 0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1. This
permits a zero subnet to have a more specific match,
such as different map entries for IPv6:0:0 vs IPv6:0.
This change requires that configuration data
(including maps, files, classes, custom ruleset,
etc) must use the same format, so make certain such
configuration data is updated before using 8.15.
As a very simple check search for patterns like
'IPv6:[0-9a-fA-F:]*::' and 'IPv6::'. If necessary,
the prior format can be retained by compiling with:
APPENDDEF(`conf_sendmail_ENVDEF', `-DIPV6_FULL=0')
in your devtools/Site/site.config.m4 file.
If debugging is turned on (-d0.14) also print the OpenSSL
versions, both build time and run time
(provided STARTTLS is compiled in).
If a connection to the MTA is dropped by the client before its
hostname can be validated, treat it as "may be forged",
so that the unvalidated hostname is not passed to a
milter in xxfi_connect().
Add a timeout for communication with socket map servers
which can be specified using the -d option.
Add a compile time option HESIOD_ALLOW_NUMERIC_LOGIN to allow
numeric logins even if HESIOD is enabled.
The new option CertFingerprintAlgorithm specifies the finger-
print algorithm (digest) to use for the presented cert.
If the option is not set, md5 is used and the macro
{cert_md5} contains the cert fingerprint.
However, if the option is set, the specified algorithm
(e.g., sha1) is used and the macro {cert_fp} contains
the cert fingerprint.
That is, as long as the option is not set, the behaviour
does not change, but otherwise, {cert_md5} is superseded
by {cert_fp} even if you set CertFingerprintAlgorithm
to md5.
The options ServerSSLOptions and ClientSSLOptions can be used
to set SSL options for the server and client side
respectively. See SSL_CTX_set_options(3) for a list.
Note: this change turns on SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 and
SSL_OP_NO_TICKET for the client. See doc/op/op.me
for details.
A new map type "arpa" is available to reverse an IP (IPv4 or IPv6)
address. It returns the string for the PTR lookup, but
without trailing {ip6,in-addr}.arpa.
New operation mode 'C' just checks the configuration file, e.g.,
sendmail -C new.cf -bC
will perform a basic syntax/consistency check of new.cf.
The mailer flag 'I' is deprecated and will be removed in a
future version.
Allow local (not just TCP) socket connections to the server, e.g.,
O DaemonPortOptions=Family=local, Addr=/var/mta/server.sock
can be used.
If the new option MaxQueueAge is set to a value greater than zero,
entries in the queue will be retried during a queue run
only if the individual retry time has been reached which
is doubled for each attempt. The maximum retry time is
limited by the specified value.
New DontBlameSendmail option GroupReadableDefaultAuthInfoFile
to relax requirement for DefaultAuthInfo file.
Reset timeout after receiving a message to appropriate value if
STARTTLS is in use. Based on patch by Kelsey Cummings
of Sonic.net.
Report correct error messages from the LDAP library for a range of
small negative return values covering those used by OpenLDAP.
Fix compilation with Berkeley DB 5.0 and 6.0. Patch from
Allan E Johannesen of Worcester Polytechnic Institute.
CONFIG: FEATURE(`nopercenthack') takes one parameter: reject or
nospecial which describes whether to disallow "%" in the
local part of an address.
DEVTOOLS: Fix regression in auto-detection of libraries when only
shared libraries are available. Problem reported by
Bryan Costales.
LIBMILTER: Mark communication socket as close-on-exec in case
a user's filter starts other applications.
Based on patch from Paul Howarth.
Portability:
SunOS 5.12 has changed the API for sigwait(2) to conform
with XPG7. Based on patch from Roger Faulkner of Oracle.
