Finer spam control by using tags for the LHS of the access map
You can now tag entries in the access map based on their type. Three tags are available. They
are:
1. Connect: connection information (${client_addr}, ${client_name})
2. From: sender
3. To: recipient
From:[e-mail] REJECT
To:friend.domain RELAY
Connect:friend.domain OK
Connect.from.domain RELAY
From:[e-mail] OK
From:another.dom REJECT
If the required item is looked up in a map, it will be tried with the corresponding tag in front, then
without any tag (as fallback to enable backward compatibility). For example,
Changed Features
The following changes have been made in version 8.11.1 of Sendmail:
• The error code returned for unrecognized parameters to the SMTP mail and RCPT commands
is changed from 501 to 555 as per RFC 1869.
• The configuration file (Sendmail.cf) version number is incremented to 9.
• Aliases with no right hand side are provided with 'missing value' warnings, when 'newaliases'
is run instead of making an attempt to deliver the mail messages to an alias.
• A new mailer flag, 'F=%' is included in this release. Mailers, which have this flag will not
attempt to deliver the message to the initial recipient. Those mails will be queued up. The
queued messages are selected using one of the -qI/-qR/-qS queue run modifiers or an ETRN
request and then delivered to the recipient.
• The [hostname] is added to class 'w' for the names of all interfaces unless DontProbeInterfaces
option is set. This is useful for sending mails to hosts, which have dynamically assigned names.
• All numbered rulesets have been named in this release. They can still be accessed by their
numbers. For example, Scanonify=3 instead of S3; SRecurse =97 instead of S97.
