I have a copy of the first edition of Sendmail, (c) 1993, printing histry shows :November 1993: First Edition, Feb 1994: Minor correction, Sept 1994: Minor corrections. The only instance of checkcompat() in the index points to pg 191, where they discuss the code for the function in conf.c. "Inside conf.c is the often overlooked routine checkcompat(). It has existed since Version 3, and is intended to allow the site administrator to accept, reject, and log mail delivery attempts. It contains coments describing one way to code it. In this section, we provide three other examples of ways it can be used." They do document the most interesting variables include user and host portions of the recipient, the IP of the sending host, the name of the sending host, and the sender information. They show examples of code for the following scenarios: Accept only mail from our domain Refuse to act as a mail gateway Limit size of guest messages Nothing specifically about using it to make decisions based on both sender and recipient. Bummer, it would be nice to rub their nose in an older prior work, but it sounds like 2nd edition might do the trick _______________________________________________ Visit http://www.mimedefang.org and http://www.canit.ca MIMEDefang mailing list [email protected] http://lists.roaringpenguin.com/mailman/listinfo/mimedefang
