Subject: sendmail & classes: a bug?
Summary: The classmembership seems to work in a buggy way
Keywords: sendmail, mail, bsd, bugs
Date: 5 Sep 92 15:43:16 GMT
Organization: Delft University of Technology

Hello,

Currently we are taking a better look at our sendmail configuration and wanted
to use a .cf file of our Sun-neighbours. Apart from some expectable differences,
we found a strange behaviour in the handling of classmembership.

The line

Cm myname.mydomain myname.mydomain.mycountry my.other.full.name

creates a class named 'm' which contains the list of myname-names. This is a
correct definition. Now the sun-.cf file has the following construction:

$+$=m

which means one or more tokens, which are -concatenated- contained in class m.

However, this combination doesn't seem to exist in my BSD source of sendmail 
(5.67). And thus it isn't possible to get a match of myname.mydomain.mycountry
for instance. In the sun way, this is matched :

'myname' is no part of class m
'myname.' is no part of class m
..
'myname.mydomain.' is no part of class m
'myname.mydomain.mycountry' is part of class m: MATCH

My sendmail does:

'myname' is no part of class m
'.' is no part of class m
...
'mycountry' is no part of class m: NO MATCH.

Is this a bug? If so: is it patched? If not (patched): do you like to have
a patch? 

You could post your answers, but also mail them to me. I will post a summary.

You're going to use the   the    the U WORD???

Seriously now... I can't really adivse you on the legal niceties
here, but let me say this: "Unix" as a word would appear to have
passed within the language mainstream, much as the words "kleenex"
and "xerox" have.

Thus, "unix" could be referring to a specific flavor of an OS, or
it could be a general term, covering all flavors of the OS.
Some legal or academic nit-picker may disagree with this. Just an
observation.

He wasn't trying to give the full description.  He was trying to
suggest that if you type "man 7 man" at your shell prompt, you will
get the information you need.  As an example of the contents of the
manpage, he quoted the first page or so.

Try looking at the man(7) manpage on your system.  On my SVR4 system,
it is quite clear on what the macros are, how to use them, and what
they do.

This is (and I've commented on it before) the only real problem with the
UNIX API. And it would be *so* easy to fix, in a completely compatible way,
by introducing the concept of file tokens.

Because regular expressions are inconvenient for interactive use, and

Apart from the shell, what uses wildcards?

Historical dreg. There are some problems with the standard shells. This
is not an inherent UNIX problem

Oh, there are more than just those two. You forgot wildcards.

UNIX imposes no structure on files. Applications and tools do. These tools
exist because they're convenient.

They shouldn't have any. Fixing this should have been a basic requirement
for commercial release of UNIX. A really good commercial quality UNIX has
not yet been built.

I am.

No, it's for convenience. To make the normal case work better.

The fix is to use a network file system instead of the r-suite. Berkeley
networking is such a kludge.

I'm soliciting opinions on reliable optical disk systems. We
need to backup large amounts of data in a way that will allow
at least pseudo-random access to the files, so I can't easily
use my 8mm tape. We've been using Delta Microsystem's SS-800W,
but its reliability (or the reliability of the platters) is
just too poor for us to stick with it.

WORM is okay, and a SCSI interface is necessary. Any suggestions?

Yes, use xntp, originasting from ftp site louie.udel.edu (file

If you can't ftp, mail me and I'll give other directions.

  I must be missing something on this one.  If your complaint is that you 
need to quote the file list to keep it from being expanded before the
rsh on machine-id get the command line arguments, then with csh you can
get around this with an alias.  For example:

   alias rls 'set noglob; rsh \!:1 ls \!:2* ; unset noglob'

  rls machine-id a* will now give the same results as if one rlogin'd to
machine-id and did ls a*.  Please clarify if your complaint meant to
imply something different.

As Mark D Baushke wrote to me, this question was better posted in comp.mail.send
mail. But as I've promised a summary, and his answer was complete, I will post
his answer in short.

The multi-token class match came originally from the IDA patch of Sendmail. The
Sun version isn't available without a license. The IDA package is, you could 
try ftp it from gatekeeper.dec.com. This contains some patches to the origi-
nal sendmail. With these patches, most of the Sun features become available.

Thanks for your info Mark,

Frank
