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.

8.13.4/8.13.4	2005/03/27
	The bug fixes in 8.13.3 for connection handling uncovered a
		different error which could result in connections that
		stay in CLOSE_WAIT state due to a variable that was not
		properly initialized.  Problem noted by Michael Sims.
	Deal with empty hostnames in hostsignature().  This bug could lead
		to an endless loop when doing LMTP deliveries to another
		host.  Problem first reported by Martin Lathoud and
		tracked down by Gael Roualland.
	Make sure return parameters are initialized in getmxrr().  Problem
		found by Gael Roualland using valgrind.
	If shared memory is used and the RunAsUser option is set, then the
		owner and group of the shared memory segment is set to 
		the ids specified RunAsUser and the access mode is set
		to 0660 to allow for updates by sendmail processes.
	The number of queue entries that is (optionally) kept in shared
		memory was wrong in some cases, e.g., envelope splitting
		and bounce generation.
	Undo a change made in 8.13.0 to silently truncate long strings
		in address rewriting because the message can be triggered
		for header checks where long strings are legitimate.
		Problem reported by Mary Verge DeSisto, and tracked
		down with the help of John Beck of Sun Microsystems.
	The internal stab map did not obey the -m flag.  Patch from
		Rob McMahon of Warwick University, England.
	The socket map did not obey the -f flag.  Problem noted by
		Dan Ringdahl, forwarded by Andrzej Filip.
	The addition of LDAP recursion in 8.13.0 broke enforcement of
		the LDAP map -1 argument which tells the MTA to only
		return success if and only if a single LDAP match is found.
	Add additional error checks in the MTA for milter communication
		to avoid a possible segmentation fault.  Based on patch
		by Joe Maimon.
	Do not trigger an assertion if X509_digest() returns success but
		does not assign a value to its output parameter.  Based
		on patch by Brian Kantor.
	Add more checks when resetting internal AUTH data (applies only
		to Cyrus SASL version 2).  Otherwise an SMTP session might
		be dropped after an AUTH failure.
	Portability:
		Add LA_LONGLONG as valid LA_TYPE type for systems that use
			"long long" to read load average data, e.g.,
			AIX 5.1 in 32 bit mode.  Note: this has to be set
			"by hand", it is not (yet) automatically detected.
			Problem noted by Burak Bilen.
		Use socklen_t for accept(), etc. on AIX 5.x.  This should
			fix problems when compiling in 64 bit mode.
			Problem first reported by Harry Meiert of
			University of Bremen.
	New Files:
		include/sm/sem.h
		libsm/sem.c
		libsm/t-sem.c
