Here's a key to the markup:
        [page-number]: serious technical mistake
        {page-number}: minor technical mistake
        <page-number>: important language/formatting problem
        (page-number): language change or minor formatting problem
        ?page-number?: reader question or request for clarification

UNCONFIRMED  errors and comments from readers: 


(142) 3.4.70: a zombie is a process that *has* died, but no parent process is waiting for it.


(148): 4.1.3: "right parenthesis" should be "left parenthesis"


(155): 4.2.3.1: the $Id$ macro was mistakenly expanded


{348}  last paragraph of section 8.5.6 (just before section 8.6);
The errata for this paragraph is itself in error. (And the paragraph actually begins
with "Here, the envelope-recipient...".)

The suggested correction:

Rule set EnvToSMTP (line 4) sees the special tag *LOCAL* ...

is wrong because EnvToSMTP is on line 3, and MasqSMTP on line 4 is the tag
referencing *LOCAL*.

The entire correction should be checked and reformulated.


{948}2nd indented line;
Page 976, 24.9.5
2nd indented line
-O is a command line option


{949}section 24.9.6
2nd indented line
-O is a command line option


{1112}  25.12.8 Content-Disposition;
The errata for this paragraph is itself in error.

The reference refers to Content-Type, not Content-Disposition, so I'm not sure if this correction actually applies to this section whatsoever.



(1177)  RFC3207;
The errata for RFC2487 is incomplete.

In order to be consistent with the formatting of other RFC's, the 2nd line of RFC3207
should read:

P. Hoffman, February 2002, 7 pp. (Obsoletes RFC2487)

and the entire entry for RFC2487 should be removed.
