The following parts of section 18.3 have been updated:

"sendmail" to "m4(1)"

from "Everything to the left of the rightmost exclamation point is
taken as the full UUCP path for delivery." to "The host to the left of
the leftmost exclamation point is taken as the next hop in the UUCP
path for delivery." Plus, in the 3rd sentence, changed "path" to
"host".

replaced para. 1 ("V8 sendmail...") through para. 2 ("When you cd...")
with:

The latest release of sendmail is available via:

http://www.sendmail.org/current-release.html

Down-loading the source requires you to select one from many listed
files. In addition to version, you may choose between two forms of
compressed tar(1) distributions. Those that end in .Z are compressed
with UNIX compress(1); those that end in .gz are compressed with GNU
gzip(1). The latter is the preferred form because the file is smaller
and quicker to transfer.

("sendmail", "tar", ".Z", "compress", ".gz", and "gzip" should be in
italics.)

para. 3, line 2, after "PGP signature file" added the following footnote:

Further information about how to use PGP can be found in
PGP: Pretty Good Privacy, by Simon Garfinkel, O'Reilly & Associates,
http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/pgp/.

(booktitle and URL should be in italics.)

para. 3, line 3: changed "pre-V8.6 distribution" to "pre-V8.5 and
earlier distribution"

and certify that key with his PGP fingerprint:

with this new text (here's the troff):

For V8.6 and above, you down-load a special fIsigning keyfR from
fIwww.sendmail.orgfR, instead of Eric's key. The fingerprint for the
fIsigning keyfR is:

replaced code block 2 with

pgpk -a /tmp/eric.asc <- for pgp version 5.x

("<- for pgp version 2.x" and "<- for pgp version 5.x" are line
notations and should be in italics.)

replaced code block 3 with

F9 32 40 A1 3B 3A B6 DE B2 98 6A 70 AF 54 9D 26 <- 1998

("<- 1997" and "<- 1998" are line notations and should be in italics.)

replaced code block 4 with

C0 28 E6 7B 13 5B 29 02 6F 7E 43 3A 48 4F 45 29 <- V8.5 and earlier

("<- V8.5 and earlier" is a line notation and should be in italics.)

replaced code block 5 with

pgp signature-file <- for pgp version 2.x
pgpv signature-file here <- for pgp version 5.x

("signature-file" and "signature-file here" are replaceables and should
be in constant-width italics.
"<- for pgp version 2.x" and "<- for pgp version 5.x" are line notations
and should be in italics.)

para. 6, changed to

If the uncompressed tar file is good, pgp(1) will report that the
signature is valid.

deleted code block 6: "Good signature from user..."

sender too" to "The recipient too"

The code snippet in the middle of the page did read:

define(`MASQUERADE_AS', `your.hub.domain')
FEATURE(`allmasquerade')

Now reads:

MASQUERADE_AS(`your.hub.domain')
FEATURE(`allmasquerade')

The list of domains is added to the class $=B, and the members of that
class are looked up in place of those in $=w.

to:

The list of domains is added to the class $=B. Only hosts in those
domains are allowed to list your site as the best MX record for use
with this feature.

"sex.bogus.site.com" twice

paragraph above the one one that begins "You declare ....":

Also note that virtual domains in the key (such as
f(CW@fictional.comfR) must be added to class f(CWwfR
in order for them to be recognized as local.

The m4 line also causes special rules to be added; consequently, just
modifiying the cf file will not work.

("m4", "cf", and "not" are in italics.)

"rule set 6 (with $>6) before returning." to "rule set 96 (with
f(CW$>96fR) before returning."

$=W is set aside to hold lists of locally connected hosts that will
later be declared with site." into "The class $=W is set aside to hold
lists of hosts that appear locally connected. This class is also used
with the SITE macro." with "$=W" in CW font

Deleted phrase:

, nor does it expect f(CWRealHostAddrfR
to be s-1NULLs0.

If nothing is specified ... becomes Y.

With this new paragraph (here's the troff):

If nothing is specified, the class becomes f(CWYfR. If class
f(CWUfR is specified in the third parameter, the second parameter is
assumed to be the s-1UUCPs0 name of the local site, rather than the
name of a remote site. In this latter case, the specified local name
has a s-1.UUCPs0 appended, and the result is added to class
f(CW$=wfR.

now reads:

"If TCPWRAPPERS is defined.."

while read QF

with

for QF in `find ${QUEUE} -type f -name "qf*" -print`

"The '-oTimeout.queuereturn=99d' causes . . . "

It now reads:

-OTimeout.queuereturn=99d

to "23.9.10"

"greater than 0"

Added this new sentence just before the last:

If the f(CWNfR is absent, but an f(CWSfR, f(CWFfR, or f(CWDfR
is present, s-1DSNs0 information will not be propagated.

The f(CIuserfR specifies either final delivery to a user's mail

Inserted "effective" in two places in:

To form:

In both instances, the real s-1GIDs0 and s-1UIDs0 remain
that of the receiving user --that is, the f(CWF=SfR flag
acts like the s-1UNIXs0 fIsuidfR and fIsgidfR bits.

Changed:

Deleted the 2 sentences:

Ordinarily, s-1SMTPs0 would interpret the first
of those lines as the end of the mail message.
To prevent that misinterpretation,
it is necessary to double the leading dot
in transmission

following table 34-10:

The fIsendmailfR program checks its connection cache
just before opening up a new connection to a host. If the
cache contains an entry for that host, fIsendmailfR
sends an s-1SMTP RSETs0 command to the host to make sure
the connection is still active. If the s-1SMTP RSETs0
succeeds, the connection is re-used. If the s-1SMTP
RSETs0 times out (see (sc#sOPTION_Timeout_rset, the
f(CWTimeout.rsetfR option), or fails, or if the host was
not in the cache, an new connection is made.

following after "get duplicate deliveries":

Note that the F=M flag on local delivery will try as many recipients
as possible before checkpointing, even if that number is greater than
the value of this CheckpointInterval option.

with "F=M" and "CheckpointInterval" in CW font

Note that compiling with s-1MIME8TO1=1s0
(see (sc#sCOMPILE_MIME8TO7) causes s-1ESMTPs0

changed "Version 7 and above configuration files defer the decision"
