Subject: Patch to vrfy to issue ETRN command for sendmail 8.8
X-Listprocessor-Version: 8.1 -- ListProcessor(tm) by CREN
In working on updating my "Managing Internet Mail, Setting Up and Trouble Shooting sendmail and DNS" seminar for sendmail 8.8, I have been experimenting with the new ETRN command to flush a remote queue for this host. Sendmail 8.8 supports the ETRN command, but gives you no way to execute it on a SMTP client host. To solve this problem I have added a -T flag to Eric Wassenaar's <e07@nikhef.nl> stand alone vrfy command to support the ETRN command. From the changes I made in the vrfy man page: vrfy(1) ETRN MODE If the -T option is specified, the program enters a special ETRN mode. The required parameter is an SMTP server host which the ETRN request will be sent to. If the SMTP server supports the ETRN request defined in RFC 1985, then the ETRN command will be sent with the parameter of the hostname of the local host. If an optional domain parameter is supplied, then this domain name will be sent as the parameter to the ETRN command. Currently sendmail 8.8 supports the ETRN command The patch is available from: ftp://ftp.harker.com/pub/sendmail/vrfy/vrfy.etrn.patch vrfy is available from the same location or: ftp://ftpnikhef.nl/pub/network/vrfy.tar.Z Visit my web page for more information: http://www.harker.com/sendmail/sendmail-ref.html This page also contains HTML versions of the sendmail 8.8 documentation.
