of the sendmail configuration files, the date of release, and a
summary of the changes in that release.
8.14.1/8.14.1 2007/04/03
Even though a milter rejects a recipient the MTA will still keep
it in its list of recipients and deliver to it if the
transaction is accepted. This is a regression introduced
in 8.14.0 due to the change for SMFIP_RCPT_REJ. Bug
found by Andy Fiddaman.
The new DaemonPortOptions which begin with a lower case character
could not be set in 8.14.0.
If a server shut down the connection in response to a STARTTLS
command, sendmail would log a misleading error message
due to an internal inconsistency. Problem found by
Werner Wiethege.
Document how some sendmail.cf options change the behavior of mailq.
Noted by Paul Menchini of the North Carolina School of
Science and Mathematics.
