This document may be freely distributed for non-profit purposes (including, but not limited to: posting to mailing lists, Usenet newsgroups, and world-wide-web pages; inclusion on CD-ROM or other distribution media; and insertion into text retrieval systems), so long as it is the latest version available at the time, all parts are distributed together, and it is kept completely intact without editing, changes, deletions, or additions. Non-profit redistribution in accordance with these guidelines does not require contact with or approval from the copyright holder.

Redistribution of this document for profit without express prior permission is not allowed. At the very least, expect to provide the copyright holder a free copy of the product (exactly as it would be sold to customers, all distribution media intact), or a percentage of the gross revenue from said product and sufficient proof that the integrity and completeness requirements set for non-profit distribution will be met.

In the event that the copyright holder discovers a redistributed version that is not in compliance with the above requirements, he will make a good-faith effort to get it corrected or removed, and failing that, at least note its deprecated status in a new version. Legal action will likely be taken against redistribution for profit that is not in compliance with the above requirements.

FAQ: Thanks!

Special thanks to:

• Eric Allman: The core of the material here comes from his FAQ for version 8.6.9 sendmail. I couldn't even have gotten started were it not for him. And if he hadn't written sendmail, there obviously wouldn't even be a FAQ. Heck, there might not even be an Internet.
• Paul Southworth: Provides FAQ posting services, useful comments on various sections, and the mailclient-faq. I couldn't have kept doing this were it not for his help.
• Ed Ravin: Virtually all the material regarding the use of sendmail on AIX is his, and most of it has been carried over verbatim.
