After much in-depth debugging of the sendmail 8.6.9 source, I've discovered
that something is broken in the Linux getusershell(3) system call with the
libc distributed in Slackware 2.0. I've had to add:
that something is broken in the Linux getusershell(3) system call with the
libc distributed in Slackware 2.0. I've had to add:
# define HASGETUSERSHELL 0 /* getusershell(3) call is broken */
after #ifdef __linux__ in conf.h to cure the problem.
The symptom is that local addresses will get trashed during the usershellok()
calls in recipient() and include() in the file recipient.c, causing a variety
of nasty consequences.
