Pleeease do not throw this superb package away, SOOO good for sending mail to a "true" mail address from an internal, offline server with, in my case, errors that I want to know ASAP :P

Been using it A LOT for years like back into the 90's and since but it seems it's going away more and more as you now need to add a 'separate' package to add it that usually was a normal package long time ago. Now you have to use a program that needs an external TRUE mail address to be able to send an email to, in my case, to myself.

LUV IT 💓 💓

@boudekerk, @amish, you're both right :)

@pa314159 As @amish says, what I'm looking for is a compile time flag.

I use my own MC/CF, and have been doing for long enough (or am old enough if you will) to own a physical copy of the book you reference ;-)

@pa314159 He is asking to add a compile time flag in site.config.m4 and not mc file. Both are not same.

@boudekerk, if I'm allowed to make a suggestion, there's no need to patch anything, it's pretty easy to use your own MC (and your own CF), you can start it from here: https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/sendmail-3rd-edition/1565928393/ch04s02.html

Regarding the regex map support, I'm surprised there's not more demand for it. A few anti-spam features like the badmx I already listed, but also dnsbl (dns based blacklists) depend on it.

Anyway, I'll keep patching it for myself.

Thank you for adding the architecture and of course, maintaining this package.

@boudekerk - Added aarch64. But not sure about other feature, that is not enabled by default and not many demanding it.

boudekerk commented on 2024-07-07 14:42 (UTC)

And another request, would you mind adding aarch64 to the architectures in the pkgbuild?

It builds and works fine on that architecture.

boudekerk commented on 2024-07-07 14:41 (UTC)

Sorry, I somehow missed your last comment.

It allows for the use of regexes. Some built-in features, like badmx, also require it. That one happens to be my usecase.

My mailservers don't handle large volumes, so I can't say anything about the performance impact, but that would surely be usage dependent. If one doesn't use the features my guess would be that there would be no performance impact from merely having it built in.

amish commented on 2023-08-15 09:21 (UTC)

@boudekerk - please explain what it does? Why is it important to be enabled by default for all? And what are performance impact? And why it is not enabled by default by upstream?

Thank you.
