- Known But Unresolved Bugs:
-
-* In multidrop mode without an applicable localdomain, addresses of the
- form "foo"@bar.com are not parsed correctly, even though they are
- technically RFC822 legal. The general problem is mentioned on the man page.
-
Features To Consider
* Generate bounce messages when delivery is refused. See RFC1891, RFC1894.
-
-* More log levels?
-
* Use the libmd functions for md5 under Free BSD? (Low priority.)
+* Send notification mail on messages skipped due to --limit?
+* More log levels?
Other TO-DO items:
+* Autoconfigure the root-mode lockfile location so Solaris will work.
* Get with Craig Metz to write a draft RFC on RFC1938 support in IMAP.
