It looks almost exactly like what I've been saying for ages we should have in the base instead of a heavyweight MTA. "It accepts mails from locally installed Mail User Agents (MUA) and delivers the mails either locally or to a remote destination. Remote delivery includes several features like TLS/SSL support and SMTP authentication." On the subject of host/dig/nslookup. We had an old 'host' and 'nslookup' that were replaced with bind's heavyweight versions. Perhaps those could be revived and refreshed? The functionality of 'host' that I care about is: peter_at_overcee[10:19AM]~-1177> host www.yahoo.com www.yahoo.com is an alias for www.wa1.b.yahoo.com. www.wa1.b.yahoo.com is an alias for www-real.wa1.b.yahoo.com. www-real.wa1.b.yahoo.com has address 209.131.36.158 peter_at_overcee[10:31AM]~-1178> host yahoo.com yahoo.com has address 209.191.93.53 yahoo.com has address 69.147.114.224 yahoo.com has address 209.131.36.159 yahoo.com mail is handled by 1 g.mx.mail.yahoo.com. yahoo.com mail is handled by 1 a.mx.mail.yahoo.com. yahoo.com mail is handled by 1 b.mx.mail.yahoo.com. yahoo.com mail is handled by 1 c.mx.mail.yahoo.com. yahoo.com mail is handled by 1 d.mx.mail.yahoo.com. yahoo.com mail is handled by 1 e.mx.mail.yahoo.com. yahoo.com mail is handled by 1 f.mx.mail.yahoo.com. peter_at_overcee[10:31AM]~-1179> host 209.131.36.158 158.36.131.209.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer f1.www.vip.sp1.yahoo.com. In other words, it's going to have to talk to the res_* functions in libc again instead of bind's replacement. -- Peter Wemm - peter_at_wemm.org; peter_at_FreeBSD.org; peter_at_yahoo-inc.com; KI6FJV "All of this is for nothing if we don't go to the stars" - JMS/B5 "If Java had true garbage collection, most programs would delete themselves upon execution." -- Robert SewellReceived on Tue Sep 22 2009 - 15:55:41 UTC
