| 
| Hello & Welcome to the IDA* Sendmail Enhancement Kit (rev 1.2.5).
| 
| The Kit includes a set of source code modifications to the BSD 4.3
| sendmail program version 5.59.  The changes will enable sendmail to have
| direct access to dbm(3) files and Sun's Yellow Pages, separate envelope/
| header rewriting rulesets, and multi-token class matches among other
| things.  Various bug fixes and other improvements has also been included.
| 
| As a separate part of the Kit is the IDA Sendmail Master Configuration
| file and a sample setups used at the CIS Dept, U of Linkoping and at
| Rank Xerox EuroPARC.  The configuration file together with the supplied
| data files and utility programs implement such nice features as pathalias
| based systems routing within sendmail, fully !-/@-translating rulesets,
| and generic local user addresses and again much more.  See the "M4
| IDENTIFIERS" section in ida/cf/Sendmail.mc for details and options.
| 
| Finally, there is an accompanying paper on mail addressing issues in
| general and hybrid addresses in particular.  Included in the paper is a
| description of the changes to sendmail and the configuration setup.
| Note however that the paper was written for the original (1.0) revision
| of the Kit and that it therefore may be out of date on some details.  See
| the supplied README and INSTALL files for up-to-date information.
| 
| To unpack the Kit, preferrably first cd to your sendmail source directory
| and then send the rest of this message and the following seven through
| /bin/sh or unshar.  This should create a new "ida" subdirectory with all
| the Kit's files.
| 
| If you are on the ARPA Internet, you may choose to retrieve the Kit
| in compressed tar format from ~ftp/pub1/ida.tar.Z on Arisia.Xerox.COM
| using anonymous ftp.  A compressed executable binary of IDA sendmail for
| Sun-3/SunOS 3.x is also available as ~ftp/pub1/ida-sendmail-sun3.Z.
| 
| Enjoy!
