I upgraded to the new smail, and got the message "unexpected end of attribute
in /etc/smail/config" when sending messages. This completely eliminated the
ability to send or receive messages. I downgraded to the stable version,
force-reconfigured, and have things running again.
Has anyone else seen this? here is the offending config file:
# This is the main Smail configuration file.
# Debian Config Version 2
# It was originally generated by `smailconfig', part of the Smail package
# distributed with Debian, but it may edited by the mail system administrator.
# It was originally generated by smailconfig at Fri Jan 9 10:48:21 CST 1998
# Please modify the above line, if you change this file by hand.
# See smail-config (5) for details of the things that can be configured here.

-smtp_remote_allow
#WARNING: You will have to add a correct local definition for
# smtp_remote_allow if you have many local networks, or unset it
# if you wish to disable this feature.
#WARNING: The current implementation of this feature blocks
# relay from incoming SMTP to *any* outgoing transport. This
# means that even UUCP gateways require explicit permission if
# this feature is enabled. It is hoped that finer tuning will be
# possible in the next beta release.
-smtp_hello_verify
# This flag tells smail to verify the hostnames given in
# HELO or EHLO SMTP commands.
-smtp_hello_verify_literal
# A colon-separated list of host IP patterns that are
# allowed to deliver mail even though they have broken
# DNS or give incorrect or invalid HELO or EHLO SMTP
# greetings.
-smtp_hello_broken_allow

# take a look at the man page, esp. smail-config.
