Timmy's SMTPD

feedback would be good!
This program is split up and basically handles queue
and data files. The daemon (make d) will sit on
a port and receive smtp; from that it will put
queue and data files into certain directories.
The sender (make s) will grab queue and data
files from your configured directories and then send
them to places you have configured. The receiver
(make r) will take queue and data files and will
put them in users' mailboxes by piping them to
procmail or other maildropping programs that you can
configure.
This program would be for people that want to
have more control over what happens to their mail.

After almost a year, I am happy to announce
a new release of GNU indent.
The tar file can be downloaded from
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/indent/
Rpms are available from my homepage at
http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/indent/
NEWS
Release notes for GNU indent version 2.2.6, November 2000
* New option --break-function-decl-args (-bfda).
This causes each argument of a function declaration to be put on
a seperate line, aligned with the opening parathesis of the function.
For example,
void
udi_pio_trans(udi_pio_trans_call_t *callback,
udi_cb_t *gcb,
udi_pio_handle_t handle,
udi_buf_t *buf,
void *mem_ptr)
* The option -diN does not any longer indent procedure names
(when also using -npsl). Nested function are still indented however.
* New options --no-space-after-for (-nsaf), --no-space-after-if (-nsai)
and --no-space-after-while (-nsaw) to remove the space directly following
`for', `if' and `while' respectively.
* Nested functions (a gcc extension) were indented wrong.
* --blank-lines-after-declarations (-bad) caused blank lines to be
inserted in the middle of C-style comments when a multiple line
comment was used after a declaration.
* The option --dont-line-up-parentheses (-nlp) was broken, sometimes
causing long lines that were broken twice or more being indented
too little.
* Renamed long option --blank-lines-after-block-comments to
--blank-lines-before-block-comments. This was a very old bug.
The equivalent short option is still -bbb.
Idem for --no-blank-lines-after-block-comments.
* New option --cuddle-do-while (-cdw).
This causes the `while' in a do-while loop to cuddle up to the
immediately preceding `}'. For example,
do {
x--;
} while (x);
* New option --no-tabs (-nut) causes indent to replace all TABS with
the appropriate space in the output. Unlike using --tab-size 1,
this has no influence on the column where comments start.
* --line-comments-indentationN/-dN now works again.
* Sometimes an extra blank line was inserted between two parts of a
long, broken line. This should be fixed now.
* The priority of breaking lines at a point that doesn't help, is now
set at minus infinity. The means that instead of getting
if (
extremely_long.
struct_element)
because breaking after a '.' has a very low priority, you'll now get
if (extremely_long.
struct_element)
* The option --format-comments (-fca) was broken, it did not remove leading
'*' in comments like: "/* this , this now becomes: "/* this <- one */".
* <- one */" instead of "/* this * <- one */".
Adjacent spaces are now always eaten and not only when they are at the
start of a line: "/* a b. c d */" becomes now "/* a b. c d */".
Two spaces are left after a dot.
* A typo in indent.c caused types inside a sizeof() to be marked as a
declaration. This caused a blank line to be put after them in some
cases (when using the --blank-lines-after-declarations (-bad)).
* A backslash-newline, outside a macro definition or string, was treated
as two seperate characters, breaking compilation when the newline was
repositioned. Now the backslash is simply eaten.

Re-examined all URL-encoding and URL-decoding issues (small cache change).
Ensure that the canonical form of the URL is used throughout.
Changed the URLs in the indexes for monitor, delete & refresh.
Documentation
Re-written the README.CONF file with new layout and more information.
Added three more questions to the FAQ and updated several others.
Configuration File
Allow many of the configuration file options be selectable on a URL by URL basis.
Move some configuration file options around and create some new sections.
Allow purge ages to be specified in larger units (weeks, months, years).
Allow re-request times to be specified in larger units (minutes, hours, days).
New Configuration Options
Add the ability to demoronise HTML (replace bogus characters with real ones).
Add the ability to remove meta refresh tags that redirect browsers.
Added the option to convert redirections to DontGet pages to errors.
Allow the HTML modifications to happen to pages viewed when online.

New Features
Remove the index of the latest pages (was slow on big caches).
Add an index of the pages that were in the outgoing directory last time.
Change the don't cache option so that pages are not requested when offline.
Allow password protected URLs to be deleted.
Aliased pages now use a redirect rather than re-writing the URL.
Make it safe to have symlinks in the cache.
Searching
Changed the ht://Dig search URLs in WWWOFFLE from /htdig/* to /search/htdig/*.
Allow the use of UdmSearch instead of ht://Dig.
Contrib
Improved the audit-usage.pl script to show cache hit/miss status for requests.
