Package: sendmail Version: 8.14.4-4 Severity: normal Tags: patch Hi,
#define MAXDAEMONS 10 /* max number of ports to listen to */ This is causing failures when trying to start: /etc/mail/sendmail.cf: line 285: too many daemons defined (10 max) I'm running MTA, MSA, and MSASSL daemons on localhost and my primary interface. With the addition of IPv6, this pushes me to 12 combinations of listeners. I suggest raising this seemingly arbitrary limit to much larger. Please see attached patch. Thanks! -Kees -- Kees Cook @debian.org
Description: hard-coded "10" is not enough to listen on both IPv4 and IPv6 with a minimal configuration of MTA, MSA, and MSASSL on both localhost and primary interface (12 daemons). Raise limit to 64.
