Severity: critical
When migrating a server from woody to sarge, the following error is =
displayed on Sendmail's startup if there was mail queued at the time of =
upgrade. =20
Jun 3 17:04:57 mailtest1 sendmail[25561]: j4VDWurI013546: SYSERR(root): =

Jun 3 17:04:57 mailtest1 sendmail[25561]: j4VDWurI013546: Losing =
./qfj4VDWurI013546: unrecognized line
Bug marked as critical, as the entire queue will be marked as lost, and =
not delivered. This can be thousands of messages on high volume =
servers. =20
The problem was not discovered earlier when upgrading test boxes, as =
they had no queued mail at time of upgrade. =20
Hunting through the code, it seems that a QF file V7 Y and G options are =
no longer supported. These are not truly important to message queueing, =
and should be ignored instead of effectively losing the mail queue. =20
The apparent source of the problem, sendmail/queue.c:
4444 #if _FFR_QUEUEDELAY
4445 case 'G':
4446 case 'Y':
4447
4448 /*
4449 ** Maintain backward compatibility for
4450 ** users who defined _FFR_QUEUEDELAY in
4451 ** previous releases. Remove this
4452 ** code in 8.14 or 8.15.
4453 */
4454
4455 if (qfver =3D=3D 5 || qfver =3D=3D 7)
4456 break;
4457
4458 /* If not qfver 5 or 7, then 'G' or 'Y' =

4459 /* FALLTHROUGH */
4460 #endif /* _FFR_QUEUEDELAY */
4461
4462 default:
4463 syserr("readqf: %s: line %d: bad line =
\"%s\"",
4464 qf, LineNumber, =
shortenstring(bp, MAXSHORTSTR));
4465 err =3D "unrecognized line";
4466 goto fail;
Two potential fixes:
1) patch sendmail/queue.c:

2) Add something to the postinstall script to remove the Y and G lines =
from QF files, like:
for file in /var/spool/mqueue*/[Qq]f*; do echo -n "file: $file: "; grep =
-v ^[GY] $file > /tmp/file; mv /tmp/file $file; echo "done."; done
