1.1     ! root        1: (Version 4.1 of 7/25/83)
        !             2: 
        !             3:  ******        Finish properly implementing SMTP:
        !             4:        - check correct name in HELO exchange (?)
        !             5: 
        !             6:   ***** Add an accounting package.  [acct.c]
        !             7: 
        !             8:   *****        When processing the queue, batch messages on the basis of
        !             9:        receiving host rather than message -- so that if connections
        !            10:        are expensive to complete, we get the most for our money.
        !            11:        Unfortunately, this is a major change, and will probably
        !            12:        wait for the next version.
        !            13: 
        !            14:    ****        Put in some more performance hooks.
        !            15: 
        !            16:     *** Integrate a null name server for future hackers.  [names.c]
        !            17: 
        !            18:     *** Have "Operating System Error" give more info (e.g.,
        !            19:        "cannot fork").  [It really seems like this is ok now -- but
        !            20:        this is an old delivermail gripe -- check it out more?]
        !            21: 
        !            22:      ** Per-mailer timeouts.  Invalidates old .cf files.
        !            23: 
        !            24:      ** Be able to generate a "response" (edit headers, etc.)
        !            25:        given a message to respond to.
        !            26: 
        !            27:       * Have VRFY act as a limited name server (?).
        !            28: 
        !            29:       * Implement SEND and related commands in SMTP.
        !            30: 
        !            31:       * Extend full name matching.  This should actually be done in a
        !            32:        complete name server.  Should the name server be integrated
        !            33:        into sendmail (via a portal?) or should I "assume" that it
        !            34:        has been called by the time I am called?
