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?
