1.1     ! root        1: (Version 4.1 of 7/25/83)
        !             2: 
        !             3: -- get rid of MAXMAILERS, just allocate them as you go; merge the stats
        !             4:        structure in with the MAILERS structure; change the longs in
        !             5:        said structure into u_longs; print the file in ASCII, lock the
        !             6:        file before reading/printing.
        !             7: 
        !             8: -- clean up sysexits; get rid of EX_BASE, most of sysexits.c is duplicated
        !             9:        in deliver.c
        !            10: 
        !            11: -- mailq; split it out, by default, just # of messages, also add sort
        !            12:        by machine?
        !            13: 
        !            14:  ******        Finish properly implementing SMTP:
        !            15:        - check correct name in HELO exchange (?)
        !            16: 
        !            17:   ***** Add an accounting package.  [acct.c]
        !            18: 
        !            19:   *****        When processing the queue, batch messages on the basis of
        !            20:        receiving host rather than message -- so that if connections
        !            21:        are expensive to complete, we get the most for our money.
        !            22:        Unfortunately, this is a major change, and will probably
        !            23:        wait for the next version.
        !            24: 
        !            25:    ****        Put in some more performance hooks.
        !            26: 
        !            27:     *** Integrate a null name server for future hackers.  [names.c]
        !            28: 
        !            29:     *** Have "Operating System Error" give more info (e.g.,
        !            30:        "cannot fork").  [It really seems like this is ok now -- but
        !            31:        this is an old delivermail gripe -- check it out more?]
        !            32: 
        !            33:      ** Per-mailer timeouts.  Invalidates old .cf files.
        !            34: 
        !            35:      ** Be able to generate a "response" (edit headers, etc.)
        !            36:        given a message to respond to.
        !            37: 
        !            38:       * Have VRFY act as a limited name server (?).
        !            39: 
        !            40:       * Implement SEND and related commands in SMTP.
        !            41: 
        !            42:       * Extend full name matching.  This should actually be done in a
        !            43:        complete name server.  Should the name server be integrated
        !            44:        into sendmail (via a portal?) or should I "assume" that it
        !            45:        has been called by the time I am called?
