Topic: Delivermail


  
  Delivermail - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The ancestor of sendmail, delivermail used the FTP protocol on the early ARPANET to transmit e-mail to the recipient.
In 1979, when delivermail was first shipped with 4.0BSD and 4.1BSD, the ARPANET was still using NCP as its network protocol.
The new protocol for sending mail was SMTP, and after DNS replaced hosts files, delivermail evolved into sendmail, which is still the most widely used MTA on UNIX systems today.

 Sendmail
(Note the numbering style used: version 8.13.0 has obsoleted both 8.12.9 and 8.9 and their security vulnerabilities, despite their appearing "higher" in ordinary decimal numeration.) A descendant of the original ARPANET delivermail application, sendmail is a remarkably flexible program, supporting many kinds of mail transfer and delivery including the overwhelmingly popular SMTP.
The original version of Sendmail was written by Eric Allman in the early 1980s at UC Berkeley, who had also written delivermail previously.
Delivermail was shipped in 1979 with 4.0 and 4.1 BSD.

 Eric Allman
The openly gay programmer developed sendmail and its precursor delivermail in the late 1970s and early 1980s at Berkeley.
As the UNIX source code was free, the local hackers quickly made many extensions to the AT&T code.
One such extension was delivermail, which in 1981 turned into sendmail.

 "Chapter 8"
Instead of giving all these people account on his system, Allman decided to write a program, called Delivermail, that would forward mail from his system to the network everyone was on.
Delivermail was included in Berkeley's BSD Unix 4.1 release, which meant other people were using it.
Allman enhanced Delivermail to be more robust, and in doing so, he changed its name to Sendmail.

 A Brief History of Mail   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
The ARPANET used NCP as its core network protocol, and was utterly unable to communicate with any of the other packet networks in existence at the time.
Delivermail dealt with ARPANET mail using FTP over NCP, and its configuration was compiled into the program.
The first version of delivermail shipped with 4.0 and 4.1 BSD in 1979.

One of the difficulties of his program was that it needed to be recompiled to run on each of the various servers housing user accounts, making open source code a natural choice.
As the Berkeley network grew, and ARPANet in general grew, DeliverMail became popular with ARPANet research members because it was included in the BSD.
The fact that SendMail, and its predecessor DeliverMail, were included with BSD made it a standard for email that even today is employed by the majority of computer networks.

It was originally written by Eric Allman while he was at the University of California at Berkeley.
The original program, "delivermail", was shipped in 1979 with 4.0 and 4.1 BSD Unix.
As the ARPAnet (the pre-cursor to the modern Internet) was slowly being changed over to TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) from NCP (Network Control Protocol) Eric evolved delivermail into sendmail.

A sudden increase in protocol types, coupled with the anticipation of an explosion in the number of networks, motivated Eric Allman to write delivermail—the precursor to sendmail.
The delivermail program was shipped in 1979 with 4.0 and 4.1 BSD Unix.
Unfortunately, delivermail was not flexible enough to handle the changes in mail-routing requirements that actually occurred.

 BTLB Online - Chapter 25
Quickly, e-mail became a primary method of communication on this network that was linked by a variety of leased line and dialup connections.
Eric wrote Sendmail to interpret the data in any given message, and construct a rational message header that would allow each message to be forwarded to its destination elsewhere on the networks.
This was a much more desirable result than delivermail's practice of rejecting messages with malformed headers.
