This directory contains snapshots of sendmail 8.x source distributions.
Snapshots are similar to alpha versions, e.g., they
- reflect the current state of development,
- may contain features that are changed or removed before a release,
- may not have been subject to rigorous testing.
The version for snapshots has the format
  Major.Minor.Patchlevel.Build
e.g., 8.16.0.21

Please report problems via the usual means (see the README file in
the source code distribution) so they can be resolved before releasing
a new version.

Add-ons for the open source sendmail MTA, including spam and virus
filters and policy management tools, are available from Proofpoint,
Inc.  See http://www.proofpoint.com/ for details.
