>Description:
This is a request to add support for the contrib/cidrexpand script
that comes with sendmail, into /etc/mail/Makefile. The script is
src/contrib/sendmail/contrib/cidrexpand.
We maintain a fairly complex set of rules in /etc/mail/access,
and for numerous reasons, sendmail does not have native support
for CIDR notation within it's hash files. The script in question
addresses this issue. It permits you to use CIDR notation inside
/etc/mail/access and pre-parses the contents, generating all
possible IP combos from that CIDR (while leaving non-CIDR lines
alone), sending the results to stdout.
It would be absolutely *fantastic* to have this as part of the
/etc/mail/Makefile process. It looks to be highly possible.
My recommendation would be to add a new variable to defaults/make.conf
called SENDMAIL_CIDR, which would define if the administrator desired
using "contrib/cidrexpand | makemap" instead of just the normal
makemap process.
