Well, this is 3.2-Stable fresh from Aug 25, thought I've made a RELEASE of
it just to have the fresh installation dist.
Since that time I've made few CVSups but have not seen big changes
to /usr/src/sys and vital binaries...
As I said in my first post (don't know whether you've seen it) I have two
more 3.2-S machines where Qmail works very well.

I believe it won't solve the problem even if I reinstall 3.2-S from my
3.2-R dist, cos I've done this over the existing system before, after
an few times of "make worldinstalls".

I think this should be of interest to FreeBSD community cos this time
only I have noticed the problem next time who knows when this will be
discovered, and maybe it will be next buffer overflow crack.

When I debugged Qmail, I have noticed that after some function sets
the envelope sender in a memory buffer then another doing something
other destroyes this envelope sender to some "????????????viv.ua",
"?????????lo0???" and "???????????ppp0??" or something like this.

If I use 3.1-Stable kernel Qmail work well, when I alter 3.2-Stable
kernel Qmail works soso, the best it can: sets good envelope sender,
delivers and receives mail but fails to bounce correctly, saying
that it can not deliver bounce to "??????acme.com" sender.

I assume there is probably something wrong with FreeBSD, but who knows,
may be this shows some weak side of Qmail.


Best regards,
Yaroslav.
