8.13.1/8.13.1	2004/07/30
	Using the default AliasFile ldap: specification would cause the
		objectClasses of the LDAP response to be included in the
		alias expansion.  Problem noted by Brenden Conte of
		Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.
	Fix support for a fallback smart host for system where DNS is
		(partially) available. From John Beck of Sun Microsystems.
	Fix SuperSafe=PostMilter behavior when a milter replaces a body
		but the data file is not yet stored on disk because it is
		smaller than the size of the memory buffer.  Problem noted
		by David Russell.
	Fix certificate revocation list support; if a CRL was specified
		but the other side presented a cert that was signed by
		a different (trusted) CA than the one which issued the CRL,
		verification would always fail.  Problem noted by Al Smith.
	Run mailer programs as the RunAsUser when RunAsUser is set and
		the F=S mailer flag is set without a U= mailer equate.
		Problem noted by John Gardiner Myers of Proofpoint.
	${nbadrcpts} was off by one if BadRcptThrottle is zero.
		Patch from Sung-hoon Choi of DreamWiz Inc.
	CONFIG: Emit a warning if FEATURE(`access_db') is used after
		FEATURE(`greet_pause') because then the latter will not
		use the access map.  Note: if no default value is given
		for FEATURE(`greet_pause') then it issues an error if
		FEATURE(`access_db') is not specified before it.
		Problem noted by Alexander Dalloz of University of
		Bielefeld.
	CONFIG: Invoke ruleset Local_greet_pause if FEATURE(`greet_pause')
		is used to give more flexibility for local changes.
	Portability:
		Fix a 64 bit problem in the socket map code.  Problem
			noted by Geoff Adams.
		NetBSD 2.0F has closefrom(3).  Patch from Andrew Brown.
		NetBSD can use sysctl(3) to get the number of CPUs in
			a system.  Patch from Andrew Brown.
		Add a README file in doc/op/ to explain potential
			incompatibilities with various *roff related
			tools.  Problem tracked down by Per Hedeland.
