- Fixed another host name bug causing compilation failures on systems
  without "domainname" in struct utsname.

  name and address from the command line properly.

- Modified the CLI library to behave more like the standard getopt
  library.

- Added some notes to the nullmailer-send manual page explaining how
  messages are delivered.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  comply with RFC822.

- Several minor updates to the libraries to bring them up to date.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes in version 0.38

- Fixed bug in nullmailer-send that caused it to refuse to send mail
  when the optional "pausetime" configuration file did not exist.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes in version 0.37

- Fixed bug in address parser that caused strings like "<a@b.c>"
  (without a leading comment) to fail.

- Make nullmailer-send rescan the mail queue each time it wakes up,
  rather than only if the timestamp changes to avoids race conditions.

- Make nullmailer-send reload its config files ("remotes" and
  "pausetime" each time it scans the queue).

- Fixed top-level install-root target to run chmod/chown on the right
  path to nullmailer-queue.

- Added a configure test for libinet, libsocket, and libxnet libraries
  for systems that have their networking code separate from the main C
  library (such as Solaris).

Changes in version 0.36

- Imported generic CLI library, to avoid the use of getopt on systems
  that don't have one.

  the protocol name.

- nullmailer-send will now only rescan the mail queue if its timestamp
  has changed since the last scan.

- Fixed an observed problem with empty domain names by using uname(2)
  instead of domainname and hostname.

  tokenization before parsing.

  an error on messages with a single blank line following the header,
  even though the message was successfully sent to nullmailer-queue
- in nullmailer-inject, the hostname of the sender is set from the
  defaulthost config file instead of hostname() (note that default is
  set from hostname() if the file does not exist)
- fixed a bug in nullmailer-inject that would cause it to incorrectly
  clear its recipient list when using command-line recipients with a
  "resent" message
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- fixed some bugs in nullmailer-inject caused by incorrect offsets into
  the array of header fields
- many bug fixes to the address parsing framework
- nullmailer-inject now has an option to only print out the message
