7. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

I've worked on sendmail for  many  years, and many employers  have  been remarkably patient about letting me work on a large project that was not part of my official job. This includes  time on the INGRES Project at the University of California at Berkeley, at Britton Lee, and again on the Mammoth and Titan Projects at Berkeley.

Much of the second wave of improvements resulting in version 8.1 should be credited to Bryan Costales of  the International  Computer  Science Institute. As he passed me drafts of his book on sendmail I was inspired to start working  on things again.  Bryan was also available to bounce ideas off of.

Gregory Neil Shapiro of Worcester Polytechnic Institute  has  become  instrumental in all phases of sendmail support and development, and was largely responsible  for getting versions 8.8 and 8.9 out the door.

Many,  many  people  contributed  chunks of code and ideas to sendmail.  It has proven to be a  group  network effort.   Version  8  in  particular was a group project. The following people and organizations made notable contributions:

Claus Assmann

John Beck, Hewlett-Packard & Sun Microsystems

Keith Bostic, CSRG, University of California, Berkeley

Andrew Cheng, Sun Microsystems

Michael J. Corrigan, University of California, San Diego

I apologize for anyone I have omitted, misspelled, misattributed, or otherwise missed.  At this point, I  suspect that at least a hundred people have contributed code, and many more have contributed ideas, comments, and  encouragement.  I've tried to list them in the RELEASE_NOTES in the distribution directory. I appreciate their contribution as well.

Special thanks are reserved for Michael Corrigan and Christophe Wolfhugel, who besides being wonderful  guinea pigs  and contributors have also consented to be added to the ``sendmail@Sendmail.ORG'' list and, by answering  the bulk of the questions sent to that list, have freed me up to do other work.
