10 0.2.22
|
|
meillo@41
|
11
|
|
meillo@41
|
12 - Hello, I'm meillo, the new maintainer and developer of masqmail. Oku
|
|
meillo@42
|
13 handed masqmail over to me, as he wasn't active anymore.
|
|
meillo@41
|
14
|
|
meillo@41
|
15 - This release includes various fixes for problems in 0.2.21, mainly
|
|
meillo@41
|
16 based on bugs from Debian.
|
|
meillo@41
|
17
|
|
meillo@41
|
18 - Distribution specific data has been excluded from the distribution,
|
|
meillo@41
|
19 but is separately available on the website.
|
|
meillo@41
|
20
|
|
meillo@41
|
21 - Man pages will not be generated from xml sources in future, but the
|
|
meillo@41
|
22 nroff sources will be maintained directly.
|
|
meillo@41
|
23
|
|
meillo@41
|
24 - The default online status file is now
|
|
meillo@41
|
25 /var/run/masqmail/masqmail-route, as it already was in the Debian
|
|
meillo@41
|
26 package.
|
|
meillo@41
|
27
|
|
meillo@41
|
28 0.2.21
|
|
meillo@41
|
29
|
|
meillo@41
|
30 - Retrospective: Probably, this version was not published in the usual
|
|
meillo@41
|
31 way by oku. I (meillo) grabbed it from Debian's package archive. It does
|
|
meillo@41
|
32 not introduce new functions but fixes security problems, such as writing
|
|
meillo@41
|
33 log files as user `mail'. It also changes the location for pid files;
|
|
meillo@41
|
34 they are stored in /var/run/masqmail/ now.
|
|
meillo@0
|
35
|
|
meillo@0
|
36 0.2.18
|
|
meillo@0
|
37
|
|
meillo@0
|
38 - delivery warnings and failures are now also implermented if the
|
|
meillo@0
|
39 connection to a server fails. Because masqmail is designed for dialup
|
|
meillo@0
|
40 networks, a connection failure will merely generate a warning by default.
|
|
meillo@0
|
41 If you deliver in a local network and use the default local_net route,
|
|
meillo@0
|
42 this would generte a failure. You can change this behaviour by setting
|
|
meillo@41
|
43 'connect_error_fail' to either true or false in the route configurations.
|
|
meillo@0
|
44
|
|
meillo@0
|
45 0.2.17
|
|
meillo@0
|
46
|
|
meillo@0
|
47 - delivery warnings have been finally implemented: if delivery of a mail
|
|
meillo@0
|
48 fails temporarily, warning mail will be generated, informing the sender
|
|
meillo@0
|
49 of the problem. After some time, the mail will be handled as failing
|
|
meillo@0
|
50 permanently, and be bounced. New options: 'warn_intervals',
|
|
meillo@0
|
51 'max_defer_time' and 'warnmsg_file'.
|
|
meillo@0
|
52
|
|
meillo@0
|
53 - the message templates for failures and warnings will now be installed
|
|
meillo@0
|
54 into /usr/share/masqmail/tpl/, and no longer to /etc/masqmail/tpl/. The
|
|
meillo@0
|
55 default for the search path (options 'errmsg_file' and 'warnmsg_file'
|
|
meillo@0
|
56 has been changed accordingly.
|
|
meillo@0
|
57
|
|
meillo@0
|
58 - new option 'last_route'. See man 5 masqmail.route.
|
|
meillo@0
|
59
|
|
meillo@0
|
60 0.2.12
|
|
meillo@0
|
61 two new options have been added:
|
|
meillo@0
|
62 - do_pipelining will be used only in broken mail setups. Actually, I
|
|
meillo@0
|
63 implemented it only to test such a setup.
|
|
meillo@0
|
64
|
|
meillo@0
|
65 - helo_name for routes sets the helo_name. This may be useful for
|
|
meillo@0
|
66 eg. ssh tunneling, or if do_correcthelo does not work, because you are
|
|
meillo@0
|
67 behind a firewall.
|
|
meillo@0
|
68
|
|
meillo@0
|
69 - the old 'remote_port' option should not be used any more. Set the
|
|
meillo@0
|
70 port with mail_host="foo.bar.com:1234" in the route file instead.
|
|
meillo@0
|
71
|
|
meillo@0
|
72 0.2.11
|
|
meillo@0
|
73
|
|
meillo@0
|
74 - two new options have been added: do_save_envelope_to for the main
|
|
meillo@0
|
75 configuration and map_h_mail_followup_to_addresses for the route
|
|
meillo@0
|
76 files. See the man pages on purpose and usage.
|
|
meillo@0
|
77
|
|
meillo@0
|
78 - the route files can now be mode 0400, owned by root. Previous
|
|
meillo@0
|
79 versions had problems when sendmail was called directly by a
|
|
meillo@0
|
80 non-priviledged user, because the route files could not be read.
|
|
meillo@0
|
81
|
|
meillo@0
|
82 0.2.10
|
|
meillo@0
|
83
|
|
meillo@0
|
84 - this version should work on FreeBSD. At least I care now if it does not.
|
|
meillo@0
|
85
|
|
meillo@0
|
86 - masqmail now writes pid files to /var/run/, one for the smtp/queue
|
|
meillo@0
|
87 daemon and one for the get daemon. So you now know whom to kill ;-)
|
|
meillo@0
|
88
|
|
meillo@0
|
89 - much effort has been put into the Debian package, which now uses debconf.
|
|
meillo@0
|
90
|
|
meillo@0
|
91 0.2.7
|
|
meillo@0
|
92
|
|
meillo@0
|
93 - sorry for my reluctany in the last months...
|
|
meillo@0
|
94 - my email address is oku@masqmail.cx. I hope that I keep this for the rest
|
|
meillo@0
|
95 of my life...
|
|
meillo@0
|
96
|
|
meillo@0
|
97 0.2.6
|
|
meillo@0
|
98
|
|
meillo@0
|
99 - you can configure the prefered local delivery mechanism for each user. See
|
|
meillo@0
|
100 man page masqmail.conf (5), options mbox_default, mbox_users, mda_users and
|
|
meillo@0
|
101 maildir_users. BIT FAT NOTE: if you used an mda, set mbox_default = "mda"
|
|
meillo@0
|
102 (or use the mda_users option). Just setting mda is not enough any more.
|
|
meillo@0
|
103
|
|
meillo@0
|
104 - there are the allowed_return_paths and not_allowed_return_paths for the
|
|
meillo@0
|
105 route configurations, this enables better checking for return path addresses
|
|
meillo@0
|
106 than allowed_mail_locals. You can also use this to enable or disable messages
|
|
meillo@0
|
107 from null sender addresses (<>) using "<>".
|
|
meillo@0
|
108 note: this option has been there for quite a time... I just forgot to document it.
|
|
meillo@0
|
109
|
|
meillo@0
|
110 0.2.5
|
|
meillo@0
|
111
|
|
meillo@0
|
112 - simple relay checking: if you set do_relay=false in masqmail.conf, users
|
|
meillo@0
|
113 with a return path that is not local will get a 550 reply if they try to
|
|
meillo@0
|
114 deliver to a not local address. This is for users to force them to have a
|
|
meillo@0
|
115 proper configuration. It is _not_ to prevent spammers from using your MTA
|
|
meillo@0
|
116 as a relay, it can be easily forged! masqmail is not designed to be an always
|
|
meillo@0
|
117 accessible MTA for an internet site.
|
|
meillo@0
|
118
|
|
meillo@0
|
119 - added Maildir support. To use it, add --enable-maildir as ./configure
|
|
meillo@0
|
120 optiom. Currently, if enabled, all local deliveries are to Maildir
|
|
meillo@0
|
121 (in ~user/Maildir), and none to mailbox. This is preliminary, future versions
|
|
meillo@0
|
122 will be configurable (probably together with mda delivery).
|
|
meillo@0
|
123
|
|
meillo@0
|
124 0.2.4
|
|
meillo@0
|
125
|
|
meillo@0
|
126 - added -v option, this logs to stdout, so you see what happens when
|
|
meillo@0
|
127 calling masqmail from command line. This is not yet finished, and only
|
|
meillo@0
|
128 for fetching mails completed.
|
|
meillo@0
|
129
|
|
meillo@0
|
130 0.2.3
|
|
meillo@0
|
131
|
|
meillo@0
|
132 - new option lock_dir where locks will be put to. Defaults to the spool
|
|
meillo@0
|
133 dir with '/lock/' appended (if spool_dir is /var/spool/masqmail/, lock_dir
|
|
meillo@0
|
134 is /var/spool/masqmail/lock/).
|
|
meillo@0
|
135
|
|
meillo@0
|
136 - You can use the 'do_uidl_dele' option more reliably. The uidl list
|
|
meillo@0
|
137 will be written immediately after a message was fetched, so if you use the
|
|
meillo@0
|
138 do_uidl and do_uidl_dele option you can safely interrupt masqmail when it is
|
|
meillo@0
|
139 getting mail via pop3, and do not get the message again next time.
|
|
meillo@0
|
140
|
|
meillo@0
|
141 - there are a lot of new options for ./configure to customize masqmail
|
|
meillo@0
|
142 to your needs. See INSTALL.
|
|
meillo@0
|
143
|
|
meillo@0
|
144 - Uli Funcke sent a patch with the new options 'local_addresses' and
|
|
meillo@0
|
145 'not_local_addresses' for masqmail.conf. With these, you can declare single
|
|
meillo@0
|
146 email addresses as local, though they normally are not, and vice versa,
|
|
meillo@0
|
147 declare addresses as not local though normally they are (determined with
|
|
meillo@0
|
148 local_hosts). These options are not yet documented.
|
|
meillo@0
|
149
|
|
meillo@0
|
150 0.2.2
|
|
meillo@0
|
151 - with -go5m you can now run a get daemon, the command 'masqmail -go5m' will fetch
|
|
meillo@0
|
152 mail every five minutes, using the detected online configuration.
|
|
meillo@0
|
153
|
|
meillo@0
|
154 0.2.1
|
|
meillo@0
|
155
|
|
meillo@0
|
156 - there is a new option for the main conf: online_gets. Using this option,
|
|
meillo@0
|
157 you can retrieve mail with just calling masqmail -go, masqmail will detect
|
|
meillo@41
|
158 whether it is online (similar to connect_routes (which is now called
|
|
meillo@0
|
159 online_routes)).
|
|
meillo@0
|
160
|
|
meillo@0
|
161 0.2.0
|
|
meillo@0
|
162
|
|
meillo@0
|
163 This is the first release of he development branch of masqmail
|
|
meillo@0
|
164
|
|
meillo@0
|
165 - the default configuration is now /etc/masqmail/masqmail.conf
|
|
meillo@0
|
166 (as it already was for the debian package). The --with-conffile
|
|
meillo@0
|
167 option for configure has been replaced by the --with-confdir option.
|
|
meillo@0
|
168
|
|
meillo@0
|
169 - added delivery failure notices:
|
|
meillo@0
|
170 o you can customize your own delivery failure report, its
|
|
meillo@0
|
171 default location is /etc/masqmail/tpl/failmsg.tpl
|
|
meillo@0
|
172 o if a delivery via a route fails permanently (the server replied with a 5xx status)
|
|
meillo@0
|
173 the message will be bounced, if it is bounced, no further delivery will be attempted.
|
|
meillo@0
|
174 This is different to previous versions, where failed messages were kept in the queue until
|
|
meillo@0
|
175 it was finally delivered, deleted or forever.
|
|
meillo@0
|
176
|
|
meillo@0
|
177 - there is a new online detection method: pipe. This allows you more
|
|
meillo@0
|
178 flexibility to detect the current online status, eg. the DHCP status on notebooks.
|
|
meillo@0
|
179
|
|
meillo@0
|
180 This method will once replace the 'mserver' option,
|
|
meillo@0
|
181 you can already use the program mservdetect to use it:
|
|
meillo@0
|
182
|
|
meillo@0
|
183 online_method=pipe
|
|
meillo@0
|
184 online_pipe="/usr/bin/mservdetect localhost 222"
|
|
meillo@0
|
185
|
|
meillo@0
|
186 instead of
|
|
meillo@0
|
187
|
|
meillo@41
|
188 online_detect=mserver
|
|
meillo@0
|
189 mserver_iface="localhost:222"
|
|
meillo@0
|
190
|
|
meillo@0
|
191 0.1.9
|
|
meillo@0
|
192
|
|
meillo@0
|
193 - you can use pipes in routes to implement gateways to uucp, fax, sms etc.
|
|
meillo@0
|
194 The setup is similar to mda transport. See man pages.
|
|
meillo@0
|
195
|
|
meillo@0
|
196 - for each connection (connect_routes), you can now give a list of
|
|
meillo@0
|
197 route files, which will be used in the order given. You can use the
|
|
meillo@0
|
198 filter rules (allowed_* and not_allowed_* rules) within each route.
|
|
meillo@0
|
199
|
|
meillo@0
|
200 0.1.8
|
|
meillo@0
|
201
|
|
meillo@0
|
202 - for pop retrieval and smtp sending you can use a wrapper for eg. ssl
|
|
meillo@0
|
203 tunneling. See man pages.
|
|
meillo@0
|
204
|
|
meillo@0
|
205 - a user can delete his mail from the spool with -Mrm if received
|
|
meillo@0
|
206 locally, and if you configure with --enable-ident and set
|
|
meillo@0
|
207 ident_trusted_nets also if received via smtp.
|
|
meillo@0
|
208
|
|
meillo@0
|
209 - a backslash now works to escape characters in the configuration, so
|
|
meillo@0
|
210 you can now use quotes inside quotes. All other characters with a
|
|
meillo@0
|
211 leading backslash will be converted to itself (\a becomes a, \\
|
|
meillo@0
|
212 becomes \).
|
|
meillo@0
|
213
|
|
meillo@0
|
214 - you can now use an mda for local mails. The mda will be called
|
|
meillo@0
|
215 *after* alias expansion. See documentation for more.
|
|
meillo@0
|
216
|
|
meillo@0
|
217 0.1.0
|
|
meillo@0
|
218 - masqmail can now retrieve mail with pop3. See the manual on how to do that.
|
|
meillo@0
|
219 - supports now ESMTP AUTH as a client.
|
|
meillo@0
|
220 - when called with -qo (without a connection name), the online status
|
|
meillo@0
|
221 will be checked with the configured method.
|
|
meillo@0
|
222
|
|
meillo@0
|
223 0.0.10
|
|
meillo@0
|
224 - there is now alias support. Give the location of the alias file (usually /etc/aliases) with eg.
|
|
meillo@0
|
225 alias_file = "/etc/aliases"
|
|
meillo@0
|
226 - delivery to pipes is now possible, but only if it appears in an alias file. Example:
|
|
meillo@0
|
227 pipe: |/usr/bin/command
|
|
meillo@0
|
228 will expand the address pipe to "|/usr/bin/command" which invokes '/usr/bin/command'
|
|
meillo@0
|
229 as the user and group masqmail is running as.
|
|
meillo@0
|
230 - entries starting with '\' in alias files will not be exanded further
|
|
meillo@0
|
231
|
|
meillo@0
|
232 - changed permissions for queue runs again: got to be root, mail or in group trusted.
|
|
meillo@0
|
233
|
|
meillo@0
|
234 - some configuration parameters can be read from files, these are
|
|
meillo@0
|
235 allowed_mail_locals, not_allowed_mail_locals, allowed_rcpt_domains, not_allowed_rcpt_domains,
|
|
meillo@0
|
236 map_return_path_addresses, map_h_from_addresses, map_h_reply_to_addresses
|
|
meillo@0
|
237 any entry in these list beginning with a '/' are regarded as
|
|
meillo@0
|
238 filenames, the content of these will be put at that location. Entries
|
|
meillo@0
|
239 in these files are separated by new lines. Example:
|
|
meillo@0
|
240 in the route file you have:
|
|
meillo@0
|
241 map_h_from_addresses = "/etc/masqmail/hfrom.map"
|
|
meillo@0
|
242 and hfrom.map contains:
|
|
meillo@0
|

|
244 john: John Smith <jsmith@mail.academic.edu>
|

|
247 UPDATE (Jan 2000): The new home location of MasqMail is
|
|
meillo@0
|
248 http://www.innominate.org/~oku/masqmail/, the new email adress of the
|
|
meillo@0
|
249 author is Oliver Kurth <kurth@innominate.de>.
|
|
meillo@0
|
250
|
|
meillo@0
|
251 0.0.9
|
|
meillo@0
|
252 - see ChangeLog.
|
|
meillo@0
|
253
|
|
meillo@0
|
254 NOTE: The home location of MasqMail at
|
|
meillo@0
|
255 http://merlin.uni-sw.gwdg.de/~okurth/masqmail/ is uncertain from the
|
|
meillo@0
|
256 beginning of Nov. 1999! See http://www.freshmeat.net for new
|
|
meillo@0
|
257 announcements. I leave the university and begin a new job on Nov. 1st 1999
|
|
meillo@0
|
258 in Berlin :-).
|
|
meillo@0
|
259
|
|
meillo@0
|
260 0.0.8:
|
|
meillo@0
|
261 - there is now a FAQ page. See docs/faq.html.
|
|
meillo@0
|
262 - added allowed_rcpt_domains option for routes.
|
|
meillo@0
|
263 - added allowed_mail_locals and not_allowed_mail_locals options for routes.
|
|
meillo@0
|
264 - mailq now gives information about the time mails spent in the queue,
|
|
meillo@0
|
265 the message size and the received host.
