fixed correct processing of mails with data lines longer 4096 chars
Mail messages with lines longer than 4096 chars were already read
correctly, i.e. the spool files were correct. This commit fixes the
reading of spool files with long lines.
The old behavior was that the message body was truncated right
before the first line longer 4096 chars. The number comes from
MAX_DATALINE.

| 53 | 10 0.2.23 |
| 11 | |
| 12 - This release fixes a major bug in 0.2.22 which made online detection | |
| 13 by file unusable. Thanks to Juergen Daubert for reporting and providing | |
| 14 a patch. | |
| 15 | |
| 69 | 16 - Masqmail installs to /usr/local by default now. Previously it |
| 17 installed to /usr. To regain the old behavior, add | |
| 18 --prefix=/usr | |
| 19 to the configure call. | |
| 20 | |
| 21 - Man pages get installed again; in 0.2.22 they were not. Again thanks | |
| 22 to Juergen Daubert. Docs and examples do get installed now too. | |
| 23 | |
| 24 - Updated the docs. Moved the man pages from docs/ to man/. Added the | |
| 25 old manual from the old website to the distribution. Added a bug | |
| 26 reporting howto. | |

29 0.2.22 |
| 41 | 30 |
| 31 - Hello, I'm meillo, the new maintainer and developer of masqmail. Oku | |
| 48 | 32 handed masqmail over to me, because he wasn't active anymore. |
| 41 | 33 |
| 34 - This release includes various fixes for problems in 0.2.21, mainly | |
| 35 based on bugs from Debian. | |
| 36 | |
| 37 - Distribution specific data has been excluded from the distribution, | |
| 48 | 38 but is separately available on the project's website. |
| 41 | 39 |
| 40 - Man pages will not be generated from xml sources in future, but the | |
| 41 nroff sources will be maintained directly. | |
| 42 | |
| 43 - The default online status file is now | |
| 44 /var/run/masqmail/masqmail-route, as it already was in the Debian | |
| 45 package. | |
| 46 | |
| 48 | 47 |
| 41 | 48 0.2.21 |
| 49 | |
| 50 - Retrospective: Probably, this version was not published in the usual | |
| 51 way by oku. I (meillo) grabbed it from Debian's package archive. It does | |
| 52 not introduce new functions but fixes security problems, such as writing | |
| 53 log files as user `mail'. It also changes the location for pid files; | |
| 54 they are stored in /var/run/masqmail/ now. | |
| 0 | 55 |
| 48 | 56 |
| 0 | 57 0.2.18 |
| 58 | |
| 48 | 59 - delivery warnings and failures are now also implemented if the |
| 0 | 60 connection to a server fails. Because masqmail is designed for dialup |
| 61 networks, a connection failure will merely generate a warning by default. | |
| 62 If you deliver in a local network and use the default local_net route, | |
| 63 this would generte a failure. You can change this behaviour by setting | |
| 41 | 64 'connect_error_fail' to either true or false in the route configurations. |
| 0 | 65 |
| 66 0.2.17 | |
| 67 | |
| 68 - delivery warnings have been finally implemented: if delivery of a mail | |
| 69 fails temporarily, warning mail will be generated, informing the sender | |
| 70 of the problem. After some time, the mail will be handled as failing | |
| 71 permanently, and be bounced. New options: 'warn_intervals', | |
| 72 'max_defer_time' and 'warnmsg_file'. | |
| 73 | |
| 74 - the message templates for failures and warnings will now be installed | |
| 75 into /usr/share/masqmail/tpl/, and no longer to /etc/masqmail/tpl/. The | |
| 76 default for the search path (options 'errmsg_file' and 'warnmsg_file' | |
| 77 has been changed accordingly. | |
| 78 | |
| 79 - new option 'last_route'. See man 5 masqmail.route. | |
| 80 | |
| 81 0.2.12 | |
| 82 two new options have been added: | |
| 83 - do_pipelining will be used only in broken mail setups. Actually, I | |
| 84 implemented it only to test such a setup. | |
| 85 | |
| 86 - helo_name for routes sets the helo_name. This may be useful for | |
| 87 eg. ssh tunneling, or if do_correcthelo does not work, because you are | |
| 88 behind a firewall. | |
| 89 | |
| 90 - the old 'remote_port' option should not be used any more. Set the | |
| 91 port with mail_host="foo.bar.com:1234" in the route file instead. | |
| 92 | |
| 93 0.2.11 | |
| 94 | |
| 95 - two new options have been added: do_save_envelope_to for the main | |
| 96 configuration and map_h_mail_followup_to_addresses for the route | |
| 97 files. See the man pages on purpose and usage. | |
| 98 | |
| 99 - the route files can now be mode 0400, owned by root. Previous | |
| 100 versions had problems when sendmail was called directly by a | |
| 101 non-priviledged user, because the route files could not be read. | |
| 102 | |
| 103 0.2.10 | |
| 104 | |
| 105 - this version should work on FreeBSD. At least I care now if it does not. | |
| 106 | |
| 107 - masqmail now writes pid files to /var/run/, one for the smtp/queue | |
| 108 daemon and one for the get daemon. So you now know whom to kill ;-) | |
| 109 | |
| 110 - much effort has been put into the Debian package, which now uses debconf. | |
| 111 | |
| 112 0.2.7 | |
| 113 | |
| 114 - sorry for my reluctany in the last months... | |
| 115 - my email address is oku@masqmail.cx. I hope that I keep this for the rest | |
| 116 of my life... | |
| 117 | |
| 118 0.2.6 | |
| 119 | |
| 120 - you can configure the prefered local delivery mechanism for each user. See | |
| 121 man page masqmail.conf (5), options mbox_default, mbox_users, mda_users and | |
| 122 maildir_users. BIT FAT NOTE: if you used an mda, set mbox_default = "mda" | |
| 123 (or use the mda_users option). Just setting mda is not enough any more. | |
| 124 | |
| 125 - there are the allowed_return_paths and not_allowed_return_paths for the | |
| 126 route configurations, this enables better checking for return path addresses | |
| 127 than allowed_mail_locals. You can also use this to enable or disable messages | |
| 128 from null sender addresses (<>) using "<>". | |
| 129 note: this option has been there for quite a time... I just forgot to document it. | |
| 130 | |
| 131 0.2.5 | |
| 132 | |
| 133 - simple relay checking: if you set do_relay=false in masqmail.conf, users | |
| 134 with a return path that is not local will get a 550 reply if they try to | |
| 135 deliver to a not local address. This is for users to force them to have a | |
| 136 proper configuration. It is _not_ to prevent spammers from using your MTA | |
| 137 as a relay, it can be easily forged! masqmail is not designed to be an always | |
| 138 accessible MTA for an internet site. | |
| 139 | |
| 140 - added Maildir support. To use it, add --enable-maildir as ./configure | |
| 141 optiom. Currently, if enabled, all local deliveries are to Maildir | |
| 142 (in ~user/Maildir), and none to mailbox. This is preliminary, future versions | |
| 143 will be configurable (probably together with mda delivery). | |
| 144 | |
| 145 0.2.4 | |
| 146 | |
| 147 - added -v option, this logs to stdout, so you see what happens when | |
| 148 calling masqmail from command line. This is not yet finished, and only | |
| 149 for fetching mails completed. | |
| 150 | |
| 151 0.2.3 | |
| 152 | |
| 153 - new option lock_dir where locks will be put to. Defaults to the spool | |
| 154 dir with '/lock/' appended (if spool_dir is /var/spool/masqmail/, lock_dir | |
| 155 is /var/spool/masqmail/lock/). | |
| 156 | |
| 157 - You can use the 'do_uidl_dele' option more reliably. The uidl list | |
| 158 will be written immediately after a message was fetched, so if you use the | |
| 159 do_uidl and do_uidl_dele option you can safely interrupt masqmail when it is | |
| 160 getting mail via pop3, and do not get the message again next time. | |
| 161 | |
| 162 - there are a lot of new options for ./configure to customize masqmail | |
| 163 to your needs. See INSTALL. | |
| 164 | |
| 165 - Uli Funcke sent a patch with the new options 'local_addresses' and | |
| 166 'not_local_addresses' for masqmail.conf. With these, you can declare single | |
| 167 email addresses as local, though they normally are not, and vice versa, | |
| 168 declare addresses as not local though normally they are (determined with | |
| 169 local_hosts). These options are not yet documented. | |
| 170 | |
| 171 0.2.2 | |
| 172 - with -go5m you can now run a get daemon, the command 'masqmail -go5m' will fetch | |
| 173 mail every five minutes, using the detected online configuration. | |
| 174 | |
| 175 0.2.1 | |
| 176 | |
| 177 - there is a new option for the main conf: online_gets. Using this option, | |
| 178 you can retrieve mail with just calling masqmail -go, masqmail will detect | |
| 41 | 179 whether it is online (similar to connect_routes (which is now called |
| 0 | 180 online_routes)). |
| 181 | |
| 182 0.2.0 | |
| 183 | |
| 184 This is the first release of he development branch of masqmail | |
| 185 | |
| 186 - the default configuration is now /etc/masqmail/masqmail.conf | |
| 187 (as it already was for the debian package). The --with-conffile | |
| 188 option for configure has been replaced by the --with-confdir option. | |
| 189 | |
| 190 - added delivery failure notices: | |
| 191 o you can customize your own delivery failure report, its | |
| 192 default location is /etc/masqmail/tpl/failmsg.tpl | |
| 193 o if a delivery via a route fails permanently (the server replied with a 5xx status) | |
| 194 the message will be bounced, if it is bounced, no further delivery will be attempted. | |
| 195 This is different to previous versions, where failed messages were kept in the queue until | |
| 196 it was finally delivered, deleted or forever. | |
| 197 | |
| 198 - there is a new online detection method: pipe. This allows you more | |
| 199 flexibility to detect the current online status, eg. the DHCP status on notebooks. | |
| 200 | |
| 201 This method will once replace the 'mserver' option, | |
| 202 you can already use the program mservdetect to use it: | |
| 203 | |
| 204 online_method=pipe | |
| 205 online_pipe="/usr/bin/mservdetect localhost 222" | |
| 206 | |
| 207 instead of | |
| 208 | |
| 41 | 209 online_detect=mserver |
| 0 | 210 mserver_iface="localhost:222" |
| 211 | |
| 212 0.1.9 | |
| 213 | |
| 214 - you can use pipes in routes to implement gateways to uucp, fax, sms etc. | |
| 215 The setup is similar to mda transport. See man pages. | |
| 216 | |
| 217 - for each connection (connect_routes), you can now give a list of | |
| 218 route files, which will be used in the order given. You can use the | |
| 219 filter rules (allowed_* and not_allowed_* rules) within each route. | |
| 220 | |
| 221 0.1.8 | |
| 222 | |
| 223 - for pop retrieval and smtp sending you can use a wrapper for eg. ssl | |
| 224 tunneling. See man pages. | |
| 225 | |
| 226 - a user can delete his mail from the spool with -Mrm if received | |
| 227 locally, and if you configure with --enable-ident and set | |
| 228 ident_trusted_nets also if received via smtp. | |
| 229 | |
| 230 - a backslash now works to escape characters in the configuration, so | |
| 231 you can now use quotes inside quotes. All other characters with a | |
| 232 leading backslash will be converted to itself (\a becomes a, \\ | |
| 233 becomes \). | |
| 234 | |
| 235 - you can now use an mda for local mails. The mda will be called | |
| 236 *after* alias expansion. See documentation for more. | |
| 237 | |
| 238 0.1.0 | |
| 239 - masqmail can now retrieve mail with pop3. See the manual on how to do that. | |
| 240 - supports now ESMTP AUTH as a client. | |
| 241 - when called with -qo (without a connection name), the online status | |
| 242 will be checked with the configured method. | |
| 243 | |
| 244 0.0.10 | |
| 245 - there is now alias support. Give the location of the alias file (usually /etc/aliases) with eg. | |
| 246 alias_file = "/etc/aliases" | |
| 247 - delivery to pipes is now possible, but only if it appears in an alias file. Example: | |
| 248 pipe: |/usr/bin/command | |
| 249 will expand the address pipe to "|/usr/bin/command" which invokes '/usr/bin/command' | |
| 250 as the user and group masqmail is running as. | |
| 251 - entries starting with '\' in alias files will not be exanded further | |
| 252 | |
| 253 - changed permissions for queue runs again: got to be root, mail or in group trusted. | |
| 254 | |
| 255 - some configuration parameters can be read from files, these are | |
| 256 allowed_mail_locals, not_allowed_mail_locals, allowed_rcpt_domains, not_allowed_rcpt_domains, | |
| 257 map_return_path_addresses, map_h_from_addresses, map_h_reply_to_addresses | |
| 258 any entry in these list beginning with a '/' are regarded as | |
| 259 filenames, the content of these will be put at that location. Entries | |
| 260 in these files are separated by new lines. Example: | |
| 261 in the route file you have: | |
| 262 map_h_from_addresses = "/etc/masqmail/hfrom.map" | |
| 263 and hfrom.map contains: | |
| 264 | |
| 265 john: John Smith <jsmith@mail.academic.edu> | |
| 266 cmiller: "Charlie Miller" <cmiller@foo.com> | |
| 267 | |
| 268 UPDATE (Jan 2000): The new home location of MasqMail is | |
| 269 http://www.innominate.org/~oku/masqmail/, the new email adress of the | |
| 270 author is Oliver Kurth <kurth@innominate.de>. | |
| 271 | |

| 276 http://merlin.uni-sw.gwdg.de/~okurth/masqmail/ is uncertain from the | |
| 277 beginning of Nov. 1999! See http://www.freshmeat.net for new | |
| 278 announcements. I leave the university and begin a new job on Nov. 1st 1999 | |
| 279 in Berlin :-). | |
| 280 | |
| 281 0.0.8: | |
| 282 - there is now a FAQ page. See docs/faq.html. | |

| 285 - mailq now gives information about the time mails spent in the queue, | |
| 286 the message size and the received host. | |
| 287 | |
| 288 0.0.7: | |
| 289 -bug fix release: for statements in two adjacent lines, the second was not recognized. | |
| 290 | |
| 291 0.0.6: | |
| 292 - bug fix release: some MUAs (cucipop) saw the locally delivered mails | |
| 293 concatenated. (cucipop is not a MUA but a pop server, but it has to read the | |
| 294 mails). | |
| 295 | |
| 296 0.0.5: | |
| 297 - fixed a bug that caused the headers to be lost under some circumstances. | |
| 298 - added expand_h_sender_domain option for routes. | |
| 299 - rewrote the libresolv part in configure. Should work better now. | |
| 300 | |
| 301 0.0.4: | |
| 302 - MM should now recognize whether libresolv should be linked. | |
| 303 - added --with-logdir=LOGDIR and --with-spooldir=SPOOLDIR to set directories. | |
| 304 These will be created if not already existent. | |
| 305 - added --with-user=USER, --with-group=GROUP options to set user and group id | |
| 306 for MasqMail. | |
| 307 | |
| 308 0.0.3: | |

| 310 time immediately to the internet. See the options detect_online, | |
| 311 mserver_iface and online_file. | |
| 312 - You can define a route configuration for the local net. See option | |
| 313 local_net_route. | |
| 314 |
