1 Here I add changes which may be important for you. See ChangeLog for more
|
|
|
2 details and the manual pages for a more complete description
|
|
|
3 of added options.
|
|
|
4
|
|
|
5 0.2.18
|
|
|
6
|
|
|
7 - delivery warnings and failures are now also implermented if the
|
|
|
8 connection to a server fails. Because masqmail is designed for dialup
|
|
|
9 networks, a connection failure will merely generate a warning by default.
|
|
|
10 If you deliver in a local network and use the default local_net route,
|
|
|
11 this would generte a failure. You can change this behaviour by setting
|
|
|
12 connect_error_fail
|
|
|
13 to either true or false in the route configurations.
|
|
|
14
|
|
|
15 0.2.17
|
|
|
16
|
|
|
17 - delivery warnings have been finally implemented: if delivery of a mail
|
|
|
18 fails temporarily, warning mail will be generated, informing the sender
|
|
|
19 of the problem. After some time, the mail will be handled as failing
|
|
|
20 permanently, and be bounced. New options: 'warn_intervals',
|
|
|
21 'max_defer_time' and 'warnmsg_file'.
|
|
|
22
|
|
|
23 - the message templates for failures and warnings will now be installed
|
|
|
24 into /usr/share/masqmail/tpl/, and no longer to /etc/masqmail/tpl/. The
|
|
|
25 default for the search path (options 'errmsg_file' and 'warnmsg_file'
|
|
|
26 has been changed accordingly.
|
|
|
27
|
|
|
28 - new option 'last_route'. See man 5 masqmail.route.
|
|
|
29
|
|
|
30 0.2.12
|
|
|
31 two new options have been added:
|
|
|
32 - do_pipelining will be used only in broken mail setups. Actually, I
|
|
|
33 implemented it only to test such a setup.
|
|
|
34
|
|
|
35 - helo_name for routes sets the helo_name. This may be useful for
|
|
|
36 eg. ssh tunneling, or if do_correcthelo does not work, because you are
|
|
|
37 behind a firewall.
|
|
|
38
|
|
|
39 - the old 'remote_port' option should not be used any more. Set the
|
|
|
40 port with mail_host="foo.bar.com:1234" in the route file instead.
|
|
|
41
|
|
|
42 0.2.11
|
|
|
43
|
|
|
44 - two new options have been added: do_save_envelope_to for the main
|
|
|
45 configuration and map_h_mail_followup_to_addresses for the route
|
|
|
46 files. See the man pages on purpose and usage.
|
|
|
47
|
|
|
48 - the route files can now be mode 0400, owned by root. Previous
|
|
|
49 versions had problems when sendmail was called directly by a
|
|
|
50 non-priviledged user, because the route files could not be read.
|
|
|
51
|
|
|
52 0.2.10
|
|
|
53
|
|
|
54 - this version should work on FreeBSD. At least I care now if it does not.
|
|
|
55
|
|
|
56 - masqmail now writes pid files to /var/run/, one for the smtp/queue
|
|
|
57 daemon and one for the get daemon. So you now know whom to kill ;-)
|
|
|
58
|
|
|
59 - much effort has been put into the Debian package, which now uses debconf.
|
|
|
60
|
|
|
61 0.2.7
|
|
|
62
|
|
|
63 - sorry for my reluctany in the last months...
|
|
|
64 - my email address is oku@masqmail.cx. I hope that I keep this for the rest
|
|
|
65 of my life...
|
|
|
66
|
|
|
67 0.2.6
|
|
|
68
|
|
|
69 - you can configure the prefered local delivery mechanism for each user. See
|
|
|
70 man page masqmail.conf (5), options mbox_default, mbox_users, mda_users and
|
|
|
71 maildir_users. BIT FAT NOTE: if you used an mda, set mbox_default = "mda"
|
|
|
72 (or use the mda_users option). Just setting mda is not enough any more.
|
|
|
73
|
|
|
74 - there are the allowed_return_paths and not_allowed_return_paths for the
|
|
|
75 route configurations, this enables better checking for return path addresses
|
|
|
76 than allowed_mail_locals. You can also use this to enable or disable messages
|
|
|
77 from null sender addresses (<>) using "<>".
|
|
|
78 note: this option has been there for quite a time... I just forgot to document it.
|
|
|
79
|
|
|
80 0.2.5
|
|
|
81
|
|
|
82 - simple relay checking: if you set do_relay=false in masqmail.conf, users
|
|
|
83 with a return path that is not local will get a 550 reply if they try to
|
|
|
84 deliver to a not local address. This is for users to force them to have a
|
|
|
85 proper configuration. It is _not_ to prevent spammers from using your MTA
|
|
|
86 as a relay, it can be easily forged! masqmail is not designed to be an always
|
|
|
87 accessible MTA for an internet site.
|
|
|
88
|
|
|
89 - added Maildir support. To use it, add --enable-maildir as ./configure
|
|
|
90 optiom. Currently, if enabled, all local deliveries are to Maildir
|
|
|
91 (in ~user/Maildir), and none to mailbox. This is preliminary, future versions
|
|
|
92 will be configurable (probably together with mda delivery).
|
|
|
93
|
|
|
94 0.2.4
|
|
|
95
|
|
|
96 - added -v option, this logs to stdout, so you see what happens when
|
|
|
97 calling masqmail from command line. This is not yet finished, and only
|
|
|
98 for fetching mails completed.
|
|
|
99
|
|
|
100 0.2.3
|
|
|
101
|
|
|
102 - new option lock_dir where locks will be put to. Defaults to the spool
|
|
|
103 dir with '/lock/' appended (if spool_dir is /var/spool/masqmail/, lock_dir
|
|
|
104 is /var/spool/masqmail/lock/).
|
|
|
105
|
|
|
106 - You can use the 'do_uidl_dele' option more reliably. The uidl list
|
|
|
107 will be written immediately after a message was fetched, so if you use the
|
|
|
108 do_uidl and do_uidl_dele option you can safely interrupt masqmail when it is
|
|
|
109 getting mail via pop3, and do not get the message again next time.
|
|
|
110
|
|
|
111 - there are a lot of new options for ./configure to customize masqmail
|
|
|
112 to your needs. See INSTALL.
|
|
|
113
|
|
|
114 - Uli Funcke sent a patch with the new options 'local_addresses' and
|
|
|
115 'not_local_addresses' for masqmail.conf. With these, you can declare single
|
|
|
116 email addresses as local, though they normally are not, and vice versa,
|
|
|
117 declare addresses as not local though normally they are (determined with
|
|
|
118 local_hosts). These options are not yet documented.
|
|
|
119
|
|
|
120 0.2.2
|
|
|
121 - with -go5m you can now run a get daemon, the command 'masqmail -go5m' will fetch
|
|
|
122 mail every five minutes, using the detected online configuration.
|
|
|
123
|
|
|
124 0.2.1
|
|
|
125
|
|
|
126 - there is a new option for the main conf: online_gets. Using this option,
|
|
|
127 you can retrieve mail with just calling masqmail -go, masqmail will detect
|
|
|
128 whether it is online (similar to conect_routes (which is now called
|
|
|
129 online_routes)).
|
|
|
130
|
|
|
131 0.2.0
|
|
|
132
|
|
|
133 This is the first release of he development branch of masqmail
|
|
|
134
|
|
|
135 - the default configuration is now /etc/masqmail/masqmail.conf
|
|
|
136 (as it already was for the debian package). The --with-conffile
|
|
|
137 option for configure has been replaced by the --with-confdir option.
|
|
|
138
|
|
|
139 - added delivery failure notices:
|
|
|
140 o you can customize your own delivery failure report, its
|
|
|
141 default location is /etc/masqmail/tpl/failmsg.tpl
|
|
|
142 o if a delivery via a route fails permanently (the server replied with a 5xx status)
|
|
|
143 the message will be bounced, if it is bounced, no further delivery will be attempted.
|
|
|
144 This is different to previous versions, where failed messages were kept in the queue until
|
|
|
145 it was finally delivered, deleted or forever.
|
|
|
146
|
|
|
147 - there is a new online detection method: pipe. This allows you more
|
|
|
148 flexibility to detect the current online status, eg. the DHCP status on notebooks.
|
|
|
149
|
|
|
150 This method will once replace the 'mserver' option,
|
|
|
151 you can already use the program mservdetect to use it:
|
|
|
152
|
|
|
153 online_method=pipe
|
|
|
154 online_pipe="/usr/bin/mservdetect localhost 222"
|
|
|
155
|
|
|
156 instead of
|
|
|
157
|
|
|
158 online_etect=mserver
|
|
|
159 mserver_iface="localhost:222"
|
|
|
160
|
|
|
161 0.1.9
|
|
|
162
|
|
|
163 - you can use pipes in routes to implement gateways to uucp, fax, sms etc.
|
|
|
164 The setup is similar to mda transport. See man pages.
|
|
|
165
|
|
|
166 - for each connection (connect_routes), you can now give a list of
|
|
|
167 route files, which will be used in the order given. You can use the
|
|
|
168 filter rules (allowed_* and not_allowed_* rules) within each route.
|
|
|
169
|
|
|
170 0.1.8
|
|
|
171
|
|
|
172 - for pop retrieval and smtp sending you can use a wrapper for eg. ssl
|
|
|
173 tunneling. See man pages.
|
|
|
174
|
|
|
175 - a user can delete his mail from the spool with -Mrm if received
|
|
|
176 locally, and if you configure with --enable-ident and set
|
|
|
177 ident_trusted_nets also if received via smtp.
|
|
|
178
|
|
|
179 - a backslash now works to escape characters in the configuration, so
|
|
|
180 you can now use quotes inside quotes. All other characters with a
|
|
|
181 leading backslash will be converted to itself (\a becomes a, \\
|
|
|
182 becomes \).
|
|
|
183
|
|
|
184 - you can now use an mda for local mails. The mda will be called
|
|
|
185 *after* alias expansion. See documentation for more.
|
|
|
186
|
|
|
187 0.1.0
|
|
|
188 - masqmail can now retrieve mail with pop3. See the manual on how to do that.
|
|
|
189 - supports now ESMTP AUTH as a client.
|
|
|
190 - when called with -qo (without a connection name), the online status
|
|
|
191 will be checked with the configured method.
|
|
|
192
|
|
|
193 0.0.10
|
|
|
194 - there is now alias support. Give the location of the alias file (usually /etc/aliases) with eg.
|
|
|
195 alias_file = "/etc/aliases"
|
|
|
196 - delivery to pipes is now possible, but only if it appears in an alias file. Example:
|
|
|
197 pipe: |/usr/bin/command
|
|
|
198 will expand the address pipe to "|/usr/bin/command" which invokes '/usr/bin/command'
|
|
|
199 as the user and group masqmail is running as.
|
|
|
200 - entries starting with '\' in alias files will not be exanded further
|
|
|
201
|
|
|
202 - changed permissions for queue runs again: got to be root, mail or in group trusted.
|
|
|
203
|
|
|
204 - some configuration parameters can be read from files, these are
|
|
|
205 allowed_mail_locals, not_allowed_mail_locals, allowed_rcpt_domains, not_allowed_rcpt_domains,
|
|
|
206 map_return_path_addresses, map_h_from_addresses, map_h_reply_to_addresses
|
|
|
207 any entry in these list beginning with a '/' are regarded as
|
|
|
208 filenames, the content of these will be put at that location. Entries
|
|
|
209 in these files are separated by new lines. Example:
|
|
|
210 in the route file you have:
|
|
|
211 map_h_from_addresses = "/etc/masqmail/hfrom.map"
|
|
|
212 and hfrom.map contains:
|
|
|
213
|
|
|
214 john: John Smith <jsmith@mail.academic.edu>
|
|
|
215 cmiller: "Charlie Miller" <cmiller@foo.com>
|
|
|
216
|
|
|
217 UPDATE (Jan 2000): The new home location of MasqMail is
|

|
|
|
226 beginning of Nov. 1999! See http://www.freshmeat.net for new
|
|
|
227 announcements. I leave the university and begin a new job on Nov. 1st 1999
|
|
|
228 in Berlin :-).
|
|
|
229
|

240 0.0.6:
|
|
|
241 - bug fix release: some MUAs (cucipop) saw the locally delivered mails
|
|
|
242 concatenated. (cucipop is not a MUA but a pop server, but it has to read the
|
|
|
243 mails).
|
|
|
244
|
|
|
245 0.0.5:
|
|
|

|
|
|
247 - added expand_h_sender_domain option for routes.
|
|
|
248 - rewrote the libresolv part in configure. Should work better now.
|
|
|
249
|
|
|
250 0.0.4:
|
|
|
251 - MM should now recognize whether libresolv should be linked.
|
|
|
252 - added --with-logdir=LOGDIR and --with-spooldir=SPOOLDIR to set directories.
