masqmail

annotate NEWS @ 378:5781ba87df95

Removed ident. This had been discussed on the mailing list in Oct 2011. Ident is hardly useful in typical setups for masqmail. Probably Oliver had used it in his setup; that would make sense. Now, I know of nobody who needs it.

rev   line source
meillo@48 1 This NEWS file lists changes which may be important for you, especially
meillo@41 2 in regard to compatiblity in upgrades.
meillo@41 3
meillo@41 4 See ChangeLog file for more details and technical changes that don't
meillo@41 5 affect users directly.
meillo@41 6
meillo@41 7 The manual pages describe newly added options. Take them for reference.
meillo@41 8
meillo@41 9
meillo@336 10 0.3.3
meillo@336 11
meillo@336 12 - Fixed a possible security problem, reported by John Lightsey. Unwanted
meillo@336 13 identity changes to the user root could have appeared.
meillo@336 14
meillo@338 15 - Fixed local-part only address patterns in route conditions, as already
meillo@338 16 described in the man page.
meillo@338 17
meillo@336 18
meillo@324 19 0.3.2
meillo@324 20
meillo@324 21 - Fixed an important bug with folded headers! In earlier versions mail
meillo@324 22 to many recipients may, in unpredictable cases, only have been
meillo@324 23 delivered to the ones on the first line. This is fixed now. Sorry for
meillo@324 24 the inconvenience.
meillo@324 25
meillo@324 26 - Reworked allowed and denied addrs for routes to be more consistent
meillo@324 27 and allow more flexible matching:
meillo@324 28 o allowed_mail_locals + allowed_return_paths -> allowed_senders
meillo@324 29 o not_allowed_mail_locals + not_allowed_return_paths -> denied_senders
meillo@324 30 o allowed_rcpt_domains -> allowed_recipients
meillo@324 31 o not_allowed_rcpt_domains -> denied_recipients
meillo@324 32 See man page masqmail.route(5).
meillo@324 33
meillo@324 34 - Reworked online_detect to the simpler online_query. Only pipe is
meillo@324 35 supported now. Use
meillo@324 36 online_query="/bin/cat /path/to/file"
meillo@324 37 instead of
meillo@324 38 online_detect=file
meillo@324 39 online_file=/path/to/file
meillo@324 40 and
meillo@324 41 online_query="/path/to/some/script foo"
meillo@324 42 instead of
meillo@324 43 online_detect=pipe
meillo@324 44 online_pipe="/path/to/some/script foo"
meillo@324 45 See man page masqmail.conf(5) and admin/config-transition.
meillo@324 46
meillo@324 47 - Removed protocol option from route config because it was somehow
meillo@324 48 redundant. Now, if `pipe' is set, the protocol will be pipe, otherwise
meillo@324 49 it'll be smtp.
meillo@324 50
meillo@324 51 - Now the Received headers are much friendlier to read. The header for
meillo@324 52 locally (i.e. non-SMTP) received mail is changed to the format postfix
meillo@324 53 uses.
meillo@324 54
meillo@324 55 - Several improvements to the man pages.
meillo@324 56
meillo@324 57 - Updated autoconf.
meillo@324 58
meillo@324 59
meillo@253 60 0.3.1
meillo@253 61
meillo@287 62 - Changed the SMTP greeting behavior to match RFC 2821 (always try EHLO
meillo@287 63 first). Now always an EHLO greeting is sent first, no matter what kind of
meillo@287 64 greeting text the server had sent. If the EHLO failes, an HELO greeting
meillo@287 65 is tried as fall back. This change will fix setups in which it hadn't
meillo@287 66 been possible to send mail because the server required AUTH but hadn't
meillo@287 67 said ``ESMTP'' in its greeting message. Thanks to inne for pointing me
meillo@287 68 on that. This fixes also Debian bug #349211.
meillo@253 69
meillo@253 70 - The postmaster address is now matched caseless, as required by RFC.
meillo@253 71
meillo@291 72 - -qo (without argument) is now considered obsolete. Its behavior (online
meillo@291 73 detect and send over the available route) is included in -q. One may
meillo@291 74 simply use -q instead. In the -qo case no local mail is sent, but why
meillo@291 75 would be not want to do so? -qo (without arg) is still working but will
meillo@291 76 likely change its behavior to something more useful in the future.
meillo@291 77
meillo@287 78 - Command line address arguments are now added to the recipient
meillo@287 79 list instead of substracted, when -t is used. This coveres a rare
meillo@287 80 corner-case. It is a change from exim's behavior to postfix's.
meillo@287 81
meillo@287 82 - Several changes were made related to the operation modes: The situation
meillo@287 83 within the modes was made clear (see man page of masqmail(8)). If more
meillo@287 84 than one mode is specified then masqmail aborts. For the default operation
meillo@287 85 mode ``accept messages on stdin'' the command line switch -bm was added
meillo@287 86 (similar to othe MTAs). If masqmail is called without arguments, the
meillo@287 87 version information is printed now.
meillo@287 88
meillo@253 89 - The command line option -m is recognized now (although ignored).
meillo@253 90 Unknown -oXXX options are ignored. Some software (like spost of nmh)
meillo@253 91 calls the MTA with -m. This is mainly a relict of old sendmail times
meillo@253 92 but needed for compatibility.
meillo@253 93
meillo@258 94 - The implementation of the command line option -oem had been
meillo@258 95 weird. Now specifying -oem or -oee results in a (some kind of dumb but)
meillo@258 96 logical behavior. Common users will probably not notice any difference.
meillo@258 97 The changes affect only the exit code of the corner-case: Calling masqmail
meillo@258 98 with -oem but without -oi/-i while submitting messages on stdin.
meillo@258 99
meillo@287 100 - Fixed the recognition of lists of unqualified addresses in headers
meillo@287 101 when using -t. E.g. `To: alice, bob'.
meillo@287 102
meillo@253 103 - Renamed the config file option `alias_local_caseless' to
meillo@253 104 `caseless_matching' because the option affects any address matching.
meillo@253 105
meillo@253 106 - Renamed the default route for the local network to
meillo@253 107 `default local_net_route'. This is only of interest for log/debug file
meillo@253 108 studies.
meillo@253 109
meillo@253 110 - Improved and updated the man page for masqmail(8), especially in
meillo@253 111 respect to -oem which appears to be wrongly implemented. Minor
meillo@253 112 improvements of debug messages.
meillo@253 113
meillo@253 114
meillo@159 115 0.3.0
meillo@159 116
meillo@230 117 - Start of the new development branch. Attention: Backward
meillo@230 118 compatibility with 0.2.x versions will *NOT* be maintained. Upgrading
meillo@230 119 from 0.2.x to 0.3.x will probably require manual adjustment of the
meillo@230 120 configuration. The script admin/config-tansition can be used to check
meillo@230 121 the config files for obsolete options.
meillo@230 122
meillo@230 123 - Removed POP3 support (also pop-before-smtp/smtp-after-pop). Use some
meillo@230 124 other POP3 client instead.
meillo@230 125
meillo@230 126 - Removed maildir support. Use an MDA, like procmail, to deliver to
meillo@230 127 maildir.
meillo@230 128
meillo@230 129 - Removed the built-in mserver functionality. Use the mservdetect
meillo@230 130 program instead. See masqmail.conf(5) under `online_pipe' for details.
meillo@230 131
meillo@230 132 - Removed --disable-smtp-server and --with-glib-static configure
meillo@230 133 options. We see no more need to not compile the SMTP server function.
meillo@230 134 For static linking, see docs/howto-static-linking.
meillo@230 135
meillo@230 136 - `host_name' is the only mandatory config option now. If you only set
meillo@230 137 host_name, then masqmail will:
meillo@230 138 o accept mail on the command line
meillo@230 139 o listen on the local port 25 for incoming mail
meillo@230 140 o deliver mail locally
meillo@230 141 o not know how to handle mail for remote destinations
meillo@230 142 Therefore you should set up at least one route configuration.
meillo@230 143
meillo@230 144 - Default values are available for: listen_addresses, local_hosts,
meillo@230 145 log_dir, spool_dir, mail_dir. See masqmail.conf(5) for the values.
meillo@230 146
meillo@230 147 - Mservdetect works much better now.
meillo@230 148
meillo@230 149 - Improved the documentation:
meillo@230 150 o Added setup guides
meillo@230 151 o Improved and simplified the example config
meillo@230 152 And removed the old manual because it is really outdated now.
meillo@230 153
meillo@230 154 - Renamed misc/ to devel/ and contrib/ to admin/. devel/ contains
meillo@230 155 stuff for developers of masqmail, admin/ contains stuff for people who
meillo@230 156 install, upgrade, and configure masqmail.
meillo@230 157
meillo@230 158
meillo@230 159 0.2.28
meillo@230 160
meillo@230 161 - Added STARTTLS support with external wrappers like OpenSSL. See
meillo@230 162 `wrapper' and `instant_helo' in masqmail.route(5) for examples how to
meillo@230 163 use it. `instant_helo' is a new route config option.
meillo@230 164
meillo@230 165
meillo@230 166 0.2.27
meillo@230 167
meillo@230 168 - Replaced contributed code with possible licensing problems with
meillo@230 169 alternatives. The MD5 implementation changed from the reference
meillo@230 170 implementation of RFC 1321 to the Public Domain implementation of
meillo@230 171 Solar Designer. The HMAC-MD5 implementation changed from the reference
meillo@230 172 implementation of RFC 2104 to an own implementation (ISC License).
meillo@230 173
meillo@230 174 - Added the authors of contributed parts to the AUTHORS file.
meillo@230 175
meillo@230 176
meillo@230 177 0.2.26
meillo@230 178
meillo@230 179 - Write a log message when the daemon starts up. Thanks to Juergen
meillo@230 180 Daubert.
meillo@230 181
meillo@230 182 - Fix handling of --with-liblockfile=no or --without-liblockfile for
meillo@230 183 configure script. Thanks to Nico Roeser.
meillo@230 184
meillo@230 185 - Improved the INSTALL file and some man pages. Thanks to Nico Roeser
meillo@230 186 Improved the documentation of the wrapper option of route files.
meillo@159 187
meillo@159 188
meillo@126 189 0.2.25
meillo@126 190
meillo@126 191 - Added server-side SMTP SIZE support. Thanks to Paolo.
meillo@126 192
meillo@126 193 - Masqmail will from now on:
meillo@143 194 o always remove Bcc: headers
meillo@143 195 o never create headers from envelope recipients
meillo@143 196 o add ``To: undisclosed-recipients:;'' if no recipient header (To:
meillo@126 197 or Cc:) is present in the mail
meillo@126 198
meillo@126 199 - Colons (`:') don't need to be quoted in the config file anymore.
meillo@126 200 Thanks to Paolo.
meillo@126 201
meillo@143 202 - Added checks for too long addresses in SMTP dialog. Thanks to Paolo.
meillo@143 203
meillo@149 204 - Moved rmail to sbin and added a man page for it.
meillo@126 205
meillo@149 206 - Added warnmsg.tpl.it. Thanks to Paolo.
meillo@149 207
meillo@149 208 - The tests do not get installed any longer. All on install created
meillo@149 209 dirs are removed on uninstall, except they contain generated data like
meillo@149 210 logs, spooled files, or configuration.
meillo@126 211
meillo@143 212 - Documented some, yet undocumented, config options. Several typo
meillo@143 213 fixes in man pages and code comments.
meillo@126 214
meillo@126 215
meillo@77 216 0.2.24
meillo@77 217
meillo@77 218 - This version keeps on logging after an restart of the deamon, for
meillo@77 219 instance when sending SIGHUP to the daemon process for rereading its
meillo@77 220 config.
meillo@77 221
meillo@77 222 - Now the daemon keeps the same process id when it receives SIGHUP to
meillo@77 223 reread the config.
meillo@77 224
meillo@77 225 - Mail messages with lines longer than 4096 characters do not get
meillo@77 226 truncated anymore.
meillo@77 227
meillo@94 228 - Fixed checking of the trusted group. Primary groups are now
meillo@94 229 detected too.
meillo@94 230
meillo@94 231 - Mservdetect's man page is now in section 1.
meillo@94 232
meillo@94 233 - An `rmail' command is now included and gets installed with
meillo@94 234 masqmail. See docs/uucp-setup for more information.
meillo@94 235
meillo@94 236 - Docs and thelike, that masqmail installs, is removed on uninstall
meillo@94 237 now.
meillo@94 238
meillo@77 239
meillo@53 240 0.2.23
meillo@53 241
meillo@53 242 - This release fixes a major bug in 0.2.22 which made online detection
meillo@53 243 by file unusable. Thanks to Juergen Daubert for reporting and providing
meillo@53 244 a patch.
meillo@53 245
meillo@69 246 - Masqmail installs to /usr/local by default now. Previously it
meillo@69 247 installed to /usr. To regain the old behavior, add
meillo@69 248 --prefix=/usr
meillo@69 249 to the configure call.
meillo@69 250
meillo@69 251 - Man pages get installed again; in 0.2.22 they were not. Again thanks
meillo@69 252 to Juergen Daubert. Docs and examples do get installed now too.
meillo@69 253
meillo@69 254 - Updated the docs. Moved the man pages from docs/ to man/. Added the
meillo@69 255 old manual from the old website to the distribution. Added a bug
meillo@69 256 reporting howto.
meillo@69 257
meillo@53 258
meillo@42 259 0.2.22
meillo@41 260
meillo@41 261 - Hello, I'm meillo, the new maintainer and developer of masqmail. Oku
meillo@48 262 handed masqmail over to me, because he wasn't active anymore.
meillo@41 263
meillo@41 264 - This release includes various fixes for problems in 0.2.21, mainly
meillo@41 265 based on bugs from Debian.
meillo@41 266
meillo@41 267 - Distribution specific data has been excluded from the distribution,
meillo@48 268 but is separately available on the project's website.
meillo@41 269
meillo@41 270 - Man pages will not be generated from xml sources in future, but the
meillo@41 271 nroff sources will be maintained directly.
meillo@41 272
meillo@41 273 - The default online status file is now
meillo@41 274 /var/run/masqmail/masqmail-route, as it already was in the Debian
meillo@41 275 package.
meillo@41 276
meillo@48 277
meillo@41 278 0.2.21
meillo@41 279
meillo@41 280 - Retrospective: Probably, this version was not published in the usual
meillo@41 281 way by oku. I (meillo) grabbed it from Debian's package archive. It does
meillo@41 282 not introduce new functions but fixes security problems, such as writing
meillo@41 283 log files as user `mail'. It also changes the location for pid files;
meillo@41 284 they are stored in /var/run/masqmail/ now.
meillo@0 285
meillo@48 286
meillo@0 287 0.2.18
meillo@0 288
meillo@48 289 - delivery warnings and failures are now also implemented if the
meillo@0 290 connection to a server fails. Because masqmail is designed for dialup
meillo@0 291 networks, a connection failure will merely generate a warning by default.
meillo@0 292 If you deliver in a local network and use the default local_net route,
meillo@0 293 this would generte a failure. You can change this behaviour by setting
meillo@41 294 'connect_error_fail' to either true or false in the route configurations.
meillo@0 295
meillo@0 296 0.2.17
meillo@0 297
meillo@0 298 - delivery warnings have been finally implemented: if delivery of a mail
meillo@0 299 fails temporarily, warning mail will be generated, informing the sender
meillo@0 300 of the problem. After some time, the mail will be handled as failing
meillo@0 301 permanently, and be bounced. New options: 'warn_intervals',
meillo@0 302 'max_defer_time' and 'warnmsg_file'.
meillo@0 303
meillo@0 304 - the message templates for failures and warnings will now be installed
meillo@0 305 into /usr/share/masqmail/tpl/, and no longer to /etc/masqmail/tpl/. The
meillo@0 306 default for the search path (options 'errmsg_file' and 'warnmsg_file'
meillo@0 307 has been changed accordingly.
meillo@0 308
meillo@0 309 - new option 'last_route'. See man 5 masqmail.route.
meillo@0 310
meillo@0 311 0.2.12
meillo@0 312 two new options have been added:
meillo@0 313 - do_pipelining will be used only in broken mail setups. Actually, I
meillo@0 314 implemented it only to test such a setup.
meillo@0 315
meillo@0 316 - helo_name for routes sets the helo_name. This may be useful for
meillo@0 317 eg. ssh tunneling, or if do_correcthelo does not work, because you are
meillo@0 318 behind a firewall.
meillo@0 319
meillo@0 320 - the old 'remote_port' option should not be used any more. Set the
meillo@0 321 port with mail_host="foo.bar.com:1234" in the route file instead.
meillo@0 322
meillo@0 323 0.2.11
meillo@0 324
meillo@0 325 - two new options have been added: do_save_envelope_to for the main
meillo@0 326 configuration and map_h_mail_followup_to_addresses for the route
meillo@0 327 files. See the man pages on purpose and usage.
meillo@0 328
meillo@0 329 - the route files can now be mode 0400, owned by root. Previous
meillo@0 330 versions had problems when sendmail was called directly by a
meillo@0 331 non-priviledged user, because the route files could not be read.
meillo@0 332
meillo@0 333 0.2.10
meillo@0 334
meillo@0 335 - this version should work on FreeBSD. At least I care now if it does not.
meillo@0 336
meillo@0 337 - masqmail now writes pid files to /var/run/, one for the smtp/queue
meillo@0 338 daemon and one for the get daemon. So you now know whom to kill ;-)
meillo@0 339
meillo@0 340 - much effort has been put into the Debian package, which now uses debconf.
meillo@0 341
meillo@0 342 0.2.7
meillo@0 343
meillo@0 344 - sorry for my reluctany in the last months...
meillo@0 345 - my email address is oku@masqmail.cx. I hope that I keep this for the rest
meillo@0 346 of my life...
meillo@0 347
meillo@0 348 0.2.6
meillo@0 349
meillo@0 350 - you can configure the prefered local delivery mechanism for each user. See
meillo@0 351 man page masqmail.conf (5), options mbox_default, mbox_users, mda_users and
meillo@0 352 maildir_users. BIT FAT NOTE: if you used an mda, set mbox_default = "mda"
meillo@0 353 (or use the mda_users option). Just setting mda is not enough any more.
meillo@0 354
meillo@0 355 - there are the allowed_return_paths and not_allowed_return_paths for the
meillo@0 356 route configurations, this enables better checking for return path addresses
meillo@0 357 than allowed_mail_locals. You can also use this to enable or disable messages
meillo@0 358 from null sender addresses (<>) using "<>".
meillo@0 359 note: this option has been there for quite a time... I just forgot to document it.
meillo@0 360
meillo@0 361 0.2.5
meillo@0 362
meillo@0 363 - simple relay checking: if you set do_relay=false in masqmail.conf, users
meillo@0 364 with a return path that is not local will get a 550 reply if they try to
meillo@0 365 deliver to a not local address. This is for users to force them to have a
meillo@0 366 proper configuration. It is _not_ to prevent spammers from using your MTA
meillo@0 367 as a relay, it can be easily forged! masqmail is not designed to be an always
meillo@0 368 accessible MTA for an internet site.
meillo@0 369
meillo@0 370 - added Maildir support. To use it, add --enable-maildir as ./configure
meillo@0 371 optiom. Currently, if enabled, all local deliveries are to Maildir
meillo@0 372 (in ~user/Maildir), and none to mailbox. This is preliminary, future versions
meillo@0 373 will be configurable (probably together with mda delivery).
meillo@0 374
meillo@0 375 0.2.4
meillo@0 376
meillo@0 377 - added -v option, this logs to stdout, so you see what happens when
meillo@0 378 calling masqmail from command line. This is not yet finished, and only
meillo@0 379 for fetching mails completed.
meillo@0 380
meillo@0 381 0.2.3
meillo@0 382
meillo@0 383 - new option lock_dir where locks will be put to. Defaults to the spool
meillo@0 384 dir with '/lock/' appended (if spool_dir is /var/spool/masqmail/, lock_dir
meillo@0 385 is /var/spool/masqmail/lock/).
meillo@0 386
meillo@0 387 - You can use the 'do_uidl_dele' option more reliably. The uidl list
meillo@0 388 will be written immediately after a message was fetched, so if you use the
meillo@0 389 do_uidl and do_uidl_dele option you can safely interrupt masqmail when it is
meillo@0 390 getting mail via pop3, and do not get the message again next time.
meillo@0 391
meillo@0 392 - there are a lot of new options for ./configure to customize masqmail
meillo@0 393 to your needs. See INSTALL.
meillo@0 394
meillo@0 395 - Uli Funcke sent a patch with the new options 'local_addresses' and
meillo@0 396 'not_local_addresses' for masqmail.conf. With these, you can declare single
meillo@0 397 email addresses as local, though they normally are not, and vice versa,
meillo@0 398 declare addresses as not local though normally they are (determined with
meillo@0 399 local_hosts). These options are not yet documented.
meillo@0 400
meillo@0 401 0.2.2
meillo@0 402 - with -go5m you can now run a get daemon, the command 'masqmail -go5m' will fetch
meillo@0 403 mail every five minutes, using the detected online configuration.
meillo@0 404
meillo@0 405 0.2.1
meillo@0 406
meillo@0 407 - there is a new option for the main conf: online_gets. Using this option,
meillo@0 408 you can retrieve mail with just calling masqmail -go, masqmail will detect
meillo@41 409 whether it is online (similar to connect_routes (which is now called
meillo@0 410 online_routes)).
meillo@0 411
meillo@0 412 0.2.0
meillo@0 413
meillo@0 414 This is the first release of he development branch of masqmail
meillo@0 415
meillo@0 416 - the default configuration is now /etc/masqmail/masqmail.conf
meillo@0 417 (as it already was for the debian package). The --with-conffile
meillo@0 418 option for configure has been replaced by the --with-confdir option.
meillo@0 419
meillo@0 420 - added delivery failure notices:
meillo@0 421 o you can customize your own delivery failure report, its
meillo@0 422 default location is /etc/masqmail/tpl/failmsg.tpl
meillo@0 423 o if a delivery via a route fails permanently (the server replied with a 5xx status)
meillo@0 424 the message will be bounced, if it is bounced, no further delivery will be attempted.
meillo@0 425 This is different to previous versions, where failed messages were kept in the queue until
meillo@0 426 it was finally delivered, deleted or forever.
meillo@0 427
meillo@0 428 - there is a new online detection method: pipe. This allows you more
meillo@0 429 flexibility to detect the current online status, eg. the DHCP status on notebooks.
meillo@0 430
meillo@0 431 This method will once replace the 'mserver' option,
meillo@0 432 you can already use the program mservdetect to use it:
meillo@0 433
meillo@0 434 online_method=pipe
meillo@0 435 online_pipe="/usr/bin/mservdetect localhost 222"
meillo@0 436
meillo@0 437 instead of
meillo@0 438
meillo@41 439 online_detect=mserver
meillo@0 440 mserver_iface="localhost:222"
meillo@0 441
meillo@0 442 0.1.9
meillo@0 443
meillo@0 444 - you can use pipes in routes to implement gateways to uucp, fax, sms etc.
meillo@0 445 The setup is similar to mda transport. See man pages.
meillo@0 446
meillo@0 447 - for each connection (connect_routes), you can now give a list of
meillo@0 448 route files, which will be used in the order given. You can use the
meillo@0 449 filter rules (allowed_* and not_allowed_* rules) within each route.
meillo@0 450
meillo@0 451 0.1.8
meillo@0 452
meillo@0 453 - for pop retrieval and smtp sending you can use a wrapper for eg. ssl
meillo@0 454 tunneling. See man pages.
meillo@0 455
meillo@0 456 - a user can delete his mail from the spool with -Mrm if received
meillo@0 457 locally, and if you configure with --enable-ident and set
meillo@0 458 ident_trusted_nets also if received via smtp.
meillo@0 459
meillo@0 460 - a backslash now works to escape characters in the configuration, so
meillo@0 461 you can now use quotes inside quotes. All other characters with a
meillo@0 462 leading backslash will be converted to itself (\a becomes a, \\
meillo@0 463 becomes \).
meillo@0 464
meillo@0 465 - you can now use an mda for local mails. The mda will be called
meillo@0 466 *after* alias expansion. See documentation for more.
meillo@0 467
meillo@0 468 0.1.0
meillo@0 469 - masqmail can now retrieve mail with pop3. See the manual on how to do that.
meillo@0 470 - supports now ESMTP AUTH as a client.
meillo@0 471 - when called with -qo (without a connection name), the online status
meillo@0 472 will be checked with the configured method.
meillo@0 473
meillo@0 474 0.0.10
meillo@0 475 - there is now alias support. Give the location of the alias file (usually /etc/aliases) with eg.
meillo@0 476 alias_file = "/etc/aliases"
meillo@0 477 - delivery to pipes is now possible, but only if it appears in an alias file. Example:
meillo@0 478 pipe: |/usr/bin/command
meillo@0 479 will expand the address pipe to "|/usr/bin/command" which invokes '/usr/bin/command'
meillo@0 480 as the user and group masqmail is running as.
meillo@0 481 - entries starting with '\' in alias files will not be exanded further
meillo@0 482
meillo@0 483 - changed permissions for queue runs again: got to be root, mail or in group trusted.
meillo@0 484
meillo@0 485 - some configuration parameters can be read from files, these are
meillo@0 486 allowed_mail_locals, not_allowed_mail_locals, allowed_rcpt_domains, not_allowed_rcpt_domains,
meillo@0 487 map_return_path_addresses, map_h_from_addresses, map_h_reply_to_addresses
meillo@0 488 any entry in these list beginning with a '/' are regarded as
meillo@0 489 filenames, the content of these will be put at that location. Entries
meillo@0 490 in these files are separated by new lines. Example:
meillo@0 491 in the route file you have:
meillo@0 492 map_h_from_addresses = "/etc/masqmail/hfrom.map"
meillo@0 493 and hfrom.map contains:
meillo@0 494
meillo@0 495 john: John Smith <jsmith@mail.academic.edu>
meillo@0 496 cmiller: "Charlie Miller" <cmiller@foo.com>
meillo@0 497
