| 77 | 10 0.2.24 |
| 11 | |
| 12 - This version keeps on logging after an restart of the deamon, for | |
| 13 instance when sending SIGHUP to the daemon process for rereading its | |
| 14 config. | |
| 15 | |
| 16 - Now the daemon keeps the same process id when it receives SIGHUP to | |
| 17 reread the config. | |
| 18 | |
| 19 - Mail messages with lines longer than 4096 characters do not get | |
| 20 truncated anymore. | |
| 21 | |
| 22 | |
| 53 | 23 0.2.23 |
| 24 | |
| 25 - This release fixes a major bug in 0.2.22 which made online detection | |
| 26 by file unusable. Thanks to Juergen Daubert for reporting and providing | |
| 27 a patch. | |
| 28 | |
| 69 | 29 - Masqmail installs to /usr/local by default now. Previously it |
| 30 installed to /usr. To regain the old behavior, add | |
| 31 --prefix=/usr | |
| 32 to the configure call. | |
| 33 | |
| 34 - Man pages get installed again; in 0.2.22 they were not. Again thanks | |
| 35 to Juergen Daubert. Docs and examples do get installed now too. | |
| 36 | |
| 37 - Updated the docs. Moved the man pages from docs/ to man/. Added the | |
| 38 old manual from the old website to the distribution. Added a bug | |
| 39 reporting howto. | |
| 40 | |

42 0.2.22 |
| 41 | 43 |
| 44 - Hello, I'm meillo, the new maintainer and developer of masqmail. Oku | |
| 48 | 45 handed masqmail over to me, because he wasn't active anymore. |
| 41 | 46 |
| 47 - This release includes various fixes for problems in 0.2.21, mainly | |
| 48 based on bugs from Debian. | |
| 49 | |
| 50 - Distribution specific data has been excluded from the distribution, | |
| 48 | 51 but is separately available on the project's website. |
| 41 | 52 |
| 53 - Man pages will not be generated from xml sources in future, but the | |
| 54 nroff sources will be maintained directly. | |
| 55 | |
| 56 - The default online status file is now | |
| 57 /var/run/masqmail/masqmail-route, as it already was in the Debian | |
| 58 package. | |
| 59 | |
| 48 | 60 |
| 41 | 61 0.2.21 |
| 62 | |
| 63 - Retrospective: Probably, this version was not published in the usual | |
| 64 way by oku. I (meillo) grabbed it from Debian's package archive. It does | |
| 65 not introduce new functions but fixes security problems, such as writing | |
| 66 log files as user `mail'. It also changes the location for pid files; | |
| 67 they are stored in /var/run/masqmail/ now. | |
| 0 | 68 |
| 48 | 69 |
| 0 | 70 0.2.18 |
| 71 | |
| 48 | 72 - delivery warnings and failures are now also implemented if the |
| 0 | 73 connection to a server fails. Because masqmail is designed for dialup |
| 74 networks, a connection failure will merely generate a warning by default. | |
| 75 If you deliver in a local network and use the default local_net route, | |
| 76 this would generte a failure. You can change this behaviour by setting | |
| 41 | 77 'connect_error_fail' to either true or false in the route configurations. |
| 0 | 78 |
| 79 0.2.17 | |
| 80 | |
| 81 - delivery warnings have been finally implemented: if delivery of a mail | |
| 82 fails temporarily, warning mail will be generated, informing the sender | |
| 83 of the problem. After some time, the mail will be handled as failing | |
| 84 permanently, and be bounced. New options: 'warn_intervals', | |
| 85 'max_defer_time' and 'warnmsg_file'. | |
| 86 | |
| 87 - the message templates for failures and warnings will now be installed | |
| 88 into /usr/share/masqmail/tpl/, and no longer to /etc/masqmail/tpl/. The | |
| 89 default for the search path (options 'errmsg_file' and 'warnmsg_file' | |
| 90 has been changed accordingly. | |
| 91 | |
| 92 - new option 'last_route'. See man 5 masqmail.route. | |
| 93 | |
| 94 0.2.12 | |
| 95 two new options have been added: | |
| 96 - do_pipelining will be used only in broken mail setups. Actually, I | |
| 97 implemented it only to test such a setup. | |
| 98 | |
| 99 - helo_name for routes sets the helo_name. This may be useful for | |
| 100 eg. ssh tunneling, or if do_correcthelo does not work, because you are | |
| 101 behind a firewall. | |
| 102 | |
| 103 - the old 'remote_port' option should not be used any more. Set the | |
| 104 port with mail_host="foo.bar.com:1234" in the route file instead. | |
| 105 | |
| 106 0.2.11 | |
| 107 | |
| 108 - two new options have been added: do_save_envelope_to for the main | |
| 109 configuration and map_h_mail_followup_to_addresses for the route | |
| 110 files. See the man pages on purpose and usage. | |
| 111 | |
| 112 - the route files can now be mode 0400, owned by root. Previous | |
| 113 versions had problems when sendmail was called directly by a | |
| 114 non-priviledged user, because the route files could not be read. | |
| 115 | |
| 116 0.2.10 | |
| 117 | |
| 118 - this version should work on FreeBSD. At least I care now if it does not. | |
| 119 | |
| 120 - masqmail now writes pid files to /var/run/, one for the smtp/queue | |
| 121 daemon and one for the get daemon. So you now know whom to kill ;-) | |
| 122 | |
| 123 - much effort has been put into the Debian package, which now uses debconf. | |
| 124 | |
| 125 0.2.7 | |
| 126 | |
| 127 - sorry for my reluctany in the last months... | |
| 128 - my email address is oku@masqmail.cx. I hope that I keep this for the rest | |
| 129 of my life... | |
| 130 | |
| 131 0.2.6 | |
| 132 | |
| 133 - you can configure the prefered local delivery mechanism for each user. See | |
| 134 man page masqmail.conf (5), options mbox_default, mbox_users, mda_users and | |
| 135 maildir_users. BIT FAT NOTE: if you used an mda, set mbox_default = "mda" | |
| 136 (or use the mda_users option). Just setting mda is not enough any more. | |
| 137 | |
| 138 - there are the allowed_return_paths and not_allowed_return_paths for the | |
| 139 route configurations, this enables better checking for return path addresses | |
| 140 than allowed_mail_locals. You can also use this to enable or disable messages | |
| 141 from null sender addresses (<>) using "<>". | |
| 142 note: this option has been there for quite a time... I just forgot to document it. | |
| 143 | |
| 144 0.2.5 | |
| 145 | |
| 146 - simple relay checking: if you set do_relay=false in masqmail.conf, users | |
| 147 with a return path that is not local will get a 550 reply if they try to | |
| 148 deliver to a not local address. This is for users to force them to have a | |
| 149 proper configuration. It is _not_ to prevent spammers from using your MTA | |
| 150 as a relay, it can be easily forged! masqmail is not designed to be an always | |
| 151 accessible MTA for an internet site. | |
| 152 | |
| 153 - added Maildir support. To use it, add --enable-maildir as ./configure | |
| 154 optiom. Currently, if enabled, all local deliveries are to Maildir | |
| 155 (in ~user/Maildir), and none to mailbox. This is preliminary, future versions | |
| 156 will be configurable (probably together with mda delivery). | |
| 157 | |
| 158 0.2.4 | |
| 159 | |
| 160 - added -v option, this logs to stdout, so you see what happens when | |
| 161 calling masqmail from command line. This is not yet finished, and only | |
| 162 for fetching mails completed. | |
| 163 | |
| 164 0.2.3 | |
| 165 | |
| 166 - new option lock_dir where locks will be put to. Defaults to the spool | |
| 167 dir with '/lock/' appended (if spool_dir is /var/spool/masqmail/, lock_dir | |
| 168 is /var/spool/masqmail/lock/). | |
| 169 | |
| 170 - You can use the 'do_uidl_dele' option more reliably. The uidl list | |
| 171 will be written immediately after a message was fetched, so if you use the | |
| 172 do_uidl and do_uidl_dele option you can safely interrupt masqmail when it is | |
| 173 getting mail via pop3, and do not get the message again next time. | |
| 174 | |
| 175 - there are a lot of new options for ./configure to customize masqmail | |
| 176 to your needs. See INSTALL. | |
| 177 | |
| 178 - Uli Funcke sent a patch with the new options 'local_addresses' and | |
| 179 'not_local_addresses' for masqmail.conf. With these, you can declare single | |
| 180 email addresses as local, though they normally are not, and vice versa, | |
| 181 declare addresses as not local though normally they are (determined with | |
| 182 local_hosts). These options are not yet documented. | |
| 183 | |
| 184 0.2.2 | |
| 185 - with -go5m you can now run a get daemon, the command 'masqmail -go5m' will fetch | |
| 186 mail every five minutes, using the detected online configuration. | |
| 187 | |
| 188 0.2.1 | |
| 189 | |
| 190 - there is a new option for the main conf: online_gets. Using this option, | |
| 191 you can retrieve mail with just calling masqmail -go, masqmail will detect | |
| 41 | 192 whether it is online (similar to connect_routes (which is now called |
| 0 | 193 online_routes)). |
| 194 | |
| 195 0.2.0 | |
| 196 | |
| 197 This is the first release of he development branch of masqmail | |
| 198 | |
| 199 - the default configuration is now /etc/masqmail/masqmail.conf | |
| 200 (as it already was for the debian package). The --with-conffile | |
| 201 option for configure has been replaced by the --with-confdir option. | |
| 202 | |
| 203 - added delivery failure notices: | |
| 204 o you can customize your own delivery failure report, its | |
| 205 default location is /etc/masqmail/tpl/failmsg.tpl | |
| 206 o if a delivery via a route fails permanently (the server replied with a 5xx status) | |
| 207 the message will be bounced, if it is bounced, no further delivery will be attempted. | |
| 208 This is different to previous versions, where failed messages were kept in the queue until | |
| 209 it was finally delivered, deleted or forever. | |
| 210 | |
| 211 - there is a new online detection method: pipe. This allows you more | |
| 212 flexibility to detect the current online status, eg. the DHCP status on notebooks. | |
| 213 | |
| 214 This method will once replace the 'mserver' option, | |
| 215 you can already use the program mservdetect to use it: | |
| 216 | |
| 217 online_method=pipe | |
| 218 online_pipe="/usr/bin/mservdetect localhost 222" | |
| 219 | |
| 220 instead of | |
| 221 | |
| 41 | 222 online_detect=mserver |
| 0 | 223 mserver_iface="localhost:222" |
| 224 | |
| 225 0.1.9 | |
| 226 | |
| 227 - you can use pipes in routes to implement gateways to uucp, fax, sms etc. | |
| 228 The setup is similar to mda transport. See man pages. | |
| 229 | |
| 230 - for each connection (connect_routes), you can now give a list of | |
| 231 route files, which will be used in the order given. You can use the | |
| 232 filter rules (allowed_* and not_allowed_* rules) within each route. | |
| 233 | |
| 234 0.1.8 | |
| 235 | |
| 236 - for pop retrieval and smtp sending you can use a wrapper for eg. ssl | |
| 237 tunneling. See man pages. | |
| 238 | |
| 239 - a user can delete his mail from the spool with -Mrm if received | |
| 240 locally, and if you configure with --enable-ident and set | |
| 241 ident_trusted_nets also if received via smtp. | |
| 242 | |
| 243 - a backslash now works to escape characters in the configuration, so | |
| 244 you can now use quotes inside quotes. All other characters with a | |
| 245 leading backslash will be converted to itself (\a becomes a, \\ | |
| 246 becomes \). | |
| 247 | |
| 248 - you can now use an mda for local mails. The mda will be called | |
| 249 *after* alias expansion. See documentation for more. | |
| 250 | |
| 251 0.1.0 | |
| 252 - masqmail can now retrieve mail with pop3. See the manual on how to do that. | |
| 253 - supports now ESMTP AUTH as a client. | |
| 254 - when called with -qo (without a connection name), the online status | |
| 255 will be checked with the configured method. | |
| 256 | |
| 257 0.0.10 | |
| 258 - there is now alias support. Give the location of the alias file (usually /etc/aliases) with eg. | |
| 259 alias_file = "/etc/aliases" | |
| 260 - delivery to pipes is now possible, but only if it appears in an alias file. Example: | |
| 261 pipe: |/usr/bin/command | |
| 262 will expand the address pipe to "|/usr/bin/command" which invokes '/usr/bin/command' | |
| 263 as the user and group masqmail is running as. | |
| 264 - entries starting with '\' in alias files will not be exanded further | |
| 265 | |
| 266 - changed permissions for queue runs again: got to be root, mail or in group trusted. | |
| 267 | |
| 268 - some configuration parameters can be read from files, these are | |
| 269 allowed_mail_locals, not_allowed_mail_locals, allowed_rcpt_domains, not_allowed_rcpt_domains, | |
| 270 map_return_path_addresses, map_h_from_addresses, map_h_reply_to_addresses | |
| 271 any entry in these list beginning with a '/' are regarded as | |
| 272 filenames, the content of these will be put at that location. Entries | |
| 273 in these files are separated by new lines. Example: | |
| 274 in the route file you have: | |
| 275 map_h_from_addresses = "/etc/masqmail/hfrom.map" | |
| 276 and hfrom.map contains: | |
| 277 | |
| 278 john: John Smith <jsmith@mail.academic.edu> | |
| 279 cmiller: "Charlie Miller" <cmiller@foo.com> | |
| 280 | |
| 281 UPDATE (Jan 2000): The new home location of MasqMail is | |

| 291 announcements. I leave the university and begin a new job on Nov. 1st 1999 | |
| 292 in Berlin :-). | |
| 293 | |
| 294 0.0.8: | |

| 298 - mailq now gives information about the time mails spent in the queue, | |
| 299 the message size and the received host. | |
| 300 | |
| 301 0.0.7: | |
| 302 -bug fix release: for statements in two adjacent lines, the second was not recognized. | |
| 303 | |
| 304 0.0.6: | |
| 305 - bug fix release: some MUAs (cucipop) saw the locally delivered mails | |
| 306 concatenated. (cucipop is not a MUA but a pop server, but it has to read the | |
| 307 mails). | |
| 308 | |
| 309 0.0.5: | |
| 310 - fixed a bug that caused the headers to be lost under some circumstances. | |
| 311 - added expand_h_sender_domain option for routes. | |
| 312 - rewrote the libresolv part in configure. Should work better now. | |
| 313 | |
| 314 0.0.4: | |
| 315 - MM should now recognize whether libresolv should be linked. | |
| 316 - added --with-logdir=LOGDIR and --with-spooldir=SPOOLDIR to set directories. | |
| 317 These will be created if not already existent. | |
| 318 - added --with-user=USER, --with-group=GROUP options to set user and group id | |
| 319 for MasqMail. | |
| 320 | |
| 321 0.0.3: | |

| 326 local_net_route. | |
| 327 |
