annotate NEWS @ 358:92340177150d

Eventually switched the default group from `trusted' to `mail' All systems I run have a group `mail' but no group `trusted'. Also changed the uid/gid to the common values 8/12.

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
