| 159 | 59 0.3.0 |
| 60 | |
| 230 | 61 - Start of the new development branch. Attention: Backward |
| 62 compatibility with 0.2.x versions will *NOT* be maintained. Upgrading | |
| 63 from 0.2.x to 0.3.x will probably require manual adjustment of the | |
| 64 configuration. The script admin/config-tansition can be used to check | |
| 65 the config files for obsolete options. | |
| 66 | |
| 67 - Removed POP3 support (also pop-before-smtp/smtp-after-pop). Use some | |
| 68 other POP3 client instead. | |
| 69 | |
| 70 - Removed maildir support. Use an MDA, like procmail, to deliver to | |
| 71 maildir. | |
| 72 | |
| 73 - Removed the built-in mserver functionality. Use the mservdetect | |
| 74 program instead. See masqmail.conf(5) under `online_pipe' for details. | |
| 75 | |
| 76 - Removed --disable-smtp-server and --with-glib-static configure | |
| 77 options. We see no more need to not compile the SMTP server function. | |
| 78 For static linking, see docs/howto-static-linking. | |
| 79 | |
| 80 - `host_name' is the only mandatory config option now. If you only set | |
| 81 host_name, then masqmail will: | |
| 82 o accept mail on the command line | |
| 83 o listen on the local port 25 for incoming mail | |
| 84 o deliver mail locally | |
| 85 o not know how to handle mail for remote destinations | |
| 86 Therefore you should set up at least one route configuration. | |
| 87 | |
| 88 - Default values are available for: listen_addresses, local_hosts, | |
| 89 log_dir, spool_dir, mail_dir. See masqmail.conf(5) for the values. | |
| 90 | |
| 91 - Mservdetect works much better now. | |
| 92 | |
| 93 - Improved the documentation: | |
| 94 o Added setup guides | |
| 95 o Improved and simplified the example config | |
| 96 And removed the old manual because it is really outdated now. | |
| 97 | |
| 98 - Renamed misc/ to devel/ and contrib/ to admin/. devel/ contains | |
| 99 stuff for developers of masqmail, admin/ contains stuff for people who | |
| 100 install, upgrade, and configure masqmail. | |
| 101 | |
| 102 | |
| 103 0.2.28 | |
| 104 | |
| 105 - Added STARTTLS support with external wrappers like OpenSSL. See | |
| 106 `wrapper' and `instant_helo' in masqmail.route(5) for examples how to | |
| 107 use it. `instant_helo' is a new route config option. | |
| 108 | |
| 109 | |
| 110 0.2.27 | |
| 111 | |
| 112 - Replaced contributed code with possible licensing problems with | |
| 113 alternatives. The MD5 implementation changed from the reference | |
| 114 implementation of RFC 1321 to the Public Domain implementation of | |
| 115 Solar Designer. The HMAC-MD5 implementation changed from the reference | |
| 116 implementation of RFC 2104 to an own implementation (ISC License). | |
| 117 | |
| 118 - Added the authors of contributed parts to the AUTHORS file. | |
| 119 | |
| 120 | |
| 121 0.2.26 | |
| 122 | |
| 123 - Write a log message when the daemon starts up. Thanks to Juergen | |
| 124 Daubert. | |
| 125 | |
| 126 - Fix handling of --with-liblockfile=no or --without-liblockfile for | |
| 127 configure script. Thanks to Nico Roeser. | |
| 128 | |
| 129 - Improved the INSTALL file and some man pages. Thanks to Nico Roeser | |
| 130 Improved the documentation of the wrapper option of route files. | |
| 159 | 131 |
| 132 | |
| 126 | 133 0.2.25 |
| 134 | |
| 135 - Added server-side SMTP SIZE support. Thanks to Paolo. | |
| 136 | |
| 137 - Masqmail will from now on: | |
| 143 | 138 o always remove Bcc: headers |
| 139 o never create headers from envelope recipients | |
| 140 o add ``To: undisclosed-recipients:;'' if no recipient header (To: | |
| 126 | 141 or Cc:) is present in the mail |
| 142 | |
| 143 - Colons (`:') don't need to be quoted in the config file anymore. | |
| 144 Thanks to Paolo. | |
| 145 | |
| 143 | 146 - Added checks for too long addresses in SMTP dialog. Thanks to Paolo. |
| 147 | |
| 149 | 148 - Moved rmail to sbin and added a man page for it. |
| 149 | |
| 150 - Added warnmsg.tpl.it. Thanks to Paolo. | |
| 126 | 151 |
| 149 | 152 - The tests do not get installed any longer. All on install created |
| 153 dirs are removed on uninstall, except they contain generated data like | |
| 154 logs, spooled files, or configuration. | |
| 126 | 155 |
| 143 | 156 - Documented some, yet undocumented, config options. Several typo |
| 157 fixes in man pages and code comments. | |
| 126 | 158 |
| 159 | |
| 77 | 160 0.2.24 |
| 161 | |
| 162 - This version keeps on logging after an restart of the deamon, for | |
| 163 instance when sending SIGHUP to the daemon process for rereading its | |
| 164 config. | |
| 165 | |
| 166 - Now the daemon keeps the same process id when it receives SIGHUP to | |
| 167 reread the config. | |
| 168 | |
| 169 - Mail messages with lines longer than 4096 characters do not get | |
| 170 truncated anymore. | |
| 171 | |
| 94 | 172 - Fixed checking of the trusted group. Primary groups are now |
| 173 detected too. | |
| 174 | |
| 175 - Mservdetect's man page is now in section 1. | |
| 176 | |
| 177 - An `rmail' command is now included and gets installed with | |
| 178 masqmail. See docs/uucp-setup for more information. | |
| 179 | |
| 180 - Docs and thelike, that masqmail installs, is removed on uninstall | |
| 181 now. | |
| 182 | |
| 77 | 183 |
| 53 | 184 0.2.23 |
| 185 | |
| 186 - This release fixes a major bug in 0.2.22 which made online detection | |
| 187 by file unusable. Thanks to Juergen Daubert for reporting and providing | |
| 188 a patch. | |
| 189 | |
| 69 | 190 - Masqmail installs to /usr/local by default now. Previously it |
| 191 installed to /usr. To regain the old behavior, add | |
| 192 --prefix=/usr | |
| 193 to the configure call. | |
| 194 | |
| 195 - Man pages get installed again; in 0.2.22 they were not. Again thanks | |
| 196 to Juergen Daubert. Docs and examples do get installed now too. | |
| 197 | |
| 198 - Updated the docs. Moved the man pages from docs/ to man/. Added the | |
| 199 old manual from the old website to the distribution. Added a bug | |
| 200 reporting howto. | |
| 201 | |

203 0.2.22 |
| 41 | 204 |
| 205 - Hello, I'm meillo, the new maintainer and developer of masqmail. Oku | |
| 48 | 206 handed masqmail over to me, because he wasn't active anymore. |
| 41 | 207 |
| 208 - This release includes various fixes for problems in 0.2.21, mainly | |
| 209 based on bugs from Debian. | |
| 210 | |
| 211 - Distribution specific data has been excluded from the distribution, | |
| 48 | 212 but is separately available on the project's website. |
| 41 | 213 |
| 214 - Man pages will not be generated from xml sources in future, but the | |
| 215 nroff sources will be maintained directly. | |
| 216 | |
| 217 - The default online status file is now | |
| 218 /var/run/masqmail/masqmail-route, as it already was in the Debian | |
| 219 package. | |
| 220 | |
| 48 | 221 |
| 41 | 222 0.2.21 |
| 223 | |
| 224 - Retrospective: Probably, this version was not published in the usual | |
| 225 way by oku. I (meillo) grabbed it from Debian's package archive. It does | |
| 226 not introduce new functions but fixes security problems, such as writing | |
| 227 log files as user `mail'. It also changes the location for pid files; | |
| 228 they are stored in /var/run/masqmail/ now. | |
| 0 | 229 |
| 48 | 230 |
| 0 | 231 0.2.18 |
| 232 | |
| 48 | 233 - delivery warnings and failures are now also implemented if the |
| 0 | 234 connection to a server fails. Because masqmail is designed for dialup |
| 235 networks, a connection failure will merely generate a warning by default. | |
| 236 If you deliver in a local network and use the default local_net route, | |
| 237 this would generte a failure. You can change this behaviour by setting | |
| 41 | 238 'connect_error_fail' to either true or false in the route configurations. |
| 0 | 239 |
| 240 0.2.17 | |
| 241 | |
| 242 - delivery warnings have been finally implemented: if delivery of a mail | |
| 243 fails temporarily, warning mail will be generated, informing the sender | |
| 244 of the problem. After some time, the mail will be handled as failing | |
| 245 permanently, and be bounced. New options: 'warn_intervals', | |
| 246 'max_defer_time' and 'warnmsg_file'. | |
| 247 | |
| 248 - the message templates for failures and warnings will now be installed | |
| 249 into /usr/share/masqmail/tpl/, and no longer to /etc/masqmail/tpl/. The | |
| 250 default for the search path (options 'errmsg_file' and 'warnmsg_file' | |
| 251 has been changed accordingly. | |
| 252 | |
| 253 - new option 'last_route'. See man 5 masqmail.route. | |
| 254 | |
| 255 0.2.12 | |
| 256 two new options have been added: | |
| 257 - do_pipelining will be used only in broken mail setups. Actually, I | |
| 258 implemented it only to test such a setup. | |
| 259 | |
| 260 - helo_name for routes sets the helo_name. This may be useful for | |
| 261 eg. ssh tunneling, or if do_correcthelo does not work, because you are | |
| 262 behind a firewall. | |
| 263 | |
| 264 - the old 'remote_port' option should not be used any more. Set the | |
| 265 port with mail_host="foo.bar.com:1234" in the route file instead. | |
| 266 | |
| 267 0.2.11 | |
| 268 | |
| 269 - two new options have been added: do_save_envelope_to for the main | |
| 270 configuration and map_h_mail_followup_to_addresses for the route | |
| 271 files. See the man pages on purpose and usage. | |
| 272 | |
| 273 - the route files can now be mode 0400, owned by root. Previous | |
| 274 versions had problems when sendmail was called directly by a | |
| 275 non-priviledged user, because the route files could not be read. | |
| 276 | |
| 277 0.2.10 | |
| 278 | |
| 279 - this version should work on FreeBSD. At least I care now if it does not. | |
| 280 | |
| 281 - masqmail now writes pid files to /var/run/, one for the smtp/queue | |
| 282 daemon and one for the get daemon. So you now know whom to kill ;-) | |
| 283 | |
| 284 - much effort has been put into the Debian package, which now uses debconf. | |
| 285 | |
| 286 0.2.7 | |
| 287 | |
| 288 - sorry for my reluctany in the last months... | |
| 289 - my email address is oku@masqmail.cx. I hope that I keep this for the rest | |
| 290 of my life... | |
| 291 | |
| 292 0.2.6 | |
| 293 | |
| 294 - you can configure the prefered local delivery mechanism for each user. See | |
| 295 man page masqmail.conf (5), options mbox_default, mbox_users, mda_users and | |
| 296 maildir_users. BIT FAT NOTE: if you used an mda, set mbox_default = "mda" | |
| 297 (or use the mda_users option). Just setting mda is not enough any more. | |
| 298 | |
| 299 - there are the allowed_return_paths and not_allowed_return_paths for the | |
| 300 route configurations, this enables better checking for return path addresses | |
| 301 than allowed_mail_locals. You can also use this to enable or disable messages | |
| 302 from null sender addresses (<>) using "<>". | |
| 303 note: this option has been there for quite a time... I just forgot to document it. | |
| 304 | |
| 305 0.2.5 | |
| 306 | |
| 307 - simple relay checking: if you set do_relay=false in masqmail.conf, users | |
| 308 with a return path that is not local will get a 550 reply if they try to | |
| 309 deliver to a not local address. This is for users to force them to have a | |
| 310 proper configuration. It is _not_ to prevent spammers from using your MTA | |
| 311 as a relay, it can be easily forged! masqmail is not designed to be an always | |
| 312 accessible MTA for an internet site. | |
| 313 | |
| 314 - added Maildir support. To use it, add --enable-maildir as ./configure | |
| 315 optiom. Currently, if enabled, all local deliveries are to Maildir | |
| 316 (in ~user/Maildir), and none to mailbox. This is preliminary, future versions | |
| 317 will be configurable (probably together with mda delivery). | |
| 318 | |
| 319 0.2.4 | |
| 320 | |
| 321 - added -v option, this logs to stdout, so you see what happens when | |
| 322 calling masqmail from command line. This is not yet finished, and only | |
| 323 for fetching mails completed. | |
| 324 | |
| 325 0.2.3 | |
| 326 | |
| 327 - new option lock_dir where locks will be put to. Defaults to the spool | |
| 328 dir with '/lock/' appended (if spool_dir is /var/spool/masqmail/, lock_dir | |
| 329 is /var/spool/masqmail/lock/). | |
| 330 | |
| 331 - You can use the 'do_uidl_dele' option more reliably. The uidl list | |
| 332 will be written immediately after a message was fetched, so if you use the | |
| 333 do_uidl and do_uidl_dele option you can safely interrupt masqmail when it is | |
| 334 getting mail via pop3, and do not get the message again next time. | |
| 335 | |
| 336 - there are a lot of new options for ./configure to customize masqmail | |
| 337 to your needs. See INSTALL. | |
| 338 | |
| 339 - Uli Funcke sent a patch with the new options 'local_addresses' and | |
| 340 'not_local_addresses' for masqmail.conf. With these, you can declare single | |
| 341 email addresses as local, though they normally are not, and vice versa, | |
| 342 declare addresses as not local though normally they are (determined with | |
| 343 local_hosts). These options are not yet documented. | |
| 344 | |
| 345 0.2.2 | |
| 346 - with -go5m you can now run a get daemon, the command 'masqmail -go5m' will fetch | |
| 347 mail every five minutes, using the detected online configuration. | |
| 348 | |
| 349 0.2.1 | |
| 350 | |
| 351 - there is a new option for the main conf: online_gets. Using this option, | |
| 352 you can retrieve mail with just calling masqmail -go, masqmail will detect | |
| 41 | 353 whether it is online (similar to connect_routes (which is now called |
| 0 | 354 online_routes)). |
| 355 | |
| 356 0.2.0 | |
| 357 | |
| 358 This is the first release of he development branch of masqmail | |
| 359 | |
| 360 - the default configuration is now /etc/masqmail/masqmail.conf | |
| 361 (as it already was for the debian package). The --with-conffile | |
| 362 option for configure has been replaced by the --with-confdir option. | |
| 363 | |
| 364 - added delivery failure notices: | |
| 365 o you can customize your own delivery failure report, its | |
| 366 default location is /etc/masqmail/tpl/failmsg.tpl | |
| 367 o if a delivery via a route fails permanently (the server replied with a 5xx status) | |
| 368 the message will be bounced, if it is bounced, no further delivery will be attempted. | |
| 369 This is different to previous versions, where failed messages were kept in the queue until | |
| 370 it was finally delivered, deleted or forever. | |
| 371 | |
| 372 - there is a new online detection method: pipe. This allows you more | |
| 373 flexibility to detect the current online status, eg. the DHCP status on notebooks. | |
| 374 | |
| 375 This method will once replace the 'mserver' option, | |
| 376 you can already use the program mservdetect to use it: | |
| 377 | |
| 378 online_method=pipe | |
| 379 online_pipe="/usr/bin/mservdetect localhost 222" | |
| 380 | |
| 381 instead of | |
| 382 | |
| 41 | 383 online_detect=mserver |
| 0 | 384 mserver_iface="localhost:222" |
| 385 | |
| 386 0.1.9 | |
| 387 | |
| 388 - you can use pipes in routes to implement gateways to uucp, fax, sms etc. | |
| 389 The setup is similar to mda transport. See man pages. | |
| 390 | |
| 391 - for each connection (connect_routes), you can now give a list of | |
| 392 route files, which will be used in the order given. You can use the | |
| 393 filter rules (allowed_* and not_allowed_* rules) within each route. | |
| 394 | |
| 395 0.1.8 | |
| 396 | |
| 397 - for pop retrieval and smtp sending you can use a wrapper for eg. ssl | |
| 398 tunneling. See man pages. | |
| 399 | |
| 400 - a user can delete his mail from the spool with -Mrm if received | |
| 401 locally, and if you configure with --enable-ident and set | |
| 402 ident_trusted_nets also if received via smtp. | |
| 403 | |
| 404 - a backslash now works to escape characters in the configuration, so | |
| 405 you can now use quotes inside quotes. All other characters with a | |
| 406 leading backslash will be converted to itself (\a becomes a, \\ | |
| 407 becomes \). | |
| 408 | |
| 409 - you can now use an mda for local mails. The mda will be called | |
| 410 *after* alias expansion. See documentation for more. | |
| 411 | |
| 412 0.1.0 | |
| 413 - masqmail can now retrieve mail with pop3. See the manual on how to do that. | |
| 414 - supports now ESMTP AUTH as a client. | |
| 415 - when called with -qo (without a connection name), the online status | |
| 416 will be checked with the configured method. | |
| 417 | |
| 418 0.0.10 | |
| 419 - there is now alias support. Give the location of the alias file (usually /etc/aliases) with eg. | |
| 420 alias_file = "/etc/aliases" | |
| 421 - delivery to pipes is now possible, but only if it appears in an alias file. Example: | |
| 422 pipe: |/usr/bin/command | |
| 423 will expand the address pipe to "|/usr/bin/command" which invokes '/usr/bin/command' | |
| 424 as the user and group masqmail is running as. | |
| 425 - entries starting with '\' in alias files will not be exanded further | |
| 426 | |
| 427 - changed permissions for queue runs again: got to be root, mail or in group trusted. | |
| 428 | |
| 429 - some configuration parameters can be read from files, these are | |
| 430 allowed_mail_locals, not_allowed_mail_locals, allowed_rcpt_domains, not_allowed_rcpt_domains, | |
| 431 map_return_path_addresses, map_h_from_addresses, map_h_reply_to_addresses | |
| 432 any entry in these list beginning with a '/' are regarded as | |
| 433 filenames, the content of these will be put at that location. Entries | |
| 434 in these files are separated by new lines. Example: | |
| 435 in the route file you have: | |
| 436 map_h_from_addresses = "/etc/masqmail/hfrom.map" | |
| 437 and hfrom.map contains: | |
| 438 | |
| 439 john: John Smith <jsmith@mail.academic.edu> | |
| 440 cmiller: "Charlie Miller" <cmiller@foo.com> | |
| 441 | |
