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@379 10 0.3.4
meillo@379 11
meillo@379 12 - Reworked the route concept to be more general and have better
meillo@379 13 names: ``online_routes'' is now known as ``query_routes'' and the
meillo@379 14 ``local_net_route'' in now named ``permanent_routes''. Removed the idea
meillo@379 15 of the localnet because it is only part of the more general concept:
meillo@379 16 permanent routes. `local_nets' are now represented by `allowed_recipients'
meillo@379 17 in a permanent route. (See: examples/localnet.route) Now, there is no
meillo@379 18 more abiguity between `local' and `local net'. Run admin/config-transition
meillo@379 19 on your config to learn how to update it.
meillo@379 20
meillo@379 21 - Switched the default group for masqmail from `trusted' to `mail'.
meillo@379 22
meillo@379 23 - Fixed a problem with psb->remote_host, introduced in version 0.3.2
meillo@379 24 (changeset 412385b57dc4).
meillo@379 25
meillo@379 26 - Fixed a bug in matching of allowed recipients. Thanks to Juergen
meillo@379 27 Daubert for finding and reporting the issue.
meillo@379 28
meillo@379 29 - Configure options: Enabled auth support per default. Removed support
meillo@379 30 for openssl linking. It had been rarely used and could have caused
meillo@379 31 legal problems. We don't miss functionality here, because we already
meillo@379 32 have builtin MD5 support. Removed ident support, which is hardly useful
meillo@379 33 for masqmail.
meillo@379 34
meillo@379 35 - `local_hosts' now understands glob patterns like `*example.org'.
meillo@379 36
meillo@379 37
meillo@336 38 0.3.3
meillo@336 39
meillo@336 40 - Fixed a possible security problem, reported by John Lightsey. Unwanted
meillo@336 41 identity changes to the user root could have appeared.
meillo@336 42
meillo@338 43 - Fixed local-part only address patterns in route conditions, as already
meillo@338 44 described in the man page.
meillo@338 45
meillo@336 46
meillo@324 47 0.3.2
meillo@324 48
meillo@324 49 - Fixed an important bug with folded headers! In earlier versions mail
meillo@324 50 to many recipients may, in unpredictable cases, only have been
meillo@324 51 delivered to the ones on the first line. This is fixed now. Sorry for
meillo@324 52 the inconvenience.
meillo@324 53
meillo@324 54 - Reworked allowed and denied addrs for routes to be more consistent
meillo@324 55 and allow more flexible matching:
meillo@324 56 o allowed_mail_locals + allowed_return_paths -> allowed_senders
meillo@324 57 o not_allowed_mail_locals + not_allowed_return_paths -> denied_senders
meillo@324 58 o allowed_rcpt_domains -> allowed_recipients
meillo@324 59 o not_allowed_rcpt_domains -> denied_recipients
meillo@324 60 See man page masqmail.route(5).
meillo@324 61
meillo@324 62 - Reworked online_detect to the simpler online_query. Only pipe is
meillo@324 63 supported now. Use
meillo@324 64 online_query="/bin/cat /path/to/file"
meillo@324 65 instead of
meillo@324 66 online_detect=file
meillo@324 67 online_file=/path/to/file
meillo@324 68 and
meillo@324 69 online_query="/path/to/some/script foo"
meillo@324 70 instead of
meillo@324 71 online_detect=pipe
meillo@324 72 online_pipe="/path/to/some/script foo"
meillo@324 73 See man page masqmail.conf(5) and admin/config-transition.
meillo@324 74
meillo@324 75 - Removed protocol option from route config because it was somehow
meillo@324 76 redundant. Now, if `pipe' is set, the protocol will be pipe, otherwise
meillo@324 77 it'll be smtp.
meillo@324 78
meillo@324 79 - Now the Received headers are much friendlier to read. The header for
meillo@324 80 locally (i.e. non-SMTP) received mail is changed to the format postfix
meillo@324 81 uses.
meillo@324 82
meillo@324 83 - Several improvements to the man pages.
meillo@324 84
meillo@324 85 - Updated autoconf.
meillo@324 86
meillo@324 87
meillo@253 88 0.3.1
meillo@253 89
meillo@287 90 - Changed the SMTP greeting behavior to match RFC 2821 (always try EHLO
meillo@287 91 first). Now always an EHLO greeting is sent first, no matter what kind of
meillo@287 92 greeting text the server had sent. If the EHLO failes, an HELO greeting
meillo@287 93 is tried as fall back. This change will fix setups in which it hadn't
meillo@287 94 been possible to send mail because the server required AUTH but hadn't
meillo@287 95 said ``ESMTP'' in its greeting message. Thanks to inne for pointing me
meillo@287 96 on that. This fixes also Debian bug #349211.
meillo@253 97
meillo@253 98 - The postmaster address is now matched caseless, as required by RFC.
meillo@253 99
meillo@291 100 - -qo (without argument) is now considered obsolete. Its behavior (online
meillo@291 101 detect and send over the available route) is included in -q. One may
meillo@291 102 simply use -q instead. In the -qo case no local mail is sent, but why
meillo@291 103 would be not want to do so? -qo (without arg) is still working but will
meillo@291 104 likely change its behavior to something more useful in the future.
meillo@291 105
meillo@287 106 - Command line address arguments are now added to the recipient
meillo@287 107 list instead of substracted, when -t is used. This coveres a rare
meillo@287 108 corner-case. It is a change from exim's behavior to postfix's.
meillo@287 109
meillo@287 110 - Several changes were made related to the operation modes: The situation
meillo@287 111 within the modes was made clear (see man page of masqmail(8)). If more
meillo@287 112 than one mode is specified then masqmail aborts. For the default operation
meillo@287 113 mode ``accept messages on stdin'' the command line switch -bm was added
meillo@287 114 (similar to othe MTAs). If masqmail is called without arguments, the
meillo@287 115 version information is printed now.
meillo@287 116
meillo@253 117 - The command line option -m is recognized now (although ignored).
meillo@253 118 Unknown -oXXX options are ignored. Some software (like spost of nmh)
meillo@253 119 calls the MTA with -m. This is mainly a relict of old sendmail times
meillo@253 120 but needed for compatibility.
meillo@253 121
meillo@258 122 - The implementation of the command line option -oem had been
meillo@258 123 weird. Now specifying -oem or -oee results in a (some kind of dumb but)
meillo@258 124 logical behavior. Common users will probably not notice any difference.
meillo@258 125 The changes affect only the exit code of the corner-case: Calling masqmail
meillo@258 126 with -oem but without -oi/-i while submitting messages on stdin.
meillo@258 127
meillo@287 128 - Fixed the recognition of lists of unqualified addresses in headers
meillo@287 129 when using -t. E.g. `To: alice, bob'.
meillo@287 130
meillo@253 131 - Renamed the config file option `alias_local_caseless' to
meillo@253 132 `caseless_matching' because the option affects any address matching.
meillo@253 133
meillo@253 134 - Renamed the default route for the local network to
meillo@253 135 `default local_net_route'. This is only of interest for log/debug file
meillo@253 136 studies.
meillo@253 137
meillo@253 138 - Improved and updated the man page for masqmail(8), especially in
meillo@253 139 respect to -oem which appears to be wrongly implemented. Minor
meillo@253 140 improvements of debug messages.
meillo@253 141
meillo@253 142
meillo@159 143 0.3.0
meillo@159 144
meillo@230 145 - Start of the new development branch. Attention: Backward
meillo@230 146 compatibility with 0.2.x versions will *NOT* be maintained. Upgrading
meillo@230 147 from 0.2.x to 0.3.x will probably require manual adjustment of the
meillo@230 148 configuration. The script admin/config-tansition can be used to check
meillo@230 149 the config files for obsolete options.
meillo@230 150
meillo@230 151 - Removed POP3 support (also pop-before-smtp/smtp-after-pop). Use some
meillo@230 152 other POP3 client instead.
meillo@230 153
meillo@230 154 - Removed maildir support. Use an MDA, like procmail, to deliver to
meillo@230 155 maildir.
meillo@230 156
meillo@230 157 - Removed the built-in mserver functionality. Use the mservdetect
meillo@230 158 program instead. See masqmail.conf(5) under `online_pipe' for details.
meillo@230 159
meillo@230 160 - Removed --disable-smtp-server and --with-glib-static configure
meillo@230 161 options. We see no more need to not compile the SMTP server function.
meillo@230 162 For static linking, see docs/howto-static-linking.
meillo@230 163
meillo@230 164 - `host_name' is the only mandatory config option now. If you only set
meillo@230 165 host_name, then masqmail will:
meillo@230 166 o accept mail on the command line
meillo@230 167 o listen on the local port 25 for incoming mail
meillo@230 168 o deliver mail locally
meillo@230 169 o not know how to handle mail for remote destinations
meillo@230 170 Therefore you should set up at least one route configuration.
meillo@230 171
meillo@230 172 - Default values are available for: listen_addresses, local_hosts,
meillo@230 173 log_dir, spool_dir, mail_dir. See masqmail.conf(5) for the values.
meillo@230 174
meillo@230 175 - Mservdetect works much better now.
meillo@230 176
meillo@230 177 - Improved the documentation:
meillo@230 178 o Added setup guides
meillo@230 179 o Improved and simplified the example config
meillo@230 180 And removed the old manual because it is really outdated now.
meillo@230 181
meillo@230 182 - Renamed misc/ to devel/ and contrib/ to admin/. devel/ contains
meillo@230 183 stuff for developers of masqmail, admin/ contains stuff for people who
meillo@230 184 install, upgrade, and configure masqmail.
meillo@230 185
meillo@230 186
meillo@230 187 0.2.28
meillo@230 188
meillo@230 189 - Added STARTTLS support with external wrappers like OpenSSL. See
meillo@230 190 `wrapper' and `instant_helo' in masqmail.route(5) for examples how to
meillo@230 191 use it. `instant_helo' is a new route config option.
meillo@230 192
meillo@230 193
meillo@230 194 0.2.27
meillo@230 195
meillo@230 196 - Replaced contributed code with possible licensing problems with
meillo@230 197 alternatives. The MD5 implementation changed from the reference
meillo@230 198 implementation of RFC 1321 to the Public Domain implementation of
meillo@230 199 Solar Designer. The HMAC-MD5 implementation changed from the reference
meillo@230 200 implementation of RFC 2104 to an own implementation (ISC License).
meillo@230 201
meillo@230 202 - Added the authors of contributed parts to the AUTHORS file.
meillo@230 203
meillo@230 204
meillo@230 205 0.2.26
meillo@230 206
meillo@230 207 - Write a log message when the daemon starts up. Thanks to Juergen
meillo@230 208 Daubert.
meillo@230 209
meillo@230 210 - Fix handling of --with-liblockfile=no or --without-liblockfile for
meillo@230 211 configure script. Thanks to Nico Roeser.
meillo@230 212
meillo@230 213 - Improved the INSTALL file and some man pages. Thanks to Nico Roeser
meillo@230 214 Improved the documentation of the wrapper option of route files.
meillo@159 215
meillo@159 216
meillo@126 217 0.2.25
meillo@126 218
meillo@126 219 - Added server-side SMTP SIZE support. Thanks to Paolo.
meillo@126 220
meillo@126 221 - Masqmail will from now on:
meillo@143 222 o always remove Bcc: headers
meillo@143 223 o never create headers from envelope recipients
meillo@143 224 o add ``To: undisclosed-recipients:;'' if no recipient header (To:
meillo@126 225 or Cc:) is present in the mail
meillo@126 226
meillo@126 227 - Colons (`:') don't need to be quoted in the config file anymore.
meillo@126 228 Thanks to Paolo.
meillo@126 229
meillo@143 230 - Added checks for too long addresses in SMTP dialog. Thanks to Paolo.
meillo@143 231
meillo@149 232 - Moved rmail to sbin and added a man page for it.
meillo@126 233
meillo@149 234 - Added warnmsg.tpl.it. Thanks to Paolo.
meillo@149 235
meillo@149 236 - The tests do not get installed any longer. All on install created
meillo@149 237 dirs are removed on uninstall, except they contain generated data like
meillo@149 238 logs, spooled files, or configuration.
meillo@126 239
meillo@143 240 - Documented some, yet undocumented, config options. Several typo
meillo@143 241 fixes in man pages and code comments.
meillo@126 242
meillo@126 243
meillo@77 244 0.2.24
meillo@77 245
meillo@77 246 - This version keeps on logging after an restart of the deamon, for
meillo@77 247 instance when sending SIGHUP to the daemon process for rereading its
meillo@77 248 config.
meillo@77 249
meillo@77 250 - Now the daemon keeps the same process id when it receives SIGHUP to
meillo@77 251 reread the config.
meillo@77 252
meillo@77 253 - Mail messages with lines longer than 4096 characters do not get
meillo@77 254 truncated anymore.
meillo@77 255
meillo@94 256 - Fixed checking of the trusted group. Primary groups are now
meillo@94 257 detected too.
meillo@94 258
meillo@94 259 - Mservdetect's man page is now in section 1.
meillo@94 260
meillo@94 261 - An `rmail' command is now included and gets installed with
meillo@94 262 masqmail. See docs/uucp-setup for more information.
meillo@94 263
meillo@94 264 - Docs and thelike, that masqmail installs, is removed on uninstall
meillo@94 265 now.
meillo@94 266
meillo@77 267
meillo@53 268 0.2.23
meillo@53 269
meillo@53 270 - This release fixes a major bug in 0.2.22 which made online detection
meillo@53 271 by file unusable. Thanks to Juergen Daubert for reporting and providing
meillo@53 272 a patch.
meillo@53 273
meillo@69 274 - Masqmail installs to /usr/local by default now. Previously it
meillo@69 275 installed to /usr. To regain the old behavior, add
meillo@69 276 --prefix=/usr
meillo@69 277 to the configure call.
meillo@69 278
meillo@69 279 - Man pages get installed again; in 0.2.22 they were not. Again thanks
meillo@69 280 to Juergen Daubert. Docs and examples do get installed now too.
meillo@69 281
meillo@69 282 - Updated the docs. Moved the man pages from docs/ to man/. Added the
meillo@69 283 old manual from the old website to the distribution. Added a bug
meillo@69 284 reporting howto.
meillo@69 285
meillo@53 286
meillo@42 287 0.2.22
meillo@41 288
meillo@41 289 - Hello, I'm meillo, the new maintainer and developer of masqmail. Oku
meillo@48 290 handed masqmail over to me, because he wasn't active anymore.
meillo@41 291
meillo@41 292 - This release includes various fixes for problems in 0.2.21, mainly
meillo@41 293 based on bugs from Debian.
meillo@41 294
meillo@41 295 - Distribution specific data has been excluded from the distribution,
meillo@48 296 but is separately available on the project's website.
meillo@41 297
meillo@41 298 - Man pages will not be generated from xml sources in future, but the
meillo@41 299 nroff sources will be maintained directly.
meillo@41 300
meillo@41 301 - The default online status file is now
meillo@41 302 /var/run/masqmail/masqmail-route, as it already was in the Debian
meillo@41 303 package.
meillo@41 304
meillo@48 305
meillo@41 306 0.2.21
meillo@41 307
meillo@41 308 - Retrospective: Probably, this version was not published in the usual
meillo@41 309 way by oku. I (meillo) grabbed it from Debian's package archive. It does
meillo@41 310 not introduce new functions but fixes security problems, such as writing
meillo@41 311 log files as user `mail'. It also changes the location for pid files;
meillo@41 312 they are stored in /var/run/masqmail/ now.
meillo@0 313
meillo@48 314
meillo@0 315 0.2.18
meillo@0 316
meillo@48 317 - delivery warnings and failures are now also implemented if the
meillo@0 318 connection to a server fails. Because masqmail is designed for dialup
meillo@0 319 networks, a connection failure will merely generate a warning by default.
meillo@0 320 If you deliver in a local network and use the default local_net route,
meillo@0 321 this would generte a failure. You can change this behaviour by setting
meillo@41 322 'connect_error_fail' to either true or false in the route configurations.
meillo@0 323
meillo@0 324 0.2.17
meillo@0 325
meillo@0 326 - delivery warnings have been finally implemented: if delivery of a mail
meillo@0 327 fails temporarily, warning mail will be generated, informing the sender
meillo@0 328 of the problem. After some time, the mail will be handled as failing
meillo@0 329 permanently, and be bounced. New options: 'warn_intervals',
meillo@0 330 'max_defer_time' and 'warnmsg_file'.
meillo@0 331
meillo@0 332 - the message templates for failures and warnings will now be installed
meillo@0 333 into /usr/share/masqmail/tpl/, and no longer to /etc/masqmail/tpl/. The
meillo@0 334 default for the search path (options 'errmsg_file' and 'warnmsg_file'
meillo@0 335 has been changed accordingly.
meillo@0 336
meillo@0 337 - new option 'last_route'. See man 5 masqmail.route.
meillo@0 338
meillo@0 339 0.2.12
meillo@0 340 two new options have been added:
meillo@0 341 - do_pipelining will be used only in broken mail setups. Actually, I
meillo@0 342 implemented it only to test such a setup.
meillo@0 343
meillo@0 344 - helo_name for routes sets the helo_name. This may be useful for
meillo@0 345 eg. ssh tunneling, or if do_correcthelo does not work, because you are
meillo@0 346 behind a firewall.
meillo@0 347
meillo@0 348 - the old 'remote_port' option should not be used any more. Set the
meillo@0 349 port with mail_host="foo.bar.com:1234" in the route file instead.
meillo@0 350
meillo@0 351 0.2.11
meillo@0 352
meillo@0 353 - two new options have been added: do_save_envelope_to for the main
meillo@0 354 configuration and map_h_mail_followup_to_addresses for the route
meillo@0 355 files. See the man pages on purpose and usage.
meillo@0 356
meillo@0 357 - the route files can now be mode 0400, owned by root. Previous
meillo@0 358 versions had problems when sendmail was called directly by a
meillo@0 359 non-priviledged user, because the route files could not be read.
meillo@0 360
meillo@0 361 0.2.10
meillo@0 362
meillo@0 363 - this version should work on FreeBSD. At least I care now if it does not.
meillo@0 364
meillo@0 365 - masqmail now writes pid files to /var/run/, one for the smtp/queue
meillo@0 366 daemon and one for the get daemon. So you now know whom to kill ;-)
meillo@0 367
meillo@0 368 - much effort has been put into the Debian package, which now uses debconf.
meillo@0 369
meillo@0 370 0.2.7
meillo@0 371
meillo@0 372 - sorry for my reluctany in the last months...
meillo@0 373 - my email address is oku@masqmail.cx. I hope that I keep this for the rest
meillo@0 374 of my life...
meillo@0 375
meillo@0 376 0.2.6
meillo@0 377
meillo@0 378 - you can configure the prefered local delivery mechanism for each user. See
meillo@0 379 man page masqmail.conf (5), options mbox_default, mbox_users, mda_users and
meillo@0 380 maildir_users. BIT FAT NOTE: if you used an mda, set mbox_default = "mda"
meillo@0 381 (or use the mda_users option). Just setting mda is not enough any more.
meillo@0 382
meillo@0 383 - there are the allowed_return_paths and not_allowed_return_paths for the
meillo@0 384 route configurations, this enables better checking for return path addresses
meillo@0 385 than allowed_mail_locals. You can also use this to enable or disable messages
meillo@0 386 from null sender addresses (<>) using "<>".
meillo@0 387 note: this option has been there for quite a time... I just forgot to document it.
meillo@0 388
meillo@0 389 0.2.5
meillo@0 390
meillo@0 391 - simple relay checking: if you set do_relay=false in masqmail.conf, users
meillo@0 392 with a return path that is not local will get a 550 reply if they try to
meillo@0 393 deliver to a not local address. This is for users to force them to have a
meillo@0 394 proper configuration. It is _not_ to prevent spammers from using your MTA
meillo@0 395 as a relay, it can be easily forged! masqmail is not designed to be an always
meillo@0 396 accessible MTA for an internet site.
meillo@0 397
meillo@0 398 - added Maildir support. To use it, add --enable-maildir as ./configure
meillo@0 399 optiom. Currently, if enabled, all local deliveries are to Maildir
meillo@0 400 (in ~user/Maildir), and none to mailbox. This is preliminary, future versions
meillo@0 401 will be configurable (probably together with mda delivery).
meillo@0 402
meillo@0 403 0.2.4
meillo@0 404
meillo@0 405 - added -v option, this logs to stdout, so you see what happens when
meillo@0 406 calling masqmail from command line. This is not yet finished, and only
meillo@0 407 for fetching mails completed.
meillo@0 408
meillo@0 409 0.2.3
meillo@0 410
meillo@0 411 - new option lock_dir where locks will be put to. Defaults to the spool
meillo@0 412 dir with '/lock/' appended (if spool_dir is /var/spool/masqmail/, lock_dir
meillo@0 413 is /var/spool/masqmail/lock/).
meillo@0 414
meillo@0 415 - You can use the 'do_uidl_dele' option more reliably. The uidl list
meillo@0 416 will be written immediately after a message was fetched, so if you use the
meillo@0 417 do_uidl and do_uidl_dele option you can safely interrupt masqmail when it is
meillo@0 418 getting mail via pop3, and do not get the message again next time.
meillo@0 419
meillo@0 420 - there are a lot of new options for ./configure to customize masqmail
meillo@0 421 to your needs. See INSTALL.
meillo@0 422
meillo@0 423 - Uli Funcke sent a patch with the new options 'local_addresses' and
meillo@0 424 'not_local_addresses' for masqmail.conf. With these, you can declare single
meillo@0 425 email addresses as local, though they normally are not, and vice versa,
meillo@0 426 declare addresses as not local though normally they are (determined with
meillo@0 427 local_hosts). These options are not yet documented.
meillo@0 428
meillo@0 429 0.2.2
meillo@0 430 - with -go5m you can now run a get daemon, the command 'masqmail -go5m' will fetch
meillo@0 431 mail every five minutes, using the detected online configuration.
meillo@0 432
meillo@0 433 0.2.1
meillo@0 434
meillo@0 435 - there is a new option for the main conf: online_gets. Using this option,
meillo@0 436 you can retrieve mail with just calling masqmail -go, masqmail will detect
meillo@41 437 whether it is online (similar to connect_routes (which is now called
meillo@0 438 online_routes)).
meillo@0 439
meillo@0 440 0.2.0
meillo@0 441
meillo@0 442 This is the first release of he development branch of masqmail
meillo@0 443
meillo@0 444 - the default configuration is now /etc/masqmail/masqmail.conf
meillo@0 445 (as it already was for the debian package). The --with-conffile
meillo@0 446 option for configure has been replaced by the --with-confdir option.
meillo@0 447
meillo@0 448 - added delivery failure notices:
meillo@0 449 o you can customize your own delivery failure report, its
meillo@0 450 default location is /etc/masqmail/tpl/failmsg.tpl
meillo@0 451 o if a delivery via a route fails permanently (the server replied with a 5xx status)
meillo@0 452 the message will be bounced, if it is bounced, no further delivery will be attempted.
meillo@0 453 This is different to previous versions, where failed messages were kept in the queue until
meillo@0 454 it was finally delivered, deleted or forever.
meillo@0 455
meillo@0 456 - there is a new online detection method: pipe. This allows you more
meillo@0 457 flexibility to detect the current online status, eg. the DHCP status on notebooks.
meillo@0 458
meillo@0 459 This method will once replace the 'mserver' option,
meillo@0 460 you can already use the program mservdetect to use it:
meillo@0 461
meillo@0 462 online_method=pipe
meillo@0 463 online_pipe="/usr/bin/mservdetect localhost 222"
meillo@0 464
meillo@0 465 instead of
meillo@0 466
meillo@41 467 online_detect=mserver
meillo@0 468 mserver_iface="localhost:222"
meillo@0 469
meillo@0 470 0.1.9
meillo@0 471
meillo@0 472 - you can use pipes in routes to implement gateways to uucp, fax, sms etc.
meillo@0 473 The setup is similar to mda transport. See man pages.
meillo@0 474
meillo@0 475 - for each connection (connect_routes), you can now give a list of
meillo@0 476 route files, which will be used in the order given. You can use the
meillo@0 477 filter rules (allowed_* and not_allowed_* rules) within each route.
meillo@0 478
meillo@0 479 0.1.8
meillo@0 480
meillo@0 481 - for pop retrieval and smtp sending you can use a wrapper for eg. ssl
meillo@0 482 tunneling. See man pages.
meillo@0 483
meillo@0 484 - a user can delete his mail from the spool with -Mrm if received
meillo@0 485 locally, and if you configure with --enable-ident and set
meillo@0 486 ident_trusted_nets also if received via smtp.
meillo@0 487
meillo@0 488 - a backslash now works to escape characters in the configuration, so
meillo@0 489 you can now use quotes inside quotes. All other characters with a
meillo@0 490 leading backslash will be converted to itself (\a becomes a, \\
meillo@0 491 becomes \).
meillo@0 492
meillo@0 493 - you can now use an mda for local mails. The mda will be called
meillo@0 494 *after* alias expansion. See documentation for more.
meillo@0 495
meillo@0 496 0.1.0
meillo@0 497 - masqmail can now retrieve mail with pop3. See the manual on how to do that.
meillo@0 498 - supports now ESMTP AUTH as a client.
meillo@0 499 - when called with -qo (without a connection name), the online status
meillo@0 500 will be checked with the configured method.
meillo@0 501
meillo@0 502 0.0.10
meillo@0 503 - there is now alias support. Give the location of the alias file (usually /etc/aliases) with eg.
meillo@0 504 alias_file = "/etc/aliases"
meillo@0 505 - delivery to pipes is now possible, but only if it appears in an alias file. Example:
meillo@0 506 pipe: |/usr/bin/command
meillo@0 507 will expand the address pipe to "|/usr/bin/command" which invokes '/usr/bin/command'
meillo@0 508 as the user and group masqmail is running as.
meillo@0 509 - entries starting with '\' in alias files will not be exanded further
meillo@0 510
meillo@0 511 - changed permissions for queue runs again: got to be root, mail or in group trusted.
meillo@0 512
meillo@0 513 - some configuration parameters can be read from files, these are
meillo@0 514 allowed_mail_locals, not_allowed_mail_locals, allowed_rcpt_domains, not_allowed_rcpt_domains,
meillo@0 515 map_return_path_addresses, map_h_from_addresses, map_h_reply_to_addresses
meillo@0 516 any entry in these list beginning with a '/' are regarded as
meillo@0 517 filenames, the content of these will be put at that location. Entries
meillo@0 518 in these files are separated by new lines. Example:
meillo@0 519 in the route file you have:
meillo@0 520 map_h_from_addresses = "/etc/masqmail/hfrom.map"
meillo@0 521 and hfrom.map contains:
meillo@0 522
meillo@0 523 john: John Smith <jsmith@mail.academic.edu>
meillo@0 524 cmiller: "Charlie Miller" <cmiller@foo.com>
meillo@0 525
