modes are now enforced exclusive
Other MTAs (exim, postfix) are more relaxing, but as combinations
of exclusive modes are senseless we behave more obvious if we
fail early. This makes understanding the behavior easier too.

| 159 | 45 0.3.0 |
| 46 | |
| 230 | 47 - Start of the new development branch. Attention: Backward |
| 48 compatibility with 0.2.x versions will *NOT* be maintained. Upgrading | |
| 49 from 0.2.x to 0.3.x will probably require manual adjustment of the | |
| 50 configuration. The script admin/config-tansition can be used to check | |
| 51 the config files for obsolete options. | |
| 52 | |
| 53 - Removed POP3 support (also pop-before-smtp/smtp-after-pop). Use some | |
| 54 other POP3 client instead. | |
| 55 | |
| 56 - Removed maildir support. Use an MDA, like procmail, to deliver to | |
| 57 maildir. | |
| 58 | |
| 59 - Removed the built-in mserver functionality. Use the mservdetect | |
| 60 program instead. See masqmail.conf(5) under `online_pipe' for details. | |
| 61 | |
| 62 - Removed --disable-smtp-server and --with-glib-static configure | |
| 63 options. We see no more need to not compile the SMTP server function. | |
| 64 For static linking, see docs/howto-static-linking. | |
| 65 | |
| 66 - `host_name' is the only mandatory config option now. If you only set | |
| 67 host_name, then masqmail will: | |
| 68 o accept mail on the command line | |
| 69 o listen on the local port 25 for incoming mail | |
| 70 o deliver mail locally | |
| 71 o not know how to handle mail for remote destinations | |
| 72 Therefore you should set up at least one route configuration. | |
| 73 | |
| 74 - Default values are available for: listen_addresses, local_hosts, | |
| 75 log_dir, spool_dir, mail_dir. See masqmail.conf(5) for the values. | |
| 76 | |
| 77 - Mservdetect works much better now. | |
| 78 | |
| 79 - Improved the documentation: | |
| 80 o Added setup guides | |
| 81 o Improved and simplified the example config | |
| 82 And removed the old manual because it is really outdated now. | |
| 83 | |
| 84 - Renamed misc/ to devel/ and contrib/ to admin/. devel/ contains | |
| 85 stuff for developers of masqmail, admin/ contains stuff for people who | |
| 86 install, upgrade, and configure masqmail. | |
| 87 | |
| 88 | |
| 89 0.2.28 | |
| 90 | |
| 91 - Added STARTTLS support with external wrappers like OpenSSL. See | |
| 92 `wrapper' and `instant_helo' in masqmail.route(5) for examples how to | |
| 93 use it. `instant_helo' is a new route config option. | |
| 94 | |
| 95 | |
| 96 0.2.27 | |
| 97 | |
| 98 - Replaced contributed code with possible licensing problems with | |
| 99 alternatives. The MD5 implementation changed from the reference | |
| 100 implementation of RFC 1321 to the Public Domain implementation of | |
| 101 Solar Designer. The HMAC-MD5 implementation changed from the reference | |
| 102 implementation of RFC 2104 to an own implementation (ISC License). | |
| 103 | |
| 104 - Added the authors of contributed parts to the AUTHORS file. | |
| 105 | |
| 106 | |
| 107 0.2.26 | |
| 108 | |
| 109 - Write a log message when the daemon starts up. Thanks to Juergen | |
| 110 Daubert. | |
| 111 | |
| 112 - Fix handling of --with-liblockfile=no or --without-liblockfile for | |
| 113 configure script. Thanks to Nico Roeser. | |
| 114 | |
| 115 - Improved the INSTALL file and some man pages. Thanks to Nico Roeser | |
| 116 Improved the documentation of the wrapper option of route files. | |
| 159 | 117 |
| 118 | |
| 126 | 119 0.2.25 |
| 120 | |
| 121 - Added server-side SMTP SIZE support. Thanks to Paolo. | |
| 122 | |
| 123 - Masqmail will from now on: | |
| 143 | 124 o always remove Bcc: headers |
| 125 o never create headers from envelope recipients | |
| 126 o add ``To: undisclosed-recipients:;'' if no recipient header (To: | |
| 126 | 127 or Cc:) is present in the mail |
| 128 | |
| 129 - Colons (`:') don't need to be quoted in the config file anymore. | |
| 130 Thanks to Paolo. | |
| 131 | |
| 143 | 132 - Added checks for too long addresses in SMTP dialog. Thanks to Paolo. |
| 133 | |
| 149 | 134 - Moved rmail to sbin and added a man page for it. |
| 135 | |
| 136 - Added warnmsg.tpl.it. Thanks to Paolo. | |
| 126 | 137 |
| 149 | 138 - The tests do not get installed any longer. All on install created |
| 139 dirs are removed on uninstall, except they contain generated data like | |
| 140 logs, spooled files, or configuration. | |
| 126 | 141 |
| 143 | 142 - Documented some, yet undocumented, config options. Several typo |
| 143 fixes in man pages and code comments. | |
| 126 | 144 |
| 145 | |
| 77 | 146 0.2.24 |
| 147 | |
| 148 - This version keeps on logging after an restart of the deamon, for | |
| 149 instance when sending SIGHUP to the daemon process for rereading its | |
| 150 config. | |
| 151 | |
| 152 - Now the daemon keeps the same process id when it receives SIGHUP to | |
| 153 reread the config. | |
| 154 | |
| 155 - Mail messages with lines longer than 4096 characters do not get | |
| 156 truncated anymore. | |
| 157 | |
| 94 | 158 - Fixed checking of the trusted group. Primary groups are now |
| 159 detected too. | |
| 160 | |
| 161 - Mservdetect's man page is now in section 1. | |
| 162 | |
| 163 - An `rmail' command is now included and gets installed with | |
| 164 masqmail. See docs/uucp-setup for more information. | |
| 165 | |
| 166 - Docs and thelike, that masqmail installs, is removed on uninstall | |
| 167 now. | |
| 168 | |
| 77 | 169 |
| 53 | 170 0.2.23 |
| 171 | |
| 172 - This release fixes a major bug in 0.2.22 which made online detection | |
| 173 by file unusable. Thanks to Juergen Daubert for reporting and providing | |
| 174 a patch. | |
| 175 | |
| 69 | 176 - Masqmail installs to /usr/local by default now. Previously it |
| 177 installed to /usr. To regain the old behavior, add | |
| 178 --prefix=/usr | |
| 179 to the configure call. | |
| 180 | |
| 181 - Man pages get installed again; in 0.2.22 they were not. Again thanks | |
| 182 to Juergen Daubert. Docs and examples do get installed now too. | |
| 183 | |
| 184 - Updated the docs. Moved the man pages from docs/ to man/. Added the | |
| 185 old manual from the old website to the distribution. Added a bug | |
| 186 reporting howto. | |
| 187 | |

189 0.2.22 |
| 41 | 190 |
| 191 - Hello, I'm meillo, the new maintainer and developer of masqmail. Oku | |
| 48 | 192 handed masqmail over to me, because he wasn't active anymore. |
| 41 | 193 |
| 194 - This release includes various fixes for problems in 0.2.21, mainly | |
| 195 based on bugs from Debian. | |
| 196 | |
| 197 - Distribution specific data has been excluded from the distribution, | |
| 48 | 198 but is separately available on the project's website. |
| 41 | 199 |
| 200 - Man pages will not be generated from xml sources in future, but the | |
| 201 nroff sources will be maintained directly. | |
| 202 | |
| 203 - The default online status file is now | |
| 204 /var/run/masqmail/masqmail-route, as it already was in the Debian | |
| 205 package. | |
| 206 | |
| 48 | 207 |
| 41 | 208 0.2.21 |
| 209 | |
| 210 - Retrospective: Probably, this version was not published in the usual | |
| 211 way by oku. I (meillo) grabbed it from Debian's package archive. It does | |
| 212 not introduce new functions but fixes security problems, such as writing | |
| 213 log files as user `mail'. It also changes the location for pid files; | |
| 214 they are stored in /var/run/masqmail/ now. | |
| 0 | 215 |
| 48 | 216 |
| 0 | 217 0.2.18 |
| 218 | |
| 48 | 219 - delivery warnings and failures are now also implemented if the |
| 0 | 220 connection to a server fails. Because masqmail is designed for dialup |
| 221 networks, a connection failure will merely generate a warning by default. | |
| 222 If you deliver in a local network and use the default local_net route, | |
| 223 this would generte a failure. You can change this behaviour by setting | |
| 41 | 224 'connect_error_fail' to either true or false in the route configurations. |
| 0 | 225 |
| 226 0.2.17 | |
| 227 | |
| 228 - delivery warnings have been finally implemented: if delivery of a mail | |
| 229 fails temporarily, warning mail will be generated, informing the sender | |
| 230 of the problem. After some time, the mail will be handled as failing | |
| 231 permanently, and be bounced. New options: 'warn_intervals', | |
| 232 'max_defer_time' and 'warnmsg_file'. | |
| 233 | |
| 234 - the message templates for failures and warnings will now be installed | |
| 235 into /usr/share/masqmail/tpl/, and no longer to /etc/masqmail/tpl/. The | |
| 236 default for the search path (options 'errmsg_file' and 'warnmsg_file' | |
| 237 has been changed accordingly. | |
| 238 | |
| 239 - new option 'last_route'. See man 5 masqmail.route. | |
| 240 | |
| 241 0.2.12 | |
| 242 two new options have been added: | |
| 243 - do_pipelining will be used only in broken mail setups. Actually, I | |
| 244 implemented it only to test such a setup. | |
| 245 | |
| 246 - helo_name for routes sets the helo_name. This may be useful for | |
| 247 eg. ssh tunneling, or if do_correcthelo does not work, because you are | |
| 248 behind a firewall. | |
| 249 | |
| 250 - the old 'remote_port' option should not be used any more. Set the | |
| 251 port with mail_host="foo.bar.com:1234" in the route file instead. | |
| 252 | |
| 253 0.2.11 | |
| 254 | |
| 255 - two new options have been added: do_save_envelope_to for the main | |
| 256 configuration and map_h_mail_followup_to_addresses for the route | |
| 257 files. See the man pages on purpose and usage. | |
| 258 | |
| 259 - the route files can now be mode 0400, owned by root. Previous | |
| 260 versions had problems when sendmail was called directly by a | |
| 261 non-priviledged user, because the route files could not be read. | |
| 262 | |
| 263 0.2.10 | |
| 264 | |
| 265 - this version should work on FreeBSD. At least I care now if it does not. | |
| 266 | |
| 267 - masqmail now writes pid files to /var/run/, one for the smtp/queue | |
| 268 daemon and one for the get daemon. So you now know whom to kill ;-) | |
| 269 | |
| 270 - much effort has been put into the Debian package, which now uses debconf. | |
| 271 | |
| 272 0.2.7 | |
| 273 | |
| 274 - sorry for my reluctany in the last months... | |
| 275 - my email address is oku@masqmail.cx. I hope that I keep this for the rest | |
| 276 of my life... | |
| 277 | |
| 278 0.2.6 | |
| 279 | |
| 280 - you can configure the prefered local delivery mechanism for each user. See | |
| 281 man page masqmail.conf (5), options mbox_default, mbox_users, mda_users and | |
| 282 maildir_users. BIT FAT NOTE: if you used an mda, set mbox_default = "mda" | |
| 283 (or use the mda_users option). Just setting mda is not enough any more. | |
| 284 | |
| 285 - there are the allowed_return_paths and not_allowed_return_paths for the | |
| 286 route configurations, this enables better checking for return path addresses | |
| 287 than allowed_mail_locals. You can also use this to enable or disable messages | |
| 288 from null sender addresses (<>) using "<>". | |
| 289 note: this option has been there for quite a time... I just forgot to document it. | |
| 290 | |
| 291 0.2.5 | |
| 292 | |
| 293 - simple relay checking: if you set do_relay=false in masqmail.conf, users | |
| 294 with a return path that is not local will get a 550 reply if they try to | |
| 295 deliver to a not local address. This is for users to force them to have a | |
| 296 proper configuration. It is _not_ to prevent spammers from using your MTA | |
| 297 as a relay, it can be easily forged! masqmail is not designed to be an always | |
| 298 accessible MTA for an internet site. | |
| 299 | |
| 300 - added Maildir support. To use it, add --enable-maildir as ./configure | |
| 301 optiom. Currently, if enabled, all local deliveries are to Maildir | |
| 302 (in ~user/Maildir), and none to mailbox. This is preliminary, future versions | |
| 303 will be configurable (probably together with mda delivery). | |
| 304 | |
| 305 0.2.4 | |
| 306 | |
| 307 - added -v option, this logs to stdout, so you see what happens when | |
| 308 calling masqmail from command line. This is not yet finished, and only | |
| 309 for fetching mails completed. | |
| 310 | |
| 311 0.2.3 | |
| 312 | |
| 313 - new option lock_dir where locks will be put to. Defaults to the spool | |
| 314 dir with '/lock/' appended (if spool_dir is /var/spool/masqmail/, lock_dir | |
| 315 is /var/spool/masqmail/lock/). | |
| 316 | |
| 317 - You can use the 'do_uidl_dele' option more reliably. The uidl list | |
| 318 will be written immediately after a message was fetched, so if you use the | |
| 319 do_uidl and do_uidl_dele option you can safely interrupt masqmail when it is | |
| 320 getting mail via pop3, and do not get the message again next time. | |
| 321 | |
| 322 - there are a lot of new options for ./configure to customize masqmail | |
| 323 to your needs. See INSTALL. | |
| 324 | |
| 325 - Uli Funcke sent a patch with the new options 'local_addresses' and | |
| 326 'not_local_addresses' for masqmail.conf. With these, you can declare single | |
| 327 email addresses as local, though they normally are not, and vice versa, | |
| 328 declare addresses as not local though normally they are (determined with | |
| 329 local_hosts). These options are not yet documented. | |
| 330 | |
| 331 0.2.2 | |
| 332 - with -go5m you can now run a get daemon, the command 'masqmail -go5m' will fetch | |
| 333 mail every five minutes, using the detected online configuration. | |
| 334 | |
| 335 0.2.1 | |
| 336 | |
| 337 - there is a new option for the main conf: online_gets. Using this option, | |
| 338 you can retrieve mail with just calling masqmail -go, masqmail will detect | |
| 41 | 339 whether it is online (similar to connect_routes (which is now called |
| 0 | 340 online_routes)). |
| 341 | |
| 342 0.2.0 | |
| 343 | |
| 344 This is the first release of he development branch of masqmail | |
| 345 | |
| 346 - the default configuration is now /etc/masqmail/masqmail.conf | |
| 347 (as it already was for the debian package). The --with-conffile | |
| 348 option for configure has been replaced by the --with-confdir option. | |
| 349 | |
| 350 - added delivery failure notices: | |
| 351 o you can customize your own delivery failure report, its | |
| 352 default location is /etc/masqmail/tpl/failmsg.tpl | |
| 353 o if a delivery via a route fails permanently (the server replied with a 5xx status) | |
| 354 the message will be bounced, if it is bounced, no further delivery will be attempted. | |
| 355 This is different to previous versions, where failed messages were kept in the queue until | |
| 356 it was finally delivered, deleted or forever. | |
| 357 | |
| 358 - there is a new online detection method: pipe. This allows you more | |
| 359 flexibility to detect the current online status, eg. the DHCP status on notebooks. | |
| 360 | |
| 361 This method will once replace the 'mserver' option, | |
| 362 you can already use the program mservdetect to use it: | |
| 363 | |
| 364 online_method=pipe | |
| 365 online_pipe="/usr/bin/mservdetect localhost 222" | |
| 366 | |
| 367 instead of | |
| 368 | |
| 41 | 369 online_detect=mserver |
| 0 | 370 mserver_iface="localhost:222" |
| 371 | |
| 372 0.1.9 | |
| 373 | |
| 374 - you can use pipes in routes to implement gateways to uucp, fax, sms etc. | |
| 375 The setup is similar to mda transport. See man pages. | |
| 376 | |
| 377 - for each connection (connect_routes), you can now give a list of | |
| 378 route files, which will be used in the order given. You can use the | |
| 379 filter rules (allowed_* and not_allowed_* rules) within each route. | |
| 380 | |
| 381 0.1.8 | |
| 382 | |
| 383 - for pop retrieval and smtp sending you can use a wrapper for eg. ssl | |
| 384 tunneling. See man pages. | |
| 385 | |
| 386 - a user can delete his mail from the spool with -Mrm if received | |
| 387 locally, and if you configure with --enable-ident and set | |
| 388 ident_trusted_nets also if received via smtp. | |
| 389 | |
| 390 - a backslash now works to escape characters in the configuration, so | |
| 391 you can now use quotes inside quotes. All other characters with a | |
| 392 leading backslash will be converted to itself (\a becomes a, \\ | |
| 393 becomes \). | |
| 394 | |
| 395 - you can now use an mda for local mails. The mda will be called | |
| 396 *after* alias expansion. See documentation for more. | |
| 397 | |
| 398 0.1.0 | |
| 399 - masqmail can now retrieve mail with pop3. See the manual on how to do that. | |
| 400 - supports now ESMTP AUTH as a client. | |
| 401 - when called with -qo (without a connection name), the online status | |
| 402 will be checked with the configured method. | |
| 403 | |
| 404 0.0.10 | |
| 405 - there is now alias support. Give the location of the alias file (usually /etc/aliases) with eg. | |
| 406 alias_file = "/etc/aliases" | |
| 407 - delivery to pipes is now possible, but only if it appears in an alias file. Example: | |
| 408 pipe: |/usr/bin/command | |
| 409 will expand the address pipe to "|/usr/bin/command" which invokes '/usr/bin/command' | |
| 410 as the user and group masqmail is running as. | |
| 411 - entries starting with '\' in alias files will not be exanded further | |
| 412 | |
| 413 - changed permissions for queue runs again: got to be root, mail or in group trusted. | |
| 414 | |
| 415 - some configuration parameters can be read from files, these are | |
| 416 allowed_mail_locals, not_allowed_mail_locals, allowed_rcpt_domains, not_allowed_rcpt_domains, | |
| 417 map_return_path_addresses, map_h_from_addresses, map_h_reply_to_addresses | |
| 418 any entry in these list beginning with a '/' are regarded as | |
| 419 filenames, the content of these will be put at that location. Entries | |
| 420 in these files are separated by new lines. Example: | |
| 421 in the route file you have: | |
| 422 map_h_from_addresses = "/etc/masqmail/hfrom.map" | |
| 423 and hfrom.map contains: | |
| 424 | |
| 425 john: John Smith <jsmith@mail.academic.edu> | |
| 426 cmiller: "Charlie Miller" <cmiller@foo.com> | |
| 427 | |
