masqmail

annotate NEWS @ 421:f37384470855

Changed lockdir to /var/lock/masqmail; Create lockdir and piddir on startup. Moved the lockdir out of the spool dir. (When /var/lock is a ramdisk we do well to have the lock files there.) Added the new configure option --with-lockdir to change that location. Nontheless, if we run_as_user, then lock files are always stored in the spool dir directly. Instead of installing the lockdir and piddir at installation time, we create them on startup time now if they are missing. This is necessary if lockdir or piddir are a tmpfs.

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
meillo@0 526 UPDATE (Jan 2000): The new home location of MasqMail is
