1 This file summarizes the (implementation) changes in a technical view.
3 The code repository log file provides the changes in full detail.
5 Have a look at the NEWS file for a summary of the changes in a less
6 technical speach and with focus on compatibility.

227 * speeded up accept.c for large messages (noted by Falko Flessner)
228 0.1.8:
229 * security bug fix (Debian Bug#81079): if local address cannot be

250 0.1.7:
251 * debug option can be changed for privileged users only

253 run_as_user and drops _all_ privileges

255 * wildcards for map_* options
256 * rearranged interface handling, IP addresses now possible for
257 listen_addresses and mserver_iface

280 * exit with 1 if queue run fails for any reason (not for daemon)
281 * fail if alias file cannot be read
282 * better handling of SMTP SIZE error
283 * implemented alias_local_caseless option (suggestion by Andre Masloch)

312 0.0.13:

322 * fixed bug: set local_net_routes to NULL if there is no local net
323 (noted by Frank Schnekenbuehl)
324 * say 'mail queue is empty' if mail queue is empty (Thanks to
325 Frank Schnekenbuehl)
326 * fixed bug: setegid in local.c (was noted by both Michael Piefel and
327 Alberto González Palomo)
328 0.0.11:
329 * if Bcc: headers have been removed (-t option), and there is no To:
330 or Cc: header,an empty Bcc: header will be created (RFC 822
331 compliance!)
332 * fixed bug: if rcpts are given on command line To: headers were
333 created, even if they already existed. This caused Bcc: recipient
334 addresses to be revealed if they were given on the cmd line.
335 Now a To: header is only created if there is no To:, Cc: or Bcc:
336 header. Thanks to Richard Clamp for pointing this out.

348 * internal changes in routing logics/deliver code, preparing for
349 aliases support.
350 * Gregor Hoffleit sent another patch: use liblockfile if available
351 (Debian!) and DESTDIR will be used. Also updated the NEWS file. Thanks
352 again!
353 * define fdatasync to fsync if not available.
354 * lookup.c includes sys/types.h, some environments need this
355 * fixed bug in RFC 822 parsing: name in brackets after address
356 caused problems. Thanks to David Maslen.
357 * values in tables without leading spaces
358 0.0.9:
359 * anyone in group 'trusted' is now allowed to do queue runs. Thanks to
360 Alberto Gonzalez Palomo for the suggestion.
361 * changed umask for spool writing to 026.
362 * removed silly 'no rcpt domain for this route' message
363 * there is now a mailing list
364 (see http://www.innominate.org/mailman/listinfo/masqmail)
365 * Gregor Hoffleit sent a patch to make masqmail work with mutt (and
366 balsa and any other MUA that uses the mutt libs): it now supports
367 '--' in options. Thanks!
368 * accept_message() supports flag ACC_NO_RECVD_HDR (but this is not
369 used in masqmail).
370 * accept_message() is no longer responsible for queuing, makes it
371 easier to recycle the code for other projects (eg. jpilot-Mail)
372 0.0.8:
373 * added a FAQ page.
374 * removed all warnings, at least for egcs. Output of make looks
375 pretty now ;-)
376 * added allowed_mail_locals and not_allowed_mail_locals options for
377 routes.
378 * implemented folding und unfolding of headers (but currently used
379 for the Received: header only).
380 * corrected docs: should be 'online_detect', NOT 'detect_online'.
381 * mailq now gives information about the time mails spent in the queue,
382 the message size and the received host.
383 * added allowed_rcpt_domains option for routes.
384 * increased buffer size to 1024 for SMTP responses when delivering.
385 * fixed minor bug: slash in unquoted strings in conf parsing was not
386 allowed.
387 0.0.7:
388 * fixed a bug in smtp_out.c: sock was tested before it was initialized.
389 * fixed a bug in the configuration code: for statements in two
390 adjacent lines, the second was not recognized.
391 0.0.6:
392 * rewrote part of the configuration parsing code because it caused
393 problems with reading config statements on multiple lines.
394 * added a LF after each mail local mail spool file, as this
395 seems to be required for some MUAs and especially cucipop when
396 it reads mails. Otherwise mails seem to be concatenated. Thanks
397 to Dale Perkel for pointing this out.
398 0.0.5:
399 * added expand_h_sender_domain option (boolean, default: true)
400 because some clients use the Sender: address as the sender address
401 (though it should be the From: address).
402 * changed configure script to better recognize whether libresolv
403 should be linked or not.
404 * fixed a nasty bug: if masqmail -q was called (or qo <name>
405 and a mail was not delivered), the headers were lost! Problem was an
406 additional LF after received_host in the spool file.
407 0.0.4:
408 * 'From' hack is now a 'From ' hack.
409 * configure now accepts options --with-logdir=LOGDIR and
410 --with-spooldir=SPOOLDIR.
411 * the directories /var/masqmail and /var/spool/masqmail will now be
412 created with make install; user and group will be set appropriately
413 * configure now accepts options --with-user=USER and --with-group=GROUP
414 * dove into autoconf: configure now recognizes libc5 and links with
415 libresolv only for libc6 and defines getline for libc5
416 * fixed timeout code when sending. This was broken in some earlier
417 version.
418 0.0.3:
419 * fixed bug in spool write code: rcpt address was written incorrectly
420 to spool file under some circumstances (with a LF).
421 * added methods for online detection (file and mserver) and added code
422 to deliver immediately when mail is received at online time.
423 * too many changes to list: rearranged routing code, unified smtp
424 deliveries to the local net with online deliveries, so now route
425 configurations can be used for the local net. Also multiple messages
426 per connection for the local net possible. And reduced code size.
427 * fixed bug: if server does not use neither the esmtp size extension
428 nor pipelining, output after MAIL FROM was not flushed. So MM waited
429 forever for a response...
430 0.0.2:
431 * fixed bug: euid was not set properly for local delivery
432 * when debugging, it does not write the whole message to the log
433 any more.
434 * added 'From' hack
435 * qualified address for return path and recipients is now required
436 if not accepted locally, if locally accepted the addresses will be
437 qualified with host_name. (Thereby fixed a seg fault bug)
438 * added -i option (same as -oi)
439 * added more header rewriting (set_ and map_ options)
440 * fixed bug: potential seg fault when writing spool files because it
441 was not read properly
442 * multiple messages per connection now also if mail is sent directly
443 (same for local_nets is still missing, but I will use routes for these
444 anyway in the future)
445 * the queue will now be read in random order
446 * implemented multiple messages per connection (but only online
447 and if mail_host is defined)
448 * implemented rewriting of local parts in return path for online
449 delivery
450 * domain matching is no longer case sensitive (had to define
451 _GNU_SOURCE so that I could use FNM_CASEFOLD for fnmatch)
452 * added do_correct_helo option for routes
453 * fixed bug: corrected retrying hosts if one failed (connect.c).
454 0.0.1:
455 * fixed bug: seg fault when delivering online directly and there was
456 more than one rcpt to a single host.
457 * fixed bug: if mail was succesfully delivered in online mode to all
458 rcpts, and if there were additional (local) rcpts for which the mail
459 was not yet delivered, the mail was deleted from spool.
460 * rearranged smtp_out.c to prepare for multiple messages per connection
461 * log now shows the real host a message is sent to by SMTP (previously
462 it was the one looked for, now it is the one that was found by DNS)
463 * added NOOP, HELP and not recognized replies in smtp_in
464 * fixed bug: forgot to close dup_sock in accept_connect (listen.c)
465 * can now list the queue with the -bp option or when called as mailq
466 * debug_level is now configurable and -d option added
467 * corrected rfc821 address parsing and rearranged code
468 0.0.0:
469 * initial release
