Hi,
I have released 2.2 final at the usual place:
http://www.roaringpenguin.com/mimedefang/
Here are all the changes since 2.1:
Major feature enhancements:
- ---------------------------
o Added action_replace_with_url. This strips out a mail part and replaces
it with a URL. You can use this to put large attachments on a Web server
and make life easier for POP3 users on the end of a slow modem link.
o Added stream_by_domain to allow administrators to use different scanning
rule sets for different domains. Very useful if you host virtual domains.
o Added resend_message (used by stream_by_domain) to resend the original
message.
o Added add_recipient and del_recipient functions to add/delete envelope
recipients.
o Added action_notify_administrator to send notices to MIMEDefang
administrator (as suggested by Randy Fox.)
Bug fixes, security fixes, etc:
- -------------------------------
o Do not add X-Scanned-By header if an identical header exists already.
o Name quarantine directories based on time for easy sorting.
o Error messages from the Perl filters are logged to syslog at DEBUG level.
This should make tracking down filter problems much easier.
o If the filter fails, an SMTP "temporary-failure" code is issued. This is
far safer than the old mechanism of adding an "X-MIMEDefang-Warning:" header
and allowing the mail through.
o Clarified the effect of the "-f" flag in mimedefang manual pages.
o Configure script checks for prerequisite Perl modules.
MIMEDefang 2.2 is the best version yet; I strongly recommend that all
MIMEDefang users upgrade.
