Hi,

MIMEDefang 2.2 Beta 1 is available at:

http://www.roaringpenguin.com/mimedefang/mimedefang-2.2-BETA-1.tar.gz

ATTENTION: There is a new dependency (Digest::SHA1).  You can get
this package from:

http://www.roaringpenguin.com/mimedefang/Digest-SHA1-2.00.tar.gz

Install as usual: Unpack; perl Makefile.PL; make; make test; make install

What's New:
- -----------

Minor cleanups in the C driver code.

More comments in the Perl code.

A new action: action_replace_with_url (see mimedefang-filter(5) for details.)
The intention of this action is to handle large attachments gracefully.
If you receive a message with a large attachment, MIMEDefang can strip
it out, put it somewhere in your Web server's document tree, and replace
it with a link.  This has two important benefits:  Large attachments are
stored only once (rather than being copied for each recipient), and
dial-up POP3 users on the end of slow modem links do not have to download
large attachments when they first fetch their messages (but still have
access to them via http.)

Enjoy!
