This beta has significant internal changes.  Do not use it on a production
server.  However, please do test it if possible.

The major change is an overhaul of the file-based communication protocol
between the C glue and the Perl.  Instead of lots of little files,
we use only 3 files in the C-to-Perl direction, and (in the best case)
only 1 in the Perl-to-C direction.  See the mimedefang-protocol(7) man
page for details.

This change should make busy MIMEDefang installations much friendlier
to your hard disks, assuming you keep the spool directory on disk.

Complete changelog against 2.14 follows.

Regards,

David.

	* mimedefang.c: MAJOR internal change to communication mechanism
	between C and Perl.  Instead of lots of little files, the outbound
	(C to Perl) direction uses three files:

	INPUTMSG -- input message
	HEADERS  -- headers
	COMMANDS -- commands

	The inbound (Perl to C) uses (mostly) a single RESULTS file
	to pass results back.  If message is changed, we use a NEWBODY file.

	* mimedefang.pl.in (action_replace_with_warning): Try to keep
	warnings inline.
