[Mimedefang] MIMEDefang 2.10 Beta 4 is available

[David F. Skoll]

Hi,

MIMEDefang 2.10 Beta 4 is at:

http://www.roaringpenguin.com/mimedefang/mimedefang-2.10-BETA-4.tar.gz

This beta has a rather large change set compared to the previous beta
thanks to the hard work of Michael McLagan.

Big new feature:  Reliable append_text_boilerplate and append_html_boilerplate
functions.  To use append_html_boilerplate, you need the HTML::Parser Perl
module.  This *reliably* appends boilerplate text to HTML e-mail by
parsing it and sticking the boilerplate just before the </body> tag.

Other changes: Cleaned up documentation, a new set of contributed
files in contrib/linuxorg, and ability to pass SpamAssassin
configuration file name in spam_assassin_* calls.

I consider this to be "release candidate 1".  If there are no problems,
it will become 2.10 final.

Complete changelog follows.

Regards,

David.

        * mimedefang.pl.in: Added action_add_part

        * mimedefang-filter.5: Added description for action_add_part

        * examples/suggested-minimum-filter-for-windows-clients:
        Modified to use new function action_add_part

        * contrib/README: Added in linuxorg directory entry

        * contrib/linuxorg/README: A description of the files and how to
        install them.

        * contrib/linuxorg/filter: Included the filter file written for
        Linux Online & Linux Headquarters

        * contrib/linuxorg/spam-trusted-hosts: This lists hosts that we
        trust to insert proper SpamAssassin headers per the filter above.
        This file is a sample and it's empty.  NOTE from dfs:  Because
        this relies on message headers, it is possible to spoof, although
        real-world spammers would not likely do so.

        * contrib/linuxorg/spam-deliver: A collection of regex expressions
        which indicate email addresses to which SPAM mail is to be delivered
        to always, regardless of SpamAssassin's estimation of whether or not
        it is SPAM.  The sample file excludes abuse@ and postmaster@ from
        having their SPAM discarded

        * Makefile.in:         Modified install-redhat to create /etc/mail/mimedefang
        directory

        * Makefile.in: Modified to create mimedefang.spec from a .in file
        which will allow building BETA releases in addition to production ones.

        * redhat/mimedefang-spec.in: Created this file to use with above
        makefile change.  It's a copy of the old mimedefang.spec file which
        was in this directory.

        * mimedefang.pl.in: Added $config_file optional
        parameter to spam_assassin_* calls.

        * mimedefang-filter.5: Added optional $config_file to
        spam_assassin_* calls.  Added $OpenAVHost to list of global variables.

        * configure.in: dropped search for wvHtml since it's not used anymore

        * mimedefang.pl.in: Added append_text_boilerplate and
        append_html_boilerplate functions.  These actually add boilerplate
        text in a semi-sensible way that should work even with HTML
        mail.
