Hi,
Usual spot:
http://www.roaringpenguin.com/mimedefang/mimedefang-2.12-BETA-1.tar.gz
Major change: Added "-U" options to mimedefang and mimedefang-multiplexor
to let them run as non-root. They start as root to create their
sockets and pid-files in /var/run, but then drop privileges before
doing anything else. Please read the man pages and test carefully;
I think this is a major security improvement.
INCOMPATIBILITY: SpamAssassin before 1.6 is no longer supported. Future
versions of MIMEDefang will not work with SpamAssassin 1.5 and earlier.
Complete changelog since 2.11 follows.
Regards,
David.
