Hi,

MIMEDefang 2.12-final is at http://www.roaringpenguin.com/mimedefang/

Major changes since 2.11:

* Added support for RAV Anti-Virus.
* Added support for Trend Micro "vscan".
* If you use SpamAssassin, you must use 1.6 or higher (1.5 and earlier no
  longer supported).
* Added -U options to mimedefang and mimedefang-multiplexor to run as non-root.
* Warnings can now be placed in-line instead of in their own MIME part.
* Sample filter tightened up and code reorganized.
* Bug fix: We no longer convert "multipart/alternative" to "multipart/mixed".

Complete changelog follows.

Regards,

David.

	* Version 2.12 RELEASED

2002-05-23  David F. Skoll  <dfs at roaringpenguin.com>

	* suggested-minimum-filter-for-windows-clients: Moved SpamAssassin
	check to filter_end -- cleans up the code a bit.  Also reject
	filenames with curly brackets in them to prevent CLSID attacks.

	* mimedefang, mimedefang-multiplexor: Refuse to run suid or sgid.

	* mimedefang.pl.in: Do not convert "multipart/alternative" to
	"multipart/mixed."

	* We now have a Sparc/Solaris machine for development!  Thanks
	to Ben Kadish.

	* Fixed problem with not locating "libsm.a" on Solaris (and
	possibly other systems.)

2002-05-21  David F. Skoll  <dfs at roaringpenguin.com>

	* mimedefang.pl.in: Added support for Trend Micro "vscan"
	virus scanner, courtesy of Stephane Lentz.  Stephane considers
	the code alpha-quality...

	* mimedefang.pl.in: Use MIME::Word's "decode_mimewords" function
	instead of MIME::WordDecoder's "unmime".  The latter would sometimes
	refuse to accept certain character sets.  decode_mimewords is
	potentially lossy, but should be safer than unmime.

2002-05-18  David F. Skoll  <dfs at roaringpenguin.com>

	* mimedefang.c: Did away with need for getpwnam_r; we do one
	password lookup and save results instead of doing a lookup in each
	thread.

2002-05-17  David F. Skoll  <dfs at roaringpenguin.com>

	* drop_privs.c: Add thread-safe workaround for systems which
	lack the getpwnam_r function.

2002-05-17  David F. Skoll  <dfs at roaringpenguin.com>

	* drop_privs.c: Use reentrant getpwnam_r routine instead of
	non-thread-safe getpwnam.

	* mimedefang.pl.in: Added $AddWarningsInline variable to add
	warnings right in the e-mail message text itself instead of
	adding an additional MIME part.

	* mimedefang-filter.5: Fixed typo (changed append_add_part to
	action_add_part).

	* configure.in: Added --disable-check-perl-modules option to
	skip Perl module checks.  Do not use this option unless you
	know exactly what you're doing!!!

2002-05-15  David F. Skoll  <dfs at roaringpenguin.com>

	* Move default stats location to /var/log/mimedefang/stats to
	more easily accomodate -U option.

	* mimedefang.c: Added -U option to run as non-root user.

	* mimedefang-multiplexor.c: Added -U option to run as
	non-root user.

2002-05-14  Michael McLagan <Michael.McLagan at linux.org>

	* mimedefang.pl.in: Fixed RAV return code handling for non array
	requesting calls.

2002-05-14  David F. Skoll  <dfs at roaringpenguin.com>

	* examples/suggested-minimum-filter-for-windows-clients: Added
	to list of banned extensions (thanks to Mickey Hill.)

 2002-05-14  Michael McLagan <Michael.McLagan at linux.org>

	* mimedefang.pl.in: Added spam_assassin_object and spam_assassin_mail

	* mimedefang-filter.5: Added spam_assassin _object and _mail
	descriptions and cleaned up language.

	* configure.in: Require SpamAssassin version >= 1.6.  Removed the
	SAVER check as it's not used anywhere.

2002-05-13  Michael McLagan <Michael.McLagan at linux.org>

	* mimedefang.pl.in: Added Reliable AntiVirus

	* mimedefang-filter.5: Added Reliable AntiVirus

	* configure.in: Added Reliable AntiVirus
