Hi,
http://www.roaringpenguin.com/mimedefang/mimedefang-2.10-BETA-2.tar.gz is
available.
This version has major changes:
o All Perl functions have prototypes. Test your filter carefully! Sloppy
filters which call routines with the wrong number of arguments will no longer
compile.
o The sample filter has been fixed. It had errors. Also, we append the
SpamAssassin report as an attachment rather than using append_boilerplate.
o mimedefang.pl no longer adds a gratuitous level of nesting when rebuilding
MIME messages.
o Many new global variables:
$AdminName -- Full name of administrator
$AdminAddress -- E-mail address of administrator
$NotifySenderSubject -- Subject used by "action_notify_sender"
$NotifyAdministratorSubject -- Subject used by "action_notify_administrator"
$QuarantineSubject -- Subject used in quarantine reports
$NotifyNoPreamble -- Set it to 1 if you don't want a preamble in
action_notify_sender
$SALocalTestsOnly -- Set it to 1 if you only want "local_test" in
SpamAssassin.
If you do not touch these variables, they get sensible defaults preserving
the old behaviour.
o Added new %Features keys for run-time detection of virus scanners.
o Added support for F-Secure "fsav" anti-virus program.
o The multiplexor does not start all the slaves at once; instead, it does
so gently by waiting a short time after slave activation before starting
another. If you keep a large number of slaves running (high "-m" option),
this should make the multiplexor much kinder to your server.
Complete changelog is in the tar file. Acknowledgements to Michael McLagan
for prodding me to make most of these changes.
Regards,
David.
