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.
