Hi,
MIMEDefang 2.20 is available at http://www.roaringpenguin.com/mimedefang/
Major changes:
o Do not fork/exec "/bin/rm" to clean up working directories. Instead,
use an internal C routine. This should improve performance.
o Many functions which copied files (action_quarantine and friends) now
try a hard-link first, and fall back to copy only if that fails. If you
keep your spool and quarantine directories on the same disk partition,
this change can improve performance a lot.
o Tightened up the default rules (thanks to Nik Clayton) to recognize
more extensions and be pickier about the CLSID attack.
Full changelog relative to 2.19 appended.
Regards,
David.

* Version 2.20 RELEASED
* mimedefang.pl.in: Quarantine functions try to make a
hard link when copying messages; fall back to actual copy
if hard link fails. This can greatly improve performance.
* examples/suggested-minimum-filter-for-windows-clients:
More "dangerous" extensions; tighter conditions for suspecting
CLSID attack (thanks to Nik Clayton).

2002-08-29 David F. Skoll <dfs at roaringpenguin.com>
* examples/suggested-minimum-filter-for-windows-clients:
Added three new "dangerous" extensions: .app, .fxp and .prg.
Thanks to Marco Berizzi.
* examples/suggested-minimum-filter-for-windows-clients:
Allow filenames like "foo at bar.com,innocuous.txt" rather
than choking on the ".com," part.
* mimedefang.c (cleanup): Use an internal C implementation of
"rm -rf" rather than forking and execing /bin/rm. This should
improve performance on heavily-loaded systems.
2002-08-25 David F. Skoll <dfs at roaringpenguin.com>
* configure.in: Added --with-user=LOGIN configure-time option.
We do not check for existence of this user at configure-time,
because it would complicate building of RPM.
* RPM creates "defang" user when installed.
* Cleaned up configure script to use AC_MSG_xxx instead of echo
in a lot of places.
