[Mimedefang] MIMEDefang 2.30-BETA-2 is available

[David F. Skoll]

Hi,

MIMEDefang 2.30-BETA-2 is available at:

	http://www.roaringpenguin.com/mimedefang/#download

The major change is a new "-M" flag to mimedefang(8).  This protects
the portion of the code that attempts to create a working directory
with a MUTEX.  Note that according to the POSIX threads standard, such
protection should *not* be necessary, because mkdir(2) is supposed to
be thread-safe and atomic.  However, some people have observed problems
on heavily-loaded Solaris machines; if you've seen error messages from
MIMEDefang complaining that it can't create a work directory, please
try the -M flag.

Full changelog to 2.29 follows.

Regards,

David.

	* Officially deprecated non-use of the multiplexor.  I plan
	on dropping support for non-multiplexor operation by 31 July 2003.

	* mimedefang.c: A few typos fixed.

	* mimedefang.c: Better syslog messages on certain system call failures.

	* mimedefang.c: Added -M option to protect work directory
	creation with a mutex.

	* mimedefang.pl.in: resend_message returns a meaningful value
	(true on success; false on failure.)

	* mimedefang.c (envfrom): Fix potential descriptor leak.  Problem
	noted by Nik Clayton.

	* mimedefang.c (envfrom): Fixed some incorrect syslog messages.
	Problem noted by Nik Clayton.

	* mimedefang-multiplexor.c: Add handling for filter_cleanup, that
	lets you run Perl code just before a slave is killed.  Based on
	a suggestion by Brian Landers.
