Hi,

MIMEDefang 2.44-BETA-1 is available at http://www.mimedefang.org/node.php?id=1

The main purpose of this release is to support some of the new goodies
in Sendmail 8.13.  It should compile and work fine with earlier versions too;
you just won't be able to use the new features.

The two major new features are support for Sendmail's SOCKETMAP map type,
and the QUARANTINE feature of Sendmail 8.13 (something quite different from
MIMEDefang's built-in quarantine feature.)

To test these new features, you'll need to build Sendmail 8.13 with
SOCKETMAP support.  Do this by adding:

	APPENDDEF(`confMAPDEF', `-DSOCKETMAP')

to your devtools/Site/site.config.m4 file.

Complete changelog to 2.43 follows.

Regards,

David.

	* Version 2.44-BETA-1 released.

	* NEW: Support for Sendmail's SOCKETMAP map class.  See
	mimedefang-filter(5) and mimedefang-multiplexor(8) for details.
	This code has been present for a long time, but was commented
	out; it is now enabled.

	* NEW: Support for Sendmail's QUARANTINE feature.  This leaves
	quarantined messages in your mail queue, and is NOT THE SAME as
	MIMEDefang's quarantine.  See the Sendmail documentation for
	details.

	* mimedefang-multiplexor.c: If platform does not safely support an
	embedded Perl interpreter, return an informative message when user
	does "md-mx-ctrl reread".

	* embperl.c: Fix a memory leak that apparently occurs on FreeBSD.

	* mimedefang.pl.in: Add "Precedence: bulk" headers to all
	MIMEDefang-generated notifications.

	* configure.in: Fix a couple of typos

	* configure.in: Check for Unix::Syslog or Sys::Syslog, even
	if invoked with --disable-check-perl-modules

	* init scripts: Kill mimedefang with TERM rather than KILL signal,
	and wait for it to exit.

	* mimedefang-filter.5.in: Correct error in documentation of
	md_check_against_smtp_server.
