Hi,

MIMEDefang 2.40 is at http://www.mimedefang.org/node.php?id=1

Major changes:

* If multiple virus scanners are installed, they are all used.

* Default action for viruses (in the sample filter) is now discard.

* Added a new "notification" facility to allow external software to
  react to changes in multiplexor state.

* We now pass both the raw input message and the unpacked, decoded
  parts to the virus scanner. This makes virus detection much more
  reliable.

Full changelog since 2.39 follows.

Regards,

David.

	* Version 2.40 RELEASED

	* mimedefang.pl.in (entity_contains_virus_avp5): Added support
	for Kaspersky "aveclient" program, based on patch from
	Enrico Ansaloni.

2004-03-04  David F. Skoll  <dfs at roaringpenguin.com>

	* mimedefang.pl.in (re_match_in_zip_directory): Added function
	to look inside zip archives (if Archive::Zip is installed) to
	do filename matching.  Modified example filter to call it.

2004-03-03  David F. Skoll  <dfs at roaringpenguin.com>

	* MIMEDefang 2.40-BETA-3

	* mimedefang.pl.in (do_scan): Make a replica of INPUTMSG under
	Work/ so that virus-scanners with built-in MIME decoders can
	have a crack at the original input message.  Also added --mbox
	option for clamscan.

2004-03-01  David F. Skoll  <dfs at roaringpenguin.com>

	* mimedefang.pl.in (action_quarantine_entire_message): Do not include
	$msg argument in original mail; just use it in admin notification.

2004-02-24  David F. Skoll  <dfs at roaringpenguin.com>

	* Documentation and cosmetic fixes from Matt Selsky.

	* Loosened spool directory permissions -- made them group-readable
	so you can run ClamAV as its own user (as long as it's in the defang
	group.)

	* Modified spec file to allow detection of AV software at
	build time using --with 'antivirus' (From No. 6)

2004-02-23  David F. Skoll  <dfs at roaringpenguin.com>

	* mimedefang.pl.in (md_openlog): Added LOG_NDELAY option
	(Recommended by "Don")

	(entity_contains_virus_trend): Added "-a" option and other minor
	fixes from "Number 6".

2004-02-20  David F. Skoll  <dfs at roaringpenguin.com>

	* MIMEDefang 2.40-BETA-2

	* notifier.c: Added the multiplexor "notification" facility.
	This is an experimental new interface that lets the multiplexor
	inform external programs about state changes; see the
	mimedefang-notify(7) man page for details.

2004-02-11  David F. Skoll  <dfs at roaringpenguin.com>

	* mimedefang.pl.in (interpret_hbedv_code): Make the regexp that
	picks out virus name for Vexira and H+BEDV more forgiving.

2004-02-03  David F. Skoll  <dfs at roaringpenguin.com>

	* examples/suggested-minimum-filter-for-windows-clients: Just
	discard viruses.  Don't bother checking each entity.

	* mimedefang.pl.in (entity_contains_virus_trend): Use the "-za"
	flag (suggested by "Number 6")

2004-01-29  David F. Skoll  <dfs at roaringpenguin.com>

	* MIMEDefang 2.40-BETA-1.

	* mimedefang.pl.in: Enable "use warnings" so we get warnings
	even in embedded interpreter.  (problem noted by Dave O'Neill).

	* mimedefang.pl.in: Added message_contains_virus and
	entity_contains_virus functions to mimedefang.pl.in.  They use
	*every* installed virus scanner.  Based on idea from Chris Myers.

		*** NOTE INCOMPATIBILITY ***

	The previous example filter defined functions called
	message_contains_virus and entity_contains_virus.  These are
	now defined in mimedefang.pl itself; you should remove the
	definitions from your filter!

2004-01-28  David F. Skoll  <dfs at roaringpenguin.com>

	* examples/suggested-minimum-filter-for-windows-clients: Remove
	all action_quarantine* from sample filter.

2004-01-26  David F. Skoll  <dfs at roaringpenguin.com>

	* contrib/fang.pl (make_message): Patch to handle multiple parts
	(contributed by Eric Emerson).

2004-01-22  David F. Skoll  <dfs at roaringpenguin.com>

	* configure.in: Fix bug in BDC virus-scanner detection

	* mimedefang.pl.in: Remove confusing "8.12.9/8.12.9" text from
	synthesized Received: header

	* mimedefang.pl.in: use MIME::Entity::dup() to fix destruction
	of multipart/digest messages.  Fix due to Bryan Stansell.

2004-01-08  David F. Skoll  <dfs at roaringpenguin.com>

	* configure.in: Use $PERL everywhere, not perl.  Patch submitted
	by Jeff Makey

	* examples/suggested-minimum-filter-for-windows-clients (filter_end):
	Remove call to remove_redundant_html_parts from default filter.

2003-12-03  David F. Skoll  <dfs at roaringpenguin.com>

	* mimedefang.pl.in (interpret_sweep_code): Return 'ok' for a
	Sophos return code of 2.  Sophos Sweep seems to choke on
	M$ docs; this is dangerous!!  Use another virus-scanner if
	possible.
