Hi,

MIMEDefang 2.46-BETA-1 is available at http://www.mimedefang.org/node.php?id=1

The main change is a fix to the way messages are rebuilt.  Now,
filter_end sees the true type of the message (rather than always getting
a multipart/mixed entity).  Also, action_add_part won't break
PGP/MIME messages or other multipart messages that aren't multipart/mixed.

Complete changelog to 2.45 follows.

Regards,

David.

	* mimedefang-filter.5.in: Corrected an error in one of the examples

	* mimedefang.c: Add IP address of scanning host to X-Scanned-By:
	header.

	* SECURITY FIX: mimedefang.c: Tempfail message if RESULTS file
	doesn't terminate with 'F' line.  (Detects disk-full condition.)

	* mimedefang.pl.in (rebuild_entity): Add a Content-Type: header
	if MIME part lacks one.  Some marginal e-mail software chokes on
	a part with a missing content-type header.

	* mimedefang.pl.in: flatten_mime removed.  Support for
	$Stupidity{"flatten"} removed.  *** NOTE INCOMPATIBILITY ***

	* action_add_part revamped completely; we try to preserve original
	multipart type of message.  action_add_part now simply keeps a list
	of parts to be added.  At the end:

		a) If original message was multipart/mixed, we simply add
		the part.

		b) Otherwise, we make a new multipart/mixed container, put
		original message as the first part of this new container, and
		then add part to the multipart/mixed container.

		*** NOTE INCOMPATIBILITY ***

	* Proper multipart type passed to filter_end.

	* All mimedefang.pl-generated messages have an
	Auto-Submitted: auto-generated header.

	* mimedefang.pl.in: Return codes of I/O operations are checked; we
	die if any fail.  This is a security fix.

	* mimedefang.pl.in (interpret_trend_code): Treat any code from
	1 to 9 as indicative of a virus, upon recommendation of Stephane Lentz.

	* mimedefang.pl.in (spam_assassin_init): Add a
	LOCAL_RULES_DIR => @CONFDIR@/spamassassin argument to SpamAssassin
	constructor.
