mailfilter 0.7.1 (Sat Nov 27 14:24:08 CET 2004) [development version]
- RUDIMENTARY IMAP support (not usable yet)
- Preliminary support for SSL has been added
(if OpenSSL is installed, it can be enabled by specifying protocol
"pop3/ssl", or "apop/ssl" and by using port 995 in case of POP,
instead of 110)
- APOP support has been ported over to the 0.7.x development branch
- MAXLENGTH keyword default is no longer ignored, or misinterpreted
mailfilter 0.7 (Sat Feb 14 17:59:26 CET 2004) [development version]
- Revised and faster networking code
- New rcfile parsing and setup capabilities
Note, the rcfile format has changed! Parameter strings have to be
in quotes now, e.g.
SERVER = "my.server"
This also hits all your created rules. It is not necessary if your
parameter is a number e.g. the port number.
- New keyword MAXSCORE_SCORE (see man pages)
- Keyword SHOW_HEADERS expects a path name now, indicating where
to store the headers
- Verbosity levels have been adjusted slightly
mailfilter 0.6.2 (Sun Aug 8 14:17:18 CEST 2004) [stable version]

":" separator
mailfilter 0.6.1 (Sat Feb 14 17:59:26 CET 2004) [stable version]

mailfilter 0.5.2 (Sat Oct 11 12:00:05 CEST 2003) [development version]
- (Buggy) Windows support has been removed
- (Hopefully) resolved compile problems: since mailfilter does not
compile with GNU-flex anymore, the code has been adjusted to depend
on a flex version which is available from http://lex.sf.net/
- New user-contributions and scripts in contrib/
- Minor documentation changes in the FAQ
mailfilter 0.5.1 (Sat Apr 12 08:46:25 CEST 2003) [development version]
- Added '-r'/'--return-value' in order to make mailfilter return
a positive integer if it scanned any messages in any POP account
(see mailfilter (1) man page for details)
- Added contrib directory with extra scripts and programs which can
be used in combination with mailfilter (read its README file for
further details)
- Added a scoring mechanism (see man pages for further details) to
allow more efficient filtering on mailing lists, for example
- Fixed configuraton and compilation woes with various versions of
gcc, flex, bison and the autotools (mainly relevant for developers)
- Added `--test' as command-line switch to merely simulate deletes

connections/whatever to send back acknowledgements during the login
period
- Added Russian translation, courtesy Ilgiz Kalmetev
- Fixed a bug that caused mailfilter to crash under certain conditions,
upon syntax errors in the rcfile
- The -L and -v command line switches override any rcfile directives
(again), as it should be
- Syntax errors in configuration files are reported correctly now
- Headers are not logged twice anymore, if SHOW_HEADERS=yes and VERBOSE=6
- Nested rcfiles possible now (use INCLUDE as keyword)
- Exotic POP3 servers that do not use "TOP %n 0" to show the message
headers, can now be used by defining an alternative command in the
config.h file (recompilation is necessary, however)
mailfilter 0.3.2 (Wed Feb 20 09:38:41 CET 2002) [development version]
- Improved rcfile parsing, trailing white space characters are possible
now
- Improved logging and verbosity capabilities (see mailfilterrc(5) for
details)
- Usernames and passwords may consist exclusively of digits now
- Fixed a type conversion problem in signal handling code, such that
compilation works again with FreeBSD 4.4-RELEASE
- Minor documentation updates (faq, man pages, etc.)
- Fixed a minor incompatibility with Windows configuration files,
such that bison gets invoked correctly
mailfilter 0.3.1 (Sun Dec 2 11:11:52 GMT 2001) [development version]
- Improved rcfile parsing and added support for multi-case keywords
and the like
(If you run into problems compiling the program, please look into
doc/FAQ, as a couple of Linux distributors use(d) a broken version
of flex!)
- Spanish translation (courtesy Carlos Valdivia Yagüe)
- Updated and corrected the program's FAQ (e. g. thanks to Brian
Hall we have now an example shell script that shows how Mailfilter
can be tunneled via ssh)
- Bug fix: Mailfilter now displays the correct filter and subject
string of a mail if a (normalised) filter matched
- Bug fix: mails that contain subject strings with only a white
space character, are now handled correctly
- Added time out signal handler for network connection code
- Added signal handler to catch SIGINT, i.e. ctrl-c
mailfilter 0.3.0 (Wed Nov 7 14:17:44 GMT 2001) [development version]
- Program compiles and runs (again) under MS-Windows with Cygwin and
the like (see doc/README.Windows)
- rcfile must be in $HOME now and is not expected to be in
/home/<username> anymore
- Upon popular demand the default setting of MAXLENGTH is '0' now,
i.e. the feature is disabled by default
- Restructured the verbosity levels; see mailfilterrc(5) man
page for details, please
- Removed internal string handling bugs that confused the
Regular Expression compilation
Mailfilter filters mail on a pop3 server, allowing junk to be deleted on
the server rather than after it has been downloaded, and integrates with
other programs such as fetchmail.
Seems to work fine, I need this tested/reviewed though.
