This is nullmailer, a sendmail/qmail/etc replacement MTA for hosts
which relay to a fixed set of smart relays. It is designed to be
simple to configure, secure, and easily extendable.
IMAPFilter is a mail filtering utility. It connects to remote mail
servers using the Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP). Based on
the user defined filters it checks messages residing on a remote IMAP
mailbox and processes them in various ways.
Updated rules, german translation, improved base64 parsing.
UNIX domain sockets for spamc/spamd, spamd/spamd.raw spamd children
close listening socket, miscellaneous new rules, MIME parsing problem
with "--" at start of line, PerMsgStatus.pm: Non infinite looping patch

* Release date: 9-Apr-2002
0.3.3 - Fix proper unlocking of mailboxes.
* Release date: 2-Sep-2001
Update contributed by Dawid Szymanski <dawszy@arhea.net> in PR 16551
The UIDL calculation has been reworked, adding support for multi-line
message headers and reconsidering which headers to use. Without this change,
the generated IDs wouldn't always be unique when running with certain (common)
MTAs.
Changes since 2.4.9 (the last pkgsrc version):
* Added 'use locale' pragmas to be applied when sorting messages.
This is considered experimental, but it appears to give better
results when sorting text that contains 8-bit-non-English
characters. This is far from any real locale support, but
hopefully it is better than nothing.
* Beefed up HTML filtering in mhtxthtml.pl to eliminate some
security exploits.
CAUTION: If you are worried about security, it is recommended
that you disable support of text/html messages in
your mail archives. There is no guarantee that
the mhtxthtml.pl library is robust enough to
eliminate all possible exploits that can occur with
HTML data.
Thanks goto Jason Molenda and Hiromitsu Takagi for spotting
more exploit cases.
* mhtxtplain.pl checks MIMEXCS if text/html data is excluded
when the htmlcheck option is specified. Seems unnecessary
because someone use excludes HTML data will probably not use
the htmlcheck option to m2h_text_plain::filter.
* Modified mail address extraction for $FROMADDR$ resource
variable to help deal with malformed From: header fields.
Thanks to Eugene Eric Kim for the recommendation.
* Fixed uudecoding support in mhtxtplain.pl to handle spaces
in filenames and \r\n EOLs. Thanks to Jordan Russell for
spotting this.
* Added ISO-8859-15 mappings. Thanks goto Jan Kraeber for the
contribution.
* Removed GIF images from distribution. All GIF images
have been converted to PNG format. Transparency of PNG
images may only be supported in the latest versions of various
graphical web browsers.
See <http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/gif.html> for reasons
why GIF images should not be used.
* Source code imported into CVS. CVS respository is currently
not available publicly. Stilling wondering if a site like
savannah.gnu.org should be used or if the respository should
be hosted independently, like at www.mhonarc.org.
* Fixed regex patterns in readmail.pl to avoid Perl warning
messages.
* Created a contrib/ directory to contain any contributed
programs imported into the MHonArc distribution. Moved
prsfrom.pl from extras/ to contrib/.
* Added Security section to FAQ. Provided more information to
question, "Why does a message get split into mulitple messages
with no headers?", mainly information contributed by users.
============================================================================
2001/11/24 (2.5.2)
(See BUGS for the list of bugs reported and fixed)
o mha-dbrecover new options:
-dbr-startnum #
The starting message number to recover data from. This
option is useful if you have many message files in a
directory, but you only want to recover a subset of the
files. If this option is not specified, the starting
number is 0.
-dbr-endnum #
The ending message number to recover data from. This
option is useful if you have many message files in a
directory, but you only want to recover a subset of the
files. If this option is not specified, all messages
starting from -dbr-startnum will be recovered.
o MSGPGBEGIN default value changed where $SUBJECTNA:72$ has
been replaced with $SUBJECTNA$. This is so default values
do not have any possible conflicts with variable-width
character sets.
============================================================================
2001/11/13 (2.5.1)
(See BUGS for the list of bugs reported and fixed)
o Added special note within the release notes about
downgrading.
o Some documentation corrections.
============================================================================
2001/10/14 (2.5.0)
[This is non-beta release of 2.5.0. See the change notes
below and for the various beta release for a complete list of
changes from the last v2.4 release.]
(See BUGS for the list of bugs reported and fixed)
o The ICONS resource has been updated to support the association
of icons at the base type level (e.g. text/*) and to specify
width and height hints. The example icon resource file
listed in an appendix of the documentation updated to
to use changes to ICONS resource.
o Formatting of attachment links within the m2hexternal.pl
filter has been updated to provide more verbose information.
Description of the format provided in the MIMEFILTERS
documentation. Also, a 'frame' filter argument is now
supported to instruct the filter to draw a frame around
the link.
o Default value for MIMEArgs has been changed to the following:
<MIMEArgs>
m2h_external::filter; inline
</MIMEArgs>
This is more concise then previous default value.
On a resource file maintenance standpoint, it is generally
best to specify filter arguments at the filter level and
not at the content-type level.
o Value of Perl's $^O variable printed with version information
for -V, -v, -help command-line options.
o The count of new messages added to archive are now printed
along with the total message count when QUIET is not active.
============================================================================
2001/09/05 (2.5.0b2)
(See BUGS for the list of bugs fixed)
o Long overdue update of ACKNOWLG file.
o New resources:
TSLICELEVELS -- Maximum depth for thread slices.
o New resource variables:
$TLEVEL$ -- Numeric level of message in thread.
o Added recognition of windows-1250 and windows-1252 charsets
into MHonArc::CharEnt and to default value of CHARSETCONVERTERS
resource. To apply to existing archives, use mha-dbedit
with examples/def-mime.mrc resource file.
o SUBJECTREPLYRXP now used to determine if "Re: " is added
when $SUBJECT$ is used within MAILTOURL.
o Code cleanup to eliminate perl -w warnings. Cleanup not
required for running MHonArc, but convenient for those that
use MHonArc with perl's -w option.
============================================================================
2001/08/26 (2.5.0b)
(See BUGS for the list of bugs fixed)
o API for MIMEFILTERS has been changed. Content filters are
now called as follows:
($html, @files) =
&filter($fields_hash_ref, $body_data_ref, $is_decoded,
$filter_args);
Paramaters:
$fields_hash_ref
A reference to hash of message/part header
fields. Keys are field names in lowercase
and values are array references containing the
field values. For example, to obtain the
content-type, if defined, you would do:
$fields_hash_ref->{'content-type'}[0]
Values for a fields are stored in arrays since
duplication of fields are possible. For example,
the Received: header field is typically repeated
multiple times. For fields that only occur once,
then array for the field will only contain one
item.
$body_data_ref
Reference to body data. It is okay for the
filter to modify the text in-place.
$is_decoded
Boolean flag if body data has been decoded.
This is normally true unless some non-standard
content-transfer-encoding is used.
$filter_args
String containing filter args as defined by
MIMEARGS resource.
Return:
The return value is still treated in the same manner as
previous releases. The first item in the return list is
the text that should printed to the message page. Any
other items in the return list are derived filenames created
by the filter. If undef, or the empty string, is returned,
readmail.pl assumes the filter was unable to filter the
data.
All the filters provided in the MHonArc distribution have
been modified to use the new calling convention.
o The HEADER and FOOTER resources are no longer supported.
o The default value of DEFRCNAME is now ".mhonarc.mrc"
("mhonarc.mrc" for Win/DOS).
o ISO8859 character set data processing now defaults to using
the MHonArc::CharEnt module. The old iso8859.pl library
is still provided for compatibility with older archives.
To update archives to use the new settings, you can run
the following command,
mha-dbedit -rcfile examples/def-mime.mrc \
-outdir /path/to/archive
where "examples/def-mime.mrc" represents the default MIME
processing resources for MHonArc provided within the MHonArc
distribution.
The new module is more efficient in memory usage by only
loading mappings for character sets actually processed. The
old iso8859.pl library preloads all mappings. Also, the
module is designed to be easily extensible for processing
any 8-bit-based character sets.
o Reference, follow-up, and derived file information of a
message is now stored in a different format in the database
(and internally). MHonArc will auto-update older archives
to the new format. The newer format should provide some
performance improvement.
o Messages with no subjects are now stored with no subjects.
In previous releases, the text "No Subject" was automatically
added as a message was parsed, hence there was no real
indicator that a message had no real subject.
A related change is that messages without subject text
are skipped in subject-based thread detection. Therefore,
a no-subject message will never be a possible follow-up,
but it is still possible for it to be an explicit follow-up
if it includes reference message-ids.
NOTE: This functionality does not apply to messages
processed by earlier versions where the text "No Subject"
was auto-applied to messages when parsed. A recreation
of an archive from the original message data would
have to be done to have new behavior applied to message
processed by earlier releases.
A messages with no subject will now have the string
"[no subject]" displayed any time the $SUBJECT$ resource
variable is used for the message.
o New resources:
FIRSTPGLINK Link markup for first page of main index.
LASTPGLINK Link markup for last page of main index.
TFIRSTPGLINK Link markup for first page of thread index.
TLASTPGLINK Link markup for last page of thread index.
TNEXTINBUTTON Button markup for next message
within a thread.
TNEXTINBUTTONIA Inactive button markup for next
message within a thread.
TNEXTINLINK Link markup for next message within
a thread.
TNEXTINLINKIA Inactive link markup for next
message within a thread.
TNEXTTOPBUTTON Button markup for first message in
the next thread.
TNEXTTOPBUTTONIA Inactive button markup for first
message in the next thread.
TPREVINBUTTON Button markup for previous message
within a thread.
TPREVINBUTTONIA Inactive button markup for previous
message within a thread.
TPREVINLINK Link markup for previous message
within a thread.
TPREVINLINKIA Inactive link markup for previous
message within a thread.
TPREVTOPBUTTON Button markup for first message in the
previous thread.
TPREVTOPBUTTONIA Inactive button markup for first
message in the previous thread.
TSLICECONTBEGIN Thread slice markup before the
continuation of a broken thread.
TSLICECONTEND Thread slice markup after the
continuation of a broken thread.
TSLICEINDENTBEGIN Thread slice markup for opening a level
when continuing a broken thread.
TSLICEINDENTEND Thread slice markup for closing a level
when continuing a broken thread.
TSLICELIEND Ending markup for a thread slice
message listing.
TSLICELIENDCUR Ending markup for a thread slice
message listing.
TSLICELINONE Thread slice markup for a missing
message in thread slice.
TSLICELINONEEND Ending markup for a missing message in
thread slice.
TSLICELITXT Markup for a thread slice message
listing.
TSLICELITXTCUR Markup for a thread slice message
listing if current message.
TSLICESINGLETXT Markup for a thread slice listing with
no follow-ups.
TSLICESINGLETXTCUR Markup for a thread slice listing with
no follow-ups if current message.
TSLICESUBJECTBEG Markup before a subject based thread
slice listing.
TSLICESUBJECTEND Markup after a subject based thread
slice listing.
TSLICESUBLISTBEG Thread slice markup for starting a
sub-thread.
TSLICESUBLISTEND Thread slice markup for ending a
sub-thread.
TSLICETOPBEGIN Thread slice markup for the root/start
of a thread.
TSLICETOPBEGINCUR Thread slice markup for the root/start
of a thread.
TSLICETOPEND Thread slice markup for the end of a
thread.
TSLICETOPENDCUR Thread slice markup for the end of a
thread if current message.
o $TSLICE$ resource variable can now take up to three arguments:
$TSLICE(<before>;<after>;<inclusive>)$
where,
<before> : Number indicated the maximum number of
message to print before the current message.
If empty, the before value specified in
TSLICE resource will be used.
<after> : Number indicated the maximum number of
message to print after the current message.
If empty, the after value specified in
TSLICE resource will be used.
<inclusive> : If `1', only messages within the current
thread will be printed. If `0', messages
from the previous and next threads can
be printed if the values for <before> and
<after> would go beyond the current thread.
o TSLICE resource updated to allow specification of default
value of inclusive flag.
o The following new message specifications can be used for
message data-related resource variables:
TNEXTIN Next message within current thread.
TNEXTTOP Start of next thread.
TPREVIN Next message within current thread.
TPREVTOP Start of previous thread.
When used as arguments to the the $BUTTON$ and $LINK$ resource
variables, the TNEXTINBUTTON(IA), TNEXTTOPBUTTON(IA),
TPREVINBUTTON(IA), TPREVTOPBUTTON(IA), TNEXTINLINK(IA),
TNEXTTOPLINK(IA), TPREVINLINK(IA), TPREVTOPLINK(IA) resources
are respectively applied.
o The use of TNEXT, TPREV (and new TNEXTTOP and TPREVTOP)
message specifications in resource variables behave more
intuitively when TREVERSE is active. If at the boundaries
of a thread, TNEXT and TPREV will reference the first
message of the next thread by date and the first message
of the previous thread by date, respectively.
o Version of MHonArc and Perl are printed when MHonArc starts
unless QUIET is active.
o mhtxtplain.pl (text/plain) filter changes:
. If the htmlcheck option is set and it is detected that
the data is HTML, an attempt is first made to use the
registered text/html filter via MIMEFILTERS. If none
is defined, mhtxthtml.pl will be used.
. When uudecode option is set, an attempt is to use
the registered decoder for uuencode via MIMEDECODERS.
If not defined, then base64::uudecode is used from
base64.pl.
o mhtxthtml.pl (text/html) filter changes:
. Elements that have URL attributes that auto-load data --
IMG, BODY, IFRAME, FRAME, OBJECT, SCRIPT, INPUT -- have the
atributes converted to 'javascript:void(0);' URLs. See new
'allownoncidurls' filter argument below for more details.
. The follow filter arguments have been added:
allownoncidurls Preserve URL-based attributes that are not
cid: URLs. Normally, any URL-based
attribute -- href, src, background,
classid, data, longdesc -- will be
converted to 'javascript:void(0);'
if it is not a cid: URL. This is to
prevent malicious URLs that verify mail
addresses for spam purposes, secretly set
cookies, or gather some statistical data
automatically with the use of elements
that cause browsers to automatically
fetch data: IMG, BODY, IFRAME, FRAME,
OBJECT, SCRIPT, INPUT.
notitle Do not print title.
o Searching for OTHERINDEXES resource files has been modified.
The following lists the search order for an OTHERINDEXES
resource file:
1. Current working directory.
2. Same directory that the first resource file was read as
specified by the RCFILE resource.
3. User's home directory.
4. Archive directory.
5. Perl's @INC.
o FIRST, LAST, TFIRST, and TLAST idx_page_spec arguments to
$PGLINK$ are now supported via the FIRSTPGLINK, LASTPGLINK,
TFIRSTPGLINK, and TLASTPGLINK resources.
o $PGLINKLIST$ resource variable changed to print entire
list of page links if no arguments are provided. To get
the entire list for thread indexes, use: $PGLINKLIST(T)$.
o Date parsing routine updated to recognize dates in the
following format: Weekday, Month DD, YYYY HH:MM Zone.
Apparently, this is useful if converting mail saved to
a file in text format from MS Outlook.
o Support for defining Perl function callbacks when a
new message header is read and just after a message body
has been converted. Documentation about the callbacks is
provided in a new API appendix section in the documentation
and is provided in comments in the example mhasiteinit.pl
provided in the examples/ directory.
o Various internal changes have been made to try to eradicate
Perl 4-based conventions. For example, the use of typeglobs to
pass by "reference" has been replaced by using real references.
Assuming nothing was screwed up, this change should be
transparent to most users (with the notable exception of the
API changes to MIMEFILTERS registered routines). However,
if you have mucked with MHonArc internals, or created custom
modifications, you may need to be aware that changes have
been made.
* Messages in the pending directory are no longer deleted after they
are confirmed (or released) and delivered. Now they are simply
noted in the DELIVERED_CACHE file.
* BOUNCE_TEXT_ALREADY_CONFIRMED has been deprecated.
* The confirm_accept.txt template has been modified. The message body
of the notification is no longer hardcoded, but rather stored in
%(confirm_accept_text)s, which comes from one of the following
tmdarc variables depending on context:
CONFIRM_ACCEPT_TEXT_INITIAL
CONFIRM_ACCEPT_TEXT_ALREADY_CONFIRMED
CONFIRM_ACCEPT_TEXT_ALREADY_RELEASED
* Custom templates are now referred to by a template directory rather
than individually. Any templates found in this directory will be
used, otherwise the default templates will be used. You can specify
a custom template directory in one of two ways:
A TEMPLATE_DIR setting in your tmdarc. This replaces use of
CONFIRM_ACCEPT_TEMPLATE and CONFIRM_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.
tmda-filter's -t option, which replaces both -A and -R.
* The 'unquoted' and 'parens' options to MESSAGE_FROM_STYLE have been
deprecated. 'angles' now double-quotes the fullname only when
necessary.

- Violation of the defer_transports setting: the flush server could
trigger mail delivery (as if ETRN was sent) while doing some internal
housekeeping of per-destination logfiles.
- Virtual mapping was broken for addresses with embedded whitespace
in the recipient local part.
- When the super-user runs "mailq" or "postqueue -p" (list mail
queue) while the mail system is down, the postqueue command runs
the showq command directly. However, postqueue did not pass on
non-default configuration directory settings to the showq command,
so that showq would report the default mail queue instead.
- The new code avoids problems with SMTP servers that will not
receive mail with lines longer than the 1000 characters that are
allowed by the SMTP standard.
- The new code is more graceful in the handling of abnormally long
message headers. It will no longer switch from "message header"
to "message body" mode in the middle of an abnormally long message
header line.
