Changes:
2004-04-20 Stable Version 1.0.3 released
----------------------------------------
2004-04-20 Brian Stafford <brian@stafford.uklinux.net>
* memrchr.c configure.in
Added memrchr() implementation for systems that don't have one.
* smtp-tls.c
Applied patches from Pawel Salek to check subjectAltName for
wildcarded domain name when validating server certificate.
v0.99.10.5 2003-12-27 Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi>
+ MySQL authentication, patch by Matthew Reimer
+ --with-moduledir configure option
- mbox: APPEND reversed given \Draft and \Deleted flags
- mbox: "LF not found" errors happened sometimes when X-IMAPbase
header was updated. Possibly corrupted mbox sometimes.
Thanks to Fabrice Bellet for finding this bug.
- Custom flags couldn't be unset
- Maildir: make sure ":2," is appended to filename when moving mails
from new/ to cur/.
- Maildir: synchronization might have sometimes set wrong flags to
messages, or crash completely
- Maildir: RENAME xx inbox.xx didn't result as uppercased ".INBOX.xx"
directory which then couldn't be accessed
- Don't crash with RAND_bytes() error messages anymore. This mostly
happened with Fedora/RedHat.
pkgsrc changes:
o Disable crammd5 patch, doesn't apply cleanly anymore.
o Add a new option "DOVECOT_USE_MYSQL" to authenticate users
against a mysql database.
- allow deletions in the middle of a hash_enumerate
- typo

While at it add a knob for changing cyrus' default idle method.
# CYRUS_IDLE
# use METHOD for IMAP IDLE
# METHOD is poll, idled or no
# Default: not defined
(Idea from FreeBSD)
Bump PKGREVISION to 2.
that have been prepended with "cyrus-". Prepend a few more manpages with
"cyrus-" to prevent any likely future collisions with other packages.
Bump the PKGREVISON to 1.
processes instead of saving values in shell variables and then iterating
over them. Using pipes is more scalable and is just as easy to read, so
it's a net win.
changes:
- Quota now uses the cyrusdb interface (quotalegacy by default).
- All incoming messages are now staged to disk before locking the
destination mailbox (locks are no longer held during a network read).
- Fixed off-by-one error in fetchnews (articles are no longer skipped).
nntpd now uses the Followup-To: header (if exists) instead of the
Newsgroups: header when constructing post address(es) and adds them to
the Reply-To: header instead of the To: header.
- Added berkeley_locks_max, berkeley_txns_max and berkeley_cachesize options.
- Added imapmagicplus option.
- Substantial work on afspts/ptloader canonicalization code
- Much improved LDAP ptloader code (no more internal OpenLDAP dependencies)
- Fixed a number of IPv6 related bugs
Changes:
* Change default parameters to the results of Greg's 300k ham
and 300k spam bogotune run:
robs robx min_dev spam_co
old 0.010000 0.415000 0.100000 0.950000
new 0.017800 0.520000 0.375000 0.990000
* Fix check for PGP signatures.
* Ignore data portion of PGP signatures.
* Use "mime:" (rather than "head:") to tag mime part headers.
* Fix "Can't find '.MSG_COUNT'" problem in bogotune.
* Fix defect that continues decoding base64/qp after invalid chars.
* Warn if user specified config file doesn't exist.
* Fix tagging of IPAddrs in header lines.
* Fixed minor bogotune problems related to building wordlists.
* Exempt tokens .MSG_COUNT and .ROBX from maintenance operations.
* Remove unused 'active' and 'weight' attributes of wordlists.
* If message uses CRLF, put CRLF after added header lines.
* Removed DEPRECATED CODE.
* Correct SIGSEGV causes by missing environment variables.
* Miscellaneous Portability fixes
* Documentation cleanups.
Lots of changes! The main one being that imapfilter is now
configurable and extensible with the Lua language. The configuration
file itself is a Lua script so your old configuration files must
be rewritten.
While here claim stewardship.
Take maintainership.
Add TEST_TARGET.
Enable pkgviews.

* mailutil has three new commands: delete, rename, and prune
* IPv6 support now exists for UNIX and W2K
* The NNTP driver now supports NNTP SASL and TLS
* imapd now supports the LITERAL+ and SASL-IR initial-response extensions
* The IMAP driver has some additional checks to reduce the amount of network
traffic, including executing "silly searches" (searches of sequence numbers
only) locally
* The IMAP, POP, SMTP, and NNTP drivers now have diagnostic code to provide
better information about servers which violate SASL's empty challenge
requirements (e.g. with the PLAIN mechanism).
* There is a new mail_fetch_overview_sequence() function which is like
mail_fetch_overview() but takes a sequence number string as an argument.
There should have been a flags argument and FT_UID bit as in all the other
mail_fetch_???() functions but compatibility with the past... :-(
* The overview_t callback (from mail_fetch_overview()) now has a fourth
argument which contains the message sequence number (as opposed to the UID
which is in the second argument). It turned out that some applications were
calling mail_msgno() (which can be moderately expensive) to get the sequence
number, and c-client already knew it.
* Many declarations which are completely internal to a driver have been removed
from the driver .h file, and in those cases where there are no external
declarations left the .h file has been eliminated entirely. As part of this,
the mbox driver routines are now incorporated with the unix driver routines
as opposed to being a separate file. The mbox driver still needs to be lunk
in order to get the mbox functionality.
What's new from release notes:
* Improved Junk Mail Controls
The algorithm for the adaptive junk mail controls has been heavily
redesigned to learn faster and catch more spam.
* New Brand Identity
To be consistent with the Mozilla Foundation's goal of brand identity,
Thunderbird has a new logo and supporting artwork thanks to the fine
work of the Mozilla Visual Identity team.
* Other New Features...
- IMAP users can now benefit from support for the IMAP IDLE command
which allows the mail server to push notifications such as new mail
arriving as soon as it arrives.
- Thunderbird supports server-wide news filters that apply to all
newsgroups on a server.
- Thunderbird includes Secure Password Authentication using a new
cross-platform NTLM authentication mechanism for IMAP, POP3 and SMTP.
- Mail filters can now mark messages as junk.
- Tools > Options > Compose > HTML Options allows you to set up
default HTML compose options such as font, size and color.
- Attachments can be opened directly from the compose window to verify
their contents before sending.
- Thunderbird now supports the notion of multiple identities per mail
account. This makes it easy to have several e-mail addresses which end
up going into the same account. Read More about how to set this up.
* Recently Fixed Bugs
- In the case of a failure when copying a message to an online Sent
folder, Thunderbird will now ask if you would like it to try again.
- Pasting data from an OpenOffice.org spreadsheet no longer pastes
random HTML garbage before the actual spreadsheet data into HTML
compose.
- Fixed several situations where LDAP connections were left open when
using LDAP auto complete or performing searches on LDAP directories.
- Improved view source behavior.
- Mail notification for POP3 messages that are marked deleted or
marked read by mail filters no longer occurs.
- The "Mark All Read" keyboard shortcut now works for Linux GTK2.

outdated pgp helper filters. This was okay'd by maintainer,
Kimmo Suominen.
This fix will close my PR 22226.
The pgpdecode shell script has an insecure tmp file issue.
These pgp help scripts were rewritten in perl and the author no
longer uses pine and possibly the scripts may not work with new
pine versions.
So now MESSAGE suggests installing the security/pinepgp package
instead. Also available are wip/pgpenvelope and wip/pine-pgp-filters
and when they are available in regular pkgsrc these will be
suggested in the MESSAGE too.
