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outdated pgp helper filters.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.
Mail::Mbox::MessageParser is a feature-poor but very fast mbox
parser. It uses the best of three strategies for parsing a mailbox:
either using cached folder information, GNU grep, or highly optimized
Perl.
XXX: might need some adaptation for OSs where diff and bzip2 are
not in the base system.

- The postdrop mail submission command could die with SIGHUP and
abort mail submission. This was observed with mail from cron jobs.
- The MySQL client aborted with complaints about multiple attempts
to register the same lookup table. This was observed in the proxymap
daemon.
- As a workaround for agressive SMTP command pipelining clients,
the Postfix SMTP server now allows SMTP clients to overshoot the
SMTP server recipient limit without triggering the server hard
error limit, as long as the number of excess recipients stays within
a hard-coded overshoot limit of 1000. If you have such clients then
you also need to specify "smtpd_error_sleep_time = 0" or else
performance will be poor.
- The LMTP client attempted to reuse a connection after timeout,
causing protocol synchronization errors.
- The trivial-rewrite server could core dump after temporary table
lookup failure. This was not observed in Postfix 2.0.
again in foo_precmd() to a different value. This is an unusual
usage, and these comments may help if a future rc.subr isn't as
accommodating to such trickery. Suggested by lukem.

+ windows clamd client now available with source code
-) documentation:
+ new Polish documentation on ClamAV and Samba integration
+ official documentation updated
patch, qmail-smtpd will reject mail during the SMTP conversation
if a recipient is listed in control/badrcptto. This complements
control/badmailfrom as found in stock qmail. Requested by Nathan
Arthur.
Add an rc.d script for qmail-pop3d. It needs sysutils/checkpassword,
which is so tiny I've added the dependency even as I don't use
qmail-pop3d myself.
In the rc.d script for qmail-smtpd, require control/rcpthosts to
be present. This prevents accidental open relays.
Now that it's used for the path to checkpassword too, rename
LOCALBASE_UCSPI_TCP to LOCALBASE_NORMAL.
Convert to buildlink3.
Bump PKGREVISION.
which installs to ${RCD_SCRIPTS_EXAMPLEDIR}. But the MESSAGE
referred to wrong hard-coded location if the RCD_SCRIPTS_EXAMPLEDIR
was not the default. So use RCD_SCRIPTS_EXAMPLEDIR instead.
PKGREVISION not bumped because if someone had changed
RCD_SCRIPTS_EXAMPLEDIR before recent change of autoregistration
of rc.d script in PLIST, then it could not have been packaged
in first place.
Note that this commit does not imply that the MESSAGE is correct.
In some cases, the MESSAGE is clearly wrong such as suggesting
running the rc.d script from the example directory (which will work
although).
the RCD_SCRIPTS rc.d script(s) to the PLIST.
This GENERATE_PLIST idea is part of Greg A. Woods'
PR #22954.
This helps when the RC_SCRIPTS are installed to
a different ${RCD_SCRIPTS_EXAMPLEDIR}. (Later,
the default RCD_SCRIPTS_EXAMPLEDIR will be changed
to be more clear that they are the examples.)
These patches also remove the etc/rc.d/ scripts from PLISTs
(of packages that use RCD_SCRIPTS). (This also removes
now unused references from openssh* makefiles. Note that
qmail package has not been changed yet.)
I have been doing automatic PLIST registration for RC_SCRIPTS
for over a year. Not all of these packages have been tested,
but many have been tested and used.
Somethings maybe to do:
- a few packages still manually install the rc.d scripts to
hard-coded etc/rc.d. These need to be fixed.
- maybe remove from mk/${OPSYS}.pkg.dist mtree specifications too.
changes include:
* Check every fetch operation for success
* documented the fact that mailsync is not really fit for concurrent
mailbox access
* extended loging
* reengineering - clearer naming of variables (I hope)
- int msgno -> unsigned long msgno (as in c-client)
- functions and variables that return/contain only true/false
are now booleans
* do not copy deleted mails
* documented list mode
* list mode can display contents of mailboxes
* more docu
* reordered code to make it more coherent (IMHO)
* various functions (fetch_mail_ids, tdc_mail_open) had too many crucial
side effects which made the code very hard to follow. Untangled that.
* closing a stream before writing in it (c-client logic!) so that new
messages are not marked as seen. That means, that mutt users should be
happy(er?) now.
* more explicit and consistent error messages, more sensible debug output
* documented the code and renamed stuff so that it makes sense
* messages-ids are sanitized and saved in RFC822 format only.
* warnings about spaces in the message id are now optional, see the "-bd"
option
* fixed a bug that occured when files were copied over but could not be saved
for some reason
Changes are bug-fixes mostly, but also synchronizes bundled GD
with GD 2.0.22 and updates PCRE to version 4.5. Several NetBSD
patches were integrated too, so future pkgsrc updates would
be even more smooth.

program does not give "Permission denied" arguments while running (and
things like the local mail folders work properly). Lets go with the
revision bump done recently.
the fix is really in glib2, not libglade2 (which hasn't changed at all).
libglade2's revision was bumped to pick up glib2 too, but this has nothing
to do with fixing evolution, so bumping the required glib2 version is more
realistic.
0.68-1
------
Fixed RAR support.
0.68
----
This version fixes a crash with some RAR archives generated by the Bagle worm,
also a few important fixes have been backported from CVS.
We strongly encourage users to install the 0.70-rc version (released today).
0.67
----
This release fixes a memory management problem (platform dependent; can lead
to a DoS attack) with messages that only have attachments (reported by Oliver
Brandmueller). It also contains patches for a few problems found in 0.66 and
has better Cygwin support.
- SMTP AUTH support
- subnet matching and SPF support to better work with mail farms
- All command line options now have equivalent in the config file
- IPv6 aware
- regex can be used in the configuration file
support with tls+ipv6-1.22-pf-2.0.19-20040312.patch.gz, too.
20040302
Bugfix: SMTPD proxy didn't send QUIT as the result of code
duplication. Evidence reported by Mark Martinec. File:
smtpd/smtpd.c.
20040311
Bugfix: bad address syntax caused map lookup with zero-length
keys. Problem reported by Andrei Koulik. Files:
util/match_ops.c, src/trivial-rewrite/transport.c.
1.) Install "README" into "share/doc/milter-greylist".
2.) Install example configuration into "share/examples/milter-greylist".
3.) Provide a "rc.d" script.
Bump package revision because of these changes.
* Now uses Addresses framework.
* Updated the OS X version of the Filtering bundle.
* Added Matt, Ken and Bjorn in the About panel.
* Simplified and optimized the Filtering bundle
initialization code under GNUstep.
* Removed some NSLog() calls in the Import bundle
* We don't save an "empty MailWindow" in the prefs
* We now disable the "Use secure connection" buttons
in the AccountEditorWindow if the SSL bundle is not
installed under GNUstep (it's always installed with
our dmg on the OS X version).
* Updated the German translation. Work done by
Hermann Gundel <Hermann.Gundel@nussberg.de>
* Modified AdvancedViewController to no longer
statically allocate everything.
* Modified MailWindowController: -deleteMessage
to use the new Folder's method (-setFlags: messages:)
in order to accelerate IMAP messages deletion.
* We no longer check all IMAP accounts
but only opened ones.
* We no longer remove the DELTED message flag when
deleting from the keyboard.
* Removed the "Open on startup" feature in the Mailboxes
window / drawer. GNUMail.app will now automatically
reopen the mailboxes that were opened when the app
was closed.
* Added an extra check in MailboxManagerController: -outlineView:
acceptDrop: .. since the GNUstep's NSOutlineView code is
broken wrt DnD. Savannah is still down so I can't fix the
real bug :(
* We now STATUS all IMAP folders for an opened IMAP connection
in a separate thread when clicking on the "Get" button. We no
longer only NOOP the IMAP store.
* Added AddressBook framework to the Filtering target based on the
previous change.
* Fixed crash on quitting on OS X.
* Modified MailboxManagerController: -_reloadFoldersForIMAPStoreWithName: ...
to also use -reloadItem: under GNUstep since that method has been
fixed lately.
* Reverted the change. -reloadItem is still plain broken.
* Added a patch from Bjorn Giesler to enhance the filtering code
to support address book groups. The OS X nib NEEDs to be modified.
* Added Bjorn in the AboutPanel's list of contributors.
* Fixed a warning in MailWindowController: -windowWillClose.
* Added Constants.m to the OS X project file.
* Added Constants.m and cleaned the header. That
new file _must_ be added to the OS X project file.
* Added Matt Ackeret and Ken Ferry to the About panel.
* We now properly call -controlTextDidChange: in the
-takeTo* methods (in EditWindowController) in order
to correctly enable the Send button.
* Updated ViewingView.nib
* Updated AboutPanel.nib
* Updated InfoPlist.strings
* Fixed a compiler warning in GNUMail.m
* Added patches from Bjorn Giesler to:
- improve address completion
- implement the "preferred label" in AddressBookPanel
- convert the Mailboxes window and Console window to
panels. This is a quick hack since the classes NEED
to be renamed eventually.
* We no longer force the ADScreenNameFirstNameFirst since
we'll use the user's default in AddressManager.
* Removed the "Mailbox" string the in Mailboxes's drawer
for the contextual menu.
* Renamed Id -> Number in the Viewing pref panel under GNUstep.
The OS X nib needs to be modified.
* We now save correctly the order of MailWindow's dataView columns.
* Added a simple patch from David Ayers for key comparisons
in AccountViewController.m.
* Improved AddressBookPanel.nib.
* We now correctly synchronize our popups in the FilterEditorWindow.
* We now correctly reload the table columns when changing the
dataview type in MailWindowController.
* Added modal sheet to "Save message as text" action in GNUMail.
* An address (to|cc|bcc) must be defined for the send button to
be active in EditWindowController.
* Fixed color space in ColorsViewController (Colors bundle).
* Improved behavior of modal sheet in EditWindowController when
closing an unsaved message.
* Removed two more observers in GNUMail: -applicationShouldTerminate:
and reorganized all the calls in MailWindowController: -dealloc.
* Defined ReloadMessageList in Constants.h so it's cleaner.
* We no longer require the user to specify a To: recipient.
* Also fixed a bug in the filtering code wrt trailing ">"
when the criteria operation is "has suffix". Issues reported
by Alistair Windsor <awindsor@onetel.com>.
* Simplified the code a little bit in AddressBookController.
* Simplified it some more and reactivated AddressBookController:
-addressesWithSubstring: so it's now possible to filter incoming
mails based on the recipients / Apple's Address Book (or
GNUstep's implementation). This fixes TODO #33.
* Renamed a local variable to not conflict with an ivar on OS X.
* Added AddressBook_32.tiff and modified the AddressBookPanel.nib
to use it.
* Enhanced MailboxImport.nib.
* Lots of very minor improvements wrt the Vera font.
* Modified MailboxImportController: -dealloc to set the datasource
of our table view to nil.
* Did the same thing for the outline view shown in MailWindow's drawer
under OS X.
* Added an improvement in the IMAP parsing code (_parseFetch:)
so it works better with lame servers like Exchange.
* Added Folder: -setFlags: messages: and implemented a
version in IMAPFolder to optimize deletion of messages.
Modified IMAPMessage: -setFlags: to use that new method.
* We now correctly decode/encode the Organization header
using quoted-printable.
* Removed Testing/*. The tests were old and broken and
the small test framework should be replaced by a real
framework, like OCUnit.
* Added some notes (in the README) to properly compile and
install Pantomime on RedHat 9 / Fedora.
* Permuted the RETAIN/RELEASE calls in Message: -setFlags:.
Bug reported by Alexandre Carlhian <alex@mosx.net>.
* Fixed a bug in Parser: +_parameterValueUsingLine: range:.
* Finally commited a fix for the reply bork when a attachment
is put between to text/plain parts in a multipart/mixed
message (only the first part was used in the reply).
* Modified MimeUtility to add support on OS X for
Hebrew, Arabic, BalticRim and Vietnamese encodings
using the CoreFoundation.
* Fixed a small issue in POP3Folder: -lengthOfMessageAtIndex:
Bug reported by Alexandre Carlhian <alex@mosx.net>.
* Modified NSData+Extensions: -dataFromQuotedData to be sure
that our initial data length has length of at least 2 (since
if we had only '"' we would get an range exception).
* Modified MimeUtility: -stringEncodingForPart: so that
if we get _at best_ NSASCIIStringEncoding from the
part, we use NSISOLatin1StringEncoding instead in order
to give us more success when decoding things.
* Added POP3Folder: -prefetchMessageAtIndex: numberOfLines: and
added a small cache for the message sizes.
* Renamed -authenticateWithUsername: ... to
-authenticate: password: mechanism: and implemented in
the SMTP, POP3Store and IMAPStore classes.
* Added -supportedMechanisms to the Service protocol and
implemented in all the classes above.
* Removed POP3Store: -setUseAPOP: / -useAPOP and -setTimestamp:
* Added LOGIN and CRAM-MD5 SASL authentication mechanisms support
in the IMAP code.
* Added -DBIG_ENDIAN to the list of compiler flags on OS X so that
the CRAM-MD5 code works.
* Updated the OS X project to set the version number to 1.1.2.
* Moved -isConnected from Connection to Store. Implemented
in IMAPStore and provided a dumb implementations for LocalStore
and POP3Store. Refactored all the code to use the Store's method
instead of the TCPConnection's implementation. Much of the code
in GNUMail will have to be retested wrt the handling of being
disconnected from the IMAP server.
* Added a hack so things work well with header prefetching when we
are using a Novell IMAP server (which is utterly broken).
* Added and implemented IMAPStore: -capabilities to return an array
of the server's capabilities (result of the CAPABILITY command).
* Added a "contents" parameter to Store: -createFolderWithName: type:
so we are now able to create a folder with an initial content.
Implemented in all Store subclasses but the only implementation
that works right now is the LocalStore one using the standard
mailbox format (maildir won't work).
Brauer have prepared a distribution of qmail, called "netqmail":
"We have done this because in our opinion, too many new users
are confused by the out-of-date INSTALL file, and too much time
is spent arguing on the mailing list over bugs. We have tried
to stick to the barest minimum number of changes. We have
fixed only those things which are out-and-out wrong, or which
have been approved by djb (specifically QMAILQUEUE)."
This package already includes the QMAILQUEUE patch. Add netqmail
1.05's other patches, with the exception that patches to documentation
files which are not installed have been lovingly omitted.
This package also already includes a patch to handle oversized DNS
packets. It's still here, too.
pkgsrc changes:
* Add qmail-smtpd rc.d script (and ensuing dependency on net/ucspi-tcp).
* Update qmail rc.d script: respect $qmail_flags, treating it as the
default delivery instruction.
* Remove non-working MASTER_SITES.
From the netqmail changelog:
20040121 code: qmail-smtpd is protected from exceedingly long (eg 2GB)
header lines
20040121 code: qmail_lspawn, qmail-newmrh, qmail-newu, and qmail-rspawn
are protected from misbehaving on hosts where the size of an
integer is not the same as the size of a character pointer
(eg 64 bit hosts with 32 bit ints)
20031027 doc: qmail.7 identifies installation as netqmail and points to
http://qmail.org/
20031027 doc: qmail-queue.8 adds explanation of $QMAILQUEUE
20031027 doc: qmail-log.5 adds reference to errors from $QMAILQUEUE script
20031027 code: qmail-smtpd identifies itself as netqmail
20031027 code: if $QMAILQUEUE is set, it's invoked instead of qmail-queue
20031024 code: changed errno from int to #include.
20031024 code: fixed .qmail parsing bug.
20031024 code: recognize 0.0.0.0 as a local address.
20031024 code: sendmail's -f flag now overrides environment variables.
And for all this, bump PKGREVISION.

Changes since 10.6 (see the ChangeLog supplied with the source
for more details):
o Inclusion of POSIX documentation.
o Bug fixes and changes including:
- exit with the correct status when sendwait is set
- fix Base64 decoding
- fix handling of addresses with / in them
- fix handling of autocc and autobcc variables
- Obey POSIX standards for ~w
- Handling escape sequences in quoted arguments in commands
for compatibility with System V mailx and POSIX.
The Sender Rewriting Scheme preserves .forward functionality in an
SPF-compliant world.
SPF requires the SMTP client IP to match the envelope sender
(return-path). When a message is forwarded through an intermediate
server, that intermediate server may need to rewrite the return-path to
remain SPF compliant. If the message bounces, that intermediate server
needs to validate the bounce and forward the bounce to the original
sender.
SRS provides a convention for return-path rewriting which allows
multiple forwarding servers to compact the return-path. SRS also
provides an authentication mechanism to ensure that purported bounces
are not arbitrarily forwarded.
milter protocol in pure Perl. This allows Sendmail servers (and perhaps
other MTAs implementing milter) to filter and modify mail in transit
during the SMTP connection, all in Perl.
This also includes a drop-in replacement for the Sendmail::Milter API,
making it possible for legacy perl milters to function as-is with the
PMilter engine.
From the changelog:
* Add an error handler for the case where a POP3 server returns a message
that isn't even close to valid 822 format, particularly one where the
first line in the message header is a continuation line (starts with
whitespace).
assume that we want /usr/sbin/sendmail, but we don't currently have a
good solution to that problem, and this is consistent with an existing
change that was made to this package.
Closes PR pkg/24678.
Changes since version 8.12.10:
Use QueueFileMode when opening qf files. This error was a
regression in 8.12.10. Problem detected and diagnosed
Lech Szychowski of the Polish Power Grid Company.
Properly count the number of queue runners in a work group and
make sure the total limit of MaxQueueChildren is not
exceeded. Based on patch from Takayuki Yoshizawa of
Techfirm, Inc.
Take care of systems that can generate time values where the
seconds can exceed the usual range of 0 to 59.
Problem noted by Randy Diffenderfer of EDS.
Avoid regeneration of identical queue identifiers by processes
whose process id is the same as that of the initial
sendmail process that was used to start the daemon.
Problem noted by Randy Diffenderfer of EDS.
When a milter invokes smfi_delrcpt() compare the supplied
recipient address also against the printable addresses
of the current list to deal with rewritten addresses.
Based on patch from Sean Hanson of The Asylum.
BadRcptThrottle now also works for addresses which return the
error mailer, e.g., virtusertable entries with the
right hand side error:. Patch from Per Hedeland.
Fix printing of 8 bit characters as octals in log messages.
Based on patch by Andrey J. Melnikoff.
Undo change of algorithm for MIME 7-bit base64 encoding to 8-bit
text that has been introduced in 8.12.3. There are some
examples where the new code fails, but the old code works.
To get the 8.12.3-8.12.10 version, compile sendmail with
-DMIME7TO8_OLD=0. If you have an example of improper
7 to 8 bit conversion please send it to us.
Return normal error code for unknown SMTP commands instead of
the one specified by check_relay or a milter for a
connection. Problem noted by Andrzej Filip.
Some ident responses contain data after the terminating CRLF which
causes sendmail to log "POSSIBLE ATTACK...newline in string".
To avoid this everything after LF is ignored.
If the operating system supports O_EXLOCK and HASFLOCK is set
then a possible race condition for creating qf files
can be avoided. Note: the race condition does not
exist within sendmail, but between sendmail and an
external application that accesses qf files.
Log the proper options name for TLS related mising files for
the CACertPath, CACertFile, and DHParameters options.
Do not split an envelope if it will be discarded, otherwise df
files could be left behind. Problem found by Wolfgang
Breyha.
The use of the environment variables HOME and HOSTALIASES has been
deprecated and will be removed in version 8.13. This only
effects configuration which preserve those variable via the
'E' command in the cf file as sendmail clears out its entire
environment.
Portability:
Add support for Darwin 7.0/Mac OS X 10.3 (a.k.a. Panther).
Solaris 10 has unsetenv(), patch from Craig Mohrman of
Sun Microsystems.
LIBMILTER: Add extra checks in case a broken MTA sends bogus data
to libmilter. Based on code review by Rob Grzywinski.
SMRSH: Properly assemble commands that contain '&&' or '||'.
Problem noted by Eric Lee of Talking Heads.
New Files:
devtools/OS/Darwin.7.0
by moving the inclusion of buildlink3.mk files outside of the protected
region. This bug would be seen by users that have set PREFER_PKGSRC
or PREFER_NATIVE to non-default values.
BUILDLINK_PACKAGES should be ordered so that for any package in the
list, that package doesn't depend on any packages to the left of it
in the list. This ordering property is used to check for builtin
packages in the correct order. The problem was that including a
buildlink3.mk file for <pkg> correctly ensured that <pkg> was removed
from BUILDLINK_PACKAGES and appended to the end. However, since the
inclusion of any other buildlink3.mk files within that buildlink3.mk
was in a region that was protected against multiple inclusion, those
dependencies weren't also moved to the end of BUILDLINK_PACKAGES.
the mutt Makefiles already automatically add "intl" to the list of
directories to search for headers, and it fixes breakage when the
shell tries to execute "top_srcdir".
- When mail is submitted at a high rate with the Postfix sendmail
command, the pickup daemon is keps busy long enough that it it
terminated by the watchdog timer (a feature that prevents Postfix
from locking up permanently).
- Malformed addresses in SMTP commands could result in table looks
with zero-length search strings, causing trouble with NIS lookups.
No longer dependent on Digest::Nilsimsa
External taint patches no longer necessary.
Changes since 2.36
* Applied another Makefile.PL patch from Michael Schwern to correctly
install manpages in part 5 of the manual set in various versions of
perl.
* Applied patch from Mark Martinec and Vivek Khera of Amavisd to
untaint various file targets obtained from user input. This is the
same patch pointed to by the SpamAssassin FAQ
[http://www.spamassassin.org/released/Razor2.patch]
* Support for HTTP 1.1 tunneling [SF patch #821324] by Jon Schewe.
* Applied Anne Bennett's patch to Logger.pm to introduce a new log
target, "syslog-sys", that talks to Syslog over a Unix socket rather
than a TCP socket.
* Applied Anne Bennett's patch to deHTML.xs to get rid of the type
mismatch warning.
* Removed computation of signatures that are no longer supported by
the backend -- engines 1, 2 and 3. Digest::Nilsimsa no longer
required by Razor Agents.
