MIMEDefang is an e-mail filter program which works with Sendmail 8.12
and later. MIMEDefang filters all e-mail messages sent via SMTP.
MIMEDefang splits multi-part MIME messages into their components and
potentially deletes or modifies the various parts. It then
reassembles the parts back into an e-mail message and sends it on its
way.
MIMEDefang is written (mostly) in Perl, and the filter actions are
expressed in Perl. This makes MIMEDefang highly flexible and
configurable. As a simple example, you can delete all *.exe and *.com
files, convert all Word documents to HTML, and allow other attachments
through.
MIMEDefang uses the "milter" feature of Sendmail to "listen in" to
SMTP connections. It runs a scan once for each message, not once for
each recipient (as simpler procmail-based systems do.) Therefore, it
is more CPU-friendly than procmail-based systems. In addition,
because MIMEDefang can participate in the SMTP connection, you can
bounce messages (something impossible to do with procmail-based
systems.)
The sendmail Mail Filter API (Milter) is designed to allow third-party
programs access to mail messages as they are being processed in order to
filter meta-information and content.
libmilter provides the implementation of this API.
Large number of bug fixes and feature enhancements, especially Milter
(Mail Filter) support and by default installation of sendmail does not use
set-user-ID root anymore.

libESMTP is a library to manage posting (or submission of) electronic
mail using SMTP to a preconfigured Mail Transport Agent (MTA).
It may be used as part of a Mail User Agent (MUA) or another program that
needs to post electronic mail but where mail functionality is not
the program's primary purpose.
extension Makefile fragments, because they really don't have anything to
do with the buildlink[12] frameworks. Change all the Makefiles that use
application.buildlink.mk and extension.buildlink.mk to use application.mk
and extension.mk instead.

the archive was causing the server to tar.Z the direcctory on the fly, and we ended
up with an archive containing the source archive. This was blocked by the checksum.
Fixed the archive path.
* Pass the LDFLAGS through to the build process so that the final binaries
are built with the appropriate -Wl,-R flags. This should fix pkg/18054.
* Use ROOT_{USER,GROUP} instead of hardcoding "root" and "wheel" when
installing poppassd.

checkpassword compatible programs such as checkpassword-pam
(http://checkpasswd-pam.sourceforge.net/).

* New config variable, `X_TMDA_IN_SUBJECT' which turns on parsing of
the Subject header for X-TMDA override actions. See description in
Defaults.py for more information.
* New config variable, `ADDED_HEADERS_SERVER' which allows you to add
arbitrary headers to all server-sent (i.e, tmda-filter) messages.

and Message mode, has been added to the contrib directory. This is
super-cool, Jason sez check it out!
* Major improvements to the filter file language, courtesy of Tim,
including:
- The addition of "macro" definition and expansion.
- The addition of variable interpolation.
- A new argument, `-optional', for all rules that access files.
- Support for nested filter files with the 'include' statement.
For more information on these new features, see the updated TMDA
Filter Specification (http://tmda.net/config-filter.html).
* Logging capability for client-side message (i.e, those sent with
tmda-sendmail). Set LOGFILE_OUTGOING in your config to enable this.
* New version of tmda.el.
* Fixed a bug which prevented the `from/to-mailman' filter sources
from working.
- Mail::Mailer::_clean_up left an extra space behind each header line.
- Mail::Mailer::_clean_up trims folded headerlines on more than two lines.
- The fix for nested comments in Mail::Address's
"Mark Overmeer <mailtools@overmeer.net> (mailtools maintainer)"
was parsed into two separate objects
- Mail::Mailer::_cleanup_headers unfolds the header lines, but
forgot to remove the indentation blanks
- Mail::Cap::new has two new options
- typo in Mail/Mailer/rfc822.pm
- Add Content-Disposition to the list of structured header fields
- Mail/Mailer/smtp.pm which enables the passing-on of args to Net::SMTP
* GnuPG improvements and fix
o The line endings are canonicalized correctly before signing.
WARNING: don't sign messages with Sylpheed prior to this version
since they didn't fully conform RFC3156 and may cause
incompatibility between other MUAs.
o The feature to store passphrase in memory temporarily has been
implemented.
o The ascii-armored encryption and clear text signing has been
implemented.

* Time stamp has been added to the log messages.
* Temporary files are created under ~/.sylpheed/tmp/.
* The problem of folder and summary view refresh on incorporation has
been fixed.
* The correct FQDN will be returned to server.
* Some major memory leaks have been fixed.
* Some other bugs have been fixed.
SpamAssassin is a mail filter which attempts to identify spam using text
analysis and several internet-based realtime blacklists.
Using its rule base, it uses a wide range of heuristic tests on mail
headers and body text to identify "spam", also known as unsolicited
commercial email.
Once identified, the mail can then be optionally tagged as spam for later
filtering using the user's own mail user-agent application.
In its most recent test, SpamAssassin differentiated between spam and
non-spam mail correctly in 99.94% of cases. Since then, it's just been
getting better and better!
Maiman is a e-mail list manager. It includes a web interface for
management from a user (subscribe/unsuscribe) and administrator point
of view, as well as the traditionnal command-though-emails management.
It also offers web-browsable mailing-list archives.
The following is a summary of sigificant changes since 2.5.3. Please
see CHANGES in the distfile for the full list of changes.
* The following mail header fields added to list of fields that can
contain mail addresses: mail-reply-to, original-bcc, original-cc,
original-from, original-sender, original-to, resent-bcc, x-envelope.
Applicable to MAILTO, MAILTOURL, and ADDRESSMODIFYCODE resources.
* Added MHonArc::UTF8 CHARSETCONVERTER module as recommended at
<http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=131512&repeatmerged=yes>.
However, module redone to use utf8 pragma in Perl where appropriate
and to remove unnecessary code. Use of module does require that
the Unicode::MapUTF8 module is installed and the utf8 pragma is
supported in the version of Perl you are using.
* Added MIMEALTPREFS resource: Content-type preferences for
multipart/alternative data. You can now tell MHonArc to use the
text/plain part over a text/html part in multipart/alternative
messages.
* Added the following resources:
IDXPGSSMARKUP Markup at the beginning of all index pages.
MSGPGSSMARKUP Markup at the beginning of all message pages.
TIDXPGSSMARKUP Markup at the beginning of all thread index pages.
Each resource will default to the value of the SSMARKUP resource
if not defined.
* Removed references to HEADER and FOOTER resources in the docs.
Resources removed in v2.5.0.
* Updated default resource layout settings in docs to use lowercase
tag names since MHonArc changed to use lowercase in defaults
in v2.4.7.
* Added NOSUBJECTTXT resource: Defines raw subject text to use
for messages that do not have a subject.
* Incorporated format=flowed support into mhtxtplain.pl contributed
by Ken Hirsch, with some minor improvements.
* mha-decode now supports the following option: -dcd-digest. This
tells mha-decode to not recursively process attached message/rfc822
and message/news entities. This option is useful to extract
out all the individual messages of a message digest.
* Added message/rfc822 and message/news to mhmimetypes.pl
content-type => extension/description hash. The extension used
is ".822".
Changes since 0.8.0:
* The regression of Japanese code conversion have been fixed.
* The problem in MIME header encoding has been fixed.
* Several memory leaks in the address book have been fixed.
