officially GPL-compatible.

now works OK even if started up without Internet access.
* Switched from _( to GT_( as a gettext macro, in order to avoid a
conflict with the SSL library.
foo-* to foo-[0-9]*. This is to cause the dependencies to match only the
packages whose base package name is "foo", and not those named "foo-bar".
A concrete example is p5-Net-* matching p5-Net-DNS as well as p5-Net. Also
change dependency examples in Packages.txt to reflect this.
- SECURITY FIX: Fixed a security hole that is exploitable if fetchmail is
running as root and the attacker can either subvert the mailserver or
redirect to a fake one using DNS spoofing. Bugtraq announcement to follow
soon. Thanks to Salvatore Sanfilippo <antirez@invece.org>.
- Eliminated second bounce on failed RCPT TO address.
- Always use fetchmail host's FQDN to identify the daemon when
sending bounce messages.
- Embarrassing bug of the month -- somehow, 'skip' wasn't being interpreted!
- Handle ! in RFC2821 Return-Path addresses properly.
- Better handling of BAD and NO responses to FETCH (thank Justin Guyett).
- Fixed *yet another- build error due to breakage in the i18n code.
- Refuse mail that has no good addresses and can't be sent to postmaster.
- Restore behavior of discarding mail on 550 (Debian bug #105237).
- John Summerfield updated getfetchmail.
- Cleanup patches by HMH.
- Lock-file-name bug reported by Scott Johnson.
- Updated Danish translation by Byrial Jensen.

since version 5.8.10:
- Corrected Rob Braun's remote-build change, it broke the build with NLS.
- Found (and killed) a subtle SMTP protocol error that was probably lurking
behind a lot of the bug reports related to bounce mail, thanks to Quoc Luu.
(Only manifested when the MTA rejected mail due to a bad RCPT TO address.)
- Correction for backslash-handling patch in rfc822.c.
- Fix for Debian bug Bug#1038222: fetchmail conf fails to write file
after configuration; move .fetchmailrc to .fetchmailrc.bak before
overwriting.
- Discard Return-Path headers consisting of a single @.
- Make fetchmailconf dump plugin and plugout options properly.
- Rob Braun's changes for building fetchmail outside its source directory
- Don't depend on having snprintf available.
- Bug fix for envskip.
- ODMR finally seems to be working.
- Handle multiple backslashes within RFC822 address strings correctly.
- Don't exit on a failure to DNS-resolve a mailserver name, just
make it inactive. Exit only if all lookups fail.
- Restore code to deal with SMTP error responses at RCPT TO time, but
without issuing an RSET. This is intended to fix obscure bugs that
show up in recent Postfix releases and sendmail configurations that
delay antispam checks on the MAIL FROM line until RCPT TO time.
- Signal-processing fix for Debian bug #102711.
- More ODMR patches from Matt Armstrong.

the list of domains to be queried in ETRN and ODMR modes. Instead, use
the `fetchdomains' option.

* Fixed brown-paper-bag password bug (only showed up if it was necessary
to prompt for a password). This fixes Debian bug #86350: Fetchmail doesn't
ask for password.

* CRAM-MD5 authentication of IMAP and POP3 is working. Tested against
IMAP4rev1 2000.287 and v2000.70 POP3 gateway at neo.netnea.com.
* Full support for POP3 AUTH (RFC1734) with KERBEROS_IV, GSSAPI, OTP.
This code has been completely refactored. In the process, it is
possible I have broken GSSAPI, KERBEROS, and OPIE; this needs to be tested.
The old IMAP-LOGIN, IMAP-GSS, and IMAP-K4 protocols are gone; fetchmail
now uses these automatically when it detects the right capabilities.
To prevent having fetchmail look for a password, specify a "preauth"
option other than "password".
* Noted that Debian bugs #78963, #63064, #81312, #78796, #78363, #78149,

* Horst Klokow's patch to make interface check the remote IP address.

user will get a notification).

* In the fetchmail RPM spec, stop compressing the man pages. Turns out
rpm-4.0 does a find(1) over the stuff to be installed and gzip(1)s the
manpages it finds. This gets messed up by the explicit symlink among
manpages in the spec file, which rpm redoes and gets all wrong.
* Added Antoine Beaupre's dropdelivered option.
fetchmail-5.4.3 (Sun Jul 2 14:24:28 EDT 2000), 19080 lines:
* Fixed Debian bug #63667, fetchmailconf: doesn't write .fetchmailrc properly.
* RFC2177 IDLE should now be done even when there are no messages.
* Joerg Plate's SSL typo fix.
* Try to limit the damage bad UIDL handling can do by refusing to mess with
the UIDL state if there has been an error.
* Better isafile test -- bizarrely enough, Linux ptys have S_ISBLK.
* Includes for SSL now use the openssl directory, which has been standard
since OpenSSL 0.9.3. If this breaks your build, upgrade your SSL.

* Julian Haight added hostaddr reporting in the "Received: from" clause.
* NT material added to FAQ item O9.
* Commented out the socket-shutdown code that was causing mystery hangs under
Red Hat 6.2. We can live with a socket leak (assuming it comes back) nmore
easily than we can live with fetchmail getting wedged in place.
* Werner Almesberger <almesber@lrc.epfl.ch> sent minor bug fixes for BSMTP.
fetchmail-5.4.0 (Sat May 13 18:24:21 EDT 2000), 18977 lines:
