1. After a successful delivery, the message log file was being fclosed twice;
some operating systems' C libraries just ignore the second fclose, but others
crashed; this caused -J files to be left lying about.
2. The "contains" operation in filter files was failing to find matches when
the initial character of the searched-for string was duplicated in the subject
string, e.g. searching for "[Boston]" in "[[Boston] ..." failed. The bug was in
the "strstric()" function, which would also have affected -R and -S operations.
Changes include:
Mail::Header
- fold_line now skips X-Face lines
Mail::Filter
- Applied patch from <pncu_ss@uhura.cc.rochester.edu> (Josh Pincus)

originally.)

fetchmail-5.1.4 (Sun Nov 7 17:40:21 EST 1999), 18302 lines:
* Mike Pearce's patch to fix a compile-time error recently introduced into
the socket code when HAVE_INET_ATON is off.
* Added warning to fetchmailconf autoprobe about a flaky Netscape IMAP server.
* Disable duplicate suppression when there is only one recognized recipient.
fetchmail-5.1.3 (Sun Oct 31 12:19:52 EST 1999), 18290 lines:
* Grant Edwards's patch to correct NTLM behavior.
* James Brister's fix for IP-address hostnames.
* Updated config.guess and config.sub.
* Backed out the 5.1.0 change to quote usernames with embedded spaces.
It actually breaks things.
* Added to fetchmailconf a warning about Imail IMAP servers.
* SSL patches by Michael Warfield merged in. Distribution still contains
no crypto code.
fetchmail-5.1.2 (Thu Oct 7 09:46:07 EDT 1999), 17906 lines:
* Joe Loughry <loughry@uswest.net> sent a patch to handle multihomed machines.
* Changed mimedecode default to `off'; it seems that doing RFC2047 decoding
on headers throws away information that the MUA may need to see.
* Change Received header parsing to no longer demand an embedded dot in
a mailhost address.
* Incorporated Grant Edwards's ntlmlib-0.2 with fixes for byte-order problems.
fetchmail-5.1.1 (Wed Sep 29 11:52:06 EDT 1999), 17827 lines:
* Added workaround, fetchmailconf warning, and FAQ about Novell GroupWise.

* Fixed a logfile bug dumping IMAP-LOGIN and IMAP-CRAM-MD5.
* Tolerate a tunable constant number of authorization failures before
complaining and wedging.
This is another version from the release candidate series. The reason
for immediately releasing this version is a buffer overflow in the
text/enriched handler which can be triggered by means of
suitably-formatted e-mail messages. Thus, we recommend you upgrade
your mutt installations immediately.
fetchmail-5.1.0 (Wed Sep 22 01:27:42 EDT 1999):
* CRAM-MD5 code now doublequotes usernames with embedded spaces. This will
probably fail (the RFCs don't support quoting) but it's better than nothing
and works with at least one server.
* Federico G. Schwindt's fix for NetBSD/OpenBSD --with-kerberos.
* auth keyword and option changed to preauth.
* Correct the exit value when .fetchmailrc permissions are wrong.
* getmail/gotmail scripts by Thomas Nesges added to contrib.
* Guenther H. Leber's fix for a potential uid.c buffer overflow.
* Todd Sabin's option to force IMAP authentication type; enables working
around some broken servers.
fetchmail-5.0.8 (Tue Sep 14 06:56:50 EDT 1999):
* Todd Sabin's patch to accept spaces in CRAM-MD5 names.
* Fix to CRAM endianness patch, by Dan Root via Lawrence Rogers.
* Suppress duplicates by message ID in multidrop mode.
* NTLM support for querying Microsoft Exchange servers, from Grant Edwards.
* Lexer fix by Brian Boutel.
Quick guide for compiling packages:
- set KERBEROS=4 or KERBEROS=5 in /etc/mk.conf
Quick guide for configuring Kerberos support in a package Makefile:
- test for KERBEROS value and enable the appropriate version with
CONFIGURE_ARGS or other means and set USE_KERBEROS=yes
- make sure to disable Kerberos support otherwise (especially if
using configure, which might automatically detect it)
- BUILD_DEFS and RESTRICTED are set automatically in bsd.pkg.mk
when USE_KERBEROS=yes is set
Incompatible changes with postfix-19990906
==========================================
- On systems that use user.lock files to protect system mailboxes
against simultaneous updates, Postfix now uses /file/name.lock
files while delivering to files specified in aliases/forward/include
files. This is a no-op when the recipient lacks directory write
permission.
- The LDAP client code no longer looks up a name containing "*"
because it could be abused. See the LDAP_README file for how to
restore previous behavior.
- The Postfix to PCRE interface now expects PCRE version 2.08.
Postfix is no longer compatible with PCRE versions prior to 2.06.
Major changes with postfix-19990906
===================================
Several bugfixes, none related to security. See the HISTORY file
for a complete list of changes.
- Postfix is now distributed under IBM Public License Version 1.0
which does not carry the controversial termination clause. The new
license does have a requirement that contributors make source code
available.
- INSTALL.sh install/upgrade procedure that replaces existing
programs and shell scripts instead of overwriting them, and that
leaves existing queue files and configuration files alone.
- The ugly Delivered-To: header can now be turned off selectively.
The default setting is: "prepend_delivered_header = command, file,
forward". Turning off the Delivered-To: header when forwarding
mail is not recommended.
- mysql client support by Scott Cotton and Joshua Marcus, Internet
Consultants Group, Inc. See the file MYSQL_README for instructions.
- reject_unauth_destination SMTP recipient restriction that rejects
destinations not in $relay_domains. Unlike the check_relay_domains
restriction, reject_unauth_destination ignores the client hostname.
By Lamont Jones of Hewlett-Packard.
- reject_unauth_pipelining SMTP *anything* restriction to stop mail
from spammers that improperly use SMTP command pipelining to speed
up their deliveries.
- Postfix "sendmail" now issues a warning and drops privileges if
installed set-uid root.
- No more duplicate delivery when "postfix reload" is immediately
followed by "sendmail -q".
- No more "invalid argument" errors when a Postfix daemon opens a
DB/DBM file while some other process is changing the file.
- Portability to the Mac OS X Server, Reliant Unix, AIX 3.2.5 and
Ultrix 4.3.
