changes between 5.3.2 -> 5.3.4:
fetchmail-5.3.4 (Wed Mar 22 15:55:51 EST 2000), 18819 lines:
* Added FAQ item on performance under load.
* Fix Debian bug #60202 (segfaults when given command line arguments).
This only applied to `antispam', as it turned out.
* Work around InterChange's bug with attachments as suggested by
paul666@mailandnews.com.
* Enable checks on multiple folders.
fetchmail-5.3.3 (Mon Mar 13 16:34:29 EST 2000), 18763 lines:
* Fixed reporting of listener timeouts.
* Configure now supports SOCKS5, thanks to Alan Schmitt.
* Fix a minor bug in preauthenticated IMAP, thanks to Urban Boquist
<boquist@crt.se>.
* Try to support suffix matching in aka lists.
of "ptl2" package for thread support. Changes since version 0.5.12:
- Took out file locks since that seemed to cause more problems than good
- Got printing working (sorta)
- Fixed a bug that corrupted some base64 file attachments (my
end-boundary check wasn't quite right)
- Added Catalan language support
- Improved pop3io thanks to a small patch
- The "MAIL FROM" and "RCPT TO" SMTP commands now use <>'s around
the addresses since it is accepted on all known SMTP servers
(and is stated as acceptable arguments in RFC 821)
- Fixed an annoyance that forced you to restart spruce after creating
a new mailbox before you could view it's contents
- Added right-click menu in the mime-parts clist at the bottom of the
preview pane
- Selecting Mime->Display should no longer segfault when
a message is not selected (or when no messages to select)
- Added regex and shell wildcard support to the mail filters
- Made it auto-guess your name and email address based on user
account information
- Added a confirmation dialog for deleting mailboxes
- Added IMAP mailbox listing support (so you can hopefully see
more than just your INBOX)
- Fixed a bug that allowed a user to not specify a From or a To field,
thus causing a segfault.
- Fixed attachments
- Fixed "sender"
- Fixed it so that spruce should never go beyond the end of the header
information to obtain fields like "Reply-To:" or "Date:" for example
(shouldn't have been too much of a problem before but it fumbled for
me once so that's not good ;-)
- Fixed the filter bug that caused strange things to happen when you
deleted the last filter rule
- other minor fixes
- Added Reply-To-All functionality
- I believe I have fixed the segfault causing pthread bug
- Added support to save window pane sizes
- Added support to save sorting preferences
- Improved on the date sorting
- Fixed various minor bugs
- Fixed some IMAPv4r1 issues, seems to be working a little better
now.
- Added most of the support for GNU Privacy Guard by using an alpha
lib Privacy Guard Glue. For GPG support, you must now use
the --enable-gpg configure flag (./configure --enable-gpg)
For reference, I'm currently using Pgg-20000116 and as the author
of Pgg states, new versions are unlikely to be compatable so
be warned that you may need to have the same Pgg lib that I have.
I will be maintaining a file specifying which version of Pgg you
need to use it with Spruce.
- Fixed the segfault/corruption bug caused when a user deleted a
message from a mbox spool
- Various code speedups/cleanups
(if you have IPv4-only sendmail on dual stack node, 5.3.0 may fail to connect).

a Return-Path.
* Fix the attempted fix for Joop Susan's ENOTCONN bug.

* Fix Red Hat 6.2beta bug 9982: fetchmailconf now automatically pups up
an edit panel whenever a new user or site is created.
* Fix Red Hat 6.2beta bug 9987: Deal gracefully with the possibility that
we might be running as a subprocess with stdin not attached to a tty,
and thus unable to query for a password.

#53386, #53732, #58553.
* Resolved Debian wishlist bug #26630.
* Resolution of #59281 (still loops on Ctrl-C) involved a small change in
behavior; SIGPIPE now terminates the current poll cycle.
Changes since 5.2.4:
fetchmail-5.3.0 (Tue Feb 22 08:53:31 PST 2000), 18618 lines:

fetchmail-5.2.6 (Sat Feb 5 00:01:53 EST 2000), 18517 lines:
* Close down sockets using shutdown(2) and discarding read data until we
get a TCP FIN. With any luck this will squash our socket leak.

before close (sigh...NFS might still betray us...).
* Added Martijn Lievaart's sendmail hacks for multidrop to the contrib
directory.
* Fix bug in processing of plugout option.
* AIX port tweak from Dave Marquardt <marquard@austin.ibm.com>.

and passwords.
* Jochen Hayek's patch to handle spaces in UID usernames.
- added missing checksum for the distribution file
- put back GCOS_HACK define (it was removed from patch-cb)
- do not include mhn.defaults in the PLIST to keep protecting it
from upgrades in case it has local modifications
- install mhn.defaults.dist from the "files" directory instead of
using a dynamically generated one (this was the intention always)
- mhn.defaults and mts.conf get installed if they don't exist;
new users do not have to worry about copying *.dist files now
- added comments about the configuration file philosophy in Makefile
Versions prior to 1.0.3 of the nmh package contained a vulnerability
where incoming mail messages with carefully designed MIME headers could
cause nmh's mhshow command to execute arbitrary shell code.
See the changelog for another 372 lines of changes.
for each of the continuation lines, rather than using backslashes to
continue a single, long definition. This makes it much easier to spot
pre-requisite packages and other dependencies.
o Fixed some IMAPv4r1 issues, seems to be working a little better
now.
o Added most of the support for GNU Privacy Guard by using an alpha
lib Privacy Guard Glue. For GPG support, you must now use
the --enable-gpg configure flag (./configure --enable-gpg)

o Added the ability to set customized word-wrap length
o Fixed a bug which led to a incorrectly formatted date in the
header if you had set the locale to some other language.
o Added IMAP cram-md5 (oops, had it commented out before)
o Due to popular demand, I have added blind carbon-copy
functionality
o Fixed a segfault bug in the address book
o Added more NLS files
o You can now select multiple addresses in the address book
o You can choose to have spruce prepend every subject with a
"Re: " (or a "Fw: " - depending on the situation) or you
can choose to have spruce only prepend those if they are
not already in the subject prior to clicking reply/forward
buttons
o Finished adding mbox support (hopefully no bugs ;-)
o Added more command-line arguments and updated the manual
page to reflect these changes
o Added support for encrypted connections for POP and IMAP
thanks to a patch by Erik Forsberg
o Added a manual page
o Fixed one last SMTP bug that wouldn't allow a few
users to send mail.
o Added French, Italian, German, Spanish, and Portuguese
NLS support (I wrote a perl script called makepo.pl in
/po directory. These languages may not be 100% correct)
o You may now use Fetchmail to retrieve messages rather
than Spruce's internal Pop3 code.
o sped up some of the parsers
o various code cleanups
utility. Install both versions, as grepmail-quick and grepmail-full,
and create a symlink to grepmail-full called grepmail.
New in version 4.11:
- Fixed a bug where an ASCII file would not be recognized as a mailbox when
the first couple emails did not have a "From:" line. (Thanks to Jeff Flowers
<jeff.flowers@npl.co.uk>)
- Added standard Perl testing.
New in version 4.1:
- Stripped auto-perl execution code, since it never works on all platforms.
(Installation instructions modified to require the user to fix the #! line.)
- Minor changes to allow grepmail to run without -w complaints.
New in version 4.0:
- Fixed a bug where shell characters needed to be escaped for compressed
files. (Bug found by Richard Clamp <richardc@tw2.com>
- Added #!/bin/sh as first line to make the rest compatible with csh/tcsh
users. (Bug found by Ed Arnold <era@ucar.edu>)
New in version 3.9:
- Took out specialization engine because there wasn't enough support to
program in that style.
- Offering 2 main versions now -- Date::Manip and Date::Parse
- Added -R option, which causes grepmail to recurse any directories
encountered. (Thanks to Emil Tiller <etiller@asc.corp.mot.com> for the
initial code.)
- Fixed a small bug that would cause some attachments not to be identified.
(py-Tk) script used to be installed with fetchmail-5.2.3 and earlier. It's
now factored out, into it's own package, so that it can pull in all the
required depencies to run without adding all that baggage to fetchmail.
fetchmailconf can be made usable by naive users without forcing this
package to depend on py-Tk (and X). Incidently update to 5.2.4:
* Fix bug introduced in 5.2.2 that stopped --syslog from working.
* Update for es.po, fr.po, cs.po.
* Message-string macros eliminated from driver.c so gettext can see them.
* Various useful to version reporting & configure.in fixes by Chip Salzenberg.
* Bernhard Rosenkraenzer's fix for broken Kerberos V configuration.
* Make --logfile work in foreground.
New Features in Exim 3.13
-------------------------
1. There is a new option called auth_always_advertise, available when Exim is
compiled with AUTH support, which defaults TRUE. If it is set FALSE, then Exim
advertises the AUTH command in response to EHLO only if the calling host is in
auth_hosts or host_auth_accept_relay (assuming Exim is configured with some
authenticators). Otherwise it does not advertise AUTH, though it is prepared to
accept it. Certain mail clients (e.g. Netscape) require to the user to provide
a name and password for authentication if AUTH is advertised, even though it
may not be needed (the host may be in host_accept_relay, for example).
Unsetting auth_always_advertise makes these clients more friendly in these
circumstances.
2. The appendfile transport has a new option called allow_fifo. When set, it
permits delivery to named pipes (FIFOs) as well as to regular files. If no
process is reading the named pipe at delivery time, the delivery is deferred.
3. The smartuser now has qualify_preserve_domain, which works the same as it
does for aliasfile and forwardfile.
4. The exim_dbmbuild utility now has a -noduperr option. If set, duplicates in
the input do not cause the return code to be non-zero.
Changes in Exim 3.13
--------------------
1. Incoming SMTP timeouts were getting disabled after certain kinds of
verification.
2. The "senders" setting on directors and routers was getting string expanded
twice, by mistake. This mattered if after the first expansion there was a \ or
a $ in the string (e.g. in a regex).
3. Exim could crash if any rewriting rules that applied to envelope recipients
referred to the contents of any header lines.
4. If an attempt to authenticate using PAM failed because of some error
condition, Exim was accepting rather than rejecting the authentication.
5. Exim crashed if a test for first_delivery or queue_running in an expansion
string was part of an "or" group of which an earlier condition succeeded.
6. LDAP fallover to multiple servers in ldap_default_servers was not working
if an LDAP lookup included initial parameter settings for user, password,
time, etc.
7. A ${hash_n:xxx} expansion did the wrong thing if n was less than the length
of xxx, screwing up later text in the expansion string.
8. The second argument of the pam_converse() function is defined without a
leading "const" in Solaris, unlike Linux. This is now parameterized so that
different OS can use different values, and thereby avoid compile-time warnings.
9. A missing data string for PAM could cause a crash instead of passing back an
empty string.
10. A lookup defer while processing sender_reject was giving a 550 error code
to MAIL instead of 451. For sender_reject_recipients, a lookup defer was
rejecting recipients (with 550); now it gives a 451 to the MAIL command. If
there is a lookup defer while processing host_reject_recipients, it now rejects
the call instead of rejecting the recipients (so there will be a retry later).
If there is a lookup defer while checking host_accept_relay, the rejection now
uses 451 instead of 550.
11. A couple of 450 codes have been changed to 451.
12. Add "(another process is handling this message)" to "Spool file is locked"
to try to forestall the FAQ.
13. When looking up an IP address for a host obtained from MX records in an
IPv6-aware version of Exim, it deferred if the AAAA lookup deferred; now it
goes on to try for the A record in that circumstance. If either record is
found, it is happy (both are used if present); deferral happens only if one of
them deferred and the other did not succeed. Both must fail outright for it to
conclude that there is no available IP address.
14. The sed commands in the Makefile were not quoting their arguments, so if,
for example, something like MV_COMMAND was set to a string containing white
space, the command fell over. This change means that the quotes set up for
EXIWHAT_EGREP_ARG get passed through into the munged script, so remove the ones
in the script. (We can't remove those in Makefile-Default because we can't then
have leading white space in the value.)
15. Some monitor parameters had been overlooked in the default settings in the
eximon script, and not set up so that they could be overridden by environment
variables with names EXIMON_xxxx.
16. Made exiwhat sort process ids numerically. On some systems duplicate
information gets output, so remove duplicate lines in the output.
17. For filter testing (-bf and -bF) output the sender and recipient address at
the start, to avoid confusion.
18. Implemented auth_always_advertise (default TRUE).
19. If an address became local through routing (e.g. via self=local) and it
then passed through a filter which did no significant deliveries, it got passed
back to the routers instead of on to the next director.
20. Add the sender address to the log message for log_refused_recipients,
because recipients_reject_except_senders means that it might matter.
21. Add allow_fifo to appendfile to allow delivery to named pipes.
22. Reword "unavailable filtering command X" as "filtering command X is
available only in system filters".
23. Added qualify_preserve_domain to smartuser, to make it the same as
aliasfile and forwardfile.
24. Added -noduperr to exim_dbmbuild, to prevent an error return just for
duplicate keys.
Bellovin.
Many changes and bug fixes, summarised by Steve as follows:
Changing options in exmh, and in particular clicking 'save', does
bad things. The version of exmh in use is 2.0.2; 2.1.1 is the current
version. 2.1.1 also has much better pgp support.
Also new master site for distribution files, and all patches have been
applied except one.
fetchmail-5.2.3 (Tue Jan 4 01:56:11 EST 2000), 18421 lines:
* Ken Estes's patch to check for unreachable UIDL file due to bad NFS mount.
* Jorge Godoy's replacement pt_BR.po and various minor translation fixes.
* Javier Kohen's replacement for es.po.
* Munechika SUMIKAWA's patch to make IPv6 version build when POP2 is enabled.
* Russian translation removed; it was badly garbled.
* Added Rick van Rein's fetchmaildistrib script to the contrib directory.
* Gunther Leber's cleanup patches.
* Note to translators: The bodies of the login-error and timeout-error
form letters have been changed in driver.c.
fetchmail-5.2.2 (Sun Dec 26 09:31:07 EST 1999), 18365 lines:
* Arrange for fetchmail to restart itself quietly when the rc file is touched.
* Improvements to IPv6 code from Jun-ichiro itojun Hagino <itojun@iijlab.net>.
* Drastic simplification of UIDL code, suggested by Ken Estes.
fetchmail-5.2.1 (Sun Dec 19 23:08:53 EST 1999), 18330 lines:
* Added FAQ item R10 on timeouts during messages.
* Fixed indentation problem in fetchmailconf.
* Federico Schwindt's patch to fix broken SSL configuration.
* Fixes to use fetchmail with IPv6 enabled on glibc without inet6-apps
installed; thanks to Arkadiusz Mis'kiewicz.
* Interpret IMAP PREAUTH tag correctly (from Joerg Dorchain).
* Upgraded to version 0.21 of smbutil.c. FAQ item S2 now documents
how to set a domain name.
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)

versions.
Bugs that have been addressed in this release include:
* 'N' flag not preserved across sessions
* 'N' flag not cleared when messages containing non-text pieces
viewed
* Sort failure using non-UW IMAP servers
* Linux port: failure to recognize resized display
* Problems with quoted /user= argument in smtp-server config
* Transient (e.g., mistyped password) authentication failures not
reported
* Rare cases of deleted header lines reappearing after ^X in
Composer
* Customized headers Bcc, To, Cc and Lcc not shown when posting news
* Problem with role pattern vs. color patterns in a file
* Problem with color display vs. single line scrolling
* Last line of one-page message not displayed in rare cases
* Text in Reply/Forward of encapsulated multipart/alternative and
signed missing
* Failure to recognize list management headers in sorted folder
* Attachments sometimes marked for deletion when scoring in use
* Delayed notification of messages filtered from Inbox to current
folder
* WhereIs to start or end of Folder List screen didn't
* PC-Pine crash selecting text from secondary window
* PC-Pine instances of "FOLDER CLOSED DUE TO ACCESS ERROR"
General improvements include:
* Filter performance and interface tuning:
+ User-Interface changes to avoid accidental deletion of mail
+ Action Folders local to PC-Pine no longer require
double-backslashes
+ Improved expunge performance with filters enabled
* NNTP performance improvements in MESSAGE INDEX screen
* Role Command (#) improvements
* Improved display of addresses containing comma in personal name
* Numerous Text/HTML parser improvements
* Continued help text improvements
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.
* Consistently show dummy arguments on manual page.
* Fix lexer to permit `antispam -1'.
* John Cigas's delay patch to avoid a timing problem with plugins.
* During IMAP authentication, canonicalize both name and password.
* -A has been retired (goes with authenticate -> preauthenticate change).
* Check for both fetchall and keep on in daemon mode; reject this.
* 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.

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.
Against 1.0pre1, there are several build changes (building this
version of mutt with SGI's cc should work), and back-ports of
IMAP-related bug fixes from the unstable branch.
Almost all changes from 0.95.7 concern the build process, which
should work now on those platforms for which problems where reported
with 0.95.7. postfix and qmail users may be interested in the new
$bounce_delivered configuration variable.
fetchmail-5.0.7 (Sat Aug 21 04:26:13 EDT 1999):
* RPA support works again.
* Added debian_rc startup/shutdown script to contrib/.
* Yet another monitor option fix.
* Variouas small option-processing fixes.
* Teach fetchmailconf about HP OpenMail.
* SunOS compilation fixes.
* Steve Dodd's fix to not send bouncemail on transient errors.
* Don Willis's improved UID parsing.
* Fetchmail now logs and recovers from SIGPIPE errors produced by broken
socket streams or MDAs. The current poll cycle is terminated.
- The $in_reply_to configuration variable is gone. The In-Reply-To
header currently only contains the message-id of the message to
which the reply refers. This is to make sure that this header is
correctly formatted.
- Lots of bugs present in 0.95.6 were fixed.
