pkgsrc/mail/spamassassin/MESSAGE
heinz 0e23fea29c Updated to version 3.2.0.
Pkgsrc changes:
  - Removed PKG_DESTDIR_SUPPORT until the issue with encoded ownership in
    +INSTALL files is resolved.
  - made pkglint shut up about some warnings (CONFIGURE_DIRS, BUILD_DIRS,
    hidden commands with @)
  - parse-rules-for-masses has moved in the source archive.
  - The directories "masses" and "tools" are no longer distributed in the
    archive so I simplified the post-install target.
  - Since "tools" is gone, the post-extract: target is obsolete.
  - MESSAGE now points at sa-compile.
  - Spamc depends on zlib now, so we needed the appropriate buildlink3 file.

Summary of changes since version 3.1.8:
=======================================
 * new behavior for trusted_networks/internal_networks: the 127.* network
 is now always considered trusted and internal, regardless of configuration.

 * bug 3109: short-circuiting of 'definite ham' or 'definite spam' messages
 based on individual short-circuit rules using the 'shortcircuit' setting,
 by Dallas Engelken <dallase /at/ uribl.com>.

 * bug 5305: implement 'msa_networks', for ISPs to specify their Mail
 Submission Agents, and extend network trust accordingly.

 * bug 4636: Add support for charset normalization, so rules can be written
 in UTF-8 to match text in other charsets.

 * sa-compile: compilation of SpamAssassin rules into a fast parallel-matching
 DFA, implemented in native code.

 * "tflags multiple": allow writing of rules that count multiple hits in a
 single message.

 * bug 4363: if a message uses CRLF for line endings, we should use it as
 well, otherwise stay with LF as usual; important for Windows users.

 * bug 4515: content preview was omitting first paragraph when no Subject:
 header was present.

 * The third-party modules used by sa-update are now required by the
 SpamAssassin package, instead of being optional.

 * Bug 5165: 'sa-update --checkonly' added to check for updates without
 applying them; thanks to <anomie /at/ users.sourceforge.net>

 * Bugs 4606, 4609: Adjust MIME parsing limits for nested multipart/* and
 message/rfc822 MIME parts.

 * bug 5295: add 'whitelist_auth', to whitelist addresses that send mail
 using sender-authorization systems like SPF, Domain Keys, and DKIM

 * Removed dependency on Text::Wrap CPAN module.

 * Received header parsing updates/fixes/additions.

Spamc / spamd:

 * bug 4603: Mail::SpamAssassin::Spamd::Apache2 -- mod_perl2 module,
 implementing spamd as a mod_perl module, contributed as a Google Summer of
 Code project by Radoslaw Zielinski.

 * bug 3991: spamd can now listen on UNIX domain, TCP, and SSL sockets
 simultaneously.  Command-line semantics extended slightly, although fully
 backwards compatibly; add the --ssl-port switch to allow TCP and SSL
 listening at the same time.

 * bug 3466: do Bayes expiration, if required, after results have been
 passed back to the client from spamd; this helps avoid client timeouts.

 * more complete IPv6 support.

 * spamc: Add '-K' switch, to ping spamd.

 * spamc: add '-z' switch, which compresses mails to be scanned using
 zlib compression; very useful for long-distance use of spamc over the
 internet.

 * bug 5296: spamc '--headers' switch, which scans messages and transmits
 back just rewritten headers.  This is more bandwidth-efficient than the
 normal mode of scanning, but only works for 'report_safe 0'.

 * Bump spamd's protocol version to 1.4, to reflect new HEADERS verb used
 for '--headers'.

Mail::SpamAssassin modules and API:

 * bug 4589: allow M::SA::Message to use IO::File objects to read in
 message (same as GLOB).

 * bug 4517: rule instrumentation plugin hooks, to measure performance,
 from John Gardiner Myers <jgmyers /at/ proofpoint.com>.

 * add two features to core rule-parsing code; 1. optional behaviour to
 recurse through subdirs looking for .cf/.pre's, to support rules compilers
 working on rulesrc dir.  2. call back into invoking code on lint failure,
 so rule compiler can detect which rules exactly fail the lint check.

 * bug 5206: detect duplicate rules, and silently merge them internally
 for greater efficiency.

 * bug 5243: add Plugin::register_method_priority() API, allowing plugins
 to control the relative ordering of plugin callbacks relative to other
 plugins' implementations.

 * Reduced memory footprint.

Plugins:

 * bug 5236: Support Mail::SPF replacement for Mail::SPF::Query.

 * bug 5127: allow mimeheader :raw rules to match newlines and folded-header
 whitespace in MIME header strings.

 * bug 4770: add ASN.pm plugin, contributed by Matthias Leisi <matthias at
 leisi.net>

 * bug 5271: move ImageInfo ruleset into 3.2.0 core rules, thanks to
 Dallas Engelken <dallase /at/ uribl.com>.

 * VBounce ruleset and plugin: detect spurious bounce messages sent by
 broken mail systems in response to spam or viruses.  (Based on Tim
 Jackson's "bogus-virus-warnings.cf" ruleset.)

 * DomainKeys/DKIM: Mail::DKIM is now preferred over Mail::DomainKeys,
 since the latter module is no longer actively maintained, and Mail::DKIM
 can handle both DomainKeys and DKIM signatures.

 * DKIM: separate signature verification from fetching a policy: can save
 a DNS lookup for each unverified message by setting score to 0 for all
 policy-related rules (DKIM_POLICY_SIGNALL, DKIM_POLICY_SIGNSOME, and
 DKIM_POLICY_TESTING). (thanks to Mark Martinec)

 * DKIM: support testing flags in the public key, as well as in the policy
 record. (thanks to Mark Martinec)

 * DKIM: skip fetching a policy (SSP) if a signature does verify, according
 to draft-allman-dkim-ssp-02 (thanks to Mark Martinec)

 * Move rule functionality and checking into separate Check plugin, allowing
 third parties to implement alternative scanner core algorithms.

 * core EvalTests code moved into various plugins.

* Plus lots of miscellaneous bug fixes.

If you upgrade from an earlier version *PLEASE* take a look at the file
UPGRADE in
${PREFIX}/share/doc/spamassassin/
Some configuration options were changed and some features are now provided
by plugins (they may not be enabled after installation).
For more information see 'perldoc Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf' and the man
pages for 'spamassassin', 'spamd'/'spamc', 'sa-learn', 'sa-update' and
'sa-compile'.
Please check that your existing mail configuration still works.
