A quiet month this time, compared to January! There is just one major addition this month, an option "Use TNEF Contents". - -- You can set this to "no", "add" or "replace". - -- Unless you set it to "no", the attachments contained within the winmail.dat file, present in TNEF "Outlook Rich Text Format" messages, will be expanded and attached to the message as new attachments. - -- If you set it to "replace" the original winmail.dat file will then be removed, leaving the message the same size as when it arrived, which is important to users with slow connections or tight quotas. Download it as usual from www.mailscanner.info. The full Change Log is this: * New Features and Improvements * - - Syntax checking of Spam Actions (and its brothers) at run time. Message will be delivered if an error is found. - - Improved detection of Solaris GCC in the installers. - - New option "Use TNEF Contents" allows you to add the contents of winmail.dat attachments to messages in TNEF format. This means that users not running Microsoft Outlook can read attachments put there by badly-configured Outlook or Exchange systems. Valid values are "no", "add" or "replace" which do pretty much what they say. Explanations are in MailScanner.conf. - - Improved PID handling in sendmail on SuSE systems. - -- Julian Field www.MailScanner.info Buy the MailScanner book at www.MailScanner.info/store PGP footprint: EE81 D763 3DB0 0BFD E1DC 7222 11F6 5947 1415 B654 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP Desktop 9.0.5 (Build 5050) iQEVAwUBRAVgvvw32o+k+q+hAQEIIAgAppuRfK4fQx8WPrFG1hVkVIYkslb7oFFd 9+XdDXzMKlHkWyPvIZeGoBHPMBL6ukmg7upPpGRKaoAFmpeiB0WMFIt6Dhv7eLJQ mu2Abju+BhRQ1fI01BIU+JfD2L+n9owrZrRIiQfJXYxfV6GhQvv3sTO+rQZ+5une q5apY7H0XO325MaQ7kJN8AGjejpl+GMaJP5zz5y6pMY7Ghe3HXYYQFF41A59DauS oG/YFlLXS6FQvvxCgNJDNeNn+Xdjrdq0VTxhEkwK/OrLtmmjKiPwZ7EReM/7TCUw e96mWNAycci4CJ8bEH6NzPu3oCKjrUPZ0r2ByboPZcCueQ/nw73F4w== =oaNs -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. From MailScanner at ecs.soton.ac.uk Sat Mar 11 20:22:44 2006 From: MailScanner at ecs.soton.ac.uk (Julian Field) Date: Sat Mar 11 20:24:30 2006 Subject: MailScanner ANNOUNCE: 4.51.6: Messages getting stuck in incoming queue with 4.51.5? Message-ID: <44133194.1010202@ecs.soton.ac.uk> Some of you have experienced problems with occasional messages getting stuck in the incoming queue with the latest version, when you have Use TNEF Contents = replace set in MailScanner.conf. This happened with messages that are delivery error report messages that contain the whole of the failed message. Fortunately these are pretty rare these days as most MTAs open quote the headers, or the first few lines of the message. I have found and fixed the bug, now I actually have a copy of a message that suffers from the problem! I have released 4.51.6 to fix this bug. It is only worth upgrading if you are using 4.51 and are suffering from this problem. The new feature was introduced in 4.51 so there's no need to upgrade unless you are already running 4.51. Sorry about this, but I wanted to get the fix out now rather than leaving it till the start of April. My set of test messages didn't include a message with exactly the right MIME structure to show this bug. :-( Many apologies. -- Julian Field www.MailScanner.info Buy the MailScanner book at www.MailScanner.info/store Professional Support Services at www.MailScanner.biz MailScanner thanks transtec Computers for their support PGP footprint: EE81 D763 3DB0 0BFD E1DC 7222 11F6 5947 1415 B654 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
