MailScanner ANNOUNCE: stable 4.67.6 released

[Julian Field]

Morning all!

I have just released the latest stable release of MailScanner, 4.67.6.

There are quite a lot of changes, it's been a couple of months since my 
last confession^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hrelease, here are the important ones:
    - Added support for the ESET virus scanner.
    - Added support for BitDefender 7.5.
    - Implemented file MIME type checking, as reported by the "file -i" 
command.
    - Added working support for the Symantec Scan Engine.
    - --debug-sa output greatly improved to make debugging SpamAssassin 
problems easier.
    - Checks made on %org-name% to ensure there are no illegal characters.

You can all download it as usual from www.mailscanner.info.

The full Change Log is this:
* New Features and Improvements *
1 Added support for the ESET virus scanner, from www.eset.com. Support 
written
  by Phil (UxBoD). Many thanks! Just use "Virus Scanners = esets" in
  MailScanner.conf and check you have installed it in the expected 
location or
  change /etc/MailScanner/virus.scanners.conf.
2 "MailScanner --lint" now checks to ensure unrar is installed and 
executable.
2 Esets autoupdater now accurately reports status results.
3 Implemented file MIME type checking, as reported by the "file -i" command.
  This includees 3 new settings, which all work just like their non-MIME
  brothers: "Log Permitted File MIME Types", "Allow File MIME Types" and 
"Deny
  File MIME Types".
  The main use is via the filetype.rules.conf file, where a new optional 
field
  may be added just after the regular expression field (just after the 2nd
  field in each line). If this field is added, then the "file -i" command is
  run on every batch of messages and the output checked against the MIME 
types
  specified in the newly inserted 3rd field (out of fields 1-5 on each 
line of
  filetype.rules.conf files).
4 Added compatibility for BitDefender 7.5 to bitdefender-wrapper.
4 --debug now tells you when it's waiting for its batch of messages, and how
  big the batch is.
4 "Use TNEF = replace" behaviour changed to add attachments with their 
original
  potentially very long filenames instead of a sanitised one.
4 Linux RPM install.sh fixed for Fedora Core 8. Thanks to 
scud at etailengine.com f
or that one.
4 Improvement to the phishing net to allow all the links that look like 
this:
  Name of my Blog - http://site.blogspot.com/
4 Installation order of Perl module changed to install File::Spec before 
ExtUtil
s::MakeMaker, which should help the Solaris folks.
5 Made warning about %org-name% containing illegal characters a lot more
  obvious when running "MailScanner --debug" as well as "MailScanner 
--lint".
5 Any mail headers inserted with spaces in them will have spaces 
replaced with
  hyphens.
5 When "MailScanner --debug --debug-sa" is run, the start of every line of
  SpamAssassin debugging output now has the current time stuck on the front
  of it. This makes looking for pauses a whole lot easier.
6 Improvements to the init.d scripts for the RPM distributions. While 
waiting
  for the MailScanner processes to die of natural causes, they periodically
  send them another kill signal as there are a few cases in which the kill
  signals are ignored. This should result in far more reliable restarting.
6 "sophos-autoupdate" improved to handle new "suspicious" threat data files
  whose names start with "sus".

* Fixes *
4 Improved definition of "Scan Messages" when using Postfix, to attempt to
  avoid occasional double delivery of unscanned messages on heavily loaded
  servers.
5 Maliciously crafted attachment filenames could circumvent the 'very-long-
  filename' rule in filename.rules.conf. Fixed.
5 Fix to include "ClamAVModule" in log outputs from it.
5 Symantec Scan Engine support problems now fixed. Set the path in
  MailScanner's virus.scanners.conf to "/opt/SYMCScan". If set to that 
value,
  it expects to see the Linux command-line scanner in the file
  /opt/SYMCScan/ssecls/ssecls.
