I have just released the first beta version of 4.60.
- -- Fixed problem causing a few false alarms in RBLs.
- -- Custom Functions now take parameters to their per-message invocation
as well as to the Init and End functions.
- -- "clamavmodule" scanner no longer detects password-protected archives
as viruses, allowing them to be easily released in MailWatch.
- -- Phishing net now correctly handles HTML tags inside links.
Download as usual from www.mailscanner.info.
Please do help me by testing this release!
Many thanks.
The full Change Log is this:
* New Features and Improvements *
1 Improved Sophos.install script so that it sets up /etc/ld.so.conf
ready for
installation of Perl-SAVI module required for "sophossavi" virus scanner.
1 Custom Functions can now receive parameters not only to their Init and End
functions, but also to their run-time calculation functions (i.e. the real
custom function itself used when processing each message). The Custom
Function is now passed not only the message, but also a ref to a list of
parameters specified in the MailScanner.conf file.
1 Improvement to phishing net.
1 'clamavmodule' scanner no longer detects encrypted zips/rars as viruses,
leaving MailScanner to do the check later in the dangerous content
scanning.
The consequence is that MailWatch will allow them to be released from
quarantine.
* Fixes *
1 Phishing net now correctly handles HTML tags inside links.
1 Deprecated clamscan flag replaced with supported one to stop it printing
the summary.
1 Added '-b' to nod32-1.99 command-line options in SweepViruses.pm to stop
scanner producing licensing details. Thanks to UxBoD.
1 Removed test in RPM distribution's test for RedHat 6 as it will clash with
RHEL 6 and Fedora. Anyone still running RedHat 6 has bigger problems! :-)
1 Worked round Perl bug in returning number of RBLs hit by a message.
1 Fixed problem causing some password-protected RAR archives to be missed.
