Version 2.50 released

[Julian Field]

Hi folks!

I have just released version 2.50.

New features in this release include:
        - Denial Of Service attacks handled using timeouts on the virus scanner
and the TNEF decoder, and a maximum size limit on TNEF attachments.
        - Much better handling of unparsable TNEF attachments.
        - Strict date-order processing of incoming mail queue.
        - Ability to switch off virus scanning.
        - Ability to switch off delivery of messages with viruses removed.
          (Can be useful in big SirCam outbreaks)
        - Creation of a "spam white list" containing email addresses and domains
that will not be marked as spam.
        - Removal of /etc/sendmail.cf from Linux RPM distribution.
All downloadable from the website at
        http://www.sng.ecs.soton.ac.uk/mailscanner

Any problems, give me a shout!

Before upgrading, be sure to save your /etc/sendmail.cf file and
MailScanner configuration files. Compare your old files with the new ones
to include the new features in your configuration.
