ANNOUNCE: Version 3.22-5 released

[Julian Field]

I have just released Version 3.22-5.

Many thanks to the beta testers for finding the odd obscure bug.

A few new features this time:

* Spam White List configuration option now gives a filename whose contents
are checked against both the sender's address and the recipients' addresses.
* Max Spam List Timeouts configuration value gives the threshold for the
number of consecutive times a single "Spam List" or "Spam Domain" entry can
timeout before it is removed from the list of places to be checked. It will
be restored to the list at the next restart (every 4 hours by default).
* Max SpamAssassin Timeouts configuration value works the same way as "Max
Spam List Timeouts" except it applies to SpamAssassin instead.
* Hide Incoming Work Dir configuration option allows you to hide the full
directory pathname from the messages sent to users.
* Sign Messages Already Processed configuration option allow you to only
sign messages once, regardless of how many times it has been scanned by
your site.

There are also a few improvements, such as
* automatic cleanup of core files,
* improvements to the RedHat init.d script to ease upgrading,
* improved logging of RBL timeouts, and
* another form of wildcard in all the files that take addresses and
domains. You can now have wildcards like "spam@*" as well as "*.domain.com".

* The RAV installation directory has been changed to /usr/local/rav8/bin
which is where the RAV 8.x installation program puts it.
* The F-Prot autoupdate script now handles stray ^M characters properly,
and incorporates the fix recently published by F-Prot. Please use my
version and not the check-updates.sh as my version correctly locks out
MailScanner while the upgrading is taking place. Failure to do this could
let viruses through while it is being upgraded.
* The "Multple Headers = replace" option is now more robust against bugs in
some versions of Perl.
