> -- Added configuration option to control compilation of SpamAssassin code
> for speed
> -- Added support for RBL lists that work by domain name rather than by IP
> number
> -- Added configuration option to list viruses that should be quietly
> deleted without informing the sender or recipient. A good example is the
> "Klez" worm
> -- Added configuration option to allow the "VirusWarning.txt" message to
be
> inline or an attachment
> -- Added configuration option to enable SpamAssassin's "auto-whitelist"
> functionality
> -- Added optional internal TNEF expansion using CPAN Perl Convert::TNEF
module

> -- Updated version of MIME-tools module shipped and included
> mime-tools-patch.txt from Bugtraq
> -- RPM installation will automatically patch MIME-tools as it is installed

> -- Won't call SpamAssassin on every message when it doesn't need to
> -- Added MIME scanning option to McAfee scanner command-line
>
> Fixes:
> =====
> -- Now requires at least Perl 5.005 due to bugs in previous versions of
Perl
> -- Signatures on clean messages can now have a space at the end of a line
> -- Fixed bug (according to a user) in the Inoculan output parser. Not
> verified yet.
> -- Hopefully the "not spam" entries appear in the right messages now
> -- Fixed bug where some unscanned messages were being marked as clean
> -- Fixed bug where some "%" signs could disappear from Subject: headers
> --
