Beta 4.34.4 released

[Julian Field]

<x-flowed>
I have just released a new unstable/beta release 4.34.4.

The new additions are the options
        Bounce Spam As Attachment
        Bounce MCP As Attachment

The spam bouncing option is for those who have pointy-haired bosses who
insist on bouncing spam, especially when it claimed to come from one of the
business partners or important customers.

The MCP bouncing option might be rather more useful for those using MCP a
lot, as the person who sent the message will get to see exactly which
message of theirs was bounced, as previously they would only have seen the
subject line.

The maximum size of the content taken from the original message is limited
by the "Max SpamAssassin Size" setting. Yes, that sounds a bit random, you
are quite right, but it happened to be at hand at the time :-) If you don't
like it, I can create 2 more max size options as well if you like, but the
value is pretty arbitrary.

It just needs to be a sane limit to prevent a denial of service attack
against the site who sent the spam/mcp message that was bounced. Otherwise
you could use this feature to generate huge messages back to the claimed
sender, which they might well let through as they could be made to appear
to come from an important supplier (or business partner) of theirs.
