MailScanner ANNOUNCE: 4.42.9 released - bug not fixed

[Quentin Campbell]

Julian

Have installed 4.42.9 but the fix you announced for the "Delete" MCP
action is not working. 

Test messages are being caught by MCP and are not delivered according to
the logs but there is no explicit MCP "Delete" action record being
logged.

	Subject: MailScanner ANNOUNCE: 4.42.9 released
	
	
	I have just released the latest stable release of MailScanner.

	The major new features this month are

	- Panda support completely rewritten (thanks to Rick Cooper!).
	- New options to tag Subject: line of HTML mail that has been
disarmed.
	- Can now set the number of "Spam Lists" that are hit before the
message is treated as spam.
	- Now passes the testvirus.org "null MIME-boundary" test.

	You can download as usual from www.mailscanner.info.

	The full Change Log is this:

	* New Features and Improvements *
	- Now automatically detects and warns if the "Incoming Work
Directory"
	  setting contains any links. It also corrects the path (but not
in the
	  MailScanner.conf file) and continues to work properly.
	- Added support for Sophos 3.93.2. You must use the
sophos-autoupdate from
	  this version if you want Sophos to work (both the sophos and
sophossavi
	  scanner settings).
	- Tar and RPM distribution installation scripts now look for
gtar if GNU
	  tar was not found, and is happy if /usr/local/bin/perl and
/usr/bin/perl
	  point to the same place.
	- SophosSAVI errors are detected as if they were viruses, and
are not
	  ignored.
	- Panda support completely reimplemented a lot better by Rick
Cooper.
	- Upgraded File::Temp, Compress::Zlib and ExtUtils-MakeMaker to
latest
	  releases.
	- New options "Disarmed Modify Subject" and "Disarmed Subject
Text" now
	  provide the ability to alter the Subject: line if any HTML
tags in the
	  body of the message were disarmed (by having their "Allow ....
Tags" set
	  to "disarm". This is switched on by default.
	- New option "Spam Lists To Be Spam" now provides the ability to
set how
	  many Spam Lists a message must appear in before it is
considered to be
	  spam. The default is 1 as that mimics the previous behaviour.
	- Improved output of SuSE MailScanner init.d script.
	- Reversed spam and disarm tags to leave spam tag at start of
Subject:.

	* Fixes*
	- Fixed problem that could cause harmless header files to be
left in the
	  temporary working directories when using Postfix.
	- Fixed problem where attachment size checks were made on the
contents of
	  zip files and not just the zip files themselves.
	- Hopefully fixed problem with ClamAV missing Worm.Sober.P
occasionally.
	- No longer import missing whine method from MIME-tools.
	- Fixed problems with incomplete reporting of viruses in zip
files.
	- Fixed problem with "Delete" MCP action not being logged in
syslog.
	- Fixed problem with the "null MIME boundary" vulnerability
test.
	- Added check to upgrade_MailScanner_conf and
upgrade_langages_conf so they
	  check to ensure all input files have content before starting.
	- Fixed bug where clean header was being applied to unscanned
mail when using
	  virus scanning rulesets.
	- Fixed wrong build number for 1 Perl module in install.sh
scripts.
	- Fixed typo in upgrade_MailScanner_conf.
	- Made significant changes to child worker process management
and re-spawning,
	  to try to avoid problems reported by a few users with
MailScanner "slowly
	  stopping working" over the space of several hours.
