Beta 4.42.4 released

[Julian Field]

I have just released beta version 4.42.4.

The major new features are:

- Fixed testvirus.org test #23 (empty MIME boundary test).
- "Disarmed Modify Subject" and "Disarmed Subject Text" options added
so you can tag the Subject: line if there are any HTML tags in the
message that were disarmed.
- "Spam Lists To Be Spam" threshold added so you can adjust the
number of "Spam Lists" that include the message to cause the message
to be marked as being spam. Previous versions had this parameter
fixed at 1.
- Completely new Panda support.
- "Incoming Work Directory" is checked for the presence of links in
its path.

The full Change Log is here:

26/5/2005 New in Version 4.42.4
===============================
* 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.

* 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.
