MailScanner ANNOUNCE: Stable 4.45 released

[Julian Field]

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

I have just released the latest stable version of MailScanner 4.45.

The major new features this month include:

- - Added new configuration options to control whether you want to  
highlight
   phishing fraud links or modify the subject line or both.
   New options are :-
   Highlight Phishing Fraud (= yes        by default)
   Phishing Modify Subject  (= "{Fraud?}" by default)
   Phishing Subject Text    (= no         by default)
- - New "Quarantine Modified Body" setting, default is "no". This will  
cause
   all modified messages to be quarantined, including messages which  
have
   had their HTML disarmed. Also optimised this so it never archives  
twice.
- - Phishing detection now handles URL's containing %xx characters  
pointing to
   web site names with é in them (and characters written like  
that).

Download as usual from www.mailscanner.info.

The full Change Log is here:

* New Features and Improvements *
- - Added MCP patches for SpamAssassin 3.0.4.
- - Added extra output about nodeps switch with install.sh for RPM.
- - Added "no bytes" lines to cancel out "use bytes" as it causes problems
   with multi-lingual subject lines.
- - Improved phishing net so that when you have multiple MailScanner  
servers
   all handling your incoming mail, links caught by the first one  
won't also
   be caught by the following ones. This caused the final message to  
contain
   multiple warnings about the same link. There is now just 1 warning.
- - New "Quarantine Modified Body" setting, default is "no". This will  
cause
   all modified messages to be quarantined, including messages which  
have
   had their HTML disarmed. Also optimised this so it never archives  
twice.
- - Added syslog-ing to BitDefender updater.
- - Improved web bug handler when disarmed by multiple MailScanners.
- - Added new configuration options to control whether you want to  
highlight
   phishing fraud links or modify the subject line or both.
   New options are :-
   Highlight Phishing Fraud (= yes        by default)
   Phishing Modify Subject  (= "{Fraud?}" by default)
   Phishing Subject Text    (= no         by default)
- - Phishing detection now handles URL's containing %xx characters  
pointing to
   web site names with é in them (and characters written like  
that).


* Fixes *
- - Corrected bayes_file_mode in spam.assassin.prefs.conf on advice from
   Matt Kettler.
- - 'MailScanner -v' now prints out the version number of Convert::TNEF.
- - Group memberships problem on BSD fixed. Spam quarantine membership
   should now always be correct on BSD systems.
- - Tweaked ClamAV+SpamAssassin package so it skips the zlib-vcheck  
version
   check, it doesn't appear to be important and holds up newbies,  
which is
   a Bad Thing(TM).
