4.50.12 - please test

Mon Jan 23 13:11:18 GMT 2006

On my box it detected ClamAV, McAfee uvscan, and Bitdefender.

But I have clamavmodule installed, and it would be useful to autodetect
and use that in preference to the command line clamav.

Cheers,

Phil

> * New Features and Improvements *
> - - Speed increased significantly!
>    Note you need to run my install.sh script to get the new 
> modules required.
> - - Added DBI and DBD::SQLite Perl modules. Please use my 
> install.sh scripts
>    when you upgrade or install this version.
> - - Added SpamAssassin cache analyser 
> (analyse_SpamAssassin_cache) to the
> - - Added American spelling of "analyze_SpamAssassin_cache" 
> as well as English
>    spelling of "analyse_SpamAssassin_cache".
> - - DBI installation is forced in RPM distributions.
> - - Improved RPM installer to handle DBI module dependencies 
> better. It now
>    installs cleanly on the systems I have tested it on. These 
> include Fedora
>    Core 3, Fedora Core 4, SuSE 9.3, SuSE 10, RedHat Enterprise 4.
> - - Updated man pages.
> - - Made log warnings more obvious when 
> DBI/DBD::SQLite/Digest::MD5 are not
>    all installed properly.
> - - Improved comments about "Allow Filenames" and "Allow Filetypes" in
>    MailScanner.conf.
> - - Improvement to F-Prot output parser to handle new strings.
>    distributions. 99% written by Steve Freegard of MailWatch fame.
> - - Upgraded ClamAV+SA bundle to ClamAV 0.88.
> - - Changed filename/type traps to account for new 
> vulnerability in TNEF files.
> - - Added default headers that Thunderbird 1.5 will use to 
> automatically
>    identify spam based on SpamAssassin's spam headers.
> - - Adapted trend-autoupdate for 2006 onwards.
> - - Added a new command-line parameter "--lint" to verify the 
> config file.
> - - --lint now checks SpamAssassin configuration too.
> - - --check ruleset-checker now written. Takes max 1 from 
> address, multiple to
>    addresses, client IP address and virus name.
> - - --debug now written. Works just like "Debug = yes" in 
> MailScanner.conf.
> - - --help implemented so you can see how to use it now.
> - - Added hi-res timing so the batch speed timings are now 
> displayed to
> micro-
>    second accuracy.
> - - Added Time::HiRes to the list of required modules. You 
> must use ./ install.sh
>    to upgrade to, or install, this version in order to get 
> the new module.
>    Time taken to process the entire batch is logged, and time 
> taken to do
>    "Always Looked Up Last" is logged separately if it is 
> being used at all.
> - - Added check that MailScanner.conf has at least been 
> customised to set the
>    organisation name, long name and web site.
> - - Added "SpamAssassin Cache Timings" configuration option 
> for the few people
>    who need to adjust these settings. Do *not* change it 
> unless you really
>    know what you are doing, the default settings will work nicely.
> - - Updated important perl modules.
> - - Added UU-decoder to automatically extract files from 
> attachments that were
>    stored in uu-encoded form. This behaves similarly to the 
> zip and rar
>    decoders. The virus scanners should check inside these 
> files for themselves
>    anyway, but this assists them when they do not. It also 
> allows for filename
>    and filetype checking of files stored in uu-encoded attachments.
> - - Added configuration option "Find UU-Encoded Files" to set 
> whether uu-encoded
>    files are decoded or not. These files are very rarely used, and the
>    overhead of finding them is fairly large as it involves reading all
>    existing attachments looking for the signature of them. So 
> the default is
>    to not look for them. A ruleset can be used to protect particularly
>    vulnerable recipients or senders.
> - - Removed duplicate logging of warnings about infected messages.
> - - Changed default setting to "Use SpamAssassin = yes" and 
> now auto- detect
>    installation of SpamAssassin, logging installation instructions if
>    it is not already installed and working.
> - - Added detection of no virus scanners being installed, 
> giving the user
>    advice about how to install ClamAV using my 
> easy-installation package.
> - - Improved ClamAV+SA easy-installation package so that it 
> automatically
>    enables the updates by commenting out the "Example" lines.
> - - If "Virus Scanners = auto" (ie. the installed default 
> value) then it
>    searches for and uses every available installed virus scanner.
> - - You can now start up MailScanner without changing 
> MailScanner.conf at all.
>    It will auto-detect SpamAssassin and all available virus scanners.
> 
> * Fixes *
> - - Improved reliability of Bayes rebuilds a lot.
> - - Force installation of DBI as previous versions cause problems.
> - - Should you need to change the default SpamAssassin cache 
> lifetimes and
>    expiry frequency, you can now do it easily at the top of SA.pm.
>    *Very* few people will ever change these values. If more 
> people start
>    changing them, I will add them to MailScanner.conf.
> - - Removed broken patch I was given, which was temporarily in 4.50.
> - - Packaging bug in 4.50.9-1 fixed. MailTools version typo.
> - - Fixed bug where temporary files were not cleaned up properly.
