Hi folks!

A new stable release for you. New things this time include:

- -- control of reports sent to senders of "too large" messages,
- -- Postfix 2.3 support,
- -- fine control of maximum size of message section sent to SpamAssassin,
- -- significant improvement to reliability of tnef extraction utility,
- -- new location for web bug replacement to alleviate server load.

Available from www.mailscanner.info

The full Change Log is this:

* New Features and Improvements *
1 Added a complete new set of configuration settings to report on
  messages and attachments that are outside the size limits set in
  MailScanner.conf. These are:
  Sender Size Report
  Stored Size Message Report
  Deleted Size Message Report
  Size Modify Subject
  Size Subject Text
  These are used in exactly the same way as the other sets of options
  that tag and modify the message for other reasons.
3 Improved report of "message too large" case.
3 Updated Catalan language files courtesy of Jordi Sanfeliu.
3 Increased default max SpamAssassin message size to catch more single-image
  spam messages.
3 Solved compatibility with Postfix 2.3.
3 Upgraded Sys::Syslog to 0.18 which fixes all the compatibility problems of
  0.17 and 0.16.
3 Upgraded Kaspersky support to 5.5.
4 Added new features to "Max SpamAssassin Size" setting:
  <number> --- behave as before
  <number n> trackback --- get n bytes then backtrack looking for the start
                           of the attachment we are in the middle of.
  <number n> continue <number m> --- get n bytes then continue up to a 
maximum
                                     of m extra bytes looking for the end of
                                     the attachment we are in the middle of.
5 Upgraded to tnef version 1.4.3.
5 Upgraded Archive::Zip to 1.16. Builds properly on x64 architectures.

* Fixes *
1 When 'Outgoing Queue Dir' was changed from the default, kicking sendmail
  into attempting delivery of a new processed message in the outgoing queue
  would just wait for the next regular run of the queue. Now fixed so that
  a delivery attempt is made immediately. This fix only affects users who
  have changed the "Outgoing Queue Dir" setting and who are also using
  sendmail as their MTA.
2 Missed 2 "defined" checks on variables before using them.
  Thanks to Andy Kirkpatrick for spotting that one.
2 Fixed version number check.
3 Fixed output bug in less strict phishing net. Does anyone use this?
3 Fixed bug in Sendmail KickMessage() function. Thanks to Martin Billy.
4 Removed Postfix 2.3 extra, and reverted to simple regexp as Holger's 
version
  is buggy (mismatched ')').
5 Changed number of viruses found reported to be max of each AV 
package's value.
6 Rewrote logic of addenvto so it should now work correctly when the setting
  is blank.
6 Put in new version of Postfix 2.3 regexp.

And please buy the book if you haven't already! :-)
