I have just released a new beta test version of MailScanner, 4.56.5.
Please test it for me if you possibly can.
The main additions over the past 2 months have been:
- - Fine control of reporting for messages breaking size limits
- - Upgraded to Kaspersky 5.5
- - Upgraded to Postfix 2.3
- - Sys::Syslog compatibility problems solved with 1.18
- - More detailed control over "Max SpamAssassin Size" and what happens
when the truncation point is reached half way through an attachment
- - Upgraded to tnef 1.4.3 to solve problems with UTF-encoded filenames.
- - Upgraded to Archive::Zip 1.16 to solve problems building on 64-bit
architectures.
Please download as usual from
www.mailscanner.info
The full Change Log is:
* 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.
