Morning all!

I have just released the latest stable release of MailScanner, 4.69.

There's quite a lot this month, but the main new features this month are:

- - Can now extract embedded files from within Microsoft Office documents 
and subject them to all the file tests like any other attachments.
- - Added new keywords available in Spam Actions, the SpamAssassin Rule 
Actions and Archive Mail locations. You can now specify _DATE_, 
_FROMUSER_, _FROMDOMAIN_, _TOUSER_ and _TODOMAIN_ keywords in any of 
those and they will be replaced with the user and domain halves of the 
relevant addresses of the original message.
- - Using the "store" Spam Action, you can now specify an arbitrary 
directory path after the '-', so 
"store-/var/spool/MailScanner/quarantine/spam/_TOUSER_._TODOMAIN_" will 
store the message in a location determined by the recipient addresses. 
Any of the _DATE_, _FROMUSER_, _FROMDOMAIN_, _TOUSER_ and _TODOMAIN_ 
keywords can be used.
- - Added new command-line options "--id=<queue-id>" and 
"--inqueuedir=<dir-name|glob>" to assist with debugging and testing.


There are many other new features, and some important fixes, which are 
described below in the Change Log.

Download as usual from www.mailscanner.info.

The full Change Log is this:
* New Features and Improvements *
1 Added command-line option "--id=<message-id>" which will force it to scan
  just the message described by <message-id>. Only works when used with
  "--debug".
1 Commented out definition of ORDB-RBL to force a syntax error in setups 
which
  are still mistakenly using it (and not getting any mail as a result!).
1 Added comand-line option "--inqueuedir=<dir-name|glob>" which can take
  a) a directory name, or
  b) a directory name glob (or wildcard), or
  c) a text file listing any combination of (a) and (b) above.
  This specifies where to look for incoming messages. This is very 
useful when
  debugging, as test messages can be put in their own queue directory, 
and the
  main MailScanner running will not touch them, only a MailScanner run with
  this command-line option will see them.
1 Can now extract embedded files from within Microsoft Office documents and
  subject them to all the file tests like any other attachments.
1 To allow for executables embedded in zipped Office documents, default 
value
  for "Maximum Archive Depth" has been increased to 3. Remember that using
  upgrade_MailScanner_conf will *not* over-ride your current settings, 
so you
  will have to change this manually to use the new value.
3 Added new keywords available in Spam Actions, the SpamAssassin Rule 
Actions
  and Archive Mail locations. You can now specify _DATE_, _FROMUSER_,
  _FROMDOMAIN_, _TOUSER_ and _TODOMAIN_ keywords in any of those and they
  will be replaced with the user and domain halves of the relevant addresses
  of the original message.
  If, for example, you specify a "forward" address
  "spam.archive-_TOUSER_-at-_TODOMAIN_ at mydomain.com", then a new recipient
  will be added to the message for *each* of the original recipients. So
  a message with 5 original recipients will have 5 new ones added to it.
3 Added new configuration setting "Missing Mail Archive Is =" which can take
  the values "file" or "directory". This allows you archive to mbox 
files whose
  name is based on the addresses of the original recipients.
4 Using the "store" Spam Action, you can now specify an arbitrary directory
  path after the '-', so
  "store-/var/spool/MailScanner/quarantine/spam/_TOUSER_._TODOMAIN_"
  will store the message in a location determined by the recipient 
addresses.
  Any of the _DATE_, _FROMUSER_, _FROMDOMAIN_, _TOUSER_ and _TODOMAIN_
  keywords can be used.
4 Changed "Monitors for ClamAV Updates" for ClamAV version 0.93.
5 If the image signature <img> tag includes alt="MailScanner Signature" then
  it notices the sig file is present and so doesn't add it again.
  The "alt" attribute is matched by the word "MailScanner" followed by 
anything
  followed by the word "Signature" in any combination of upper- and 
lower-case
  so you can adapt this text quite a lot. See note for "6" below.
6 Added new configuration setting "IP Protocol Version Header" which 
will tell
  you the IP version number used in the last hop to this server. It produces
  either "IPv4" or "IPv6" in the header. To stop the header appearing, just
  set it to be blank. Added at special request by my boss :-)
6 Added new configuration setting "Allow Multiple HTML Signatures". If the
  message has been signed with an HTML signature containing an <img> tag,
  whose "alt" attribute contains "MailScanner" and "Signature" and
  "%org-name%", then it will not be signed again if this option is set 
to "no".
  Once a message (with an image in the signature) has been replied to a few
  times, it starts getting very large and ugly. This option keeps the 
message
  size down and makes it look better. This is set to "no" by default as
  messages look better this way.
7 Debian/Ubuntu have changed the default %org-name% value to "unconfigured-
  debian-site" so I have to check for that as well in the 'Have I Been
  Configured" code at startup :-(

* Fixes *
1 "IPBlock" Custom Function will start up properly without MailScanner.conf
  location on the command-line.
2 Fixed problem with file MIME type checks were being incorrectly applied.
2 Added OLE::Storage_Lite to the list output by "MailScanner -v".
4 Forced "Debug SpamAssassin" to no unless "Debug" is set to yes.
7 Fixed problem with "--debug-sa" and MailScanner freezing using 100% CPU.
8 Fixed problem with modules not reporting properly with "MailScanner -v".
8 Fixed problem where "MailScanner --lint" would sometimes report false 
errors.

That's all folks!
