Subject:  [VOICENWS] SW: Weasel version 1.76 released

++ From the VOICE OS/2-eCS News Service   http://www.os2voice.org ++

From: Peter Moylan  <peterDESPAM at DESPAMozebelg.org>

A new version of the Weasel mail server is finally available. You can find 
it at
     http://www.pmoylan.org/pages/os2/Weasel.html

or from Hobbes at
 
http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/cgi-bin/h-search?sh=1&button=Search&key=weasel176.zip&stype=all&sort=type&dir=%2F

Weasel is a shareware mail server supporting SMTP and POP3, with a number 
of extensions including the AUTH command for both POP and SMTP. It may be 
tuned for detailed control over which mail sources/destinations are 
permitted, and what sort of authentication is required.  You can plug in 
your own filters (or use filters that others have contributed) for things 
like spam control.  Blacklists are supported.  An IMAP4 extension is under 
development, and in fact is working except for one serious outstanding bug 
in the fetching of large files.

Registration is optional for single-domain use.  To enable hosting of 
multiple domains, and/or IMAP support, registration is required.

Because several intermediate versions were never released, the list of 
changes is fairly long.

LIST OF CHANGES since version 1.73.

Version 1.76      (15 Mar 2005)
    Allowed for longer names on registration page.
    Fixed: result of 16 from stage 0 filter was
             being ignored.
    Added new POP3 commands CAPA and AUTH.
    Fixed a bug in CRAM-MD5 implementation.

Version 1.75      (8 Feb 2005)
    Internal changes to buffering and logging.
    Rule change: INI file is taken from working directory,
       instead of from program directory.
    Added German language file.
    Now use lower case instead of upper case 'a'..'f' as
       hex digits when representing an MD5 digest.
    This version not released because of a CRAM-MD5 bug.

Version 1.74      (18 May 2005)
    Provision for a fourth service: a "message submission
       agent" service which is like SMTP but which is
       intended for messages initially entering the mail
       system, as distinct from those which are already
       in the system and are being relayed from one
       mail server to another. Very few mail clients
       understand this distinction, so you probably don't
       need to enable this service unless you are sure
       you have a need for it.
    Restored the "Synch" operation that was needed to
       work around a bug in Microsoft clients.
    Private build: this version not publicly released.

Please note the changed e-mail and web addresses.  The domain 
eepjm.newcastle.edu.au no longer exists. My e-mail addresses at 
newcastle.edu.au will probably remain "live" for a while, but then they 
will disappear without warning. The optusnet address still has about 5 
months of life left.
