Info

* New FAQ material on how to use --interface. bugs -- * Dropped back to separate SockGets/SockWrite code with no attempt at stdio buffering -- we hope this will fix the Solaris peoples’ problems. * Fixed length-computation bug (apparently introduced in 2.3) that messed up IMAP deletes. There are 169 people on the fetchmail-friends list. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------fetchmail-2.5.0 (Mon Dec 23 04:18:54 EST 1996), 7088 lines: features -- * New --interface and --monitor options for Linux courtesy of George Sipe. bugs -- * Replaced bug-prone setvbuf with setlinebuf. * Moved lock file to ~/.fetchmail to eliminate various /tmp problems. There are 165 people on the fetchmail-friends list. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------fetchmail-2.4.0 (Sat Dec 21 05:24:44 EST 1996), 6792 lines: features -- * Add FAQ material on troubleshooting and working around SMTP connection failures. bugs -- * Fixed a core-dump bug in MX processing that’s been lurking there for ghods know how long. It could never have been more than rare. * Fixed a minor bug in Received processing. * Restored compile-time portability to Solaris. * Initial 2.4 said: "Force line-buffering on socket streams (Linux apparently defaults to this). This may fix some hang problems reported under Solaris." Unfortunately this "fix" triggers horrible lossage on long messages and had to be removed. There are 166 people on the fetchmail-friends list. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------fetchmail-2.3.0 (Sat Dec 12 14:31:00 EST 1996), 6789 lines: features -- * Full IMAP4 support -- we now probe for IMAP4 capabilities and use RFC822.PEEK when possible to avoid marking messages seen on the server before they are deleted. This improves recovery from sendmail and
dropped-connection errors. * True stdio buffering of sockets at last, thanks to Cameron McPherson. This should be good for a significant throughput increase. * Almost all error messages that might be emitted in daemon mode now go through the error() subroutine. This is a first step towards allowing a daemon-mode fetchmail to use syslog. * SIGUSR1 is now used for wakeup rather than SIGHUP. This eliminates any possible confusion about fetchmail’s behavior at logout time. * Received line parsing for envelope addresses now matches MX as well as canonical DNS addresses, making multidrop routing slightly more reliable. * Added --fetchlimit option to limit number of messages fetched in a single poll. bugs -- * Fixed a FreeBSD compilation glitch involving SIGCLD (thanks to Masafumi NAKANE). * Added some port patches for NEXTSTEP. * SIGCHLD used everywhere now, not SIGCLD (this was strictly a cosmetic bug). * Prevent occasional hangs when fetchmail was terminated by signal. There are 168 people on the fetchmail-friends list. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------fetchmail-2.2.0 (Mon Dec 9 00:15:01 EST 1996), 6573 lines: features -- * If SMTP returns 571 (unsolicited mail refused) to a MAIL FROM, the address is excluded by the local sendmail’s spam filter. Drop the mail. (This is the only circumstance in which mail is thrown away.) * The header your mailserver uses to convey envelope addresses is no longer wired to ‘X-Envelope-Header’. You can now specify it with the ‘envelope’ option in .fetchmailrc. (This header is not RFC822 standard, and we have a report of an ISP using X-Frontier-To). bugs -- * Fixed a startup-time core dump introduced by 2.1’s aka-list feature. * Fixed a bug in non-implicit mode (poll specified host), also due to aka. * Various minor portability fixes for Suns. Adding #include in fetchmail.c was the most significant one. * Avoid using -lresolv when possible, some Linux versions are badly broken. * Fix error in MX record handling that was causing multidrop problems. * Disable daemon SIGCHLD handler while an MDA is running, to avoid snafus. Thanks to Dave Bodenstab for spotting this obscure bug.
