dropped-connection errors.<br />
* True stdio buffering of sockets at last, thanks to Cameron McPherson.<br />
This should be good for a significant throughput increase.<br />
* Almost all error messages that might be emitted in daemon mode now go<br />
through the error() subroutine. This is a first step towards allowing<br />
a daemon-mode <strong>fetchmail</strong> to use syslog.<br />
* SIGUSR1 is now used for wakeup rather than SIGHUP. This eliminates any<br />
possible confusion about <strong>fetchmail</strong>’s behavior at logout time.<br />
* Received line parsing for envelope addresses now matches MX as well as<br />
canonical DNS addresses, making multidrop routing slightly more reliable.<br />
* Added --fetchlimit option to limit number of messages fetched in a<br />
single poll.<br />
bugs --<br />
* Fixed a FreeBSD compilation glitch involving SIGCLD (thanks to<br />
Masafumi NAKANE).<br />
* Added some port patches for NEXTSTEP.<br />
* SIGCHLD used everywhere now, not SIGCLD (this was strictly a cosmetic bug).<br />
* Prevent occasional hangs when <strong>fetchmail</strong> was terminated by signal.<br />

features --<br />
* If SMTP returns 571 (unsolicited mail refused) to a MAIL FROM, the<br />
address is excluded by the local sendmail’s spam filter. Drop the mail.<br />
(This is the only circumstance in which mail is thrown away.)<br />
* The header your mailserver uses to convey envelope addresses is no longer<br />
wired to ‘X-Envelope-Header’. You can now specify it with the ‘envelope’<br />
option in .<strong>fetchmail</strong>rc. (This header is not RFC822 standard, and we have a<br />
report of an ISP using X-Frontier-To).<br />
bugs --<br />
* Fixed a startup-time core dump introduced by 2.1’s aka-list feature.<br />
* Fixed a bug in non-implicit mode (poll specified host), also due to aka.<br />
* Various minor portability fixes for Suns. Adding #include <br />
in <strong>fetchmail</strong>.c was the most significant one.<br />
* Avoid using -lresolv when possible, some Linux versions are badly broken.<br />
* Fix error in MX record handling that was causing multidrop problems.<br />
* Disable daemon SIGCHLD handler while an MDA is running, to avoid snafus.<br />
Thanks to Dave Bodenstab for spotting this obscure bug.
