popclient-3.0 (Fri Jun 28 11:33:34 EDT 1996):<br />

Eric S. Raymond hacked extensively on 3.0b6 and took over<br />

the package with the consent of Carl Harris, the original implementor.<br />

Some of the 3.0 feature additions were inspired by Sean Oh’s fetchpop 1.8<br />

code, and a few use code directly lifted from fetchpop. Here are my (Eric’s)<br />

change notes:<br />

CONFIGURATION AND BUILDING<br />

* The autoconfigure script incorrectly assumed that all Linuxes use<br />

/usr/bin/deliver. Under Linux it now checks for both /usr/bin/delivermail<br />

and /bin/mail.<br />

* I added a distribution-maker production to Makefile.in.<br />

OPTIONS AND COMMAND LINE<br />

* I have removed the -p command-line option. Given that there’s a run control<br />

facility there is no excuse for encouraging users to put plaintext passwords<br />

in scripts which might be readable.<br />

* Calling popclient with no arguments now causes it to query or operate<br />

on every host in the run control file.<br />

* I have made --version more useful by having it dump the computed<br />

connection options for each server specified.<br />

* The user can now explicitly set an MDA (such as procmail) with the<br />

new option -m or -mda. Various possible MDAs are listed on the man page.<br />

POPRC FILE SYNTAX<br />

* The run control file lexer now supports "-enclosed strings which may<br />

contain whitespace.<br />

* I added a --yydebug option to enable run control parser debugging at<br />

runtime if the parser was generated with --debug. It’s not documented.
