A second pre-release of amavisd-new-2.5.0 is available at:

  http://www.ijs.si/software/amavisd/amavisd-new-2.5.0-pre2.tar.gz


COMPATIBILITY WITH 2.4.5

The 2.5.0 is upwards compatible with 2.4.* versions.

Nevertheless, default notification and logging templates are
enhanced to take advantage of new macros and new concepts,
so it is prudent to update templates if defaults are overridden,
e.g. $log_templ, $notify_*_admin_templ, ...


NEW FEATURES AT A GLANCE

- new concept: blocking contents category;

- true per-recipient defanging/sanitation of a mail body (previously
  a true per-recipient handling was available for mail header edits,
  but not for mail body modifications);

- added interface code to invoke Anomy Sanitizer or the 'altermime' program
  allows defanging or adding disclaimers by external utilities on a
  per-recipient basis;

- phishing fraud as returned by ClamAV is now treated as spam, no longer
  as a virus;

- extended AM.PDP protocol with an attribute 'policy_bank' which may be used
  in a client's request to require loading additional policy banks;

- add support for 7-Zip archives if external utility 7z is available;

- enhancements to amavisd-nanny: shows more detailed states of processes
  (set:  $nanny_details_level=2;  to enjoy the new feature);

- enhancements to amavisd-agent: shows average processing times per message;
  amavisd daemon and amavisd-agent utility enhanced to provide and to display
  cumulative elapsed time by sections; currently only some of the more
  important sections have been instrumented:
    TimeElapsedReceiving               279 s     0.623 s/msg (InMsgs)
    TimeElapsedDecoding                 21 s     0.046 s/msg (InMsgs)
    TimeElapsedVirusCheck               13 s     0.029 s/msg (InMsgs)
    TimeElapsedSpamCheck              1377 s     3.074 s/msg (InMsgs)
    TimeElapsedSending                  31 s     0.069 s/msg (InMsgs)
    TimeElapsedTotal                  1856 s     4.143 s/msg (InMsgs)


More details in RELEASE_NOTES.

What I would still like to do for the final 2.5.0:
- add ability to AM.PDP (milter) to split the message if needed
  by cancelling the request and forwarding explicitly;
- enhancement to pen pals as suggested by Alexander 'Leo' Bergolth;
- polish up Anomy and altermime interface based on early feedback,
  please test it, feedback is most welcome;
- finish up address rewriting capability (%addr_rewrite_maps_by_ccat);

  Mark
