A release candidate for amavisd-new-2.5.0 is available at: http://www.ijs.si/software/amavisd/amavisd-new-2.5.0-rc1.tar.gz
Main changes since 2.5.0-pre4: - rewritten SMTP client code: get rid of the troublesome module Net::SMTP; now supports pipelining, client-side LMTP, IPv6, Unix sockets, more reliable error handling, is bare-CR-clean, tidier code (no workarounds for rough corners in Net::SMTP), same speed or faster (up to 30% speedup in forwarding large mail, fewer context switches / handshake handovers due to pipelining if pipelining is offered by MTA (which usually is) ); - makes available pedantically parsed addresses from a mail header: From, Sender, To, Cc; potentially useful for custom code and other future applications; get rid of sloppy parsing in module Mail::Address; I expect to do a final release of 2.5.0 this Sunday, and would appreciate final testing and last-minute feedback. Especially the new SMTP and LMTP client code (used in forwarding mail) is worth to be thoroughly tested especially the error reporting/handling in unusual circumstances, like failing downstream MTA and similar. Also this client code now uses a socket module IO::Socket::INET6 if available (this module supports both IPv6 and IPv4) instead of a traditional IO::Socket::INET when $forwarding_method (and related methods) specify IPv6 numerical address or a DNS name. Forcing amavisd to use the classical IO::Socket::INET can be done by specifying a numerical IPv4 address (dotted quad), or by deinstalling (or not installing) IO::Socket::INET6. The $forwarding_method (and related methods) may now specify 'lmtp:' as a protocol (when delivering to a lmtp server is needed) instead of a 'smtp:'. Not widely useful, but there was a good opportunity to add this support. Ports/package maintainers, please note that a Perl module Net::SMTP (and Net::Cmd, both part of a libnet / p5-Net) are no longer used.
