A final release of amavisd-new-2.5.0 is available at:

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


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;

- rewritten SMTP client code: get rid of the troublesome module Net::SMTP;
  new code now supports pipelining, client-side LMTP, IPv6, Unix sockets,
  more reliable error handling, passes on ORCPT parameter, passes on ENVID
  parameter unmangled, is bare-CR-clean, tidier code (no workarounds for
  rough corners in Net::SMTP), 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.  Addresses from mail header may be needed for
  deciding on inserting disclaimers, signing mail (DKIM), custom hooks
  (like 'vacation'-type applications), and other future applications.
  Get rid of inexact parsing by module Mail::Address, provide own parser;

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

- compatible with SpamAssassin 3.2.0;

- enhancements to amavisd-nanny: shows more detailed states of processes;

- enhancements to amavisd-agent: shows average processing times per message;

- 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;

- custom hooks allow custom code to be called at few strategic places;

- penpals can now also match replies which reference previous outgoing mail
  by its MessageID (taking into account References or In-Reply-To header
  field);

- new key 'originating' in policy banks generalizes a MYNETS policy bank;

- a documentation rewrite for setting up amavisd-new with Postfix
  by Patrick Ben Koetter (one of the two authors of The Book of Postfix).
  Previous documentation has been renamed to README.postfix.old and will be
  removed in the next version; the new documentation is README.postfix.html,
  and its automatically converted plain text version is README.postfix.
  A big thanks to Patrick for his efforts!
