A release candidate 1 of amavisd-new-2.5.1 is available at:

  http://www.ijs.si/software/amavisd/amavisd-new-2.5.1-rc1.tar.gz

The 2.5.1 is primarily intended to be a bug fix release over 2.5.0.


Changes since 2.5.1-pre1:

- new AV entry: ArcaVir for Linux and Unix, see:
    http://www.arcabit.pl/
    http://www.arcabit.com/download_product.html?product=ArcaVirLinux2007
    http://www.arcabit.com/products_arcavir_for_unix_2006.html
  the entry was kindly provided by Michal Seremak;

- a new macro 'supplementary_info' gives access to some additional information
  provided by content scanners, such as a provided by SpamAssassin API
  routine get_tag. The macro takes two arguments, the first is a tag name
  (a name of some attribute which is expected to provide an associated
  value), the second argument is a sprintf format string and is optional,
  if missing a %s is assumed. Currently the only available attributes are
  AUTOLEARN, SC, SCRULE, SCTYPE, and RELAYCOUNTRY. These are nonempty only
  when an associated SpamAssassin plugin or function is enabled.

- avoid repeatedly reporting the same set of modules by a log entry
  'extra modules loaded:', only report it on changes to the list;
  repeated reports could be misinterpreted that modules were loaded
  with each mail task, where actually missing modules were only loaded
  once within each child process;

- avoid reporting 'BOUNCE' in a SMTP response text when a bounce (i.e.
  a nondelivery status notification) was actually suppressed, such as
  is usually the case with infected mail or when spam score exceeds
  spam_dsn_cutoff_level. Previously the SMTP response text only reflected
  the setting of a final_*_destiny, which could mislead mail administrators
  into believing that excessive unconditional backscatter was being
  generated. The new text looks like:
    250 2.5.0 Ok, id=67685-15, DISCARD(bounce.suppressed)
  instead of previous:
    250 2.5.0 Ok, id=67685-15, BOUNCE

- dspam options changed with version 3.8.0, replacing option --feature
  with --tokenizer;  reported by Jim Knuth;

- removed retries on syslog calls, there is no reliable way to
  know whether a call failed; nevertheless, provide some
  statistics on errno values after syslog calls



Feedback and testing is most welcome.

  Mark
