-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2012-0869 2012-01-24 01:29:31 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : mimedefang Product : Fedora 16 Version : 2.73 Release : 1.fc16 URL : http://www.mimedefang.org/ Summary : E-Mail filtering framework using Sendmail's Milter interface Description : MIMEDefang is an e-mail filter program which works with Sendmail 8.12 and later. It filters all e-mail messages sent via SMTP. MIMEDefang splits multi-part MIME messages into their components and potentially deletes or modifies the various parts. It then reassembles the parts back into an e-mail message and sends it on its way. There are some caveats you should be aware of before using MIMEDefang. MIMEDefang potentially alters e-mail messages. This breaks a "gentleman's agreement" that mail transfer agents do not modify message bodies. This could cause problems, for example, with encrypted or signed messages. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: Upstream changes for MIMEDefang 2.73: * Create /var/spool/MIMEDefang with mode 0750 by default. * Make the -G option cause files created by mimedefang to be group-readable. Add the new MD_ALLOW_GROUP_ACCESS init script variable. * Make the multiplexor snoop in on communications and save the Sendmail queue-ID for logging purposes. It logs the queue ID when logging a slave's STDERR. * Make configure.in check whether or not libmilter requires -lldap. * Fix Graphdefang to handle new md_syslog output style. * Always check return code from chdir() in mimedefang.pl. In certain cases on large and heavily-loaded servers, if the chdir() failed MIMEDefang would end up working in the wrong directory with attendant chaos. * Add "-G" option to mimedefang and mimedefang-multiplexor. This makes their sockets group-readable and group-writable. * Pass along the client port number, server IP address and server port number to all filter functions. This feature was sponsored by Scayl. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Mon Jan 23 2012 Robert Scheck <[email protected]> 2.73-1 - Upgrade to 2.73 (#759805, thanks to Philip Prindeville) * Fri Jan 13 2012 Fedora Release Engineering <[email protected]> - 2.72-4 - Rebuilt for https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_17_Mass_Rebuild * Mon Dec 26 2011 Robert Scheck <[email protected]> 2.72-3 - Removed requirement on sendmail-cf for postfix (#754847) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #754847 - Incorrect dependency for mimedefang on sendmail-cf https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=754847 [ 2 ] Bug #759805 - Mimedefang doesn't create mimedefang.sock with correct permissions https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=759805 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
