New stream flag is introduced: MU_STREAM_INTERDIR. Used together with MU_STREAM_CREAT, it instructs mailutils to create any missing intermediate directories, when creating file. * Creating home directories New configuration statement "homedir" declares the action to take if a user home directory does not exits. E.g.: homedir { # Create user home directory if needed. create true; # File mode for newly created directories. mode 755; } The statement is used by imap4d, lmtpd, mda, and putmail utilities. * Imap4d configuration statements "create-home-dir" and "home-dir-mode" These are declared obsolete. Users are advised to use "homedir" section instead. * Sieve ** Fileinto action: new option :interdir The option informs fileinto that it should create missing intermediate directories when creating a mailbox. * Variable expansions in configuration statements. All statements that allow for variable expansion now support the following shell-compatible constructs: ${variable#word} Remove shortest prefix pattern. ${variable##word} Remove longest prefix pattern. ${variable%word} Remove shortest suffix pattern. ${variable%%word} Remove longest suffix pattern. Additionally, the following constructs are supported: ${variable/pattern/subst} Pattern substitution. Expand all three parts, and replace the longest match of pattern against the expansion of variable with the expansion of subst. ${variable:|word1|word2} Expand to word1 if variable is set and not empty, and to word2 otherwise. * New commands in string expansions All statements that allow for variable expansion can now use the following commands: localuser If argument is an email address with user and detail subparts in its localpart, this function returns the user name. Otherwise, it is equivalent to localpart. detail If argument is an email address with user and detail subparts in its localpart, this function returns the detail part. If no detail part is present, it returns an empty string. * Changes in ldap.field_map configuration statement This statement was originally intended to keep LDAP attribute name associations. Now, apart from attribute names, it's values can store arbitrary strings. These are so called "immediate values". If the value after the equals sign begins with a letter, it is taken as an LDAP attribute name. Otherwise, it is an immediate value. It is expanded as described in subsection 3.2.2 "Configuration Variables" of the documentation, and the resulting value is used as the attribute value. Expansion occurs after all LDAP attribute names have been retrieved. Their values are available as variables named after getpw* column names (i.e. name, passwd, uid, gid, gecos, dir, shell, mailbox, quota). Single and double quotes are handled within field map values. Example: field-map ( "name=uid", "passwd=userPassword", "uid=uidNumber", "gid=gidNumber", "gecos=gecos", "dir=/usr/home/${name}", "shell=loginShell", "mailbox=\"maildir:/var/spool/mail/${name}\"" ); In this field map, "dir" and "mailbox" are immediate values. * Bugfixes ** Sieve: fix coredump on parsing "fileinto :permission" action. ** Sieve: fix optimizer. ** Library: fix parsing ls-compatible permission strings. ** Library: fix mu_sieve_machine_clone function. ** Configuration: use '\' to escape delimiters in some statements. This affects statements whose arguments are colon- or comma-delimited strings, e.g. ldap.field-map. ** Library: fix localized help output Help entries now use the correct translation domain. The bug was originally reported and discussed in https://mail.gnu.org.ua/mailman/listarchive/bug-mailfromd/2018-04/msg00027.html Best regards, Sergey
