Hi,
MIMEDefang 2.45-BETA-2 is at http://www.mimedefang.org/node.php?id=1
The main change is a greatly-improved "watch-mimedefang" script.
This is a Tcl/Tk script for monitoring a MIMEDefang server.
The new version features four graphs showing various aspects of
the server: Number of busy slaves at a given instant, average
number of busy slaves during a SCAN request, average latency
of a SCAN, and average number of messages/second scanned.
A disadvantage of the old script was the need to install Tcl/Tk and
the X client libraries on your mail server. The new version lets
you monitor a remote MIMEDefang installation over an SSH connection;
the traffic flowing over the SSH connection is very small. So you can
run the rather CPU-intensive watch-mimedefang script on your desktop,
and have it monitor your mail server over an SSH connection, without
unduly loading the mail server. It's really cool; give it a try!
Note that you must install MIMEDefang 2.45-BETA-2 on the mail server,
and you must use the watch-mimedefang script from 2.45-BETA-2 for this
to work.
Complete changelog since 2.44 follows.
Regards,
David.

* Version 2.45-BETA-2 released.
* Makefile.in: Do not overwrite /etc/mail/sa-mimedefang.cf in
install-redhat target
* mimedefang-multiplexor.c: Track average latency of scan commands.
* watch-mimedefang.in: Huge rewrite. Displays a lot more info about
the MIMEDefang server. Can monitor a remote MIMEDefang server over
a low-bandwidth SSH connection.
* mimedefang.pl.in: Log helpful messages if clamd fails with an
error (Tomas Kopal)
* md-mx-ctrl.c: Support the "-i" command-line option to read commands
from stdin and send results to stdout. Used to support
watch-mimedefang's low-bandwidth remote monitoring.

* Version 2.45-BETA-1 released.
* mimedefang-filter.5.in: Clarified description of action_bounce.
* mimedefang-multiplexor.c: Added support for keeping "load average"
histories so you can see how loaded your system is.
* mimedefang-multiplexor.c: Raw 'status' output includes time when
multiplexor was first started.
* md-mx-ctrl.8.in: Documented new 'load' and 'rawload' commands.
* mimedefang.pl.in: Implemented a new set of RBL lookup functions
that perform multiple lookups in parallel and allow you to set
a timeout (the timeout applies to ALL lookups, not each individual
lookup.) These new functions require the Net::DNS module.
* md-mx-ctrl.c: Implement 'load' and 'rawload' commands.
