-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2013-9301 2013-05-26 16:43:38 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : maildrop Product : Fedora 19 Version : 2.6.0 Release : 2.fc19 URL : http://www.courier-mta.org/maildrop/ Summary : Mail delivery agent with filtering abilities Description : maildrop is the mail filter/mail delivery agent that's used by the Courier Mail Server. This is a standalone build of the maildrop mail filter that can be used with other mail servers. maildrop is a replacement for your local mail delivery agent. maildrop reads a mail message from standard input, then delivers the message to your mailbox. maildrop knows how to deliver mail to mbox-style mailboxes, and maildirs. maildrop optionally reads instructions from a file, which describe how to filter incoming mail. These instructions can direct maildrop to deliver the message to an alternate mailbox, or forward it somewhere else. Unlike procmail, maildrop uses a structured filtering language. maildrop is written in C++, and is significantly larger than procmail. However, it uses resources much more efficiently. Unlike procmail, maildrop will not read a 10 megabyte mail message into memory. Large messages are saved in a temporary file, and are filtered from the temporary file. If the standard input to maildrop is a file, and not a pipe, a temporary file will not be necessary. maildrop checks the mail delivery instruction syntax from the filter file, before attempting to deliver a message. Unlike procmail, if the filter file contains syntax errors, maildrop terminates without delivering the message. The user can fix the typo without causing any mail to be lost. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: Use hardened build. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #965487 - maildrop package should be built with PIE flags https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=965487 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
