Fedora EPEL Update Notification
FEDORA-EPEL-2011-4672
2011-10-09 20:30:51
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : mimedefang
Product : Fedora EPEL 6
Version : 2.72
Release : 2.el6
URL :

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:
* The "make unstripped" target has disappeared. Instead, use: make
INSTALL_STRIP_FLAG=''
* The RPM_INSTALL_ROOT make variable has disappeared. Instead, use the standard
DESTDIR: make install DESTDIR=/some/dir
* In mimedefang.c, truncate overlong responses from the multiplexor. Also sanitize
replies so "\r" doesn't get fed to smfi_setmlreply
* If a slave process replies with a very long reply, have the multiplexor consume (and
discard) the excess input so the multiplexor-to-slave protocol does not become
de-synchronized
* When mimedefang becomes a daemon, have it wait for a "go/no-go" message from
the child before exiting. This should eliminate race conditions whereby the MTA starts
before the milter socket is present
* Avoid run-time errors from Unix::Syslog on some platforms
* Change md_syslog to log the Sendmail Queue-ID if it is available
* Remove references to ParanoidFiler
