The amavisd-new-2.3.3 release is getting near.
Please find a pre-release at:

  http://www.ijs.si/software/amavisd/amavisd-new-2.3.3-pre2.tar.gz

The version 2.3.3 is a maintenance release over 2.3.2.
It fixes known problems and provides some optimizations,
especially in processing of the more degenerate or huge
mail messages. No new features were added.
See RELEASE_NOTES.

The most important security/privacy-related change is a
safety net around calls to SpamAssassin, which in some cases
(like host misconfiguration or resource starvation) may produce
runaway cloned process with unpredictable consequences (like
delivering an extra copy of a mail to an unrelated recipient).
This SA problem will be fixed in SA 3.1, but not likely in 3.0.x,
which warrants amavisd-new upgrade at a first good opportunity
if staying with SA 3.0.4 or earlier, or upgrading SA to 3.1
( preferably both :)

I expect the final release to be by the end of the next
week, perhaps on August 20, 2005. There will be a release
candidate available some time in the middle of the week.

  Mark
