This build adjusts the backscatter suppression logic to keep it from being activated by a bounce when a mail loop is detected based on an existing Delivered-To: header.
[ ... ] Consider this to be your invitation to test this build. The better the new backscatter suppression logic is tested, the more unforeseen glitches - like that one - are shaken out, the more successful the forthcoming release will be.
OK. I _finally_ got this version built and installed. The "configure" script took something like 4-5 hours to run! This is on the same system on which I've been building Courier for the past year or so. It used to take maybe an hour or so to do the "configure", but starting around version 0.48, this has slowed down by something like a factor of 3-4. After configuring, it took less than an hour to compile, test, and install the new version.
So anyway, in order to start testing this, I presume that I should get rid of this bofh setting now: "opt BOFHSUPPRESSBACKSCATTER=none". Correct?
Correct.
And yes, beginning with 0.48, the configure script did get somewhat longer.
It's really out of my hands. I don't like myself how bloated autoconf and automake has become. But, that's the devil you know, and there are no better build toolchains out there.
I'm eyeing the possibility of, eventually, releasing pre-built packages, probably via bittorrent. Sourceforge has nothing that I can use for something like this, so I'm going to have to host it myself.
I actually have some home-grown supporting code that makes it very easy to publish stuff via bittorrent, except there are a few missing pieces that I need to figure out.
