This message is to announce the release of the University of Washington IMAP toolkit, version 2004a. It includes the c-client library; the ipop2d, ipop3d, and imapd servers; the dmail and tmail message delivery agents; and the mailutil utility program.
imap-2004a is a maintenance release, consisting primarily of critical bugfixes. Programs written for imap-2004 will build with this version without modification.
This version is available on:
ftp://ftp.cac.washington.edu/mail/imap-2004a.tar.Z
MD5 checksum = 34d2c66271302cd2f926094fb5e8705dimap-2004a contains the following enhancements, which are primarily of concern to system administrators:
imapd now has a supported NNTP proxy capability. If the file /etc/imapd.nntp
exists, the contents of that file are used as the host name of an NNTP
server which will be used whenever a #news. name is used. For example, if
/etc/imapd.nntp contains nntp.example.com, and the IMAP client SELECTs or
EXAMINEs the name #news.comp.mail.imap, what will actually be opened in
imapd is {nntp.example.com/nntp}comp.mail.imapThe OSF/1 port (Digital UNIX, Tru64) now uses flocksim instead of flcksafe, since newer versions no longer have the BSD flock() call; and instead have a function which (incorrectly) emulates flock() via fcntl() locking.
The unix[nt] and mmdf drivers now prevent mail_append() from writing Status:, X-Status:, X-UID, X-IMAP[base]:, and X-Keywords: header lines to a traditional UNIX or MMDF format mailbox. If any such lines are in the text supplied to mail_append(), they will be quoted by prefixing with "X-Original-" (e.g. Status: will become X-Original-Status:).
