Hi, MIMEDefang 2.45 Beta 1 is at http://www.mimedefang.org/node.php?id=1
There are two major changes: 1) We've added a set of RBL lookup functions that perform RBL lookups in parallel, with a timeout. For example, if you decide to use 7 RBL domains, and are willing to reject mail if the sending host is on 3 or more RBLs, these new functions let you: - Run all 7 lookups in parallel - Return as soon as 3 positive "hits" have been found - Return with results so far after a timeout you specify The new functions require the Net::DNS Perl module. (Net::DNS is not a prerequisite for MIMEDefang, but these new functions will fail and log an error if you try to use them without having installed Net::DNS.) See the mimedefang-filter man page for relay_is_blacklisted_multi 2) The multiplexor keeps a history of "load averages", and there's a new "md-mx-ctrl load" command. It produces output that looks like this: Load: Msgs: Msgs/Sec: Avg Busy Slaves: 10 Sec 21 2.10 9.62 1 Min 140 2.33 7.75 5 Min 684 2.28 7.56 10 Min 1226 2.04 7.62 Each row in the table corrseponds to a time span, as indicated in the first column. The remaining columns are: Msgs: The number of messages scanned in the last time span. Msgs/Sec: Average number of messages/second scanned in the last time span. Avg Busy Slaves: The number of busy slaves, on average, each time a message was scanned. Complete change log follows. Regards, David. 2004-07-23 David F. Skoll <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * Version 2.45-BETA-1 released. * mimedefang-filter.5.in: Clarified description of action_bounce. * mimedefang-multiplexor.c: Added support for keeping "load average" histories so you can see how loaded your system is. * mimedefang-multiplexor.c: Raw 'status' output includes time when multiplexor was first started. * md-mx-ctrl.8.in: Documented new 'load' and 'rawload' commands. * mimedefang.pl.in: Implemented a new set of RBL lookup functions that perform multiple lookups in parallel and allow you to set a timeout (the timeout applies to ALL lookups, not each individual lookup.) These new functions require the Net::DNS module. * md-mx-ctrl.c: Implement 'load' and 'rawload' commands. 2004-07-15 David F.
