Feedback welcome. amavisd-new-2.5.4 release notes BUG FIXES - incorrect parsing of header fields could cause a header field to be ignored when preparing notification templates, or when adding a spam tag to a Subject header field, causing a second Subject header field to be inserted; reported by Mike Cisar; - further simplify (split in two) regular expressions in parse_address_list() to avoid perl crashing on long degenerated e-mail addresses in From, To, and Cc header fields, also reported and sample provided by Tomi Lukkarinen; - simplify regular expressions in parse_quoted_rfc2821() to avoid perl crashing on a long degenerated e-mail address; reported by Sébastien Aveline; - untaint a policy bank name when it comes from an AM.PDP protocol request; symptom was a failure to insert a pen pals SQL record; reported by Peter Huetmannsberger; - smtp client code inappropriately concluded there is no progress being made when forwarding a message back to MTA, and exited a rw_loop when sysread returned status EAGAIN despite a 'select' setting an input-ready flag; the problem seems to be specific to Solaris; thanks to Aleksandr for a detailed problem report; - limit the number of filenames given as arguments to a file(1) utility to stay within a safe program argument space limit, run file(1) multiple times if necessary; - change the sprintf format for conversion of 64-bit SNMP-like counter values into a string (replaced %020d by %020.0f) to properly convert large values (beyond 32 bits) into strings on versions of Perl which are not compiled with support for 64-bit integers (Solaris?); reported by David Schweikert; OTHER - invoke unrar and rar without option 'av-', which is no longer valid since version of unrar 3.7.5, and was previously just ignored; the rar documentation states that option 'av' is only available with registered versions, so it appears the 'av-' is redundant with rar as well. Unrar aborting with 'unknown option' error was reported by Piotr Meyer; - a new AV entry for fpscan 6.x, (F-PROT Antivirus for UNIX command-line scanner) based on information from Erik Slooff, Bruno Friedmann, and Steve); - a new AV entry for fpscand 6.x (F-PROT Antivirus for Linux/BSD/Solaris), based on initial research by Alexander Wirt, Henrik K, and F-Prot documentation, thanks also to Haukur Valgeirsson of F-Prot International; - ask_daemon_internal now keeps persistent connection to an F-PROT fpscand daemon, in addition to Sophie and Trophie daemons; - new AV entry 'bdscan' for a new version of BitDefender Antivirus Scanner for Linux and FreeBSD; thanks to Gary V; Mark ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
