Download: http://www.co
urier-mta.org/download.php

Minor update to courier-authlib:

• Fix pedantic compilation warnings

• Implement SSL-encrypted MySQL connections

Courier 0.55 is a major update to couriermlm.  See below.

Minor changes in Courier 0.55:

• webmail: Fix -N options for return receipts

• webmail: Minor HTML cleanup - remove hardcoded styles,
use single row for 
message buttons on the navigation screen

• Added -batch option to mailq

• Fix error checking in pthreads code

• mailbot: also check for "precedence: list" and
"list-id:" headers

• All configure script updated to the latest autoconf
syntax

• minor internal webmail tweaks

• removed --enable-unicode and
--disable-folder-utf7-encoding configure 
options.  All unicode mapping tables are always included,
from now on.

• Updated documentation to Docbook XML V4.4

============================================================
==============

Major changes in Courier 0.55

• changed logic for _outbound_ authenticated SMTP -- when
Courier sends 
outgoing mail through an authenticating smarthost.  Courier
now uses the 
domain name, and not the server host name, to read the
userid/password from 
esmtpauthclient.

+ couriermlm rewrite

Couriermlm's code has undergone a major overhaul. 
Externally there are no 
major changes (but some action is required after updating,
see below), but 
internally the code has been completely overhauled.
couriermlm's innards are 
some of the oldest code in Courier, going back as far back
as 1999; and not 
exactly a shining example of OOD/OOP.  All the cruft has
been upgraded to 
something that's more maintainable.  The immediate changes
are:

+ Archive list indexes -- the "index" control
message now formats the 
archive index as UTF-8.  Subjects containing non-Latin
characters should now 
be shown correctly.

+ import/export commands now preserve write-only list
aliases.  Subscription 
lists exported from the new version of couriermlm cannot be
imported into 
the earlier versions of couriermlm.

+ The NAME list setting (the sender's name on couriermlm bot
replies) can be 
set on the command line using the native character set text,
and will be 
appropriately RFC 2047-encoded before it gets inserted in
every couriermlm 
bot autoresponse.

+ webmlmd - a new HTML interface to couriermlm.  The initial
release is 
simplistic, and provides a web-based way to subscribing and
unsubscribing 
from the list.

IMPORTANT:

After updating to 0.55 from an earlier version:

All couriermlm list directories must have their
configuration files updated.
See the INSTALL file for more information.

Footnote:

These changes required some adjustments to mail parsing
routines that are 
used by all major Courier components.  No regression was
detected by 'make 
check', but that doesn't mean that something isn't hiding
somewhere.  Known 
change to check for -- if anyone is even doing this -- is
that messages 
submitted via the sendmail command wrapper which contain
non-Latin adderss 
header content will now be encoded "correctly".

Hi, Sam,
I am preparing new FreeBSD port, but it failed to link
webmlmd with undefined 
symbol error.

I added it into webmaild.C, similar to sqwebmail.c, patch
follows. I am not 
sure this is the right thing to do and would like to make it
clear before 
submitting new port into port repository.

Yes, this is correct.  Rather puzzling, why I didn't catch
this on Linux.
