Name        : mimedefang
Product     : Fedora 15
Version     : 2.73
Release     : 1.fc15
URL         : http://www.mimedefang.org/
Summary     : E-Mail filtering framework using Sendmail's Milter interface
Description :
MIMEDefang is an e-mail filter program which works with Sendmail 8.12
and later. It filters all e-mail messages sent via SMTP. MIMEDefang
splits multi-part MIME messages into their components and potentially
deletes or modifies the various parts. It then reassembles the parts
back into an e-mail message and sends it on its way.

There are some caveats you should be aware of before using MIMEDefang.
MIMEDefang potentially alters e-mail messages. This breaks a "gentleman's
agreement" that mail transfer agents do not modify message bodies. This
could cause problems, for example, with encrypted or signed messages.

Update Information:

Upstream changes for MIMEDefang 2.73:

  * Create /var/spool/MIMEDefang with mode 0750 by default.
  * Make the -G option cause files created by mimedefang to be group-readable.  Add the new MD_ALLOW_GROUP_ACCESS init script variable.
  * Make the multiplexor snoop in on communications and save the Sendmail queue-ID for logging purposes.  It logs the queue ID when logging a slave's STDERR.
  * Make configure.in check whether or not libmilter requires -lldap.
  * Fix Graphdefang to handle new md_syslog output style.
  * Always check return code from chdir() in mimedefang.pl.  In certain cases on large and heavily-loaded servers, if the chdir() failed MIMEDefang would end up working in the wrong directory with attendant chaos.
  * Add "-G" option to mimedefang and mimedefang-multiplexor. This makes their sockets group-readable and group-writable.
  * Pass along the client port number, server IP address and server port number to all filter functions.  This feature was sponsored by Scayl.
