Added CIDR option to host lists
(banned, whitelisted, etc.)
Added an "edit" button to all host list pages.
Preliminary version of SPF check included. For now
this does not reject mail, it only puts a
result in the Authentication-Results message header. |

Readme/What's new |
LIST OF CHANGES
Version 1.813 (12 Dec 2012)
Fixed: a semaphore leak where some event
semaphores were not being properly closed.
Some alterations to exceptq support.
Removed some debugging code and debug log messages.
Default value of "when to go online" changed to
"always". This will not affect anyone who has
already set a value for that option.
Added option to change the limit on number of
recipients per outbound mail item.
Released only to Weasel mailing list.
Version 1.811 (16 Sep 2012)
Fixed: poor choice of default root directory on a
new installation.
Added debugging code to check for semaphore errors.
The logging of amount of heap memory used is now
suppressed unless "More detailed logging" is
specified in Setup.
This version not released, but the changes were
incorporated in later releases.
Version 1.81 (8 Sep 2012)
Fixed: Weasel was not unhiding the files in the
'forward' directory on startup.
LoadINI and DumpINI are no longer included in the Weasel
distribution. You have to download GenINI separately.
(Luckily, GenINI does not often get updated.)
The "fetch last" POP option is now obsolete. POP clients
now see all of the messages on the server, rather
than the first or last 512 messages.
Fixed: an uninitialised pointer that was causing a
crash on some POP fetches.
Added log message that identifies the domain that an
SMTP outbound thread is trying to reach.
Fixed a stack overflow on USER command.
Some extra log messages for SMTP outbound.
Removed the obsolete "POP fetch starts with most recent"
checkbox from the Setup program.
New policy: 5-second delay added before closing the
connection from a blacklisted client.
Setup now accepts new command-line parameters. See
the manual for details.
Policy change to accommodate servers that do
greylisting: when sending out mail, we don't try
the relay backup host until the fifth retry.
Removed some obsolete code, cleaned up the POP data
structures.
Change to the interval between retries.
For SMTP outbound mail, authentication is not used
unless there is a relay host. The Setup notebook
and manual have been updated to make this clearer.
Fixed: when a backup relay is configured, the relay
was not always used, so some items remained
undeliverable.
Added: extra log line to show whether SMTP authentication
for outgoing mail was successful.
Removed code for the obsolete "POPFetchLatest"
option, an option that allowed fetching mail in
a nonstandard order.
Some minor changes to logging.
Fixed: crash on USER command when TNI file used.
Fixed: the next message number was not being updated
in INI or TNI file.
Fixed: in TNI mode, a zero-length WEASEL.INI was
being created if it didn't already exist.
Startup operations more carefully sequenced to take
into account task interdependencies.
Fixed: crash if INI or TNI file was missing.
New approach to dynamic control of the number of
Send_NN tasks.
Fixed: the wrong number of Send_NN tasks were
being started.
Change: you can now change the number of these tasks
(in Setup) without having to restart Weasel.
Build level information added to weasel.exe. (So
you can now find out its version number by
running "bldlevel weasel.exe".)
Fixed: the transaction log was not being cleanly closed on exit.
Policy change: transaction log now updated every minute
instead of once every 15 minutes.
Fixed: error when trying to write a number in too
small a field size.
Fixed: crash caused by missing CRLF in input line
or input line that is longer than the standards allow.
Fixed: we accept neither mail nor logins for an
account that has been marked inactive.
New protection against dictionary attack: when there
are too many password errors, the client IP
address is blocked for 10 seconds.
Misc changes to reduce stack usage.
The "status" thread that was putting three counts to
the log has been removed. It was created to track
down a memory leak, but it never managed to
find one.
New script "ban.cmd" added to tools directory on web site.
(But not to zip file.)
Converted many "value" string parameters to "var".
Corrected a spelling error in looking up "OurHostName"
in the INI or TNI file.
Fixed: incorrect handling of option to forward mail
for a local user to another address.
Minor update to kernel stack shifting code.
Fixed: Setup was crashing if SETUP.INI did not exist.
Updated Spanish language file.
Fixed small memory leak in TNI handling.
Added log message to show how much memory has been
allocated for TNI data (but only if extra logging
is specified and we are in TNI mode).
Added a "-i" parameter to explicitly turn off
TNI mode.
Fixed: Setup crash in TNI mode if MailRoot changed.
Added file WEASEL.FMT, for more readable layout of
TNI files if DumpINI is used.
Added check for accessibility of DOMAIN.INI
when clearing a recipient list.
Fixed: after dropping a new font on a Setup
notebook, the notebook sometimes reverted to
the old font on exit.
For consistency, Setup now saves its own options in
Setup.TNI if running in TNI mode. Note that this
implies that you can have two independent sets
of fonts and window positions depending on whether
you start Setup in INI or TNI mode.
Added logging of heap usage, as a check for
memory leaks.
Removed OldDumpINI and OldLoadINI from the distribution.
These programs are now officially obsolete.
Added exceptq handling.
Fixed: Two semaphore leaks.
Version 1.80 (26 Oct 2009)
The 'X' parameter is no longer supported. (Use the
equivalent Setup option instead.)
Fixed: some INI data was being read from WEASEL.INI
even when the 'T' option was specified.
Top line of screen now shows whether INI or TNI used.
Fixed a memory leak that occurred when POP fetch
was picking up most recent 512 messages.
New command-line option 'F' to set working
directory to be equal to program directory.
Removed obsolete debugging code that was
causing APOP to crash sometimes.
Version 1.79 (13 Jul 2009)
Fixed: screen "offline" message was not updated
correctly when we were not logging to screen.
The namelist passed to a filter now includes a
line terminator (carriage return and line feed)
at the end of the last name.
POP3 processing modified to use less memory.
Weasel now supports TNI mode.
Setup now supports TNI mode. The support for remote
setup with a TNI file is also in place, but will
not become effective until a new version of
INIRemote is released. (Remote setup still
works for INI files, just not for TNI files.)
Minor policy change for convenience: when you switch
to or from multidomain mode, the Setup notebook
automatically turns to the page that
would let you reverse that change, if desired.
Old versions of DumpINI and LoadINI included in the
tools directory as OldDumpINI.exe and OldLoadINI.exe.
The new versions are packaged as a GenINI zip file.
New versions of LoadINI and DumpINI use a new
format for the TNI file; in fact they are
identical to the LoadINI and DumpINI that are
now distributed in the GenINI release.
Rexx files mloadini.cmd and mdumpini.cmd added to the
tools directory, to provide conversion of the
DOMAIN.INI (DOMAIN.TNI) files as well as
conversion of WEASEL.INI (WEASEL.TNI).
Extra log information for incoming SMTP.
Reduced the amount of memory used for storing domain information.
Fixed a memory leak in the module tracking domain info.
Added log messages to check for related leaks.
Fixed: in TNI mode, the file DOMAIN.TNI was not
being created when a new domain was created.
Cleaner transition to and from multidomain mode, to
minimise potential confusion about the domain
files and directories.
Inactive users now marked with a '*' in Setup user page.
Policy change: when looking up all alternative names
belonging to a domain, we don't (except in the
single-domain case) do reverse DNS lookup on
numeric addresses.
Policy announcement: the command-line argument 'X'
will soon be phased out.
Fixed a potential memory corruption during failed
POP login attempt.
Extra option on "Local" page for strict domain name
checking, in the multidomain case only.
Added an option to fetch the last 512
messages on a POP fetch, instead of the first 512.
Minor efficiency improvement in blacklist checking.
The deprecated POP2 command LAST is no longer supported.
Design changes to reduce the number of writes to the
INI file.
Extra checks for corruption of (UName,VName,NextName)
entries in the INI file.
LoadINI and DumpINI replaced by the current GenINI release.
Fixed: crash on mail to nonexistent user.
Now passes the session ID to filters via
the namefile file name.
Fixed: Setup was sometimes losing the name of the
stage 4 filter.
Syslog option may now log to another machine.
Fixed: documentation error related to filter namefile.
Added a colon after "Weasel" in syslog messages.
Version 1.78 (11 Sep 2008)
Setup now remembers the last page that was open.
Fixed: crash when all logging was turned off.
Fixed: "out of memory" problem on POP3 login when
user has too many messages on server.
Fixed: response to SMTP EHLO was advertising
AUTH methods that were disabled.
Fixed: memory leak when delivering local mail.
Slowed down dictionary attacks that use AUTH commands.
Minor changes to the way the top two lines of the
screen are written.
Fixed: username missing from POP log when user
logged in with AUTH command.
Minor change to default replies used when a filter
rejects mail.
Restrictions on which users may use SMTP AUTH
(as specified in the user page in Setup)
Alterations to "too many bad passwords" POP3 check:
- can specify the number of tries before disconnecting;
- 3-second delay comes after, not before error reply;
- can disable this test completely, if desired.
Added the Spanish language file.
Minor change to user Setup dialogue.
To fix an "out of memory" problem, limited the number
of messages visible to a POP client to 512.
Version 1.77 (15 Jul 2007)
Fixed: failure to update user count when a client
is banned or blacklisted.
Fixed the "100% CPU" problem when a client
connects but sends no command.
"Extra logging" checkbox in Setup replaces X parameter.
Improved protection against denial-of-service attack.
Fixed: problem with authenticating outgoing mail.
Fixed: logging via a pipe was failing.
Now allowing for up to 8 blacklist servers.
Added comment in the manual to point out that the
Rexx variable RC can be checked to see whether
Weasel shut down normally or crashed.
Minor change to INIData.Close.
Updated transaction logging to improve the case of
multiple threads writing to disk.
Fixed: memory corruption in INI file operations.
Version 1.76 (15 Mar 2006)
Allowed for longer names on registration page.
Fixed: result of 16 from stage 0 filter was
being ignored.
Added new POP3 commands CAPA and AUTH.
Fixed a bug in CRAM-MD5 implementation.
Version 1.75 (8 Feb 2006)
Internal changes to buffering and logging.
Rule change: INI file is taken from working directory,
instead of from program directory.
Added German language file.
This version not released because of a CRAM-MD5 bug.
Version 1.74 (18 May 2005)
Provision for a fourth service: a "message submission
agent" service which is like SMTP but which is
intended for messages initially entering the mail
system, as distinct from those which are already
in the system and are being relayed from one
mail server to another. Very few mail clients
understand this distinction, so you probably don't
need to enable this service unless you are sure
you have a need for it.
Restored the "Synch" operation that was needed to
work around a bug in Microsoft clients.
Version 1.73 (4 April 2005)
Internal changes to MD5 encryption, in preparation
for future implementation of TSL.
Minor internal changes to simplify the future
integration of IMAP.
Setup notebook changes to include IMAP settings.
Version 1.72 (7 February 2005)
Internal changes to transaction logging.
Remove spaces after '<' in a RCPT address.
Fixed bug: crash if port > 32767 in remote Setup.
Increased heap limit to 16MB.
Version 1.71 (3 September 2004)
Implemented the obsolete (and deprecated) POP2
command LAST, for the benefit of users such as
Yahoo who are still using obsolete POP clients.
Filenames for incoming mail now chosen in a way that
forces the sort order to be the same as the
order of arrival, even when Weasel is not shut
down properly.
LoadINI and DumpINI now load/dump all domains in
the multidomain case, rather than requiring each
domain to be handled manually.
Changed transaction logging module to use less memory.
Allow changes to the relay option for outgoing mail
(including relay host name and authentication data)
to be made without restarting the server.
Changes to message list construction on POP3 login
to eliminate a faulty memory reference and to
improve efficiency.
Added option to use a fixed hostname to report as our
own hostname.
Fixed: occasional crash on UID calculation.
Fixed: Setup problem in multidomain mode, where the
default domain name kept being re-created.
Option to change the length of time we continue to
attempt to send outgoing mail.
Setup notebook changed to new style.
Allow user%domain as another acceptable POP login
username.
Version 1.70 (21 May 2004)
Support for different languages in Setup. This version
is distributed with English, French, and Dutch
language files, but it is easy to add more.
Setup notebooks now remember fonts dropped on them.
Added new user options: inactive account, forward mail
with or without local copy.
Policy change: if a filter returns a "reject this mail"
decision, we send the reply to the client, and then
send a "421 closing connection" reply, and then we
forcibly cut off the client. This is to protect us
against the increasingly aggressive approach of
junk mail software.
Policy change: rDNS lookup on numeric IP addresses is not
done unless and until necessary.
Policy change: the loopback address [127.0.0.1] is now
automatically a "Trusted" address that is allowed to
send relay mail.
More flexible rules for the syntax of an IP address range.
Added some delays to discourage dictionary searches:
- 2 seconds after POP password error (note that there
is already a limit of 3 attempts to log in)
- 10 seconds before SMTP "unknown user" reply
- 10 seconds after an SMTP RSET command
Indented continuation lines in screen log.
Added initial server response to log.
Extra "End of session" log message to make log analysis
easier.
Added "pipe" to transaction logging options.
"Override filter" option now works even when there are
multiple recipients, possibly with different filters
for each recipient.
Fixed: adjust Return-Path header after calling a filter.
Fixed Setup bug: option to log SMTP users was not
being remembered.
Permit a delivery attempt via backup server if original
server gives 550 or 553 response to RCPT command.
Fixed: failure to try backup relay if the initial attempt
failed on the MAIL FROM command.
Added an option to relay everything, for the case where this
server has no local users and is simply acting as a
front end for another mail server.
Now can change all logging options without restarting Weasel.
Made the log file names configurable.
Added a new reply code 16 for filters, meaning "accept this
message and skip future filtering steps".
Setup changed to fix a "lost users" bug that appeared when
remote setup was used in multidomain mode. Also minor
other changes to Setup. |

Added a new reply code 16 for filters, meaning "accept this
message and skip future filtering steps".
Setup changed to fix a "lost users" bug that appeared when
remote setup was used in multidomain mode. Also minor
other changes to Setup.
Version 1.68 (8 Oct 2003)
New limitation: POP3 users will see only the first 1024 messages
in their mailbox. (But they will see the next 1024 after
the first group has been fetched and deleted.) This change
has been made necessary as the result of the current campaign
by junk mailers to crash servers that support anti-junk
measures.
More permissive rules about which Setup options can be changed
without restarting the server. See WEASEL.INF for the details.
Fixed: handling of the "no valid users" case when mail is
relayed.
Fixed: damaged header line in the case where the Return-Path
header is more than one line long.
Fixed: undesirable looping behaviour when a secondary relay
keeps re-attempting to send mail that has already been
rejected by the primary server.
Scavenge utility removed from the distribution.
Added the filter names and "serialise filters" option to the
list of things that can be changed without restarting.
Corrected misleading "no relay path to destination" that is
sometimes given when a different message would be
more appropriate.
Version 1.67
Fixed Setup bug (couldn't turn off SMTP authentication).
On POP fetch, add an extra CRLF for mail that violates the
SMTP standard by ending lines with LF rather than CRLF.
(Only old Unix software does this, as far as I know, but
apparently there are still people who use old Unix
software. In addition, we have to allow for spammers
and Microsoft, both of whom tend to introduce new
standards violations without prior warning.)
Expanded the set of Setup parameters alterable without
having to restart the server.
More careful definition, in WEASEL.INF, of which Setup
options take effect immediately, and which ones require
the server to be restarted.
Rule change: unregistered users may use multidomain mode,
but only the first domain will be supported. (The
ultimate aim is to migrate everyone to multidomain mode.)
Updated VIOSetup to support some (but not yet all) of the
new configuration options supported by Setup.
Version 1.66
Major change to filtering system. Filters may now be
called at up to five different times during an incoming
SMTP session. If there is only one local recipient,
there is also an option to replace the default final
filter by a user-specific filter, or to skip the
filtering for some users. As a side-effect, the
order of parameters passed to the filter has changed,
therefore existing filters need to be modified.
Fixed a bug that would cause Weasel to fail if SMTP was
disabled. Since this bug has been present for many
versions, and has never been reported, this tends to
suggest that nobody ever uses Weasel in conjunction
with another SMTP server.
Added a message to the log file to say "Delivered" or
"Failed to deliver" for an SMTP outgoing mail item,
to make it easier for log analysis tools to distinguish
between success and failure.
Made the responses to spammers a bit more consistent with
RFC2821. (With some reluctance. I still think that
RFC2821 makes too many concessions to tolerating spammers.)
Moved endmail.exe and scavenge.exe to the tools
subdirectory, on the grounds that most people won't
need them.
Fixed: crash on invalid AUTH command.
Added an error message for the "No command supplied" case.
(An empty SMTP command should never occur, but the
spamming software is getting sloppier in terms of
ignoring the standards.)
Changed the upper limit on number of threads for outbound
mail to 64.
Changed the default for "log outgoing mail" to FALSE.
Fixed: (rare) SETUP crash when working on aliases.
Changes in internal library implementations.
Fixed an error in CRAM-MD5 authentication.
Increased the stack size per thread to 64 KiB.
Version 1.65
This (buggy) version withdrawn immediately after release.
Version 1.64
Fixed error in verifying a POP login.
You can now specify how many threads will handle
outbound mail (range 1..99).
Added option of a log file (SMTPOUT.LOG) for outgoing mail.
Updated LoadINI and DumpINI to handle options that have
been added in recent changes.
Fixed: recipient list passed to a filter could contain
remote addresses resulting from an alias expansion.
Clear all 'LOCK.!!!' files at startup. (Previously this was
being done only for the single-domain case.)
Version 1.63
Don't automatically create a 'postmaster' account if there
is an alias, possibly wild, that will handle 'postmaster' mail.
Fixed: crash when loading complicated set of aliases, a
crash that appears to be caused by an OS/2 Prf API bug.
Increased the "listen" queue length to 5.
Removed the "routing loop?" from the "no relay path to
destination" error message, because there are too many
cases where this is a temporary loss of connection
rather than a routing loop.
For outgoing mail, increased the timeout on the initial
connection attempt from 75 to 150 seconds. This is to
accommodate the deteriorating network performance now that
so many ISPs are replacing their fast Unix mail servers by
slow Windows servers.
Version 1.62
Identifies EXPN as a supported ESMTP command, even though
we will respond only with "that information is confidential".
Avoid creating a redundant postmaster directory in
multidomain mode.
Implemented AUTH command for both incoming and outgoing SMTP,
with methods PLAIN, LOGIN, CRAM-MD5.
Removed the "accept mail for unknown users" option, and added
conversion code in Setup and VIOSetup to add a wildcard alias
if that option had been set.
Added a 'Demote' option to the Alias page in Setup.
For outgoing mail that has to be retried, we now wait until
after several attempts before sending the sender a
"delivery has been delayed" notification. (The previous
strategy was to send that notification after the second
attempt, which was probably too soon.)
Version 1.61
New interpretation of alias expansion: if there is no '@'
in an address, we assume the current domain.
Fixed: some "delivery failure" messages were using
[127.0.0.1] as the name of the sending host.
Avoid sending a bounce message to the address <>.
Clearer indication that registration code has been accepted.
Version 1.60
General tidying up to permit a non-beta release.
First official release of the multidomain feature.
Version 1.59
Permit wildcards in alias names.
Added test for NIL descriptor in TaskControl.SuspendMe,
and increased heap limit to 8MB.
Made the software again runnable on older 16-bit versions
of the tcp/ip stack, as well as on the newer versions.
Version 1.58
Fixed a bug in alias expansion that was causing
redundant files to be created in the MailRoot directory.
In single-domain case only, switched back to something
similar to the older method for identifying a POP user.
On incoming mail, long lines wrapped if they go over
1000 characters. (This is helpful for e-mail clients
that get confused by junk mail that violates the
SMTP standard.)
More care that our hostname matches the IP address in
things like HELO parameter, timestamps, etc.
Version 1.57
Added option to say whether password should be used to
work out which POP3 user is logging in, in the case
where the same username occurs in more than one domain.
Added a check for duplicates in "Add all local IP addresses".
Changed the "unknown user" error code from 553 to 550.
Added test for unknown local user during alias expansion.
Removed the "via" message from the log in the case of an
unsuccessful delivery attempt.
Documentation of multidomain mode added.
Timed demo now enabled until the end of January 2003.
Version 1.56
Fixed error: mail could be duplicated if a message was
received just as we were going on-line.
Added a "too many hops" check on incoming mail.
Allow optional parameters for DumpINI and LoadINI.
Fixed initialisation failure when a hostlist contained
a numeric range of IP addresses.
Fixed error: data being lost when users moved to a
different domain.
Better handling of the case where a filter changes or
deletes the "Return-Path" header line.
This version released as a beta, not as a public release.
Version 1.55
Fixed an error in alias expansion.
Includes time-limited demo of multidomain mode, untested.
This version released as a beta, not as a public release.
Version 1.54
Added option to auto-detect dial-up connection.
Major internal changes in hostlist handling in preparation for
the switch to multidomain support.
Added an error check to the "create thread" operation.
This version released as a beta, not as a public release.
Version 1.53
Removed detailed counts for outgoing mail.
Yet another change to shutdown handling.
Version 1.52
Slight change to shutdown handling. Also added a
FINISHED event semaphore, to confirm shutdown complete.
Version 1.51
Don't reset the RECEIVED semaphore before posting, for
better Major Major response.
Slight change to shutdown thread, to avoid need for
typing Ctrl/C twice.
Version 1.50
Added a global semaphore to force shutdown.
The namelist for a filter no longer reveals the
expansion of aliases.
Made the initial 'checking' messages more visible.
Modified the 'for' part of the 'Received:' header line,
to be an accurate copy of the RCPT TO: address.
Fixed bug where mail queued before we went online was
sent twice.
Version 1.40
Altered the queue throttling algorithm for outgoing
mail.
Increased limit on POP username size to 255.
Allow filters to return a message to be sent to the
client in the case of rejection by filter.
Refined test for when an outgoing mail is not worth
retrying.
Corrections to the way the number of jobs in progress
is calculated.
In POP command DELE, added check for deleting a message
that has already been deleted.
Changes to make it harder for an attacker to guess
passwords, e.g. we don't reject a POP login attempt
when an incorrect username is received, we wait
until after the password is supplied.
Fixed a memory leak in MD5 calculation (affects UIDL).
Corrected bug introduced in version 1.30 related to huge
file support. This version should again work with
pre-FP15 versions of Warp.
Domain included in local addresses passed to a filter.
(This corrects a regression made in version 1.30)
Setup: added count of users.
Version 1.30
Increased number of worker threads that send mail to 16.
Radical change to the way the outgoing mail is sorted.
This should improve mailing list performance.
Optional serialisation of filter operations, to compensate
for Rexx scripts that can't handle more than one thread
at a time.
For relay host, use direct lookup rather than MX lookup.
Extra guard against memory overflow in high-traffic
conditions.
Mail no longer sent through backup relay for recipients
where the original server has rejected this user.
New way of specifying blacklist sites, as a result of the
way those sites have changed.
In Setup and VIOSetup, added check for a user name that
duplicates an alias, or vice versa.
VIOSetup now supports most things that Setup does.
Fixed bug: misleading error message if no valid recipients.
Fixed memory leak in UIDL command.
Version 1.20
Speed improvement for POP3 fetch of big message.
New rule: dot-stuffed lines remain dot-stuffed as long
as they are in the Weasel mail directories (including
the 'forward' directory). Previous versions removed
the extra dot, then reinserted it when a POP user
did a fetch. This will require a change to any
software that deposits mail directly into the
Weasel directories. This change implies that anyone
who upgrades to the new version of Weasel should
also upgrade to the new versions of
- popget
- qmail
- Major Major
- EchoNews
if they're using those packages.
Added a check for faulty nameserver response.
Fixed error in Setup: blacklist options weren't always
being stored correctly.
Fixed obscure error in handling a range of IP addresses.
Fixed error in the Setup 'Promote' option.
New way of identifying a thread, to get around possible
bug in run-time system.
Version 1.10
Added more anti-spam options in the "Options" setup page.
Option of extra detail in transaction log.
Replaced all RndFile operations by API calls.
Error reply returned for "Mailbox already locked" for
better conformance with POP3 standard. This reverses
a change made in version 0.4.
Check for case of retry scheduled for negative time in
future.
Version 1.00
Fixed: was not working properly if started from inetd.
More detailed logging of outbound mail.
New 'techdata' manual added to the distribution.
Format of TNI file changed significantly.
Better buffering of socket I/O.
New rule for POP-before-SMTP authentication: once it has
obtained this authorisation, an SMTP client keeps
it for multiple operations, as long as the
authorisation time doesn't expire between operations.
Changed computation of a message UID so that it also
depends on file date and time.
Permit old-fashioned path specification in the
SMTP commands MAIL and RCPT.
Fixed: crash when POP user supplied an empty username.
Version 0.99
Removed reliance on tcp_h_errno(), which appears to
be giving faulty results.
Removed a case sensitivity in user names in PMSetup.
Renamed PMSetup.exe to Setup.exe.
Version 0.98
Renamed Setup.exe to VIOsetup.exe.
Include domain name for local users in recipient file
used by filters.
Direct delivery of local mail even if "use relay host
always" option is in force.
External program can now force check of "forward"
directory by posting an event flag. (Feature
added to make Major Major output faster.) In
addition Weasel now posts an event flag on incoming
mail.
Added check that ensures that the SMTP commands for
outgoing mail use angle brackets around the addresses.
Version 0.97
Fixed error: multiple copies of mail being sent out.
MIME encapsulation for failure message.
Version 0.96
Periodic re-scan of "forward" directory to see whether
mail has been placed there by other programs.
Endmail modified so that it no longer uses the $i
parameter, for compatibility with newer versions of
sendmail. (This won't affect most Weasel users.
It's relevant only if you use a Weasel/sendmail
combination.)
PMSetup changed so that "public" is the initial default
for an alias.
Faster shutdown when dealing with hard-to-deliver mail.
We now add Message-ID header if it's missing.
Adaptive timeout for outgoing SMTP connection.
In SMTPData.AcceptOneLine, made provision for a Nul
appearing as an incoming data character.
Fixed error: was running out of memory when there were
more than 800 mails waiting to be sent.
Version 0.95
Fixed a list corruption problem in POP-before-SMTP
authentication.
Removed the source files and some of the tools from
the main distribution. (Tools are now available
for separate download - they rarely change from one
version to another.)
Version 0.94
Added option for POP-before-SMTP authentication.
Filter strategy changed back to using DosExecPgm (since
the other solution was preventing filters from being
run when Weasel was run detached).
Fixed an error in the Setup "promote host" operation.
Added server replies to detailed transaction log.
Added option to specify a nonstandard relay port.
Added "Real name" and "comments" fields to user data
in PMSetup.
Version 0.93
Added option to use Realtime Blackhole List.
"Bounce" messages to local users are now delivered without
having to go on-line.
Fixed PMSetup bug (SMTP timeout)
Filter strategy changed - now using DosStartSession which
appears to be more reliable.
Transaction log now shows which host we sent mail through.
Fixed a PMSetup bug - was failing to write back a host list
after all items were deleted.
Added option to check whether the MAIL FROM address is on a
blacklisted host.
Added option to use a relay host as a backup.
Version 0.92
Added option to accept mail for unknown users.
Added -G option to PMSetup.
Check whether outbound mail is looping.
Minor change to POPGET - doesn't create new directories.
Simplified module TaskControl.
Fixed some memory leaks in the kernel.
Filters now inherit the environment, including PATH.
Reduced the "going online" delay to 4 seconds.
Version 0.91
Now using version 2.32 of the compiler. This should fix
a "thread leak" problem.
Fixed error in filtering: non-local recipients were
missing from the list of recipients.
Added SEND.CMD to the Tools collection.
Repaired error in POPGET.CMD.
More accurate handling of timeout.
Fixed socket leak on "failed to connect" condition.
Added a "for" item on the timestamp, but only in the case
of a single recipient.
Allow for longer responses from nameserver.
Version 0.90
PMSetup in remote mode now creates user directories if
necessary (requires an upgrade to version 0.4 of INIServe).
Fixed a problem in endmail.
SMTP log uses IP address if hostname cannot be found.
Tightened up a check for pathological cases; this seems to
solve a problem where hard-to-reach destinations led to
a crash.
Version 0.88
Added SMTP and POP log files.
Changed way we determine our own host address.
Minor enhancements to PMSetup.
Allow a numeric range in a list of host names.
Minor change to screen output format.
Fixed a Setup bug that was causing a spurious error message
in the log, and another that was causing the "relay dest"
list to be incorrectly stored.
Version 0.87
New system for wildcard matching on host names.
Optional filter for incoming mail.
Relay mail allowed to specified destinations.
Setup updated to allow for new options.
Outgoing mail is held until a file 'ONLINE' exists.
Complete rewrite of PMSetup.

Timeout on remote host when sending mail.
Now running 4 threads for outbound mail.
Minor fix to reading mailroot from INI file.
Major change to the way "forward" mail is stored.
Scavenge.exe modified to convert any unsent mail to the new format.
Setup creates mailroot directory if it didn't exist.
Obsolete threads killed a little faster.
Fixed a problem where a session would time out when
transferring a large file.
PMSetup added to distribution.
Version 0.83, 0.84
(Private test versions, never released.)
Version 0.82
Fixed a memory allocation error in LoadINI.
Minor change in the host name-matching, which might help
with a reported error of wildcards not working.
Fixed a problem of spurious characters being inserted in
incoming mail that contains byte-stuffing at beginning
of line.
Minor correction to the nameserver lookup code, for the
case where there is no MX entry for the destination domain.
REXX script to migrate OS2PopS user data.
Version 0.81
Fixed an error that caused the software to lose track of
some outgoing messages.
Scavenge utility added to the distribution.
Version 0.8
Change in MX check - swap byte order of IP address in case
where MX record not found. (And software tidied up to
guard against other cases of confusion between network
byte order and host byte order.)
Changed the re-try strategy, to improve the chances of
successful delivery of mail to hard-to-reach destinations.
Increased the number of retries, to a total of 26 attempts
over four days.
Version 0.7
Redundant nameserver lookup removed (should speed up
delivery slightly for outgoing mail).
Fixed an error in APOP authentication calculation.
SMTP connection dropped if client sends too many
undecipherable commands.
Changed the "user not local" response code from 251 to
250, to work around a Netscape bug.
Source code added to distribution.
Version 0.6
More detailed checks for a valid sequence of SMTP commands.
More careful checking for uniqueness of generated file
names for received mail.
Added a Return-Path: line to mail header on final delivery.

incoming mail.
Version 0.5
Retries of outgoing mail (for 4 days) implemented.
Fixed an error in alias expansion.
Fixed a problem of sockets not being released.
Version 0.4
New feature: aliases.
Local host names: we now accept "mymachine" as a synonym
for "mymachine.localdomain".
If POP mailbox is locked, extra clients can still log in,
but they'll see an empty mailbox.
Added check for duplicate local recipients.
Fixed a bug that caused the SMTP server to use an alias
instead of the official host name.
Local usernames are now case-insensitive; but we don't alter
the case of remote usernames, in case the remote server
uses case sensitivity.
Version 0.3
Mail relaying permitted for trusted hosts. (This is the
biggest change - I had to add a major subsystem for
dealing with outgoing mail.)
Locked mailboxes automatically unlocked at startup.
New "wildcard" syntax for domain names in Setup.
General overhaul of everything.
Version numbering system changed.
Version 0.02
Added check for missing user directory.
Fixed a logging error: transaction log was going to the wrong
file, and causing the INI file to explode in size.
Inetd option implemented (but not yet tested).
Allowing a list of possible names for the current host.
Check for banned clients.
Version 0.01
First beta-test release.
