- Things to do:
- In the SSL support, we need to add server certificate validation (In
- other words, does the certificate match the system we are trying to
- contact?). Also, add authentication of Certifying Authority (Is this
- a Certifying Authority we recognize?).
- Jorge Godoy asked, about the MD5 sums: Are they on the RPMs? How about
- using GPG/PGP instead of MD5 to sign the packages? If people are
- worried with copies of it, GPG/PGP offers more security than MD5. I
- don't know exactly, but I think you can sign it both ways so that your
- package will have two security verifications instead of one...
- The Debian bug-tracking page for fetchmail is:

- true for ETRN mode only).
- * Modes other than ETRN no longer need to know the fetchmail host's FQDN.

- * DNS names of target servers are now canonicalized only once, at start
- of run, and then only if they'll actually be needed later for multidrop
- checking or fetching Kerberos tickets. This change eliminates many
- gethostbyname calls.
- * It's now possible to specify multiple spam-block responses as a list.
- * Download-progress dots are no longer generated when syslog is enabled.
- * 1.1 version of fetchmailconf.
- Note: the DNS-usage change might conceivably break your configuration
- if (a) you're using `no dns' and multidrop and (b) you're not
- specifying either a `via' option or pollname that is the host's
- canonical name. The thing to watch for will be an illegal domain name
- error from your listener. If this happens, just add a `via' option with
- the cononical FQDN of the host as argument.

- * Several fixes for command-line processing from Gunther Leber:
- - in fetchmail.c
- * set tmpbuf to NULL after freeing the buffer (so this will hopefully
- cause a coredump, when tmpbuf is used somewhere else)
- * when makeing sure we have a nonempty host list to forward to, I
- added "localhost" for non ETRN protocols. This should relieve the
- situation for people, who do neither have a static ip-address
- (hostname) assigned and don't bother to set up a dummy-interface
- for their hostname. I think this feature was already in fetchmail
- in an older version. We lost this, when we changed the code that it
- would work with ETRN. My fix here works for both ETRN and non ETRN.
- - in options.c
- * changed char buf[...] to *buf + xmalloc to avoid buffer overuns and
- possible resulting (and annoying) coredumps
- * in parsecmdline(): replaced atoi by xatoi which uses strtol and
- better validity checks for input numbers. This fix only works on
- ANSI-C systems; old systems still use atoi.

- just resent a mail to some other addresses.
- - Fix a bug in find_server_names() wich caused recipient addresses to

- pass through so local domains can be used (now has same policy as in

- parts in multidrop mode (make sure your aka list is complete before you use
- this!).
- * Options such as `nokeep' can now be written `no keep'.
- * RPOP support is back by user request.
- Note: The first two changes mean that older .fetchmailrc files using
- the `set' syntax for these options will cause fetchmail to die with a
- parse error at initialization time. Conversion is trivial -- for
- details, see the FAQ.
- bugs --
- * Stricter parsing of greeting message for the host name; eliminates some
- minor errors when using IMAP and the hostname is something like jet.es.
- * --quit in root-daemon mode didn't work, fixed this.
- * Ensure that default server parameters get properly zeroed out after each
- poll or skip statement in .fetchmailrc.
- * Arrange an EXPUNGE after each delete when using IMAP, so deletions get done
- OK even if there's a socket error before termination.
- * Simpler and better header-rewrite code, fixing some weird cases where
- it failed. Thanks to Masafumi NAKANE <max@wide.ad.jp> and
- Carey Evans <c.evans@student.canterbury.ac.nz> for pointing out these
- problems.

- before they are deleted. This improves recovery from sendmail and
- dropped-connection errors.
- * True stdio buffering of sockets at last, thanks to Cameron McPherson.
- This should be good for a significant throughput increase.
- * Almost all error messages that might be emitted in daemon mode now go
- through the error() subroutine. This is a first step towards allowing
- a daemon-mode fetchmail to use syslog.
- * SIGUSR1 is now used for wakeup rather than SIGHUP. This eliminates any
- possible confusion about fetchmail's behavior at logout time.
- * Received line parsing for envelope addresses now matches MX as well as
- canonical DNS addresses, making multidrop routing slightly more reliable.
- * Added --fetchlimit option to limit number of messages fetched in a
- single poll.
- bugs --

- * If SMTP returns 571 (unsolicited mail refused) to a MAIL FROM, the
- address is excluded by the local sendmail's spam filter. Drop the mail.
- (This is the only circumstance in which mail is thrown away.)
- * The header your mailserver uses to convey envelope addresses is no longer
- wired to `X-Envelope-Header'. You can now specify it with the `envelope'
- option in .fetchmailrc. (This header is not RFC822 standard, and we have a
- report of an ISP using X-Frontier-To).
- bugs --
- * Fixed a startup-time core dump introduced by 2.1's aka-list feature.
- * Fixed a bug in non-implicit mode (poll specified host), also due to aka.
- * Various minor portability fixes for Suns. Adding #include <errno.h>
- in fetchmail.c was the most significant one.
- * Avoid using -lresolv when possible, some Linux versions are badly broken.
- * Fix error in MX record handling that was causing multidrop problems.
- * Disable daemon SIGCHLD handler while an MDA is running, to avoid snafus.
- Thanks to Dave Bodenstab <imdave@synet.net> for spotting this obscure bug.
- There are 156 people on the fetchmail-friends list.

- fetchmail-2.1.0 (Thu Nov 28 11:07:48 EST 1996), 6529 lines:
- features --
- * Added FAQ file.
- * Try to pass envelope From to the listener so that logging and procmail
- processing works right. If that fails, fall back on calling-user.
- * Added `set logfile = ' option to rc syntax.
- * We now use X-Envelope-To headers and parse the Received lines. If
- X-Envelope-To is found, OK; otherwise we look for a `Received for' line;
- either is treated as a true envelope address. If neither of these are
- found we go to the To/Cc/Bcc header addresses.
- * Added `*' as a wildcard option for multidrop to ... here. This will allow
- names to be local names to be passed through from a multi-drop box on
- a mailserver
- * Added an `aka' option to allow users to declare mailserver aliases at start
- of run, so DNS does less work. During a run, cache host matches on the
- aka list so no potential alias has to be DNS-checked more than once.
- A server being polled explicitly may be referred to by any of its aliaseses.
- bugs --
- * Nalin Dahyabhai's fix patch for MIT Kerberos V4 support.
- * Fixed a fencepost error in the APOP code that was causing a core dump.
- * Skip flag wasn't getting reset on poll hosts following a skipped one.
- * Include remote name in saved UID mappings so multiple POP accounts on
- the same server won't get their UIDs confused.
- There are 138 people on the fetchmail-friends list.

- fetchmail-1.9.0 (Fri Oct 25 23:02:26 EDT 1996), 5294 lines:
- features --
- * FEATURE FREEZE IS NOW IN EFFECT! No new features until after 2.0. Thanks
- to everybody who contributed ideas and criticism.
- * It is now possible to specify multiple local recipients by giving a list
- of names following "to" or "is". Each local recipient is checked for in the
- To:, Cc: and Bcc: headers of each message; if a match is found, the message
- is sent to that local recipient. This makes it possible to do mailing
- lists and multidrop mailboxes. See the man page for details (and note
- the caveat in the BUGS AND KNOWN PROBLEMS section).
- * It is possible to specify a size limit for retrieved messages. I resisted
- doing this because I don't want fetchmail to be in the filtering game, but
- too many Europeans begged for it because their telecomms monopolies are
- price-gouging them on per-second phone charges. I will ignore, or be
- extremely rude to, anyone who takes this feature as a license to beg me
- for kill files or any other form of content-based filtering. Use
- procmail on your server if you want that.
- * If you use an MDA, the internal changes to support multi-drop mailboxes
- require that you *remove* the %s at the end of your MDA string. Local
- delivery addresses will be appended to the end of the command in the
- obvious way.
- * The first message from a query now includes the number of old messages
- when this can be determined (that is not under POP2).
- * POP3 UID support really works now. I make rude noises at the POP3 mavens
- who forced us to this with RFC1725, but thank Al Longyear <longyear@sii.com>
- for fixing and verifying my slightly buggy implementation.
- * Kerberos V4 support ditto. Thanks to Chris Hanson <cph@martigny.mit.edu>
- for this feature.
- * When there's a daemon fetchmail in background, running fetchmail in
- foreground without --quit now tries to wake the daemon and force it
- to poll immediately.
- * Add option to set server nonresponse timeout.
- * Password is no longer displayed in verbose mode.
- * You may use C-like escapes to embed non-printables in passwords and other
- strings. Fetchmail -V will display them in a printable form.
- * Program now tries to set itself to the ID of the local user before
- running an MDA, and reset to root afterwards. This will work on
- any system with seteuid(2), including Linux and the BSDs.
- bugs --
- * Default user name to deliver to is now the calling user, unless
- program is running as root in which case it is the remote user name
- (default can be overridden with an `is' or `to' declaration).
- In versions up to 1.7 it was the calling user; in 1.8 the remote
- user ID. This created some confusion.
- * Accept RFC822 headers with a tab after the colon.
- * You now see a "skipping" message for each message not retrieved.
- * --keep no longer overrides --flush.
- * Rewrite "To: jrh (J. Random Hacker)" correctly.
- * Find "nnn octets" anywhere on a POP3 server's RETR response line.
- * Fixed various bugs in --check. It now reports PS_SUCCESS only if
- there is new mail waiting.
- * Under Linux, if fetchmail is run in daemon mode with the network
- inaccessible, each poll leaves a socket allocated but in CLOSE state
- (this is visible in netstat(1)'s output). These sockets aren't
- garbage-collected until fetchmail exits. When whatever kernel table
- is involved fills up, fetchmail can no longer run even if the network is up.
- To avoid this, fetchmail now commits seppuku after some number of
- unsuccessful socket opens.
- * Don't try using FLAGS.SILENT, some allegedly IMAP2bis servers seem to
- choke on it.
- There are 100 people on the fetchmail-friends list.
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- fetchmail-1.8.0 (Fri Oct 11 15:08:10 EDT 1996), 4586 lines:
- features --
- * Use kill(0, pid) to make lock handling a bit smarter (thanks to Johan
- Vromans <JVromans@squirrel.nl> for the suggestion).
- * Arrange for timeout of client after 5 minutes if connection to server is
- dropped (thanks to Gaspar Sinai <gsinai@gol.com>).
- * All pretensions to RPOP support have been dropped. Yes, this is a feature,
- RPOP is very vulnerable to spoofing! Use APOP instead.
- * Normal start-of-read message now displays the byte (excuse me, "octet")
- size of the message. Yes, 3schwend, you can stop noodging me now :-).
- * Normal progress notifications now take only 1 line per message, not 2.
- * Linux packagers: building fetchmail now generates an RPM specfile for it.
- * Kerberos V4 support via KPOP protocol (thanks to Chris Hanson).
- * New --check option for asking server whether there is mail without
- actually retrieving or deleting it.
- * UID support is back by popular demand. Bletch.
- * Permit spaces in IMAP passwords (ship them as quoted strings).
- bugs --
- * Fix buggy getopt specification of P and p options.
- * Fix uninitialized-variable bug that was hanging second IMAP queries.
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- fetchmail-1.7.0 (Tue Oct 8 11:32:44 EDT 1996):
- features --
- * Noise words for rcfile syntax make English-like syntax possible.
- * Make configure more GNUish; it understands --prefix and other standard
- autoconf options now (see INSTALL for details)
- * Better documentation of the new .fetchmailrc extensions and the slightly
- stricter rules for ordering options.
- * Expanded installation instructions including how to test for correct
- operation without losing mail to misconfigured MDAs, alias loops, etc.
- bugs --
- * You may have to rearrange the order of options in your .fetchmailrc.
- The grammar for the new multiple-user syntax requires that server
- options (protocol and port) come before any user options.
- * Fixed core dump bug that was screwing configurations with no .fetchmailrc.
- * Fixed broken 'p' option.
- * `norewrite' and `rewrite' in .fetchrc were the inverses of what they
- should have been (but the rewrite default was set correctly).
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- fetchmail-1.6.0 (Sun Oct 6 20:55:09 EDT 1996), 4052 lines:
- features --
- * You can now have multiple entries for the same server but different
- users, and the right thing will happen (each user's mailbox will
- be queried). Even better, you can now specify multiple users in a
- single server entry.
- * Restore --mda, seems some people either can't run a port 25 listener
- due to bizarre dynamic-SLIP problems, or won't for security reasons.
- * When delivering to an MDA, print error and die (before deleting the message!)
- if the MDA returns nonzero status. Better safe than sorry.
- * If fetchmail is called through a link named `popclient' it will look in
- ~/.poprc for a run control file. Unless that file includes the deleted
- options limit and localfolder this should actually work.
- bug fixes --
- * Makefile fixes for correct linking on Sparcs and avoiding duplication of
- the md5 files (leading to harmless install-time error messages).
- * Fix a bonehead coding error in pop3_delete() that was masked by the
- Intel register architecture. *blush* Thanks to Jay Anderson
- <anderson@optical.bms.com>.
- * Fix bug that prevented SMTP from being specified on the defaults line.
- * Allow program to generate correct lockfiles when USER is undefined
- (i.e. under zsh).
- * Allow program to run with no .fetchmailrc file again.
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- fetchmail-1.5.0 (Thu Oct 3 04:35:15 EDT 1996), 3892 lines:
- * Naturally, my decision to announce 1.4 on comp.os.linux.announce
- immediately caused the code to manifest its first real bug --
- a core dump when the "From:" header is spelled "from:" (all lower
- case). Fixed.
- * Update and expansion of NOTES.
- * The --all and --flush flag validity checks move to driver.c.
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- fetchmail-1.4.0 (Wed Oct 2 09:22:37 EDT 1996), 3884 lines:
- * More man page improvements.
- * Lexer changes to work around bison's "feature" of silently ignoring 0-value
- tokens (caused options nokeep, norewrite, nofetchall, noskip to be no-ops).
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- fetchmail-1.3.0 (Tue Oct 1 05:49:49 EDT 1996):
- * Significant man page improvements.
- * Escapes for newlines in .fetchmailrc are now optional.
- * Kill off -2 and -3 options, redundant popclient remnants.
- * IMAP code simplification and robustification. Use FETCH FLAGS to find
- seen messages. Code should now work even if unseen messages are
- interspersed with seen ones, and even if messages are appended to the
- mailbox during the run.
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- fetchmail-1.2.0 (Sat Sep 28 15:40:50 EDT 1996), 3943 lines:
- * The great option massacre. Remove --stdout, --limit, --local, --mda.
- We get a significant code and complexity shrinkage this way (a lot of the
- configuration machinery goes away too). These things are your MDA's job.
- (This also kills off the lose-mail-on-disk-full bug, which I've never
- seen but two users reported.)
- * Link APOP support by default.
- * Fix embarrassing Makefile bug.
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- fetchmail-1.1.0 (Sat Sep 28 09:21:10 EDT 1996), 4388 lines:
- * In POP3, don't send LAST if STAT shows count of waiting messages to be zero.
- * Document APOP better, we know it works now.
- * Lose the .fetchids file and give up on POP3 UIDs, they're a dead loss.
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- fetchmail-1.0.0 (Thu Sep 26 11:59:38 EDT 1996), 4453 lines:
- * SMTP forwarding and header-rewrite features work with POP2 now.
- * Stricter RFC822 conformance, so SMTP to qmail works. Thanks to
- Cameron MacPherson <unsound@oz.net> for these changes.
- * The program is quieter but more informative now (suppress printing of
- server greeting message; add the server host being queried to the
- message count information line).
- * Add `skip' option to make it easier to set up test entries.
- * Name change (it ain't just for POP any more).
- ==============================================================================
- popclient-3.2 (Mon Sep 23 13:29:46 EDT 1996):
- * RPOP support (coded at a user's request but untested).
- * Ported to QNX (see the Makefile).
- * Add code by Michael Schwendt <3schwend@informatik.uni-hamburg.de> for
- improved sizeticker.
- * Improved RFC822 parsing (thanks to Rob Funk).
- * Move the per-user lockfile to /tmp so it gets cleared at reboot time.
- * Warn users that running concurrent instances of popclient is a bad idea.
- * Try USER and HOME to set defaults before going to the password file.
- This should work better in Sun NIS environments.
- popclient-3.1 (Thu Sep 12 15:45:25 EDT 1996):
- * MDA arguments are now dumped when using the -V option.
- * Sendmail delivery from background seems to work now.
- * We have IMAP2bis/IMAP4 support.
- * Code now autoprobes for a POP3, IMAP, or POP2 server if no protocol is
- specified.
- * SMTP forwarding support. Thanks to Harry Hochheiser <harry@tigger.jvnc.net>
- for this simple but clever idea. It's now the default delivery mode.
- * If no UNIX From line is found, popclient will now synthesize a correct
- line from the RFC822 From line.
- * It is now possible to specify the host TCP/IP port number to connect to.
- popclient-3.05 (Thu Aug 22 22:59:04 EDT 1996):
- * Experimental support for RFC1725-compliant POP servers with the UIDL
- command and without LAST.
- popclient-3.04 (Wed Aug 21 00:22:44 EDT 1996):
- * Logfile option works.
- popclient-3.03:
- * Minor bug fixes for password querying and redirection to stdout.
- popclient-3.02 (Fri Jul 19 11:37:56 EDT 1996), 3682 lines:
- * Correct buggy processing of nokeep/noflush/fetchall.
- * Fix buggy -mda option processing.
- * Added -N/--norewrite option.
- * Delivery via sendmail now works in non-daemon mode.
- popclient-3.01 (Mon Jul 1 13:33:51 EDT 1996):
- * Fixed a lexical analyzer bug in quoted-string processing.
- * Fixed a bug in dump_options that caused username to be displayed incorrectly.
- * The lock assertion code was in the wrong place relative to the daemonize()
- call.
- popclient-3.0 (Fri Jun 28 11:33:34 EDT 1996):
- Eric S. Raymond <esr@thyrsus.com> hacked extensively on 3.0b6 and took over
- the package with the consent of Carl Harris, the original implementor.
- Some of the 3.0 feature additions were inspired by Sean Oh's fetchpop 1.8
- code, and a few use code directly lifted from fetchpop. Here are my (Eric's)
- change notes:
- CONFIGURATION AND BUILDING
- * The autoconfigure script incorrectly assumed that all Linuxes use
- /usr/bin/deliver. Under Linux it now checks for both /usr/bin/delivermail
- and /bin/mail.
- * I added a distribution-maker production to Makefile.in.
- OPTIONS AND COMMAND LINE
- * I have removed the -p command-line option. Given that there's a run control
- facility there is no excuse for encouraging users to put plaintext passwords
- in scripts which might be readable.
- * Calling popclient with no arguments now causes it to query or operate
- on every host in the run control file.
- * I have made --version more useful by having it dump the computed
- connection options for each server specified.
- * The user can now explicitly set an MDA (such as procmail) with the
- new option -m or -mda. Various possible MDAs are listed on the man page.
- POPRC FILE SYNTAX
- * The run control file lexer now supports "-enclosed strings which may
- contain whitespace.
- * I added a --yydebug option to enable run control parser debugging at
- runtime if the parser was generated with --debug. It's not documented.
- * You may now have a `defaults' entry in the run control file which sets
- overrideable values for other entries. See the man page for details.
- * It is now possible to set keep, flush and fetchall in your run control
- file.
- * Fixed incorrect numbering of source lines in run control file parse error
- messages.
- * The configure.in specification no longer uses the obsolete AC_TRY_COMPILE
- macro (it uses AC_TRY_LINK instead).
- MAILBOX LOCKING
- * I have added mandatory locking of mailbox files where supported.
- This will cover Linux systems, in particular.
- * The default behavior is now to do lock-protected append on the user's
- system mailbox rather than using delivermail or some other MDA.
- (This is a performance hack.)
- * The autoconfigure script now looks for standard mail locations. The
- default mail delivery agent is used only if it can't find a mail spool
- directory in the standard places.
- FUNCTIONAL ENHANCEMENTS
- * When using POP3, message headers are edited so that replies won't foo up.
- Anything that looks like a mail ID local to the POP host gets @ and the
- pop servername attached to it before being appended to the user's
- mailbox or passed to an MDA.
- * I have implemented daemon mode.
- * I have added a lock check to ensure that there is only one popclient
- running per user, and a --quit option to kill the currently running
- one.
- DOCUMENTATION
- * All changes and feature additions have been tested in actual use and are
- documented on the man page.
- * I have turned the comments in the sample run control file into a new manual
- section documenting the file format.
- MISCELLANEOUS BUG FIXES
- * I fixed some de-initialization bugs in pop2.c and pop3.c that led to
- fd leaks (these became painfully obvious when I tested daemon mode!).
- * I've fixed the flaky parser error messages. They turned out to be due
- to a misdeclaration of yytext.
- These are Carl Harris's change notes from previous releases:
- 3.0b5
- o "From " header fix in pop2.c and pop3.c
- o Surpress "..." output when --stdout option specified in pop3.c
- 3.0b4
- o alloca fix.
- o various diagnostic/informational message fixes.
- 3.0b3
- o Support for retrieving only new messages from maildrop when
- using POP3.
- o Support for retrieving only the first n lines of each message
- when using POP3.
- o APOP authentication support.
- o Buffered socket input.
- 3.0b2
- This is a "new features" release.
- o support for .poprc file.
- o GNU-style long options.
- o fixed passwords appearing in 'ps' output
- o support for multiple servers on one command line
- 3.0b1
- This is mostly a test of the autoconfigure integration.
- Among the functions performed by the new configure script, is
- the ability to detect known system types, configures the mail
- delivery agent (MDA) correctly. This should permanently solve
- the problem of using something other than an MDA for mail
- delivery (which continues to plague Linux slackware 1.2.9).
- For this beta, please check the values of MDA_PATH and MDA_ARGS
- carefully. They should match the values found in your
- sendmail.cf file on the line which begins with "Mlocal".
- Other changes from popclient version 2.21:
- o no longer uses getpass() from the C library. The
- internal getpassword() function allows the use of long
- passwords.
- o integrated GNU getopt() for long options. Long option
- names will appear in a future beta.
- o Several compiler warnings fixed.
- o Fixed problems related to missing include files in
- Solaris port.
