Changelog
courier-filter-perl (0.200) unstable; urgency=low
Debian:
+ New upstream version. (Closes: #344173)
+ Automatically start and stop courier-filter-perl using Courier's
`filterctl` post-installation and pre-removal, respectively.
! "courier-filter-perl.conf" (previously "pureperlfilter.conf") config file
is no longer a conffile managed by dpkg. Migrate seamlessly.
! Install courier-filter-perl executable into /usr/lib/courier/filters/
rather than /usr/lib/.
> control:
* Section: mail (was: perl)
* Standards-Version: 3.7.3
* Raised debhelper compat level to 5 / Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 5)
* Build-Depends: debhelper (was: Build-Depends-Indep:)
* Removed Build-Depends-Indep: libtest-simple-perl (now provided by
perl-modules)
* Recommends: libmail-spf-perl (was: libmail-spf-query-perl)
* Recommends: libnet-rblclient-perl, libclamav-client-perl (was: Suggests:)
* Removed Recommends: libdigest-md5-perl (now provided by perl)
* Removed Recommends: libnet-dns-perl (unused)
* Suggests: libnet-address-ip-local-perl
(was: libnet-address-ipv4-local-perl)
> rules:
* Run `$(BUILD) distclean` only if $(BUILD) actually exists.
Courier::Filter:
! Config file has been renamed to "courier-filter-perl.conf" from
"pureperlfilter.conf".
Courier::Message:
* Fixed a bug that caused crashes when encountering invalid (e.g., non-ASCII)
characters in raw MIME encoded words.
* Fixed fallback decoding of raw message headers from non-ASCII, non-UTF-8
encodings such as ISO-8859-1. Previously, any non-UTF-8 byte sequences
would be decoded as the "�" Unicode substitution character. Now this
case properly falls back to reinterpreting the entire header as Windows-
1252.
Note: In the absence of the experimental "UTF8SMTP" SMTP extension,
non-ASCII characters are formally illegal in raw message headers, so this
really only affects exceptional cases.
* Eliminated some corner case "Use of uninitialized value" warnings.
Courier::Config:
* Lower-cased and slightly adjusted constant/method names. Compatibility
aliases for the old names are provided.
+ Added courier_executable() and courier_version() methods. See man-page.
Courier::Util:
+ Added as a utility module for use by other modules of the Courier::Filter
framework.
Courier::Filter::Module:
+ Added warn() method for writing warning messages to syslog.
DNSBL filter module:
* Ignore messages received via IPv4/IPv6 loopback addresses (i.e., self
submissions).
SPF filter module:
* Use Mail::SPF instead of the old Mail::SPF::Query. Added new "spf_options"
option with options for Mail::SPF::Server.
+ The switch to Mail::SPF brings IPv6 support!
+ Support both MAIL FROM and HELO checks separately.
! Deprecated "fallback_guess" and "trusted_forwarders" options in favor of
the "default_policy" and "tfwl" keys to the "spf_options" option. The old
options induce a warning when specified but are still supported for now.
Due to the move from the obsolete Mail::SPF::Query module to the Mail::SPF,
the (yet unreleased) Mail::SPF::BlackMagic extension module is now required
when using these non-standard options.
! Deprecated the "unknown" and "error" SPF result codes in favor of the new
"permerror" and "temperror" ones defined in RFC 4408. The old result codes
induce a warning when specified in the "match_on" option but are still
supported for now.
* Ignore messages with an empty identity of the configured scope (esp. empty
MAIL FROM, i.e., bounces) or with an identity in the form of an IP address
literal ("[<ip-address>]").
SPFout filter module:
* Use Mail::SPF instead of the old Mail::SPF::Query. Added new "spf_options"
option with options for Mail::SPF::Server.
* Use the IPv6-supporting Net::Address::IP::Local rather than the IPv4-only
Net::Address::IPv4::Local module for auto-discovery of the local system's
outbound IP addresses. Note that auto-discovery does not work from behind
NATs, in which case outbound IP addresses must be configured manually using
the "outbound_ip_addresses" option.
+ The switch to Mail::SPF and Net::Address::IP::Local brings IPv6 support!
! Deprecated the "unknown" and "error" SPF result codes in favor of the new
"permerror" and "temperror" ones defined in RFC 4408. The old result codes
induce a warning when specified in the "match_on" option but are still
supported for now.
* Ignore messages with an empty identity of the configured scope (esp. empty
MAIL FROM, i.e., bounces) or with an identity in the form of an IP address
literal ("[<ip-address>]").
SpamAssassin filter module:
+ Added a "prefs_file" option for easy configuration of Courier::Filter
specific SpamAssassin preferences. SpamAssassin now will not read any
preferences besides its default configuration files unless this option is
specified.
* Eliminated memory leak by properly cleaning up Mail::SpamAssassin::Message
objects.
BlankBody filter module:
+ Added for matching blank message bodies (a stupid spammer symptom).
FakeDate filter module:
+ Added for matching implausible and malformed date header fields.
SendCopy filter module:
+ Added for sending message copies to additional recipients.
courier-filter-perl (0.17) unstable; urgency=low
Debian:
* Recommends: libmime-perl, not libmime-tools-perl. (Closes: #297730)
* Recommends: libio-stringy-perl (>= 2.110), libmail-spamassassin-perl,
libarchive-zip-perl.
Courier::Filter:
* If socket already exists, check whether it is dead or alive. If it is
dead, remove it and start up normally. If it is alive, die like before.
(Closes: #326785)
* Ignore connections that don't send any data.
Courier::Message:
* Decode header text as "UTF-8" encoded, not as "utf8" encoded. Starting
with Perl 5.8.7, this does make a difference. "utf8" allows invalid
Unicode codepoints (such as UTF-16 surrogates), while "UTF-8" (the official
standard UTF-8) doesn't. We want to avoid invalid codepoints because they
tend to cause trouble later.
* Don't die on invalid characters in encoded-word chunks. If an encoded-word
cannot be decoded, retain it undecoded.
* "authenticated" property: refined parsing of "Received:" header and "AUTH:"
authentication information.
* Added "authenticated_user" property.
* Corrected documentation of "header" property.
SPFout filter module:
* Don't be pedantic about what our "public" IPv4 address is vis-à-vis the
various recipient MXes. Assume we just have a single public address that
applies to all recipient MXes. (Let's see if anyone out there actually has
a more complex setup...)
Parts filter module:
* Requires libio-stringy-perl (>= 2.110), libarchive-zip-perl.
SpamAssassin filter module:
* Added for SpamAssassin-based spam detection.
* Requires libmail-spamassassin-perl.
Miscellaneous:
* Relaxed sender IPv4 address matching in DNSBL, SPF, and SPFout filter
modules, making the "::ffff:" IPv6 prefix optional and thus supporting
IPv6-disabled versions of Courier.
* Courier::Filter::Overview: Updated mention of pythonfilter from version 0.5
to 0.8.
* README: Added license statement.
* Minor documentation fixes.
