[fetchmail-announce] The 5.9.10 release of fetchmail is available

The 5.9.10 release of fetchmail is now available at the usual locations,
including <URL:http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/fetchmail>.

The source archive is available at:
<URL:http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/fetchmail/fetchmail-5.9.10.tar.gz>

Here are the release notes:

fetchmail-5.9.10 (Sun Mar 10 15:09:57 EST 2002), 21529 lines:

* Security fix: don't trust the message count passed back by the server.

fetchmail-5.9.9 (Sat Mar  9 08:54:28 EST 2002), 21508 lines:

* Renamed misnamed tr.po and da.po files
* Jakub Ulanowski's patch to fix SSL fingerprint handling.
* Matt Kraai's patch for supporting STLS over POP3.
* French translation updated.
* Debian fixes merged.
* Added maildrop (MDA shipped with courier) as fallback after procmail
  and sendmail (thanks to Alexander Lazic <al-fetchmail <at> none.at>).
* ESMTP AUTH support from Wojciech Polak <polak <at> lodz.pdi.net>.

There are 481 people on fetchmail-friends and 646 on fetchmail-announce.

Two releases in quick succession, because of the security issue.  There was
a theoretically exploitable hole that would have required a hostile server
or DNS spoofing attack.

By popular demand, diffs from the previous release have been omitted.

Hi there,

This is the 3rd release so far that doesn't build for me under Solaris
2.6.  Doesn't matter whether I use --with-included-gettext or not.  Is
there something missing in my environment?
