Happy New Year to you all!
I have just released the latest stable version of MailScanner, 4.49.
This should be noticeably faster than previous releases. Noticeable
changes are:
- Speed improvements for sendmail, Postfix and Exim systems.
- The output of "ps" now states what each MailScanner process is doing
at the time so you can easily see any problems and it helps you monitor
the state of your system.
- New configuration options to make simple filename and filetype rules
much easier to handle, especially when you want different filename/type
restrictions for different people. The old system is still there, is
still used, and works just as before. But now with the extra new "Allow
Filenames", "Deny Filenames", "Accept Filetypes", "Deny Filetypes"
configuration options you can easily write conventional rulesets to
control these features. These are applied before the filename.rules.conf
and filetype.rules.conf files. The order is "Accept" then "Deny" then
file{name,type}.rules.conf.
Download as usual from www.mailscanner.info.
The full Change Log is this:
* New Features and Improvements *
- Speed improvements for sendmail systems by changing the
way temporary files are handled and how attachments are parsed. This
should be really noticeable if I've got it right.
Thanks for the great help of the Vodafone SHARK team.
- Added speed improvements for Exim.
