found. If it is set and contains f or i, qmail-inject or qmail's
292
sendmail `compatibility' wrapper will rewrite From: or Message-ID:
293

* Added a length check to from64tobits() after receiving a warning that
310
it might create buffer overflows. No exploitable overflows were found by
311
a careful case-by-case audit, and at minimum an exploit would have required
312
that the mailserver be subverted or DNS be spoofed to enable a
313
man-in-the-middle attack.

856
rpm-4.0 does a find(1) over the stuff to be installed and gzip(1)s the

manpages it finds. This gets messed up by the explicit symlink among

1552

1553
* Fixed the spam-block code that I broke in 4.5.3 :-(.
1554
* Updated the entry on setting up sendmail spam blocks.
1555
* Added setrlimit call to inhibit core dumps unless debugging is on.
1556
* The default of smtplist has been changed; the undocumented feature that
1557
it always included the fetchmail host's FQDN is gone (this is now
1558
true for ETRN mode only).
1559
* Modes other than ETRN no longer need to know the fetchmail host's FQDN.
1560
This eliminates a gethostbyname() call and makes fetchmail more independent
1561
of local DNS configuration quirks.

* Minor fixes to the GSSAPI code. Seems to work with stock UW IMAP now.
1576
* Fetchmail running as root now sends misaddressed multidrop mail to
1577
`postmaster', not root. Added `postmaster' option to allow override.
1578
* DNS names of target servers are now canonicalized only once, at start
1579
of run, and then only if they'll actually be needed later for multidrop
1580
checking or fetching Kerberos tickets. This change eliminates many
1581
gethostbyname calls.
1582
* It's now possible to specify multiple spam-block responses as a list.
1583
* Download-progress dots are no longer generated when syslog is enabled.
1584
* 1.1 version of fetchmailconf.
1585
1586
Note: the DNS-usage change might conceivably break your configuration
1587
if (a) you're using `no dns' and multidrop and (b) you're not
1588
specifying either a `via' option or pollname that is the host's
1589
canonical name. The thing to watch for will be an illegal domain name
1590
error from your listener. If this happens, just add a `via' option with
1591
the cononical FQDN of the host as argument.

1647

1648

1658
* Patch by Kok Seng to prevent loss of UID info when a query fails.
1659
* Pascal Grudler <pg@dtx466.ledl.com> sent a fix for the idfile option.
1660
* Several fixes for command-line processing from Gunther Leber:
1661
- in fetchmail.c
1662
* set tmpbuf to NULL after freeing the buffer (so this will hopefully
1663
cause a coredump, when tmpbuf is used somewhere else)
1664
* when makeing sure we have a nonempty host list to forward to, I
1665
added "localhost" for non ETRN protocols. This should relieve the
1666
situation for people, who do neither have a static ip-address
1667
(hostname) assigned and don't bother to set up a dummy-interface
1668
for their hostname. I think this feature was already in fetchmail
1669
in an older version. We lost this, when we changed the code that it
1670
would work with ETRN. My fix here works for both ETRN and non ETRN.
1671
- in options.c
1672
* changed char buf[...] to *buf + xmalloc to avoid buffer overuns and
1673
possible resulting (and annoying) coredumps
1674
* in parsecmdline(): replaced atoi by xatoi which uses strtol and
1675
better validity checks for input numbers. This fix only works on
1676
ANSI-C systems; old systems still use atoi.

1786
- Seek for the true sender of a mail which is not necessarily in the
1787
From: header. (see comments in the code for more explicit details).
1788
This one is particularly important with list distributions...
1789
- Respect the Resent-To/-Cc/-Bcc precedence over the To/Cc/Bcc headers
1790
for recipient delivery. So avoid resending a message to a person who
1791
just resent a mail to some other addresses.
1792
- Fix a bug in find_server_names() wich caused recipient addresses to
1793
figure twice in the recipient address list.
1794
- Modified parse_received() to let full adress from the Received header to
1795
pass through so local domains can be used (now has same policy as in
1796
the find_server_names() function).
1797
- Fixed memory leaks from readheaders().
1798
- Made some strcmp() be strcasecmp() as it should be because it didn't
1799
work correctly in some cases.
1800
- Modified reply_hack() to meet the needs of above modifications.

Thomas says these changes have been tested for two weeks in a production

aka list so no potential alias has to be DNS-checked more than once.
2728
A server being polled explicitly may be referred to by any of its aliaseses.

bugs --
2731
2732
* Nalin Dahyabhai's fix patch for MIT Kerberos V4 support.
2733
2734
* Fixed a fencepost error in the APOP code that was causing a core dump.
2735
2736
* Skip flag wasn't getting reset on poll hosts following a skipped one.
2737
2738
* Include remote name in saved UID mappings so multiple POP accounts on
2739
the same server won't get their UIDs confused.

2800
features --
2801
2802
* FEATURE FREEZE IS NOW IN EFFECT! No new features until after 2.0. Thanks
2803
to everybody who contributed ideas and criticism.
2804
2805
* It is now possible to specify multiple local recipients by giving a list
2806
of names following "to" or "is". Each local recipient is checked for in the
2807
To:, Cc: and Bcc: headers of each message; if a match is found, the message
2808
is sent to that local recipient. This makes it possible to do mailing
2809
lists and multidrop mailboxes. See the man page for details (and note
2810
the caveat in the BUGS AND KNOWN PROBLEMS section).
2811
2812
* It is possible to specify a size limit for retrieved messages. I resisted
2813
doing this because I don't want fetchmail to be in the filtering game, but
2814
too many Europeans begged for it because their telecomms monopolies are
2815
price-gouging them on per-second phone charges. I will ignore, or be
2816
extremely rude to, anyone who takes this feature as a license to beg me
2817
for kill files or any other form of content-based filtering. Use
2818
procmail on your server if you want that.
2819
2820
* If you use an MDA, the internal changes to support multi-drop mailboxes
2821
require that you *remove* the %s at the end of your MDA string. Local
2822
delivery addresses will be appended to the end of the command in the
2823
obvious way.
2824
2825
* The first message from a query now includes the number of old messages
2826
when this can be determined (that is not under POP2).
2827
2828
* POP3 UID support really works now. I make rude noises at the POP3 mavens
2829
who forced us to this with RFC1725, but thank Al Longyear <longyear@sii.com>
2830
for fixing and verifying my slightly buggy implementation.
2831
2832
* Kerberos V4 support ditto. Thanks to Chris Hanson <cph@martigny.mit.edu>
2833
for this feature.
2834
2835
* When there's a daemon fetchmail in background, running fetchmail in
2836
foreground without --quit now tries to wake the daemon and force it
2837
to poll immediately.
2838
2839
* Add option to set server nonresponse timeout.
2840
2841
* Password is no longer displayed in verbose mode.
2842
2843
* You may use C-like escapes to embed non-printables in passwords and other
2844
strings. Fetchmail -V will display them in a printable form.
2845
2846
* Program now tries to set itself to the ID of the local user before
2847
running an MDA, and reset to root afterwards. This will work on
2848
any system with seteuid(2), including Linux and the BSDs.
2849
2850
bugs --
2851
2852
* Default user name to deliver to is now the calling user, unless
2853
program is running as root in which case it is the remote user name
2854
(default can be overridden with an `is' or `to' declaration).
2855
In versions up to 1.7 it was the calling user; in 1.8 the remote
2856
user ID. This created some confusion.
2857
2858
* Accept RFC822 headers with a tab after the colon.
2859
2860
* You now see a "skipping" message for each message not retrieved.
2861
2862
* --keep no longer overrides --flush.
2863
2864
* Rewrite "To: jrh (J. Random Hacker)" correctly.
2865
2866
* Find "nnn octets" anywhere on a POP3 server's RETR response line.
2867
2868
* Fixed various bugs in --check. It now reports PS_SUCCESS only if
2869
there is new mail waiting.
2870
2871
* Under Linux, if fetchmail is run in daemon mode with the network
2872
inaccessible, each poll leaves a socket allocated but in CLOSE state
2873
(this is visible in netstat(1)'s output). These sockets aren't
2874
garbage-collected until fetchmail exits. When whatever kernel table
2875
is involved fills up, fetchmail can no longer run even if the network is up.
2876
To avoid this, fetchmail now commits seppuku after some number of
2877
unsuccessful socket opens.
2878
2879
* Don't try using FLAGS.SILENT, some allegedly IMAP2bis servers seem to
2880
choke on it.

2886
2887
features --
2888
2889
* Use kill(0, pid) to make lock handling a bit smarter (thanks to Johan
2890
Vromans <JVromans@squirrel.nl> for the suggestion).
2891
2892
* Arrange for timeout of client after 5 minutes if connection to server is
2893
dropped (thanks to Gaspar Sinai <gsinai@gol.com>).
2894
2895
* All pretensions to RPOP support have been dropped. Yes, this is a feature,
2896
RPOP is very vulnerable to spoofing! Use APOP instead.
2897
2898
* Normal start-of-read message now displays the byte (excuse me, "octet")
2899
size of the message. Yes, 3schwend, you can stop noodging me now :-).
2900
2901
* Normal progress notifications now take only 1 line per message, not 2.
2902
2903
* Linux packagers: building fetchmail now generates an RPM specfile for it.
2904
2905
* Kerberos V4 support via KPOP protocol (thanks to Chris Hanson).
2906
2907
* New --check option for asking server whether there is mail without
2908
actually retrieving or deleting it.
2909
2910
* UID support is back by popular demand. Bletch.
2911
2912
* Permit spaces in IMAP passwords (ship them as quoted strings).
2913
2914
bugs --
2915
2916
* Fix buggy getopt specification of P and p options.
2917
2918
* Fix uninitialized-variable bug that was hanging second IMAP queries.
2919

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2921
fetchmail-1.7.0 (Tue Oct 8 11:32:44 EDT 1996):
2922
2923
features --
2924
2925
* Noise words for rcfile syntax make English-like syntax possible.
2926
2927
* Make configure more GNUish; it understands --prefix and other standard
2928
autoconf options now (see INSTALL for details)
2929
2930
* Better documentation of the new .fetchmailrc extensions and the slightly
2931
stricter rules for ordering options.
2932
2933
* Expanded installation instructions including how to test for correct
2934
operation without losing mail to misconfigured MDAs, alias loops, etc.
2935
2936
bugs --
2937
2938
* You may have to rearrange the order of options in your .fetchmailrc.
2939
The grammar for the new multiple-user syntax requires that server
2940
options (protocol and port) come before any user options.
2941
2942
* Fixed core dump bug that was screwing configurations with no .fetchmailrc.
2943
2944
* Fixed broken 'p' option.
2945
2946
* `norewrite' and `rewrite' in .fetchrc were the inverses of what they
2947
should have been (but the rewrite default was set correctly).
2948
2949
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2950
fetchmail-1.6.0 (Sun Oct 6 20:55:09 EDT 1996), 4052 lines:
2951
2952
features --
2953
2954
* You can now have multiple entries for the same server but different
2955
users, and the right thing will happen (each user's mailbox will
2956
be queried). Even better, you can now specify multiple users in a
2957
single server entry.
2958
2959
* Restore --mda, seems some people either can't run a port 25 listener
2960
due to bizarre dynamic-SLIP problems, or won't for security reasons.
2961
2962
* When delivering to an MDA, print error and die (before deleting the message!)
2963
if the MDA returns nonzero status. Better safe than sorry.
2964
2965
* If fetchmail is called through a link named `popclient' it will look in
2966
~/.poprc for a run control file. Unless that file includes the deleted
2967
options limit and localfolder this should actually work.
2968
2969
bug fixes --
2970
2971
* Makefile fixes for correct linking on Sparcs and avoiding duplication of
2972
the md5 files (leading to harmless install-time error messages).
2973
2974
* Fix a bonehead coding error in pop3_delete() that was masked by the
2975
Intel register architecture. *blush* Thanks to Jay Anderson
2976
<anderson@optical.bms.com>.
2977
2978
* Fix bug that prevented SMTP from being specified on the defaults line.
2979
2980
* Allow program to generate correct lockfiles when USER is undefined
2981
(i.e. under zsh).
2982
2983
* Allow program to run with no .fetchmailrc file again.
2984
2985
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2986
fetchmail-1.5.0 (Thu Oct 3 04:35:15 EDT 1996), 3892 lines:
2987
* Naturally, my decision to announce 1.4 on comp.os.linux.announce
2988
immediately caused the code to manifest its first real bug --
2989
a core dump when the "From:" header is spelled "from:" (all lower
2990
case). Fixed.
2991
* Update and expansion of NOTES.
2992
* The --all and --flush flag validity checks move to driver.c.
2993
2994
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2995
fetchmail-1.4.0 (Wed Oct 2 09:22:37 EDT 1996), 3884 lines:
2996
* More man page improvements.
2997
* Lexer changes to work around bison's "feature" of silently ignoring 0-value
2998
tokens (caused options nokeep, norewrite, nofetchall, noskip to be no-ops).
2999
3000
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3001
fetchmail-1.3.0 (Tue Oct 1 05:49:49 EDT 1996):
3002
* Significant man page improvements.
3003
* Escapes for newlines in .fetchmailrc are now optional.
3004
* Kill off -2 and -3 options, redundant popclient remnants.
3005
* IMAP code simplification and robustification. Use FETCH FLAGS to find
3006
seen messages. Code should now work even if unseen messages are
3007
interspersed with seen ones, and even if messages are appended to the
3008
mailbox during the run.
3009
3010
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3011
fetchmail-1.2.0 (Sat Sep 28 15:40:50 EDT 1996), 3943 lines:
3012
* The great option massacre. Remove --stdout, --limit, --local, --mda.
3013
We get a significant code and complexity shrinkage this way (a lot of the
3014
configuration machinery goes away too). These things are your MDA's job.
3015
(This also kills off the lose-mail-on-disk-full bug, which I've never
3016
seen but two users reported.)
3017
* Link APOP support by default.
3018
* Fix embarrassing Makefile bug.
3019
3020
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3021
fetchmail-1.1.0 (Sat Sep 28 09:21:10 EDT 1996), 4388 lines:
3022
* In POP3, don't send LAST if STAT shows count of waiting messages to be zero.
3023
* Document APOP better, we know it works now.
3024
* Lose the .fetchids file and give up on POP3 UIDs, they're a dead loss.
3025
3026
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3027
fetchmail-1.0.0 (Thu Sep 26 11:59:38 EDT 1996), 4453 lines:
3028
* SMTP forwarding and header-rewrite features work with POP2 now.
3029
* Stricter RFC822 conformance, so SMTP to qmail works. Thanks to
3030
Cameron MacPherson <unsound@oz.net> for these changes.
3031
* The program is quieter but more informative now (suppress printing of
3032
server greeting message; add the server host being queried to the
3033
message count information line).
3034
* Add `skip' option to make it easier to set up test entries.
3035
* Name change (it ain't just for POP any more).
3036
3037
==============================================================================
3038
popclient-3.2 (Mon Sep 23 13:29:46 EDT 1996):
3039
* RPOP support (coded at a user's request but untested).
3040
* Ported to QNX (see the Makefile).
3041
* Add code by Michael Schwendt <3schwend@informatik.uni-hamburg.de> for
3042
improved sizeticker.
3043
* Improved RFC822 parsing (thanks to Rob Funk).
3044
* Move the per-user lockfile to /tmp so it gets cleared at reboot time.
3045
* Warn users that running concurrent instances of popclient is a bad idea.
3046
* Try USER and HOME to set defaults before going to the password file.
3047
This should work better in Sun NIS environments.
3048
3049
popclient-3.1 (Thu Sep 12 15:45:25 EDT 1996):
3050
* MDA arguments are now dumped when using the -V option.
3051
* Sendmail delivery from background seems to work now.
3052
* We have IMAP2bis/IMAP4 support.
3053
* Code now autoprobes for a POP3, IMAP, or POP2 server if no protocol is
3054
specified.
3055
* SMTP forwarding support. Thanks to Harry Hochheiser <harry@tigger.jvnc.net>
3056
for this simple but clever idea. It's now the default delivery mode.
3057
* If no UNIX From line is found, popclient will now synthesize a correct
3058
line from the RFC822 From line.
3059
* It is now possible to specify the host TCP/IP port number to connect to.
3060
3061
popclient-3.05 (Thu Aug 22 22:59:04 EDT 1996):
3062
* Experimental support for RFC1725-compliant POP servers with the UIDL
3063
command and without LAST.
3064
3065
popclient-3.04 (Wed Aug 21 00:22:44 EDT 1996):
3066
* Logfile option works.
3067
3068
popclient-3.03:
3069
* Minor bug fixes for password querying and redirection to stdout.
3070
3071
popclient-3.02 (Fri Jul 19 11:37:56 EDT 1996), 3682 lines:
3072
* Correct buggy processing of nokeep/noflush/fetchall.
3073
* Fix buggy -mda option processing.
3074
* Added -N/--norewrite option.
3075
* Delivery via sendmail now works in non-daemon mode.
3076
3077
popclient-3.01 (Mon Jul 1 13:33:51 EDT 1996):
3078
* Fixed a lexical analyzer bug in quoted-string processing.
3079
* Fixed a bug in dump_options that caused username to be displayed incorrectly.
3080
* The lock assertion code was in the wrong place relative to the daemonize()
3081
call.
3082
3083
popclient-3.0 (Fri Jun 28 11:33:34 EDT 1996):
3084
3085
Eric S. Raymond <esr@thyrsus.com> hacked extensively on 3.0b6 and took over
3086
the package with the consent of Carl Harris, the original implementor.
3087
Some of the 3.0 feature additions were inspired by Sean Oh's fetchpop 1.8
3088
code, and a few use code directly lifted from fetchpop. Here are my (Eric's)
3089
change notes:
3090
3091
CONFIGURATION AND BUILDING
3092
3093
* The autoconfigure script incorrectly assumed that all Linuxes use
3094
/usr/bin/deliver. Under Linux it now checks for both /usr/bin/delivermail
3095
and /bin/mail.
3096
3097
* I added a distribution-maker production to Makefile.in.
3098
3099
OPTIONS AND COMMAND LINE
3100
3101
* I have removed the -p command-line option. Given that there's a run control
3102
facility there is no excuse for encouraging users to put plaintext passwords
3103
in scripts which might be readable.
3104
3105
* Calling popclient with no arguments now causes it to query or operate
3106
on every host in the run control file.
3107
3108
* I have made --version more useful by having it dump the computed
3109
connection options for each server specified.
3110
3111
* The user can now explicitly set an MDA (such as procmail) with the
3112
new option -m or -mda. Various possible MDAs are listed on the man page.
3113
3114
POPRC FILE SYNTAX
3115
3116
* The run control file lexer now supports "-enclosed strings which may
3117
contain whitespace.
3118
3119
* I added a --yydebug option to enable run control parser debugging at
3120
runtime if the parser was generated with --debug. It's not documented.
3121
3122
* You may now have a `defaults' entry in the run control file which sets
3123
overrideable values for other entries. See the man page for details.
3124
3125
* It is now possible to set keep, flush and fetchall in your run control
3126
file.
3127
3128
* Fixed incorrect numbering of source lines in run control file parse error
3129
messages.
3130
3131
* The configure.in specification no longer uses the obsolete AC_TRY_COMPILE
3132
macro (it uses AC_TRY_LINK instead).
3133
3134
MAILBOX LOCKING
3135
3136
* I have added mandatory locking of mailbox files where supported.
3137
This will cover Linux systems, in particular.
3138
3139
* The default behavior is now to do lock-protected append on the user's
3140
system mailbox rather than using delivermail or some other MDA.
3141
(This is a performance hack.)
3142
3143
* The autoconfigure script now looks for standard mail locations. The
3144
default mail delivery agent is used only if it can't find a mail spool
3145
directory in the standard places.
3146
3147
FUNCTIONAL ENHANCEMENTS
3148
3149
* When using POP3, message headers are edited so that replies won't foo up.
3150
Anything that looks like a mail ID local to the POP host gets @ and the
3151
pop servername attached to it before being appended to the user's
3152
mailbox or passed to an MDA.
3153
3154
* I have implemented daemon mode.
3155
3156
* I have added a lock check to ensure that there is only one popclient
3157
running per user, and a --quit option to kill the currently running
3158
one.

DOCUMENTATION
3161
3162
* All changes and feature additions have been tested in actual use and are
3163
documented on the man page.
3164
3165
* I have turned the comments in the sample run control file into a new manual
3166
section documenting the file format.

MISCELLANEOUS BUG FIXES
3169
3170
* I fixed some de-initialization bugs in pop2.c and pop3.c that led to
3171
fd leaks (these became painfully obvious when I tested daemon mode!).
3172
3173
* I've fixed the flaky parser error messages. They turned out to be due
3174
to a misdeclaration of yytext.

3200
3201
3.0b1
3202
This is mostly a test of the autoconfigure integration.
3203
Among the functions performed by the new configure script, is
3204
the ability to detect known system types, configures the mail
3205
delivery agent (MDA) correctly. This should permanently solve
3206
the problem of using something other than an MDA for mail
3207
delivery (which continues to plague Linux slackware 1.2.9).
3208
For this beta, please check the values of MDA_PATH and MDA_ARGS
3209
carefully. They should match the values found in your
3210
sendmail.cf file on the line which begins with "Mlocal".
3211
3212
Other changes from popclient version 2.21:
3213
3214
o no longer uses getpass() from the C library. The
3215
internal getpassword() function allows the use of long
3216
passwords.
3217
3218
o integrated GNU getopt() for long options. Long option
3219
names will appear in a future beta.
3220
3221
o Several compiler warnings fixed.
3222
3223
o Fixed problems related to missing include files in
3224
Solaris port.
