Hi everybody, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
The time is near now, I've basically completed all work on the main |
| 4 |
qmail ebuild. So, it's time for a lot of testing now. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
A lot of improvements have been made to qmail between the -r10 and -r12 |
| 7 |
releases. |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
partial change list: |
| 10 |
QMTP client support |
| 11 |
ESMTP SIZE support |
| 12 |
Properly FIXED STARTTLS/SSL support (there was a bug before that caused |
| 13 |
mail to be delayed for upwards of 6 hours before a fallback to non-SSL) |
| 14 |
SMTP AUTH (both for incoming email and outgoing emails) |
| 15 |
badrcptto/morebadrcptto support |
| 16 |
POP3 CAPA command support |
| 17 |
Maildir++ support |
| 18 |
Localtime dates |
| 19 |
A bunch of patches to reduce spammer tactics that abused qmail. |
| 20 |
Lots more documentation and manpages. |
| 21 |
A good many other changes. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Configuration of all the new changes is now made possible by the |
| 24 |
/var/qmail/control/conf-* files. |
| 25 |
Following the few instructions in them and uncommenting relevant lines |
| 26 |
allow you to easily setup many requested qmail features, such as SMTP |
| 27 |
AUTH for incoming mail, SMTP after IMAP/POP3. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
After you emerge the update, please pay attension to the messages, and |
| 30 |
close attension to etc-update. defaultdelivery has changed, and if you |
| 31 |
used .forward files previously without a .qmail file for each user that |
| 32 |
had them, mail delivery may act differently. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
If you used SMTP AUTH previously, please pay attension as well, as it |
| 35 |
now acts somewhat differently. The outgoing portion of the SMTP AUTH may |
| 36 |
change further still (see smtproutes for it currently). |
