++ From the VOICE OS/2-eCS News Service   http://www.os2voice.org ++

From: Peter Moylan <peterDESPAM@DESPAMpmoylan.org>

The Weasel mail server has been updated to version 1.79. You can get it from
      http://www.pmoylan.org/pages/os2/weasel.html
or from
      ftp://ftp.pmoylan.org/Weasel/weasel179.zip
or from Hobbes.

Weasel is a shareware mail server. Registration is compulsory for if you 
want to host multiple mail domains, but optional for the single-domain case.

The purpose of the present release is to consolidate the many changes that 
have been made in beta releases over the last half-year or so. If you have 
been downloading the beta versions, then the present release doesn't 
contain much that is new. This is, however, a very substantial update over 
version 1.78, as can be seen from the following change list.

Note that the present release, like some of the beta releases, satisfies a 
long-standing request for supporting text-mode configuration files (TNI 
files) as a substitute for the native OS/2 INI file support, which runs out 
of memory in some cases. The native INI support, although superior in 
principle, will probably never be fixed unless IBM releases source code to 
Serenity or another backer.

LIST OF CHANGES     since version 1.78

Version 1.79          (13 July 2009)
   Fixed: screen "offline" message was not updated
      correctly when we were not logging to screen.
   The namelist passed to a filter now includes a
      line terminator (carriage return and line feed)
      at the end of the last name.
   POP3 processing modified to use less memory.
   Weasel now supports TNI mode.
   Setup now supports TNI mode.  The support for remote
      setup with a TNI file is also in place, but will
      not become effective until a new version of
      INIRemote is released.  (Remote setup still
      works for INI files, just not for TNI files.)
   Minor policy change for convenience: when you switch
      to or from multidomain mode, the Setup notebook
      automatically turns to the page that
      would let you reverse that change, if desired.
   Old versions of DumpINI and LoadINI included in the
      tools directory as OldDumpINI.exe and OldLoadINI.exe.
      The new versions are packaged as a GenINI zip file.
   New versions of LoadINI and DumpINI use a new
      format for the TNI file; in fact they are
      identical to the LoadINI and DumpINI that are
      now distributed in the GenINI release.
   Rexx files mloadini.cmd and mdumpini.cmd added to the
      tools directory, to provide conversion of the
      DOMAIN.INI (DOMAIN.TNI) files as well as
      conversion of WEASEL.INI (WEASEL.TNI).
   Extra log information for incoming SMTP.
   Reduced the amount of memory used for storing domain information.
   Fixed a memory leak in the module tracking domain info.
   Added log messages to check for related leaks.
   Fixed: in TNI mode, the file DOMAIN.TNI was not
      being created when a new domain was created.
   Cleaner transition to and from multidomain mode, to
      minimise potential confusion about the domain
      files and directories.
   Inactive users now marked with a '*' in Setup user page.
   Policy change: when looking up all alternative names
      belonging to a domain, we don't (except in the
      single-domain case) do reverse DNS lookup on
      numeric addresses.
   Policy announcement: the command-line argument 'X'
      will soon be phased out.
   Fixed a potential memory corruption during failed
      POP login attempt.
   Extra option on "Local" page for strict domain name
      checking, in the multidomain case only.
   Added an option to fetch the last 512
      messages on a POP fetch, instead of the first 512.
   Minor efficiency improvement in blacklist checking.
   The deprecated POP2 command LAST is no longer supported.
   Design changes to reduce the number of writes to the
       INI file.
   Extra checks for corruption of (UName,VName,NextName)
       entries in the INI file.
   LoadINI and DumpINI replaced by the current GenINI release.
   Fixed: crash on mail to nonexistent user.
   Now passes the session ID to filters via
       the namefile file name.
   Fixed: Setup was sometimes losing the name of the
       stage 4 filter.
   Syslog option may now log to another machine.
   Fixed: documentation error related to filter namefile.
   Added a colon after "Weasel" in syslog messages.
