[Maia-announce] Announcing Maia Mailguard 1.0.1

[Robert LeBlanc]

Version 1.0.1 of Maia Mailguard has been released, and is available for
download at <http://www.maiamailguard.com/download.php>.

This version addresses some bugs reported since the 1.0.0 release, as
well as some feature requests--a total of 43 items:

Some of the more significant improvements:

* Improvements to many of the maintenance scripts, which now use a
central /etc/maia.conf file for their configuration.  The
process-quarantine, expire-quarantine, and load-sa-rules scripts now
accept more command-line options and settings via the /etc/maia.conf
file, and offer more detailed debugging information.

* Improvements in memory-management, particularly where oversized mail
items are concerned.  Amavisd-maia and process-quarantine should now
handle large items somewhat more gracefully.

* Amavisd-maia is now based on amavisd-new 2.2.1, a relatively small
upgrade in that regard, but significant in that it should now support
users of Mac OSX.

* Support for SpamAssassin 3.1.1 is now complete, and load-sa-rules is
now aware of the new sa-update mechanism for automatically updating the
SpamAssassin core rules.  This is not a replacement for RulesDuJour
(which updates third-party rules), but a complement--with sa-update you
can now update your "official" SpamAssassin rules without having to wait
for the next SpamAssassin release.

* Better support for PHP5, including support for the new "mysqli" driver
for MySQL, and the new PEAR package format.  A patch for PEAR::Net_IMAP
is also available to get it working with PHP5.

* Fixes for incompatibilities with newer versions of key Perl modules,
including Crypt::CBC and Net::Server.

* Updated configtest.pl script with new recommended minimum version
numbers for a large number of Perl modules, based on current security
vulnerability reports.

In short, this is a collection of small but significant improvements
that should solidify the 1.0.x line.  Enjoy!
