Subject:  [MailStripper-Announce] MailStripper 1.1.4 released!
Date:  Sat, 14 Feb 2004 20:40:49 +0000 (GMT)

Changes since 1.1.3:

# Fix bug relaying messages to downstream MTA - only affected some MTAs. [1]
# New mechanism for blocking completely empty "probe" messages.
# Core is now 8-bit clean. [2]
# Fixed licensing bug with some command-line options of mstripconf.
# Force empty messages to be handled as spam.
# X-MailStripper headers removed altogether - the MailStripper ID is
  and score or virus tag is added to a "Received: by MailStripper-deliver"
  header. [3]
# MailStripper-ID now only added to log file if the sender is going to send
  some message data.


MailStripper 1.1.4 is available for download from our website at                
    http://www.eridani.co.uk/MailStripper/                                      

Technical footnote follows:
[1] Most MTAs don't mind whether MAIL FROM and RCPT TO have < > surrounding
    the email address. But a few are very picky about this.
[2] This will help where MailStripper is handling foreign language messages
    using non-ASCII character sets. This has been observed, even though
    SMTP is specified as a 7-bit interface.
[3] This is an effect of an 8-bit clean handler which doesn't garble the
    subject line. This new Received: line contains the envelope sender,
    the internal Message-ID, and either the score or the antivirus warning.
