Fedora Update Notification
FEDORA-2017-15ad4721e3
2017-09-12 20:12:31.687237
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name        : mimedefang
Product     : Fedora 25
Version     : 2.81
Release     : 1.fc25
URL         : https://mimedefang.org/

Summary     : E-Mail filtering framework using Sendmail's Milter interface
Description :
MIMEDefang is an e-mail filter program which works with Sendmail 8.12
and later. It filters all e-mail messages sent via SMTP. MIMEDefang
splits multi-part MIME messages into their components and potentially
deletes or modifies the various parts. It then reassembles the parts
back into an e-mail message and sends it on its way.

There are some caveats you should be aware of before using MIMEDefang.
MIMEDefang potentially alters e-mail messages. This breaks a "gentleman's
agreement" that mail transfer agents do not modify message bodies. This
could cause problems, for example, with encrypted or signed messages.

Update Information:

MIMEDefang 2.81 ===============    * Don't barf if the installed version of
Sys::Syslog has a developer tag added (like 0.33_01 on Debian Stretch).   * Make
mimedefang and mimedefang-multiplexor write their PID files as root to avoid an
unprivileged user tampering with the pidfiles. Thanks to Michael Orlitzky for
pointing this issue out.
