- Description:
- MailScanner is a complete e-mail security system designed for use on
e-mail gateways. It protects against viruses, and detects attacks against
e-mail client packages (such as Outlook, Outlook Express, Eudora). It can
also detect almost all unsolicited commercial e-mail (spam) passing through
it and respond to all incidents in a wide variety of ways.
Not only can it scan for known viruses, but it can also protect against unknown
viruses hidden inside e-mail attachments by refusing entry to attachments whose
filenames match any given pattern. This can include generic patterns that trap
filenames attempting to hide the true filename extension (e.g. ".txt.vbs").
It is superior to many commercial packages in its ability to handle attacks
against itself, such as Denial Of Service attacks caused by messages containing
the "Zip of Death". It is easy to install into an existing e-mail gateway,
requiring very little knowledge of sendmail and no change to an existing
sendmail configuration.
MailScanner itself is entirely open source, but it uses widely known commercial
virus scanning packages at its core. The other software it uses is all high
quality open source software, leading to a system that can be trusted for
performance and reliability.

Fix a few "bad example" problems in the rc.d scripts that have been
propogated by copy and paste.
1. Primarily the "empty variable" default assignment, which is mostly
${name}_flags="", but fix a few others as well.
2. Where they are not already documented, add the existence of the _flags
(or other deleted empties) option to the comments, and in some cases add
comments from scratch.
3. Replace things that look like:
prefix=%%PREFIX%%
command=${prefix}/sbin/foo
to just use %%PREFIX%%. In many cases the $prefix variable is only used
once, and in some cases it is not used at all.
4. In a few cases remove ${name}_flags from command_args
5. Remove a long-stale comment about putting the port's rc.d script in
/etc/rc.d (which is no longer necessary).
No PORTREVISION bumps because all of these changes are noops. |

- Update to 4.45.1
* New Features and Improvements *
- Added MCP patches for SpamAssassin 3.0.4.
- Added extra output about nodeps switch with install.sh for RPM.
- Added "no bytes" lines to cancel out "use bytes" as it causes problems
with multi-lingual subject lines.
- Improved phishing net so that when you have multiple MailScanner servers
all handling your incoming mail, links caught by the first one won't also
be caught by the following ones. This caused the final message to contain
multiple warnings about the same link. There is now just 1 warning.
- New "Quarantine Modified Body" setting, default is "no". This will cause
all modified messages to be quarantined, including messages which have
had their HTML disarmed.
* Fixes *
- Corrected bayes_file_mode in spam.assassin.prefs.conf on advice from
Matt Kettler.
- 'MailScanner -v' now prints out the version number of Convert::TNEF.
- Group memberships problem on BSD fixed. Spam quarantine membership
should now always be correct on BSD systems.

[MAINTAINER] mail/MailScanner-devel: update to 4.37.3
- Update to 4.37.3
Change Log:
* New Features and Improvements *
- When stripping HTML messages to plain text, the contents of script and
style tags are omitted.
- Phishing net improved to ignore email addresses.
- Now supports split sendmail queues where any incoming mqueue.in directory
can have qf, df, xf, tf subdirectories, each containing the appropriate
type of file for each message. This will greatly speed operation on big
queues as the directories will be less than half the size of a combined
queue directory.
- New option "Keep Spam And MCP Archive Clean" which forces it to virus scan (Only the first 15 lines of the commit message are shown above ) |
