If a user was looking for foo.bar.net and coult not find it because it was hidden, the system can optionally look for the subnets (i.e. see if there is a mail server called bar.net with a MX record) Shareware --------- - added memory suballocation to reduce the needs of the system - added the ability to send to other hosts other than the smarthost - added use of mx records to access remote mail servers - added the ability to see how many messages are pending for each node - added the ability to specify the way to connect up with other hosts, and a useful dialog to help organize and keep track of those elements. - added the IP address into the received line to make sure that a postmaster can trace back for illegal hosts - added the ability to specify an IP number as the host in the incoming or outgoing address fields - enhanced buffering of the reception of the message (8K buffer) - enhanced displaying of default data in the system dialog - enhanced outgoing process to qualify names before sending - automatically position and highlight the first text field in the users dialog - automatically seed the mailbox field of the users dialog when a user record is selected - fixed users dialog so that the hot keys don't collide - fixed problem with not recognizing multiple arguments for the POP3 server as in 'TOP 1 4' - fixed problem with accessing mailboxes through aliases using POP3 - fixed problem where bounced messages were not including the bulk of the message do to a backwards assignment - fixed helo handshake for systems that do not return the host name on the response line after the helo message - fixed helo handshake so that we can talk to a system running ESMTP without waiting forever - fixed so that if the destination for an item is already on the retry list, it won't try and send it. - fixed small bug in the MX code that deleted an old connection and then reused the connection before the connection could be severed. The network subsystem thought the connection was closing and had problems with the new connection. - fixed outgoing mail process so that if a node is marked as inactive, any new items are not tried once before being sent to the retry queue - fixed the reporting of the connection phase to report the IP number of the connection and the IP number that the name registered to the connection is froml. - fixed problem with the router where the offset into the message envelope was not having the buffer allocated at 2n, but at n instead. This only caused a problem when the base memory limit was exceeded. - fixed initial window state so that if it is to be shown as minimized, it overrides any other settings. Release 1.02 ------------ General - added interface dialogs so that the users and the options are configurable within the daemon. Limitation is that the program must be started for the options to take effect - added lots of error messages throughout the code so that the user can better tell the reason why the daemon was unable to start. - added status information display in the main window - added code to ensure that Subject, To, From, and Date are included in every message header - added about box - added the encryption of passwords - added code to make sure that there are 'root' and 'postmaster' users whenever started up - added the 'HELP' command for interactive use - improved interface with the socket interface so that the network code yields properly, allowing another to run more effectively. Otherwise it would get stuck in a loop while writing data and waiting for the other application to read the data, but never having the chance to. - improved the retrying of files and the expiration and bouncing of those files - improved the look of the message that allows us to bounce messages to a user - made sure that aliases can only be applied towards the local machine - as there is now meaningful information in the main window, the size of the window as well as the iconic state of the window is preserved POP3 - fixed off by one error in the mailbox allocation table - fixed error with over writing the file buffers on reads and not reading in the proper amount of data on the reads through the buffer when the individual message was greater than 8K. - fixed problem with the header buffer being too small Smtp - added ability to validate the host name specified when the connection is initiated by the remote side - added option so that a forwarded message will be thought of as being sent okay (needed for old version of WinVN) - added an option (System | Retries) to allow a user to look and find out what the current retries being done by the system are - fixed problem with smtp and router that would cause one file of two that were possibly open to close the other one when it closed - fixed problem with connection attempts that would start and close before they would have a chance to complete WRmail - fixed default logfile to 'rmaillog.txt' instead of 'maillog.txt' due to conflicts with WinSmtp's logfile Release 1.01 ------------ - added POP3 server support in daemon - added automatic determination of the node name and the IP number - added support for the matching of literal names i.e.[a.b.c.d] - added proper check after 1 minute to see if connection with host couldn't be established - added flexible support for the EXPN and VRFY commands - added the -s and -f options to the command line for wrmail - improved bounces from the daemon so that the envelope is omitted in the copied message. - improved the bouncing of messages to the originating user and to the root. - improved recognition of ", (, ), <, and > in messages, especially with embedded commas - fixed code so if mailbox is locked, item is queued to be accessed again at a later date (needed for POP3 support) - fixed bug where whitespace in the line after the end of a message header would not be compressed from CR LF WS* CR LF to CR LF CR LF. - fixed retries so that they retry and expire properly - fixed logfile sharing when it is opened for the first time. - fixed the retry alogrithm so that if the daemon has problems with getting in touch with a specific node for a specific message, no more messages are sent to the node until the first one clears. - fixed a UAE that occured when a message that was being retried finally succeeded. - fixed problem where the reception of messags would not work on some systems - fixed problem that arose when the client smtp sent the quit command and immediately closed - fixed code so that when outgoing messages are processed, the names in the header are validated, but not in the incoming or bounced messages Release 1.00 ------------ Initial release.
