- ServiceMail 2.0 has the following improvements over version 1.2:
-
- o new documentation in doc directory, including a mesh man page
-
- o finally made ServiceMail MIME-compliant by including a MIME-version
- header line in outgoing messages
-
- o the mesh program accepts a "-s service" argument, which overrides the
- extraction of the service from the subject line. This is especially
- useful if you are invoking mesh from a mail alias and wish to direct
- messages to a particular service.
-
- o fixed a bug with adding an extra newline to extracted body parts
-
- o several new fields are extracted from incoming messages: X-Splitsize,
- Apparently-to, To, Date
-
- o jobs can now be queueud for later processing rather
- than having sendmail exec mesh immediately.
-
- o transaction logging is now available.
-
- o configuration and building have been completely rewritten.
-
- o several new fields are supported for outgoing envelopes: DATE, MESSAGEID,
- FROM create message header lines; SPLITSIZE creates an X-Splitsize header
- line and passes its value to the outgoing mailer (e.g., splitmail)
-
- o outgoing body parts can have a new field ENCODING to override the
- content-transfer-encoding
-
- o mesh now checks MESHINIT and MESHCONFIG variables for the builtins
- and service-table files, respectively
-
- o several bug fixes were applied to the finger, get (archive-request),
- and listserv services, primarily to make them more robust. Third-party
- rewrites of get, listserv, and retrieve are included
-
- o there's a pattern-matching scheme that determines the desired service
- based on header and body contents, instead of always by the Subject line
