ASK V2.2 (Final) released

Ladies and Gentlemen

ASK V2.2 has been released. This version contains a huge number of features
and bugfixes since V2.0.2. Upgrading is recommended. As usual, please
make sure you read the upgrade instructions on the documentation before
installation.

Changes since V2.0.2:

---------
ChangeLog
---------

V2.2

- Lists now match using either substrings or regular expressions (previously,
  only regular expressions were allowed). Now, "cow" will match "[email protected]".
  Note that something like "from [email protected]" will also match "[email protected]".
  If you want to match only "[email protected]" use "from ^[email protected]$"

- Blacklist template is now available in French.

V2.1.beta2

- ASK PROCESS QUEUE will now return a message indicating that the queue
  is empty, it that's the case.

- Some improvements in the sample .askrc file

- Web Page moved out of the main CVS tree

- Blacklisted people were receiving a message with the confirmation template.
  Fixed.

- List of email in rc_mymails are now handled in a case insensitive manner.

- Fixed a typo in the english template.

V2.1.beta1

- Fixed a bug that would cause loss of emails if two mails arrived exactly
  at the same time (Maildir users only).

- Dutch translation added thanks to Jeffrey Voorhaar.

- MD5 key was not being used correctly. Fixed.

- Confirmation messages now have "Precedence: bulk" and "In-Reply-To"

- ASK will now limit the number of confirmation messages it sends to the same
  address during a certain period of time.

- Added support for remote queue processing, both in text and
  html mode (check samples/ask_samplerc for example config 
  parameters that affect this new feature)

- rc_junkmailbox (and rc_bulkmailbox) are now optional. Not setting
  those variables will cause messages originally going to those
  mailboxes to be discarded.

- New variable: --rc_bulkmailbox. Anything coming from a mailing
  list (or Precedence: bulk) that is not whitelisted will be
  sent here instead of junked.

- Added --home command line option (backported from 2.0.2)

- Fixed some problems in setup.py and asksetup.py (thanks to
  Wolfgang Ocker for the patches)

- New configuration directive in (.askrc): rc_max_attach_lines.
  This controls how many lines ASK will send back in the message
  attached to the confirmation (Thanks to Wolfgang Ocker for the
  patches)

- Messages matched in the ignorelist and blacklist are thrown to
  the void, not junked.

- Fixed a small detail in the .forward configuration documentation.

- Added Joe Vaughan's Alternative (global) Exim installation
  instructions.

- New configuration parameter: rc_whitelist_on_mailkey. When this
  is set to "true", ASK will automatically add the sender to the
  whitelist upon reception of a message with our mailkey.

- Fixed a bug in the procmail documentation.

- PID added to the log output (makes it easier to trace different
  processes writing to the file at the same time)

- Local mails (without "@" sign) will not be dumped to Junk

- Documentation moved to DocBook

- Our key in the confirmation message will not automatically let messages
  pass thru.

- Only selected languages will be sent in the confirmation/nastygram.

Have a nice day and good Spam Killing.

Regards,
Paga
