Hi,

today I have released version 0.1.6.1 of AMaViS-ng. It can be
downloaded from
<http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=6006>. 
Tarballs, .debs and all the necessary files for building on Debian
(stable and unstable) are available there. Debian packages should also
appear in the "unstable" archive, soon.

Notes:
AMaViS-ng is a rewrite of amavis-perl/amavisd.

What is different from amavisd/amavis-perl
------------------------------------------
* No build-time configuration. All configuration is done at run-rime
  via a INI-style configuration file.

* The parts of AMaViS-ng are built as Perl modules with well-defined
  interfaces. This will hopefully make it easier to extend it.

* Module for running AMaViS as an SMTP gateway. This should make it
  possible to integrate it into virtually every MTA setup. The idea
  for this comes from Rainer Link's experimental amavisd-smtp.

* External programs are only used where absolutely necessary,
  resulting in a lower load.

* A setup for Exim with embedded Perl is supported. In this case,
  AMaViS runs inside the Exim process.

* Resource limits on the size and number of unpacked files can be
  configured to prevent mailbombs from hosing the mail server.

* Integration into Courier-MTA is supported.


Changes:
* Support for Courier-MTA

* Support for CLAM Antivirus daemon (GPL'd scanner)

* Support for F-Prot daemon ("enterprise") version

* Support for INOC

* Support for NOD32 daemon

* Support for RAV

* Support for Trophie daemon

* Support for drWeb

* Documentation now shipped in Texinfo format.
