AMaViS - A Mail Virus Scanner

File Release Notes and Changelog

Release Name: amavis-0.3.12

Notes:
This is amavis-0.3.12, the direct successor to amavis-perl-11.

The shell script version of amavis (0.2.x series) is
discontinued.

There are many significant changes and improvements over
amavis-perl-11. Please check the ChangeLog for a probably
incomplete list. Support for over a dozen new anti-virus scanners
was added, and there were important changes in qmail and
milter support.


Changes:
* MAJOR: merged perl branch into MAIN branch; this is now the main version
  of amavis
* INCOMPATIBLE: the default user id amavis runs as with postfix was changed
  from vscan to amavis, to be consistent with the other MTA configurations
* remove --enable-smtp configure option; only the content-filter interface
  is now supported with postfix
* bugfix for postfix smtp code (potential mail loss on misconfigured systems)
  and other major improvements
* works with qmail again
* COMPATIBILITY: the sendmail/milter communication socket is now called
  /var/amavis/amavis-milter.sock for compatibility with amavisd
* fix long-standing bug in amavis-milter (missing 3rd arg to clearpriv)
* new -x option for amavis-milter to control adding of x-header at run time
* remove --with-sendmail-source configure option, and replace with
  --with-milter-includes, --with-milter-libs

* workaround for Archive-Tar bug
