RE: [clamsmtp-users] Test Releases: ClamSMTP and ProxSMTP

[Bill B. <Bil...@ph...>]

Nate,

First of all, thank you very much for taking the time to create, debug & re=
lease both proxsmtp & clamsmtp.  It has helped us save a lot of money and h=
elped us add virus & spam filtering to our email system, it is greatly appr=
eciated!

On to the problem...I compiled proxsmtp-1.2.1.94 which installed fine and i=
s working properly, but am having problems with clamsmtp-1.5.91.

I did the usual configure, make & make install to /usr/local/sbin/.  When I=
 try to start clamsmtpd as root, it is not able to bind to port 25(output b=
elow).  I just switched back to clamsmtp 1.5 and things are working properl=
y again.  I am using Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES 3 with the latest updates.=
 Please let me know if you need anymore information to get to the root of t=
he problem

Subject: [clamsmtp-users] Test Releases: ClamSMTP and ProxSMTP

Here are test releases for ClamSMTP which fix the problems some of you have=
 been having, or changes you've been requesting:

- Fix the problem when droping priveleges and becoming a daemon
  on some FreeBSD installations.
- Null characters in emails.
- ProxSMTP synced up with changes in ClamSMTP.
- Handle empty addresses properly in logs.

In order for this to be released the following people need to test these re=
leases changes on a production system. Anyone else testing these changes is=
 of course super appreciated as well.

  Paolo Matos <pj...@fc...>
  Jack Raats <ja...@ra...>
  Casper <kl...@os...>
  Piotr Klaban <po...@kl...>
  Greg Hackney <ha...@sw...>
  Laurent Papier <pa...@tu...>

I won't do a release until everyone signs signs off that the changes are st=
able (stable for a few days, not just "working") on their systems.

I'm running these changes on a production system and they work for me.
But I don't use any of these requested changes.

Cheers,
Nate
