[fetchmail-devel] New template for 'fetchmail' made available

[Translation P. R. <ro...@tr...>]

Hello, gentle maintainer.

This is a message from the Translation Project robot.  (If you have
any questions, send them to <coo...@tr...>.)

A new POT file for textual domain 'fetchmail' has been made available
to the language teams for translation.  It is archived as:

    http://translationproject.org/POT-files/fetchmail-6.3.19-pre1.pot

Whenever you have a new distribution with a new version number ready,
containing a newer POT file, please send the URL of that distribution
tarball to the address below.  The tarball may be just a pretest or a
snapshot, it does not even have to compile.  It is just used by the
translators when they need some extra translation context.

Below is the URL which has been provided to the translators of your
package.  Please inform the translation coordinator, at the address
at the bottom, if this information is not current:

    http://www.dt.e-technik.tu-dortmund.de/~ma/fetchmail/fetchmail-6.3.19-pre1.tar.bz2

We can arrange things so that translated PO files are automatically e-mailed
to you when they arrive.  Ask at the address below if you want this.

Thank you for all your work,

                                The Translation Project robot, in the
                                name of your translation coordinator.

[fetchmail-devel] [Bug #17295] Fetchmail provides insufficient log information

[<ad...@be...>]

Bug #17295, was updated on 2010-Jun-27 01:42
Here is a current snapshot of the bug.

Status: Open

Summary: Fetchmail provides insufficient log information

Details: Hello,

First of all, I wish to thank you all for sharing with us this very useful software.

I'm running fetchmail 6.3.17+GSS+NTLM+SDPS+SSL+NLS+KRB5 in daemon mode to check a bunch of accounts.
The log goes to syslog. Everything works fine but the log files are too inaccurate IMHO. Every line should ALWAYS include the name of the interested account.

Example. Now I have:
Jun 27 01:33:32 localhost fetchmail[18328]: Attenzione: si continua malgrado la connessione non sia sicura (si raccomanda l'utilizzo di --sslcertck)
Jun 27 01:33:43 localhost fetchmail[18328]: Errore di verifica del certificato del server: self signed certificate
Jun 27 01:33:43 localhost fetchmail[18328]: Questo significa che la radice che firma il certificato (emesso per /C=US/ST=Unknown/L=Unknown/O=Unknown/OU=Unknown/CN=dime148.dizinc.com/emailAddress=ss...@di...) non è nella posizione dei certificati CA fidati o che c_rehash deve essere eseguito sulla directory del certificato. Per maggiori dettagli consultare le pagine man a proposito di --sslcertpath e di --sslcertfile.

This is not su useful, because I can't easily establish which account is triggering this error. I was expection instead:
Jun 27 01:33:32 localhost fetchmail[18328]: USERNAME@SERVERNAME: Attenzione: si continua malgrado la connessione non sia sicura (si raccomanda l'utilizzo di --sslcertck)
Jun 27 01:33:43 localhost fetchmail[18328]: USERNAME@SERVERNAME: Errore di verifica del certificato del server: self signed certificate

Summary: antispam does not work

Details: The --antispam option does not work (anymore?). I guess, it must have been disfunctional since 2002-sep-04, when a patch from Sunil Shetye ("double-bounce patch") was applied. (Git commit efe3c6cc82e214142809c77c4f2fa8a58bdef787)

The code that was added in sink.c has this piece

   if (str_find(&ctl->antispam, smtperr))

And the problem is that the function returns a NULL pointer even if it finds the requested value.

Notice that there is another location in sink.c which searches the ctl->antispam list using a while loop.

Hi Kees,

thanks for the report.  I have pushed Sunil's patch to the Git repository.  Could you please let us know if that fixes your problem?

Re: [fetchmail-devel] [fetchmail-users] Latest change to configure.ac makes autogen.sh bail out on MacOS 10.5.8

[Matthias A. <mat...@gm...>]

I wrote, in response to Christian's bug report:

Note that to build from Git since this change, if you have built 
previously, you need to:

# in the source directory
autopoint --force

# in the build directory (can be the same as the source,
# but I personally prefer a separate one):
rm -f config.cache
./config.status --recheck
./config.status
make clean

and only then build, else you get bogus libintl.h failures on some 
systems that go away with the procedure shown above.

HTH

Dear Kees Bakker,

Thanks for your comments. I think you will have to subscribe to the
fetchmail-devel list before replying to the list.

Quoting from Kees Bakker's mail on Wed, Oct 13, 2010:

This could be because fetchmail prefers options added to the rcfile in
order to keep the command line clean. Due to this, fetchmail's option
processing may have been neglected.

Thanks for testing.

Re: [fetchmail-devel] [Bug #17599] antispam does not work

[Sunil S. <sh...@bo...>]

This appears to be similar to the recent --nosoftbounce and --nobounce
issue where options are not handled exactly the same way as the rcfile
parser. Is there a way to push the options also to the parser so that
options.c as well as these mismatches can be eliminated?

It looks like one str_find() was replaced by the loop after my patch
while the other was left alone. Let me try restoring the str_find()
first!!!

Please try this patch and report:

The 6.3.18 release of fetchmail is now available at the usual locations,
including <http://developer.berlios.de/projects/fetchmail>.

It should fix the nasty authentication errors between fetchmail and
Kerberized (GSSAPI) servers, and more issues - detailed below.

The source archive is available at:
<http://prdownload.berlios.de/fetchmail/fetchmail-6.3.18.tar.bz2>

Here are the release notes:

fetchmail-6.3.18 (released 2010-10-09, 25936 LoC):

# SECURITY IMPROVEMENTS TO DEFANG X.509 CERTIFICATE ABUSE
* Fetchmail now only accepts wildcard certificate common names and subject
  alternative names if they start with "*.". Previous versions would accept
  wildcards even if no period followed immediately.
* Fetchmail now disallows wildcards in certificates to match domain literals
  (such as 10.9.8.7), or wildcards in domain literals ("*.168.23.23").
  The test is overly picky and triggers if the pattern (after skipping the
  initial wildcard "*") or domain consists solely of digits and dots, and thus
  matches more than needed.
* Fetchmail now disallows wildcarding top-level domains.

# CRITICAL BUG FIXES AND REGRESSION FIXES
* Fetchmail 6.3.15, 6.3.16, and 6.3.17 would pick up libmd5 to obtain MD5*
  functions, as an effect of an undocumented Solaris MD5 fix.
  This caused all MD5-related functions to malfunction if, for instance,
  libmd5.so was installed on other operating systems as part of libwww on
  machines where long isn't 32-bits, i. e. usually on 64-bit computers.
  Fixes Gentoo Bug #319283, reported, including libwww hint, by Karl Hakimian.
  Side effect: fetchmail will now use -lmd on Solaris rather than -lmd5.
* Fetchmail 6.3.17 warned about insecure SSL/TLS connections even if a matching
  --sslfingerprint was specified. This is an omission from an SSL usability
  change made in 6.3.17.
  Fixes Debian Bug#580796 reported by Roland Stigge.
* Fetchmail will now apply timeouts to the authentication stage.
  This stage encompasses STARTTLS/STLS negotiation in IMAP/POP3.
  Reported missing by Thomas Jarosch.
* Fetchmail now cancels GSSAPI authentication properly when encountering GSS
  errors, such as no or unsuitable credentials.
  It now sends an asterisk on a line by its own, as required in SASL.
    This fixes protocol synchronization issues that cause Authentication
  failures, often observed with kerberized MS Exchange servers.
  Fixes Debian Bug #568455 reported by Patrick Rynhart, and Alan Murrell, to the
  fetchmail-users list. Fix verified by Thomas Voigtmann.

# BUG FIXES
* Fetchmail will no longer print connection attempts and errors for one host
  in "silent" and "normal" logging modes, unless all connections fail. This
  should reduce irritation around refused-connection logging if services are
  only on an IPv4 socket if the host also supports IPv6. Often observed as
  connections refused to ::1/25 when the subsequent connection to 127.0.0.1/25
  then - silently - succeeds.  Fetchmail, unless in verbose mode, will collect
  all connect errors and only report them if all of them fail.
* Fetchmail will not try GSSAPI authentication automatically, unless it has GSS
  credentials. However, if GSSAPI authentication is requested explicitly,
  fetchmail will always try it.
* Fetchmail now parses response to "FETCH n:m RFC822.SIZE" and "FETCH n
  RFC822.HEADER" in a more flexible manner. (Sunil Shetye)
* The manual page clearly states that --principal is for Kerberos 4 only, not
  for Kerberos 5 or GSSAPI. Found by Thomas Voigtmann.

# CHANGES
* When encountering incorrect headers, fetchmail will refer to the bad-header
  option in the manpage.
  Fixes BerliOS Bug #17272, change suggested by Björn Voigt.
* Fetchmail now decodes and reports GSSAPI status codes upon errors.
* Fetchmail now autoprobes NTLM also for POP3.
* The Fetchmail FAQ has a new item #R15 on authentication failures.

# INTERNAL CHANGES
* The common NTLM authentication code was factored out from pop3.c and imap.c.

# TRANSLATION UPDATES
  [zh_CN] Chinese/simplified (Ji Zheng-Yu)
  [cs]    Czech (Petr Pisar)
  [nl]    Dutch (Erwin Poeze)
  [fr]    French (Frédéric Marchal)

  [it]    Italian (Vincenzo Campanella)
  [ja]    Japanese (Takeshi Hamasaki)
  [pl]    Polish (Jakub Bogusz)
  [sk]    Slovak (Marcel Telka)

# KNOWN BUGS AND WORKAROUNDS:
  (this section floats upwards through the NEWS file so it stays with the
  current release information - however, it was stuck with 6.3.8 for a while)
* fetchmail does not handle messages without Message-ID header well
  (See sourceforge.net bug #780933)
* BSMTP is mostly untested and errors can cause corrupt output.
* Sun Workshop 6 (SPARC) is known to miscompile the configuration file lexer in
  64-bit mode.  Either compile 32-bit code or use GCC to compile 64-bit
  fetchmail.  Note that fetchmail doesn't take advantage of 64-bit code,
  so compiling 32-bit SPARC code should not cause any difficulties.
* fetchmail does not track pending deletes over crashes.
* the command line interface is sometimes a bit stubborn, for instance,
  fetchmail -s doesn't work with a daemon running.
* Linux systems may return duplicates of an IP address in some circumstances if
  no or no global IPv6 addresses are configured.
  (No workaround. Ubuntu Bug#582585, Novell Bug#606980.)
* Kerberos 5 may be broken, particularly on Heimdal, and provide bogus error
  messages. This will not be fixed, because the maintainer has no Kerberos 5
  server to test against. Use GSSAPI.
