Release Date: November 28th, 2005
PureMessage 5.1 consists of the following new features
and bug fixes.
New Features (5.1.1)
- True File Type Detection
- Policy attachment tests (pmx_attachment_name,
pmx_attachment_type, and pmx_suspect_attachment)
now have a ':tft' option for determining the true file type of an attachment. The file itself
is inspected rather than trusting the filename extension or MIME type in the
Content-Disposition and Content-Type headers. (Extended Policy Module)
- Add Banner to Top of Message Body
- The pmx_add_banner policy test now has the ability add a banner to the
top of a message body using the ':top' option. (Extended Policy Module)
- %%ATTACHMENT_NAMES%% Template Variable
- A new template variable for attachment names can be used in notifications or banners.
- Rename Attachment
- A new policy action, pmx_rename_attachment, can be used to rename
attachments using the %%ATTACHMENT_NAME%% template variable. (Extended Policy Module)
- Multi-Byte Character Sets in Banners
- The pmx_add_banner policy test now supports adding banners in Asian
language character sets.
- New Anti-Spam Engine
- Includes a new feature for detecting phone numbers or instant messaging IDs contained in
spam messages, as well as other improvements.
- pg_autovacuum
- The pg_autovacuum daemon (run by PostgreSQL) replaces the
vacuum_db scheduled job. This daemon optimizes the PostgreSQL database
every 5 minutes.
- TLS Support
- Transport Layer Security (TLS) support has been added to PureMessage-Sendmail and PureMessage-Postfix.
- Additional OS Version Support
- FreeBSD 5.3 and 5.4, and Debian 3.1 are now supported.
Bug Fixes (5.1.1)
- Milters no longer load blocklist data if pmx_blocklist is not used in
the policy. (#42240)
- A fix for a problem causing excessive memory usage by pmx-milter
processes when loading blocklist data. Memory used for blocklist data is now shared between all
milter processes. (#42234)
- Reporting now distinguishes between servers with the same hostname. When viewing reports on
specific servers the fully-qualified hostname is displayed instead of only the hostname.
(#40505)
- An increase in the frequency of anti-virus update checks (every 5 minutes).
- Sendmail configurations with MAIL_HUB enabled now correctly obeys requests from
pmx-milter to delete recipients. (#40442)
- A problem with missing data in the Top Releasers and Number of Releases reports in Central
Server Manager deployments has been fixed. (#41163)
- Messages exceeding certain size and header count limits no longer cause MESSAGE EXCEPTION
failures in pmx-milter. These messages are now quarantined rather than
being tempfailed. (#41516)
- The known issue with the oshealth_on_fours and
oshealth_on_nines scheduled jobs leaving orphaned processes has been
fixed. (#40922)
- Various other fixes and improvements.
