Hello,
The GNU Mailutils team is pleased to announce release of GNU Mailutils 0.6.
The release is available by anonymous FTP from
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/mailutils/
and from mirrors worldwide -- see <http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html>.
The md5 checksums of the files are:
13e38442893a24f16798e4b5f634ba7d mailutils-0.6.tar.bz2

GNU Mailutils is a collection of utilities for handling electronic mail.
It contains a series of useful mail clients and servers built around
the single core library.
Specifically, the package contains a pop3, an imap4 server, a sieve
mail filter, and a movemail program. It also provides a POSIX `mailx'
client, `movemail' - a program for interfacing with GNU Emacs, and
a collection of other tools. All programs are capable of reading and
storing mail in a variety of formats.
More information about the package is available from the following
locations:
http://www.gnu.org/directory/mailutils.html
http://www.gnu.org/software/mailutils
Please email bugs or suggestions to <address@hidden>.
Following is the list of user-visible changes in this release.
* New features:
** Both imap4d and pop3d accept new command line option `--tls-required'.
The option disables any authentication commands until the client party
establishes TLS connection with the server.
** Pop3d server accepts new option `--delete-expired'.
This option is to be used together with `--expire'. It enables
automatic deletion of expired messages before closing the
mailbox. Previous versions of pop3d relied on a cron job that
was supposed to purge users' mailboxes, but such usage is extremely
ineffective for mail servers with considerable number of users.
** The package can be compiled with support for both MySQL and PostgreSQL
simultaneously. Which of the interfaces to use is defined at run time
by --sql-interface option.
** Mail.local is able to retrieve mailbox quotas from SQL database.
* movemail: Special mode for improved interface with Emacs (--emacs option)
* Support for GNU SASL version 0.2.3.
* Bug fixes
Regards,
Sergey
