18. ezmlm-idx-0.20, 19971030

  • Requests to ezmlm-moderate to accept/reject already processed messages returns an error ONLY if the requested action is different from the actual fate of the message. Keeps moderators happier in multi-moderator lists, without info loss, with less traffic.
  • A moderator's (un)subscribe CONFIRM reply results in target notification, only if the target's status changed. Multiple moderators confirming no longer yields multiple messages to target.
  • ezmlm-manage copy() takes 2 arguments, the file name and a fall-back file name in case the first file does not exist. CONFIRM requests to moderators use text/mod-(un)sub-confirm (fall back: text/(un)sub-confirm). ezmlmrc changed to set these up.
  • Added MIME header to ezmlm-get -index response (to get DIR/charset effect).
  • Updated docs and FAQ.idx.
  • Pre-release compile testing on several platforms. (Thanks YG, ARB, MF, SK).
  • Added DIR/msgsize. If it exists and is not 0, ezmlm-send and ezmlm-store will bounce posts in excess of 'msgsize' bytes body size.
  • Fixed ezmlm-clean to that when multiple messages time out, the message-id:s are different.
  • ezmlm-clean and ezmlm-moderate now by default return the post as a MIME attachment. Use '-M' for old format.
  • Rewrote ezmlm-make to work from the ezmlmrc template file for better and easier customization. Changed moderator rejection comment tag to '%%%' from '###' to support '#' as a comment character in ezmlmrc. '###' still works.
  • Added DIR/sequence for optional message number header, and DIR/charset for character set. Thanks, SK. Default Compiled is now US-ASCII, as per rfc2046.
  • Added TEST.idx, SECURITY.idx.
  • ezmlm-get allows remote admins archive access even for non-public lists. The ezmlm-get -pP switches override DIR/public effects.
  • ezmlm-manage still does moderator-initiated (un)sub when DIR/public is absent.
  • Fixed bug: Updated MIME to rfc2046. With this the ezmlm-get 'm' format is no longer rfc1153-like. 'r' still gives rfc1153. Moderation attachments are now message/rfc822. Hopefully, the pine attachment viewer will catch up. Thanks, YG and Mutt developers] for teaching me the errors of my ways. Also, see ezmlm-get.1(BUGS).
  • ezmlm-manage gives moderator help and does list if target is moderator, rather than sender. Allows moderator to access from secondary account (to which mail sent to the primary account is forwarded).
  • ezmlm-store checks DIR/modpost for leading '/' and if found assumes that the first line is the base directory for message moderators.
  • ezmlm-manage checks DIR/modsub and DIR/remote contents for a leading '/'. If found, it is assumed to be the base-dir for moderators. NB: if both DIR/modsub and DIR/remote have entries, only DIR/modsub is used, i.e. it is not possible to have different dbs for remote admin and (un)sub mods.
  • Modified ezmlm-manage to add separate moderator confirm commands (tc/vc) to allow also subscription moderator via forwarded mail. This is essentially a total rewrite of ezmlm-manage. Also, the -S and -U switches were added to allow optional omission of the user confirm phase for (un)subscribe. USE OF THESE SWITCHES DRASTICALLY DECREASES SECURITY, except for moderated lists. Since there have been many request for this (and it seems reasonable in some circumstances) these options have been added. Make sure you understand the consequences if you use them.
  • Fixed bug: Added exit code to ezmlm-moderate. Thanks BG.
  • Added include for sys/types.h to ezmlm-clean.c and ezmlm-store.c, changed ulong/uint to unsigned long/int, removed void from empty parameter lists for two functions, all to compile on BSDI 2.1 and Sun. Thanks, ARB and TE.
  • Combined ezmlm-mod with ezmlm-idx and fused mod.h into idx.h.
