1.24 has been released to Sourceforge - so expect it to appear on the
mirrors within 'n' hours.

Not a big release, primarily upgraded bits to catch newer versions of
existing AV sub-systems (clamav-0.80 being the one most care about!),
worked around a perl bug in FreeBSD and the beginning of anti DoS
code.

It can be got from http://qmail-scanner.sourceforge.net/ as always.

List of changes follows:

*    Fixed a localization issue by using POSIX setlocale - thanks Piotr 
     Pawïin sub-vexira.pl fixed. Thanks to Shai

*    Fixes buglet with Q-S not successfully removing old X-Spam-Status:
     headers when it adds its own. Now Q-S simply renames such headers 
     - it gives a nice audit trail of previous SA checks (real or fake)
      
*     Fixed a FreeBSD buglet to do with spamc not playing with pipes
      correctly for messages bigger than 250K. Q-S is now hard-wired 
      to only call spamc for messages bigger than 250K.
      Hopefully that doesn't burn anyone (you can always edit the code...)
         
*     Quarantine events now separates  "Denial of Service" attacks 
      (which can affect the server) from other AV/Policy events. DoS events 
      don't get passed through AVs - they are blocked 
      instantly. Currently this covers overlong attachment filenames 
      and zip files that would have unpacked into more diskspace than 
      allowed by the new "--max-zip-size" option. Note
      that DoS check only kicks in if you are using "--unzip 1" -
      if you are not, it's up to the AV you are using to do such checks.
   
*     Crypto logging now has a "pecking order". An encrypted object is
      weighted higher than a signed object WRT logging (i.e. if 
      an e-mail is both signed and encrypted, it's only reported as 
      encrypted).
           
*     Increased max size of syslog entry to 1024 chars - the RFC max 
      limit of a UDP-based syslog record.
    
*     non-existant options in clamdscan removed, and version checking
      updated to catch the newest release format change
        
*     Added support for ESET NOD32 AV. Thanks to Maciej Soltysiak for
      the work

*     Long standing buglet in configure script found when using the 
      "--bindir" option. Thanks to Tomas Hoger for pointing it out
       
*     configure script will now auto-detect if you are running spamd
      in the (faster) Unix socket mode, and will configure spamc 
      accordingly. Not tested much as I think there may be bugs in 
      SA WRT this?
