OK, haven't heard any bugs from the "release candidate" tarball, so out it goes! This release fixes some major bugs, so it'll be a good one to upgrade to if you're using one of the earlier 2.5x releases.

Changes since 2.52: - corruption of Bayes db where nspam/nham was getting zeroed, fixed. - Bayes now has much lower lock timeouts for opportunistic expiry and auto-learning, to avoid overloading busy servers with an expiry run. (This may result in occasional "lock failed" messages in the syslog while you're doing manual sa-learn ops, but those are not serious; it just means that an auto-learn could not take place because the dbs were opened by you in another process.) - NDBM_File does not provide an EXISTS method, worked around. - BSMTP support (spamc -B) fixed. - Bayes allowed the user to 'forget' messages they hadn't learned. - sa-learn broken when installed in a non-standard location. - spamc was failing to dump message if out of memory. - add-all-addrs-to-blacklist was a no-op, fixed. - syslog-socket support was broken, fixed. - sslspamc compilation fixed. - SIGCHLD handling in spamd was causing an ugly warning on Red Hat 8. - user_prefs were left world-writable after auto-whitelist use. - Razor was zeroing %ENV; protected against this. - some test failures on 5.005 and with Razor fixed; some tests were also still using the user's Bayes dbs. - Windows portability fix in new Bayes journal code. - dialup_codes now a privileged setting. - clean PATH env variable immediately upon spamd start; fixed problem with taint mode failures when getting hostname in Perl 5.005. - NetBSD: fixed SSL support, spamd start script. - single-Received-header mails were not getting DNSBL checks. - some doco fixes. --j. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: ValueWeb: Dedicated Hosting for just $79/mo with 500 GB of bandwidth!
