what is the difference between V 2.61 and V 2.70?
Except for, that it is an developerversion ( I mean V 2.70):-)

I download the 2.70-cvs and 2.61 tarballs and diffed them.


Note that this is just a summary of me looking at diffs, and any errors are the result of my misreading or misinterpretation of the data.

1) it appears they've made spamd have a default limit of 5 children, unless you specify otherwise with -m.

2) the change of dynablock from easynet.nl to sorbs has NOT been applied to 2.70-cvs (as of today) but is in 2.61

3) 2.70 no longer works with perl 5.005. It now has a require 5.006_001 statement in the code.

4) there appear to be some significant differences in the auto-whitelist. Presumably to fix a few weird corner-cases that have been seen..

5) they seem to be backing out and re-writing some contributions due to conversion of the contributor agreement to be based on the Apache foundation. Some patch authors apparently did not sign the Apache agreements, so they need to be redone.

6) it looks like they are working on support for SPF http://spf.pobox.com/

7) HTML parsing changes, to try to prevent spammer obfuscations from confusing it.

8) It looks like they changed the range of legal characters when parsing message headers to be more strictly RFC 821 based (presumably to avoid some kind of obfuscation?)

9) some general misc rule tweaks.
