Julian released two beta versions of MailScanner today – 4.33.1 was quickly replaced by 4.33.2
The more interesting changes are in MCP, which is now fully integrated into MailScanner.conf. Although I’m not using it on any of our production systems it’s still a very interesting feature that could prove useful in some situations.
Another feature that was added not so long ago is the -v switch (case insensitive):
MailScanner -v
will print out information on the host system, including the OS, perl version, version of MailScanner installed, as well all the required modules and any optional ones. This could be very useful when deploying/updating on multiple machines and for debugging purposes.
One of the areas that is being actively addressed is support for SpamAssassin 3. Another release candidate came out a couple of days ago, so hopefully support for autolearn and other functions will be working properly by the time it comes out.
I installed the latest beta on one system just to see how it is before pushing it out onto any important servers. As was to be expected the install and upgrade was easy.
A couple of people had reported some performance problems with a couple of the earlier releases, but watching our mail logs I didn’t see anything out of place.
