2 - BerliOS Bug #10972, Fetchmail refetches big messages repeatedly (SMTP listener
4 - publish SA-2007-02 after release
5 - Debian Bug #475239, MIME decoder may break up words (need to quote results)
6 - Replace sscanf/fscanf by functions that do range checking (strtol/strtoul) :-/
7 See http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=6453
8 - Ubuntu Launchpad Bug #64152, fetchmailconf fails if fetchmail compiled
9 without res_search() since "dns" missing in "Server" typemap.
10 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fetchmail/+bug/64152
11 - Ubuntu Launchpad Bug #151333, cannot download mail with long Cc: field
12 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fetchmail/+bug/151333
15 - https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=246829 - fetchmail lost some mail
16 (5XX error code in contradiction with manual?)
17 also http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=471283
18 - allow \Deleted without \Seen, rf.
19 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=466299
20 - document IMAP4 ACL requirements
21 - log configured server name on certificate mismatch (perhaps pay
22 attention to via entries and stuff like that)
23 - BerliOS Bug #11576, thread on fetchmail users "Invalid SSL certificate" by
24 Philip Susi, SSL negotiation does not use ERR_error_string(3ssl) to report
25 errors in a readable way, we just report socket errors with no good reason.
26 - http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=432618
27 * write a table of combinations of TLS/SSL options
28 - add To: header to warning mails (authfail for instance)
29 - Debian Bug#449179, smbutil.c:90: unicodeToString: Assertion `len+1 < sizeof
30 buf' failed, from Stepan Golosunov <stepan@golosunov.pp.ru>
31 - Fix TOCTOU race around prc_filecheck*
32 - Get rid of peeking in socket.c? MSG_PEEK seems non-portable and racey.
35 - http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=471176
36 => fetchmail: support utf-8 encoding in log file
37 Revisit http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=400719
38 => syslog messages are localised
39 http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2006/11/msg01068.html
42 - find a solution for the "invalid header" discards message problem
43 (escape headers and stuff reminder into body)
44 - add Message-ID: header and other SHOULD headers to warning mails?
45 - report multiline SMTP errors properly (sample in private mail from
46 Earl Chew, 2007-07-30T02:28)
47 => requires reworking SMTP_ok to actually not only read the last line
48 of multiline replies, but buffer.
49 - revise ticker, and add something like .........20%.... ... 100%
53 - Convert POP3 UIDs to X-UIDL?
54 - fetch IMAP message in one go (fetchmail-devel by Adam Simpkins
55 <simpkins@cisco.com> around Nov 2nd)?
58 - use PS_PROTOCOL for pre-/post-connect command failures - 6.3 uses
59 PS_SYNTAX, and that's not necessarily the case. At least if the
60 command terminates with a signal, we should report PS_PROTOCOL.
61 - revisit maximum allowed rcfile permissions, fix inconsistency
62 (silently allowing g+x).
63 - make UID code more efficient, parsing is O(n^2), should be no worse
65 - help systematic debugging
66 - by making logging more strict (Postfix's msg_* as example??)
67 - by adding a --loggingtest or something that emits
68 a set of test log messages at various severity levels, in order to
69 make sure people get complete logs.
70 - by adding messages where fetchmail stuffed its output.
71 - Debian Bug #454291 fetchmail --quit: should check, that pid file
72 really contains pid of fetchmail process (Dmitry Nezhevenko)
74 - feature to skip first N or all messages upon first download
75 - download only messages whose headers match a filter (by Toby, Usenet
76 Nov 2007 de.comm.software.mailserver
77 Message-ID: <1195033726.123704.296060@k79g2000hse.googlegroups.com>)
78 - feature request by Daniel Goering <g_daniel@gmx.net> on
79 fetchmail-devel 2007-11-15: populate .fetchids from current messages.
80 (it'll probably be useful to limit this to "all but the 10 latest" or
81 "all before date this-and-that")
82 - http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=374514
83 "Deleting fetchids file" vs. POP3 - probably unneeded if we use IMAP UIDs.
84 - change SSL/TLS UI incompatibly, making it easier to use
85 - allow selection of SSL/TLS Ciphers
86 - perhaps switch to libgsasl and libgnutls (which doesn't talk SSLv2)
87 - make the SSL default v3 (rather than v23).
88 - put more hints to the FAQ (should we call it FGA?) as first support place
89 - make sure we print socket error messages such as connection reset by
90 peer to hint users the problem is not in fetchmail
91 - > b) When the envelope header is specified, but it isn't found, a
92 > warning is logged and the mail is forwarded to the postmaster
93 > ("WARNING: Envelope header $HEADER found, cannot identify the
94 > recipient. Forwarding to the postmaster")
95 Rob MacGregor 2007-03-16 Patch to the man page, fetchmail-devel@
96 - integrate Isaac Wilcox's test rig
97 - look at Tony Earnshaw's .spec file
98 - look at Gentoo patches
99 - remove dead replacement functions: strdup (Andreas Krennmair), ...
100 - more SMTP/LMTP error detail on message rejections even outside verbose mode.
101 Ian D. Allen, fetchmail-users. Two messages with examples.
102 What goes here? fetchmailrc location, server, port, user, folder, anything else?
103 - see if "AUTH SSH" can be made to work for POP3
104 - revisit BerliOS patches
105 - check recent list mail
106 - check Debian BTS and other bug trackers
107 - better logging (log all headers, log forward destination + method)
108 - check strict envelope N Received parsing,
109 see mail from Admin Att on fetchmail-users
110 - 6.3.4-pending-deletes.patch
111 - fetchmail -s with running daemon complains rather than silently
113 - send warning message when connection fails?
114 - when logging to syslog, disable locale?
115 - check FAQ O5 - do we really prefer From: over envelope?!?
116 - add code to allow safe authentication schemes if TLS fails
117 - make APOP an authenticator, integrate with regular auto authentication
118 but stuff it at the end
119 - allow forcing RETR (RETR vs. TOP, fetchmail-users, drbob 2008-01-11)
121 - make logfile more useful (redirect not only in daemon mode)
122 - for virtual mapping, we don't currently support local user aliases or
123 regexp matching with replacement. This would be useful for hosting
124 several virtual domains in one multidrop mailbox, as in
131 some@one.example maps to bob-one-some@serverdomain
132 another@two.example maps to bob-two-example@serverdomain
134 we can strip the bob-*, but but we don't support domain catchalls
135 here, and we cannot currently delegate or rewrite the remaining
136 one-* or two-* users in a useful way. All local parts of the upstream
137 domains must be known and mapped in the configuration file.
138 (See fetchmail-users, Michelle Konzack, 2009-05-03, "4 multidrop but one
139 destination server" and followup)
141 This probably entails some form of extended user mapping inside
142 fetchmail, for map_name() in transact.c, and possibly
143 find_server_names() ibidem.
146 - Add info whether Keywords are global, server or user keywords
147 - consolidate multidrop documentation
