+
+fetchmail 6.3.0 (not yet released officially):
+
+# SECURITY FIX
+* The POP3 UIDL code doesn't sufficiently validate/truncate the input
+ length, so a (malicious or compromised) server that sends UIDs longer
+ than 128 bytes can corrupt fetchmail's stack and crash fetchmail.
+ This vulnerability is remotely exploitable to inject code run in a
+ root shell. This is tracked under the CVE Name: CAN-2005-2335
+
+# MAJOR INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES
+* Remove support for --netsec/-T options, the required inet6_apps library is no
+ longer available.
+ http://www.inner.net/pub/ipv6/ states, as of 2005-07-03: "/pub/ipv6
+ Our IPv6 software is now long defunct. Please find a more modern source."
+ I haven't been able to find a more modern source. Matthias Andree
+* Operating systems that do not conform to the Single Unix Specification v2
+ (1997) or v3 (2001, aka IEEE Std 1003.1-2001) are no longer supported. They
+ may continue to work and non-intrusive patches to support them may be
+ accepted. Matthias Andree
+
+# OBSOLETION WARNINGS
+* The MX and host alias lookups that fetchmail performs in multidrop mode are
+ obsolete, deprecated and may be removed from a future fetchmail version
+ without further notice. Their support for IPv6 (including IPv6-mapped IPv4)
+ is unspecified. Matthias Andree
+* The monitor and interface options may also be removed from a future fetchmail
+ version as they are not sufficiently portable.
+

+ http://daniel.haxx.se/projects/trio/ for systems that do not support

+ - fetchmail-6.2.5-random-result.patch (uninitialized variable/opie.c)
+* Revised some bogus assertions about POP3 LAST and UIDL use in the
+ manual page. UIDL isn't flaky as the man page suggested, but a
+ reliability feature. In fact, IMAP4 code is flaky in that it relies on
+ the upstream seen flags. (MA)

+ Matthias Andree.
+* Fix Debian bug #301964, fetchmail leaks sockets when SSL negotiation
+ fails. Fix suggested Goswin Brederlow. (MA)
+* Really fix Debian Bug#207919 (garbage in Received: lines when smtphost set),
+ patch by Tobias Diedrich. The 6.2.5 NEWS claimed Gregan's patch had fixed

+ Darwin. NetBSD PR#28543 (pkg/28543). Matthias Andree.
+* The RFC-822 parser no longer strips the last character of bare addresses.
+ Matthias Andree
+* The IP address matching code was broken and
+ 1. didn't search exhaustively, but matched only the first IP address of the
+ server's queryname against the IP addresses of the server name to match.

+* gettext (intl/) has been removed from the fetchmail package. Install GNU
+ gettext 0.14 separately for NLS (i18n). Matthias Andree

+ fetchmailconf.py script, which is now installed in the regular python
+ directory. Matthias Andree.

+ option, which is now supported even without --enable-inet6. Matthias Andree.

+ getnameinfo() and the macro AF_INET6. Matthias Andree.

+ brackets for consistency with Postfix. Matthias Andree.
+* Operating systems that do not support at least one of gethostbyname,

-error from your listener. If this happens, just add a `via' option with

-* Pascal Grudler <pg@dtx466.ledl.com> sent a fix for the idfile option.
-* Several fixes for command-line processing from Gunther Leber:
- - in fetchmail.c
- * set tmpbuf to NULL after freeing the buffer (so this will hopefully
- cause a coredump, when tmpbuf is used somewhere else)
- * when makeing sure we have a nonempty host list to forward to, I
- added "localhost" for non ETRN protocols. This should relieve the
- situation for people, who do neither have a static ip-address
- (hostname) assigned and don't bother to set up a dummy-interface
- for their hostname. I think this feature was already in fetchmail
- in an older version. We lost this, when we changed the code that it
- would work with ETRN. My fix here works for both ETRN and non ETRN.
- - in options.c
- * changed char buf[...] to *buf + xmalloc to avoid buffer overuns and
- possible resulting (and annoying) coredumps
- * in parsecmdline(): replaced atoi by xatoi which uses strtol and
- better validity checks for input numbers. This fix only works on
- ANSI-C systems; old systems still use atoi.

- - Made some strcmp() be strcasecmp() as it should be because it didn't

-
-features --
-
-* Use Return-Path for RCPT FROM if possible for better behavior on mailing
- lists and bouncemail.
-
-* New Makefile production to generate an RPM.
-
-* The `no received' option of 3.4 is gone. Instead, say `no envelope'.

- based on it. If you set `no envelope' in the defaults entry it is possible
- to undo that in individual entries by using `envelope <string>'.

-fetchmail-3.1.0 (Fri Jan 24 12:45:18 EST 1997):
-
-features --
-
-* Forwarding is now done via ESMTP where possible.
-
-* ESMTP 8BITMIME option is supported; when 8BITMIME is supported and the
- Content-Transfer-Encoding header is 7BIT or 8BIT, it is appended to the
- MAIL FROM command as a BODY option.
-
-* ESMTP SIZE option is supported when using IMAP2bis or IMAP4. This means
- messages too long for the local ESMTP listener will be rejected *before*
- they are passed to the ESMTP listener.
-
-* IMAP code now detects IMAP4rev1 capabilities (RFC 2060) and uses them.
- (It will fall back to IMAP4 or IMAP2bis depending on what it sees.)

-fetchmail-3.0.0 (Tue Jan 21 16:44:56 EST 1997), 8164 lines:

-features --

-* `interface' and `monitor' options are now per-server.
-
-* `batchlimit' option is now per-user.
-
-* RFC822 header continuation for long address lists is is now handled properly.
-
-* There is now a `nodns' option to suppress DNS checking of address hostname
- parts in multidrop mode (make sure your aka list is complete before you use
- this!).
-
-* Options such as `nokeep' can now be written `no keep'.
-
-* RPOP support is back by user request.
-
-Note: The first two changes mean that older .fetchmailrc files using
-the `set' syntax for these options will cause fetchmail to die with a
-parse error at initialization time. Conversion is trivial -- for
-details, see the FAQ.
-
-bugs --
-
-* Stricter parsing of greeting message for the host name; eliminates some
- minor errors when using IMAP and the hostname is something like jet.es.
-
-* --quit in root-daemon mode didn't work, fixed this.
-
-* Ensure that default server parameters get properly zeroed out after each
- poll or skip statement in .fetchmailrc.
-
-* Arrange an EXPUNGE after each delete when using IMAP, so deletions get done
- OK even if there's a socket error before termination.
-
-* Simpler and better header-rewrite code, fixing some weird cases where
- it failed. Thanks to Masafumi NAKANE <max@wide.ad.jp> and
- Carey Evans <c.evans@student.canterbury.ac.nz> for pointing out these
- problems.
-
-* Handle zero-length messages properly; thanks to Bob Craycroft.

-fetchmail-2.3.0 (Sat Dec 12 14:31:00 EST 1996), 6789 lines:
-
-features --
-
-* Full IMAP4 support -- we now probe for IMAP4 capabilities and use
- RFC822.PEEK when possible to avoid marking messages seen on the server
- before they are deleted. This improves recovery from sendmail and
- dropped-connection errors.
-
-* True stdio buffering of sockets at last, thanks to Cameron McPherson.
- This should be good for a significant throughput increase.
-
-* Almost all error messages that might be emitted in daemon mode now go
- through the error() subroutine. This is a first step towards allowing
- a daemon-mode fetchmail to use syslog.
-
-* SIGUSR1 is now used for wakeup rather than SIGHUP. This eliminates any
- possible confusion about fetchmail's behavior at logout time.
-
-* Received line parsing for envelope addresses now matches MX as well as
- canonical DNS addresses, making multidrop routing slightly more reliable.
-
-* Added --fetchlimit option to limit number of messages fetched in a
- single poll.
-
-bugs --
-
-* Fixed a FreeBSD compilation glitch involving SIGCLD (thanks to
- Masafumi NAKANE).
-
-* Added some port patches for NEXTSTEP.

-
-* If SMTP returns 571 (unsolicited mail refused) to a MAIL FROM, the
- address is excluded by the local sendmail's spam filter. Drop the mail.
- (This is the only circumstance in which mail is thrown away.)
-
-* The header your mailserver uses to convey envelope addresses is no longer
- wired to `X-Envelope-Header'. You can now specify it with the `envelope'
- option in .fetchmailrc. (This header is not RFC822 standard, and we have a
- report of an ISP using X-Frontier-To).
-
-bugs --
-
-* Fixed a startup-time core dump introduced by 2.1's aka-list feature.
-
-* Fixed a bug in non-implicit mode (poll specified host), also due to aka.
-
-* Various minor portability fixes for Suns. Adding #include <errno.h>
- in fetchmail.c was the most significant one.
-
-* Avoid using -lresolv when possible, some Linux versions are badly broken.
-
-* Fix error in MX record handling that was causing multidrop problems.

-* Try to pass envelope From to the listener so that logging and procmail
- processing works right. If that fails, fall back on calling-user.
-
-* Added `set logfile = ' option to rc syntax.
-
-* We now use X-Envelope-To headers and parse the Received lines. If
- X-Envelope-To is found, OK; otherwise we look for a `Received for' line;
- either is treated as a true envelope address. If neither of these are
- found we go to the To/Cc/Bcc header addresses.
-
-* Added `*' as a wildcard option for multidrop to ... here. This will allow
- names to be local names to be passed through from a multi-drop box on
- a mailserver
-
-* Added an `aka' option to allow users to declare mailserver aliases at start
- of run, so DNS does less work. During a run, cache host matches on the
- aka list so no potential alias has to be DNS-checked more than once.
- A server being polled explicitly may be referred to by any of its aliaseses.

-
-features --
-
-* FEATURE FREEZE IS NOW IN EFFECT! No new features until after 2.0. Thanks
- to everybody who contributed ideas and criticism.
-
-* It is now possible to specify multiple local recipients by giving a list
- of names following "to" or "is". Each local recipient is checked for in the
- To:, Cc: and Bcc: headers of each message; if a match is found, the message
- is sent to that local recipient. This makes it possible to do mailing
- lists and multidrop mailboxes. See the man page for details (and note
- the caveat in the BUGS AND KNOWN PROBLEMS section).
-
-* It is possible to specify a size limit for retrieved messages. I resisted
- doing this because I don't want fetchmail to be in the filtering game, but
- too many Europeans begged for it because their telecomms monopolies are
- price-gouging them on per-second phone charges. I will ignore, or be
- extremely rude to, anyone who takes this feature as a license to beg me
- for kill files or any other form of content-based filtering. Use
- procmail on your server if you want that.
-
-* If you use an MDA, the internal changes to support multi-drop mailboxes
- require that you *remove* the %s at the end of your MDA string. Local
- delivery addresses will be appended to the end of the command in the
- obvious way.
-
-* The first message from a query now includes the number of old messages
- when this can be determined (that is not under POP2).
-
-* POP3 UID support really works now. I make rude noises at the POP3 mavens
- who forced us to this with RFC1725, but thank Al Longyear <longyear@sii.com>
- for fixing and verifying my slightly buggy implementation.
-
-* Kerberos V4 support ditto. Thanks to Chris Hanson <cph@martigny.mit.edu>
- for this feature.
-
-* When there's a daemon fetchmail in background, running fetchmail in
- foreground without --quit now tries to wake the daemon and force it
- to poll immediately.
-
-* Add option to set server nonresponse timeout.
-
-* Password is no longer displayed in verbose mode.
-
-* You may use C-like escapes to embed non-printables in passwords and other
- strings. Fetchmail -V will display them in a printable form.
-
-* Program now tries to set itself to the ID of the local user before
- running an MDA, and reset to root afterwards. This will work on
- any system with seteuid(2), including Linux and the BSDs.
-
-bugs --
-
-* Default user name to deliver to is now the calling user, unless
- program is running as root in which case it is the remote user name
- (default can be overridden with an `is' or `to' declaration).
- In versions up to 1.7 it was the calling user; in 1.8 the remote
- user ID. This created some confusion.
-
-* Accept RFC822 headers with a tab after the colon.
-
-* You now see a "skipping" message for each message not retrieved.
-
-* --keep no longer overrides --flush.
-
-* Rewrite "To: jrh (J. Random Hacker)" correctly.
-
-* Find "nnn octets" anywhere on a POP3 server's RETR response line.
-
-* Fixed various bugs in --check. It now reports PS_SUCCESS only if
- there is new mail waiting.
-
-* Under Linux, if fetchmail is run in daemon mode with the network
- inaccessible, each poll leaves a socket allocated but in CLOSE state
- (this is visible in netstat(1)'s output). These sockets aren't
- garbage-collected until fetchmail exits. When whatever kernel table
- is involved fills up, fetchmail can no longer run even if the network is up.
- To avoid this, fetchmail now commits seppuku after some number of
- unsuccessful socket opens.
-
-* Don't try using FLAGS.SILENT, some allegedly IMAP2bis servers seem to
- choke on it.
-
-There are 100 people on the fetchmail-friends list.

- Vromans <JVromans@squirrel.nl> for the suggestion).
-
-* Arrange for timeout of client after 5 minutes if connection to server is
- dropped (thanks to Gaspar Sinai <gsinai@gol.com>).
-
-* All pretensions to RPOP support have been dropped. Yes, this is a feature,
- RPOP is very vulnerable to spoofing! Use APOP instead.
-
-* Normal start-of-read message now displays the byte (excuse me, "octet")
- size of the message. Yes, 3schwend, you can stop noodging me now :-).
-
-* Normal progress notifications now take only 1 line per message, not 2.
-
-* Linux packagers: building fetchmail now generates an RPM specfile for it.
-
-* Kerberos V4 support via KPOP protocol (thanks to Chris Hanson).
-
-* New --check option for asking server whether there is mail without
- actually retrieving or deleting it.
-
-* UID support is back by popular demand. Bletch.

-* Make configure more GNUish; it understands --prefix and other standard
- autoconf options now (see INSTALL for details)
-
-* Better documentation of the new .fetchmailrc extensions and the slightly
- stricter rules for ordering options.
-
-* Expanded installation instructions including how to test for correct
- operation without losing mail to misconfigured MDAs, alias loops, etc.
-
-bugs --
-
-* You may have to rearrange the order of options in your .fetchmailrc.
- The grammar for the new multiple-user syntax requires that server
- options (protocol and port) come before any user options.
-
-* Fixed core dump bug that was screwing configurations with no .fetchmailrc.
-
-* Fixed broken 'p' option.
-
-* `norewrite' and `rewrite' in .fetchrc were the inverses of what they
- should have been (but the rewrite default was set correctly).

-fetchmail-1.6.0 (Sun Oct 6 20:55:09 EDT 1996), 4052 lines:
-
-features --
-
-* You can now have multiple entries for the same server but different
- users, and the right thing will happen (each user's mailbox will
- be queried). Even better, you can now specify multiple users in a
- single server entry.
-
-* Restore --mda, seems some people either can't run a port 25 listener
- due to bizarre dynamic-SLIP problems, or won't for security reasons.
-
-* When delivering to an MDA, print error and die (before deleting the message!)
- if the MDA returns nonzero status. Better safe than sorry.
-
-* If fetchmail is called through a link named `popclient' it will look in
- ~/.poprc for a run control file. Unless that file includes the deleted
- options limit and localfolder this should actually work.
-
-bug fixes --
-
-* Makefile fixes for correct linking on Sparcs and avoiding duplication of
- the md5 files (leading to harmless install-time error messages).
-
-* Fix a bonehead coding error in pop3_delete() that was masked by the
- Intel register architecture. *blush* Thanks to Jay Anderson
- <anderson@optical.bms.com>.
-
-* Fix bug that prevented SMTP from being specified on the defaults line.
-
-* Allow program to generate correct lockfiles when USER is undefined
- (i.e. under zsh).
-
-* Allow program to run with no .fetchmailrc file again.

-fetchmail-1.5.0 (Thu Oct 3 04:35:15 EDT 1996), 3892 lines:
-* Naturally, my decision to announce 1.4 on comp.os.linux.announce
- immediately caused the code to manifest its first real bug --
- a core dump when the "From:" header is spelled "from:" (all lower

-* Update and expansion of NOTES.

-fetchmail-1.3.0 (Tue Oct 1 05:49:49 EDT 1996):
-* Significant man page improvements.
-* Escapes for newlines in .fetchmailrc are now optional.
-* Kill off -2 and -3 options, redundant popclient remnants.
-* IMAP code simplification and robustification. Use FETCH FLAGS to find
- seen messages. Code should now work even if unseen messages are
- interspersed with seen ones, and even if messages are appended to the
- mailbox during the run.
-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-fetchmail-1.2.0 (Sat Sep 28 15:40:50 EDT 1996), 3943 lines:
-* The great option massacre. Remove --stdout, --limit, --local, --mda.
- We get a significant code and complexity shrinkage this way (a lot of the
- configuration machinery goes away too). These things are your MDA's job.
- (This also kills off the lose-mail-on-disk-full bug, which I've never
- seen but two users reported.)
-* Link APOP support by default.
-* Fix embarrassing Makefile bug.
-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-fetchmail-1.1.0 (Sat Sep 28 09:21:10 EDT 1996), 4388 lines:
-* In POP3, don't send LAST if STAT shows count of waiting messages to be zero.
-* Document APOP better, we know it works now.
-* Lose the .fetchids file and give up on POP3 UIDs, they're a dead loss.
-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-fetchmail-1.0.0 (Thu Sep 26 11:59:38 EDT 1996), 4453 lines:
-* SMTP forwarding and header-rewrite features work with POP2 now.
-* Stricter RFC822 conformance, so SMTP to qmail works. Thanks to
- Cameron MacPherson <unsound@oz.net> for these changes.
-* The program is quieter but more informative now (suppress printing of
- server greeting message; add the server host being queried to the
- message count information line).
-* Add `skip' option to make it easier to set up test entries.
-* Name change (it ain't just for POP any more).
-
-==============================================================================
-popclient-3.2 (Mon Sep 23 13:29:46 EDT 1996):
-* RPOP support (coded at a user's request but untested).
-* Ported to QNX (see the Makefile).
-* Add code by Michael Schwendt <3schwend@informatik.uni-hamburg.de> for
- improved sizeticker.
-* Improved RFC822 parsing (thanks to Rob Funk).
-* Move the per-user lockfile to /tmp so it gets cleared at reboot time.
-* Warn users that running concurrent instances of popclient is a bad idea.
-* Try USER and HOME to set defaults before going to the password file.
- This should work better in Sun NIS environments.
-
-popclient-3.1 (Thu Sep 12 15:45:25 EDT 1996):
-* MDA arguments are now dumped when using the -V option.
-* Sendmail delivery from background seems to work now.
-* We have IMAP2bis/IMAP4 support.
-* Code now autoprobes for a POP3, IMAP, or POP2 server if no protocol is
- specified.
-* SMTP forwarding support. Thanks to Harry Hochheiser <harry@tigger.jvnc.net>
- for this simple but clever idea. It's now the default delivery mode.
-* If no UNIX From line is found, popclient will now synthesize a correct
- line from the RFC822 From line.
-* It is now possible to specify the host TCP/IP port number to connect to.
-
-popclient-3.05 (Thu Aug 22 22:59:04 EDT 1996):
-* Experimental support for RFC1725-compliant POP servers with the UIDL
- command and without LAST.
-
-popclient-3.04 (Wed Aug 21 00:22:44 EDT 1996):
-* Logfile option works.
-
-popclient-3.03:
-* Minor bug fixes for password querying and redirection to stdout.
-
-popclient-3.02 (Fri Jul 19 11:37:56 EDT 1996), 3682 lines:
-* Correct buggy processing of nokeep/noflush/fetchall.
-* Fix buggy -mda option processing.
-* Added -N/--norewrite option.
-* Delivery via sendmail now works in non-daemon mode.
-
-popclient-3.01 (Mon Jul 1 13:33:51 EDT 1996):
-* Fixed a lexical analyzer bug in quoted-string processing.
-* Fixed a bug in dump_options that caused username to be displayed incorrectly.
-* The lock assertion code was in the wrong place relative to the daemonize()
- call.
-
-popclient-3.0 (Fri Jun 28 11:33:34 EDT 1996):
-
-Eric S. Raymond <esr@thyrsus.com> hacked extensively on 3.0b6 and took over
-the package with the consent of Carl Harris, the original implementor.
-Some of the 3.0 feature additions were inspired by Sean Oh's fetchpop 1.8
-code, and a few use code directly lifted from fetchpop. Here are my (Eric's)
-change notes:
-
-CONFIGURATION AND BUILDING
-
-* The autoconfigure script incorrectly assumed that all Linuxes use
- /usr/bin/deliver. Under Linux it now checks for both /usr/bin/delivermail
- and /bin/mail.
-
-* I added a distribution-maker production to Makefile.in.
-
-OPTIONS AND COMMAND LINE
-
-* I have removed the -p command-line option. Given that there's a run control
- facility there is no excuse for encouraging users to put plaintext passwords
- in scripts which might be readable.
-
-* Calling popclient with no arguments now causes it to query or operate
- on every host in the run control file.
-
-* I have made --version more useful by having it dump the computed
- connection options for each server specified.
-
-* The user can now explicitly set an MDA (such as procmail) with the
- new option -m or -mda. Various possible MDAs are listed on the man page.
-
-POPRC FILE SYNTAX
-
-* The run control file lexer now supports "-enclosed strings which may
- contain whitespace.
-
-* I added a --yydebug option to enable run control parser debugging at
- runtime if the parser was generated with --debug. It's not documented.
-
-* You may now have a `defaults' entry in the run control file which sets
- overrideable values for other entries. See the man page for details.
-
-* It is now possible to set keep, flush and fetchall in your run control
- file.
-
-* Fixed incorrect numbering of source lines in run control file parse error
- messages.
-
-* The configure.in specification no longer uses the obsolete AC_TRY_COMPILE
- macro (it uses AC_TRY_LINK instead).
-
-MAILBOX LOCKING
-
-* I have added mandatory locking of mailbox files where supported.
- This will cover Linux systems, in particular.
-
-* The default behavior is now to do lock-protected append on the user's
- system mailbox rather than using delivermail or some other MDA.
- (This is a performance hack.)
-
-* The autoconfigure script now looks for standard mail locations. The
- default mail delivery agent is used only if it can't find a mail spool
- directory in the standard places.
-
-FUNCTIONAL ENHANCEMENTS
-
-* When using POP3, message headers are edited so that replies won't foo up.
- Anything that looks like a mail ID local to the POP host gets @ and the
- pop servername attached to it before being appended to the user's
- mailbox or passed to an MDA.
-
-* I have implemented daemon mode.
-
-* I have added a lock check to ensure that there is only one popclient
- running per user, and a --quit option to kill the currently running
- one.
-
-DOCUMENTATION
-
-* All changes and feature additions have been tested in actual use and are
- documented on the man page.
-
-* I have turned the comments in the sample run control file into a new manual
- section documenting the file format.
-
-MISCELLANEOUS BUG FIXES
-
-* I fixed some de-initialization bugs in pop2.c and pop3.c that led to
- fd leaks (these became painfully obvious when I tested daemon mode!).
-
-* I've fixed the flaky parser error messages. They turned out to be due
- to a misdeclaration of yytext.
-
-These are Carl Harris's change notes from previous releases:
-
-3.0b5
-o "From " header fix in pop2.c and pop3.c
-o Surpress "..." output when --stdout option specified in pop3.c
-
-3.0b4
-o alloca fix.
-o various diagnostic/informational message fixes.
-
-3.0b3
-o Support for retrieving only new messages from maildrop when
- using POP3.
-o Support for retrieving only the first n lines of each message
- when using POP3.
-o APOP authentication support.
-o Buffered socket input.
-
-3.0b2
- This is a "new features" release.
-o support for .poprc file.
-o GNU-style long options.
-o fixed passwords appearing in 'ps' output
-o support for multiple servers on one command line
-
-3.0b1
- This is mostly a test of the autoconfigure integration.
-Among the functions performed by the new configure script, is
-the ability to detect known system types, configures the mail
-delivery agent (MDA) correctly. This should permanently solve
-the problem of using something other than an MDA for mail
-delivery (which continues to plague Linux slackware 1.2.9).
-For this beta, please check the values of MDA_PATH and MDA_ARGS
-carefully. They should match the values found in your
-sendmail.cf file on the line which begins with "Mlocal".
-
- Other changes from popclient version 2.21:
-
-o no longer uses getpass() from the C library. The
- internal getpassword() function allows the use of long
- passwords.
-
-o integrated GNU getopt() for long options. Long option
- names will appear in a future beta.
-
-o Several compiler warnings fixed.
-
-o Fixed problems related to missing include files in
- Solaris port.
