* Add an "ident" per-user option for debugging that produces an
"X-Fetchmail-ID" header in fetched messages for debugging.
-* -U/--userdefault option to specify postmaster overriding USER.
* Can the initial gethostname() be eliminated?
Release Notes:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
fetchmail-4.5.3 ():
-* Minor fixes to the GSSAPI code. Seems to work with stock UW IMAP now!
+* Minor fixes to the GSSAPI code. Seems to work with stock UW IMAP now!
+* Fetchmail running as root now sends misaddressed multidrop mail to
+ `postmaster', not root. Added `postmaster' option to allow override.
There are 267 people on fetchmail-friends and 249 on fetchmail-announce.
fetchmail-4.5.1 (Wed Jul 1 19:27:56 EDT 1998):
* Checkalias option from Enrico Musio <enrico.musio@spaziozerouno.it>.
-* Discard Unix From_ lines in headers (copes with Debian bug report #23808.
+* Discard Unix From_ lines in headers (copes with Debian bug report #23808).
* Tell fetchmailconf not to care if the attempt to create an icon window fails.
* All fetchmailconf windows now iconify with an image.
