Note that the solution is not a nice one: It does not recognize Mix keys, it simply allows 10 lines of binary garbage instead of 3. This should be enough for Mix keys to come through (by Peter Palfrader). Fixed a bug in pgpdata.c affecting v3 OpenPGP keys. (by Michael Young). 2001-09-14 2.9beta25 Now builds with pcre3 (by Peter Palfrader). Added support for destination.allow (by Peter Palfrader). If the sender email address or IP address matches anything in source.blk, ignore the message (by cmeclax). Added support for the Mutt -T option (by Bill O'Hanlon). Patches merged (by Len Sassaman). 2001-09-17 2.9beta30 Version renamed to avoid conflicts with other unofficial releases. 2001-09-19 2.9beta31 Fixed a bug in mime.c that sometimes resulted in malformed text attachments (by Michael Young).

Fixed Installer bugs. 2001-11-06 2.9beta32 Client functionality updates. POP sockets now properly close. Memory may be freed without allocating. Correct time is written to mbox. Key flags correctly set in key.txt. (all by Disastry). OpenSSL and OpenBSD Install script issues addressed. 2001-12-16 2.9b33 Support for Mixmaster as a service on Windows platforms added (by Disastry). Problem transparently remixing to Type I remailers debugged and corrected (by Andy Dustman, Disastry, Senshi-Admin). Fixed an error in chain.c that was causing segfaults with chains greater than 20 remailers. Non-multipart MIME message errors fixed. Fixed an error in rfc822.c (by Scott Renfro). Fixed pgpget.c errors. (by Ulf Möller). No longer permits automatic blocking of entire domains or newsgroups. Help files re-written (by Lucky Green). Fixed inconsistencies between software name and package name. 2002-07-01 2.9b34 Encrypt-to directive is now supported. Partial packets now properly expire if not reassembled (by cmeclax). Fixed an address blocking error introduced in the last version (Peter Palfrader). Various command line bug fixes. 2002-07-10 2.9b35 Updated zlib due to security reasons. Does not generate keys in client mode. Uses binary format for id.log. Assorted mpgp fixes (by Disastry). Added support for storing the key passphrase in the mix.cfg file. (by Disastry). Now reports the contents of dest.alw for middleman remailers (by Kat). Reworked the OpenSSL version check in the Install script. 2002-08-09 2.9b36 Removed duplicate define of NYMDB from menu.h. Fix a strncat() to undefined string variable in mix.c (Closes: #584381). Have the Makefile list all prerequisites for each build target (Closes: #584386). Change »majordomo@*« to »majordomo@« in default dest.blk. The dest block engine does not under- stand shell globs. Either substring matches or regexen. Fixed -T switch: if type2.list is not available fall back to pubring.mix. USE_IDEA is no longer default in config.h. It always gets defined by the Install script instead. Only create OpenPGP RSA keys if we compiled with IDEA. Make all filenames configurable in mix.cfg. Add global mix.cfg support (compile time option). The -G option now forces creation of new keys even in client mode (Closes: #585176). Random Documentation updates. Default to not installing a .forward file in Install script. Fix unused variable warning on OpenBSD. Fix public remailer keys getting re-signed every time keys are requested (Closes: #478383). Make smtp sending similar to local /usr/lib/sendmail sending (wrt header/body separation; Closes: #482052). Add X-Loop header on mailbox forwarded messages. Several small fixes by Sami Farin et al. Detach correctly in daemon mode. Minor Install script fixes. 2002-08-20 2.9b37 OpenPGP enhancement release (fixes by Disastry). Fix a small bug in pgpdata.c that stopped Mixmaster from reading cipher preferences. Fixed Passphrase reading in mpgp (the test program) on Windows platform. Add Hash: header when clearsigning. Properly handle RSA keys whose key size is not a multiple of 64. Remove leading zeros from MPI. Use MDC packets whenever possible. List CAST5 and AES128 in cipher preferences. Now displays Mixmaster version in the PGP version header for non remailer/nym messages. 2002-09-11 2.9b38 Install script deals with lack of patented IDEA algorithm in a sane way (closes: #479020). Compiled-in passphrase is now deprecated. When expiring packet ids from id.log also expire packets that are dated more than half a year in the future. That way we get rid of invalid packets introduced by the switch to a binary file. The stats in remailer-stats replies always had a peak at 00:00 GMT which was wrong. Fixed. (closes: #597688). Fixed a bug with reading armored keyrings consisting of more than one armored block or having comments in front of the one armored block. In RSA PGP keys, we now set e=0x11. Mixmaster now deletes error and temporary files older than PACKETEXP time along with expired partial packets. Linux PPC fixes (and all other archs where char is unsigned). 2002-10-07 2.9b39 Added a new feature, --store-mail (-I), which will deliver an encrypted mix packet to the message pool without attempting being decrypted. Made minor updates for WIN32 DLL. When sending type II messages interactivly you may now choose a middleman remailer as the last hop in your chain (closes: #481244). If a footer.txt file exists its content will be appended to outgoing messages leaving the remailer network at this hop (closes: #490117). List known remailers in remailer-conf reply (closes: #480330). The files created with "SENDMAIL outfile" have different names now to scale beyond 10k files (closes: #587593). Fixed the "is a mailfolder" checking for -f. Various fixes for Mixmaster when not using ncurses. Added new option --config to allow loading of configuration information from an alternate file. POOL is now used correctly if set in mix.cfg. ASCII armor checksum is now verified on PGP keys. Corrected a bug where 1/4096 of pgp messages was destroyed due an improper armor checksum interpretation. Added password-based authenticated SMTP for mix. Currently, only AUTH LOGIN is supported. Mixmaster now handles in pubring.mix. Removed incorrect NT service checks in mix.c. Mixmaster now keeps no stats in client mode. The pool is autmatically checked for waiting messages in the client configuration. Mixmaster now bears a DFSG-compliant license. Fixed permissions on tarball release. Documentation updates. 2002-10-16 2.9b40 New option MAILIN that can be set to either a mbox or Maildir folder. New mail will be read from it and the folder cleared every time Mixmaster processes its pool, or at MAILINTIME intervals (closes: #597043). The Mixmaster daemon now writes a pid file. Mixmaster in daemon mode now catches SIGTERM and SIGINT and finishes its current queue run and then exits successfully. Minor code formating cleanup and Install script fixes. 2002-12-15 2.9b41 The Mixmaster protocol version is now prepended to the software version in the Mixmaster cap- string. Minor configuration default changes and Install script fixes. Install script now always uses "make" and not "gmake". IDEA detection is fixed on systems that provide the header files but then turn out to not have the required functions upon linking. Install now properly identifies system-wide installations of pcre and/or zlib if they are installed in /usr/local/. Mixmaster will now ensure that an address submitted in a blocking request does not match that of a known remailer before adding it to the dest.blk file (patch submitted by Trek. Vulnerability originally discovered by noise and rabbi.) Minor documentation fixes. 2002-12-16 2.9b42 Minor documentation fixes. Clarified log message wording. Append another newline character to mbox folders when storing a mail so that the mandatory empty line is there. 2002-12-16 2.9.0rc1 Release candidate. Packaging changes only. 2002-12-25 2.9.0 Release version. Minor documentation changes and version number change only. 2003-11-08 2.9.1 Several changes for the Windows build. Some Install script fixes. Fixed a problem in blockrequest() where a buffer could have been used after it was free()'d which resulted in segfaults. Check that feedback buffer is not null before operating on it in chain_select(). Closes #631353, thanks Sami Farin. Make sure DH/DSA param file is actually opened before writing to it. Fixes a segfault in case it is not. Handle a pool we cannot read correctly: don't close the NULL dir handle (segfaults on *BSD). We also print a warning in that case now. Minor stats fix (gmtime vs localtime). Fix pool stats bug.
