extsmail releases

• extsmail-2.6 (2022-08-04)
  • Size: 67473 bytes (65KiB)
  • SHA256: jYL15HdQofu9/2V5ps7Rf1XWRo8tmYMIVd8xB/nYhPI=
  • Release notes:
    
    • On Linux, ensure that a pselect() timeout leads to trying to (re)send messages.
• extsmail-2.5 (2021-08-08)
  • Size: 67418 bytes (65KiB)
  • SHA256: osGEqTZRFfQBkP4OKIZubG+BbGQRAGkV6agHLex8IHk=
  • Release notes:
    
    • Heavily simplify queue processing. As well as making the code easier to understand, extsmail is now more aggressive in trying to send messages. Failure to send a message now causes the next iteration through the queue to start from a random position, ensuring that extsmail can't become stuck on a (temporary or persistently) unsendable message, no matter the iteration order of the underlying spool directory.
• extsmail-2.4 (2020-01-31)
  • Size: 67888 bytes (66KiB)
  • SHA256: biVEo+5RYOkwgpmul2Nlp8mKHwHoYcYwrduk/E07FVA=
  • Release notes:
    
    • Fix a bug whereby a failure in executing a child process could cause an individual mail to be sent more than once and/or an unbounded number of child processes to persist indefinitely.
• extsmail-2.3 (2019-10-14)
  • Size: 67743 bytes (66KiB)
  • SHA256: cMMp1aJI/6fCZHKB3KvkLQ9zKIPkLoWve5rvXO6fGok=
  • Release notes:
    
    • Have autoconf decide whether to use lex/yacc or flex/bison.
    • Add pledge support for extsmail and extsmaild on OS's that support it.
    • If a child process fails, but doesn't print anything to stderr, then format the result more nicely.
    • Build correctly on Linux distributions that identify as GNU rather than Linux.
    • extsmaild -v now prints extsmail's version number.
• extsmail-2.2 (2018-11-30)
  • Size: 66924 bytes (65KiB)
  • SHA256: plmzbMclLxpH0pAtmKtrdA1LSst1TKLD1YNSN/oT2kI=
  • Release notes:
    
    • Suggest using -t with sendmail in examples (some sendmail clones require this switch).
    • Use -z,now when linking.
    • Fix two minor compiler warnings.
• extsmail-2.1 (2017-11-25)
  • Size: 67190 bytes (65KiB)
  • SHA256: BwvFCR21+hhLYyz/DRp2kfa5A5E01nMaMrZNJHCpJXM=
  • Release notes:
    
    • Build fix for more recent C compilers.
• extsmail-2.0 (2014-11-12)
  • Size: 66991 bytes (65KiB)
  • SHA256: +uuh8bAAvOVwEhz3s/X5+cx5QYfmhBcy5/omqfi9s1c=
  • Release notes:
    
    • Reload configuration file when SIGHUP is received (thanks to Olivier Girondel).
    • Added -t flag to check a configuration file without running extsmaild.
    • Be more careful to free all file handles.
• extsmail-1.9 (2014-06-20)
  • Size: 64037 bytes (62KiB)
  • SHA256: thya5L+IuUG8XV1zybzVPXacdE/y7O2uLQtc/8wjZcs=
  • Release notes:
    
    • Fix bug which could temporarily cause undue CPU to be consumed when a large file send was cut off in the middle. This didn't prevent mail being sent correctly in the end, but was ugly.
• extsmail-1.8 (2014-05-29)
  • Size: 63815 bytes (62KiB)
  • SHA256: BiwAvm8Ke3BRgndFgbuBAEmVbgotY6Al44ThBsTXUZE=
  • Release notes:
    
    • Fix bug which caused extsmaild to consume larger amounts of CPU than strictly necessary (a normal user should now be able to run extsmaild for several days before exceeding 1 second of CPU usage).
    • Fix reporting of sent mail on Linux (which previously sent mail correctly, but incorrectly reported failure even when the send was successful).
    • Various fixes to make OS packager's lives easier.
    • Significant code reorganisation to improve readability.
• extsmail-1.7 (2014-03-12)
  • Size: 62278 bytes (60KiB)
  • SHA256: 9cW/YISqzM076/eQrCTYnXXUMf/CsYkypiOr9x11BE0=
  • Release notes:
    
    • Several minor bug fixes spotted by static analysis tools (including memory leaks).
    • More robust handling of corrupt message files.
• extsmail-1.6 (2012-11-17)
  • Size: 61024 bytes (59KiB)
  • SHA256: ZJDruejp7/KD9f37tn4k5YIdu40taSA0lllZfSfoFOs=
  • Release notes:
    
    • Time out stalled sendmail processes. If a sendmail process hasn't read or written any data for 60 seconds, it is killed and later retried. This stops a stalled sendmail from perpetually blocking extsmail. Although rare, this could happen e.g. when an interface went down while an SSH session was open.
• extsmail-1.5 (2012-07-13)
  • Size: 59524 bytes (58KiB)
  • SHA256: 4mINaLSakrpzZHA26cVlDhQ18zhosi9RLa8G5ctPLRs=
  • Release notes:
    
    • Ensure that all messages which can be sent are sent. Some messages may (temporarily or permanently) be unsendable (e.g. because of size) and shouldn't hold up others.
    • Use exponential backoff when retrying. Quite often, a send failure is just a brief blip, so retry quickly, and as retries fail, increase the length of time until the next retry.
    • Add user-configurable notifications for successful / unsuccessful sends. Allows users to easily be notified (e.g. via xosd) if mail has been sent and, if not, how long it has been since everything was sent.
    • Various portability improvements.
    • Improvements to batch mode to bring it in line with daemon mode.
• extsmail-1.4 (2011-06-18)
  • Size: 55686 bytes (54KiB)

  • Release notes:
    
    • extsmaild's modes are now specified via the -m <mode name> switch. In particular the behaviour of the -d switch is now obtained with -m daemon.
    • More intelligent detection of whether a previous instance of extsmaild is running or not.
    • Systematically use syslog.
    • Fix possible race condition between extsmail and extsmaild.
    • Correctly handle SIGPIPE.
