Getmail

9 Apr 2011
-further changes to the Received: header construction to handle IPv6 better.
Thanks: Frédéric Perrin.

7 Apr 2011
-ensure correct remote address and port is included in the Received: trace
headers generated by getmail. Previously the first address found for the
server was used even if another address was actually used to connect to the
server. Thanks: Frédéric Perrin.
-add workaround for Python issue http://bugs.python.org/issue1389051 which
affects Python < 2.5.3, causing message retrieval of large messages from IMAP4
SSL servers to consume pathologically large amounts of memory.
Thanks: Bill Janssen.

29 June 2010
-fix crap code from bad svn merge that slipped into 4.18.0, triggering
exceptions in MDA_external configs. Thanks: Paul Howarth.

29 June 2010
-fix missing import introduced in 4.18.0. Thanks: Paul Howarth.

26 June 2010
-update broken link in FAQ. Thanks: Stefan Kangas.
-strip a few extra problematic (on non-Unix systems) characters when
generating oldmail filenames; backslash was requested by Andy Ross.
If upgrading and your current oldmail file contains any of these
characters:
\ ; < > |
... then rename it, replacing runs of one or more of those characters with
a single "-".
-improve clarity of message logged by getmail when an external program exits
0 but getmail considers it failed because it wrote to stderr. Thanks:
Chris Dennis.

30 April 2010
-change to how getmail counts messages in an IMAP mailbox; prevents problems
where getmail would only see the first 500 messages in a mailbox with some
IMAP servers that return oddball responses to SELECT. Thanks: David Damerell.
