DESCR:
mairix is a program for indexing and searching email messages stored in
Maildir, MH or mbox folders. The search mode populates a "virtual"
maildir (or MH) folder with symlinks which point to the real messages.
This folder can be opened as usual in your mail program.

The hashcash tool allows you to create hashcash stamps to attach to
emails you send, and to verify hashcash stamps attached to emails you
receive. Email senders attach hashcash stamps with the X-Hashcash:
header. A hashcash stamp constitutes a proof-of-work which takes a
parameterizable amount of work to compute for the sender. The
recipient can verify received stamps efficiently.

kpoppassd is a kerberos password changing daemon that behaves like
poppassd. It allows a user to change his/her password remotely without
having to login. This is particularly useful for webmail systems that
use imap (i.e. horde/imp). The daemon works exactly like the original
poppassd. The only difference being that this poppassd changes a user's
Kerberos 5 password.

mlmmj is a mailing list manager with the same functionality as the
brilliant ezmlm, but with a decent license and mail server independency.

imapproxy keeps the connection to an IMAP server open after a client
logs out and reuses it when the client connects again. This is mostly
useful for webmail clients.
From Holger Mauermann <holger@mauermann.org>
relevant part of ChangeLog:
make getmail less conservative about remembering messages as already-seen
when unrelated errors occur after successfully delivering them
archivemail is a tool written in python(1) for archiving and compressing
old email in mailboxes. By default it will read the mailbox MAILBOX,
moving messages that are older that the specified number of days (180 by
default) to a mbox-format mailbox in the same directory that is
compressed with gzip(1). archivemail supports reading IMAP, Maildir, MH
and mbox-format mailboxes, but it will always write archive files to
mbox-format mailboxes that are compressed with gzip(1)

* A buffer overflow which occurred when displaying a message with
attachments which have MIME-encoded filenames was fixed.
* A possible crash on re-edit of messages was fixed.

msmtp is an SMTP client. In the default mode, msmtp transmits a mail to
an SMTP server which does the delivery.

The Cyrus IMAP server differs from other IMAP server implementations in
that it is generally intended to be run on sealed servers, where normal
users are not permitted to log in. The mailbox database is stored in
parts of the filesystem that are private to the Cyrus IMAP system. All
user access to mail is through the IMAP, POP3, or KPOP protocols.

help & ok naddy@, thanks!
from ChangeLog:
-previously, for safety, getmail would re-retrieve messages after a session
that encountered errors. However, getmail had enough information to safely
remember those messages that had been successfully delivered. This behaviour
has been changed, to avoid delivering duplicate messages where it isn't
necessary. Thanks: Thomas Schwinge.
-in output/log files, getmailrc files are now specified only by filename,
instead of by complete paths. This will prevent some overly-long output
lines.
-previously, if an SSL POP3 or IMAP server abruptly closed the connection
before getmail could finish logging in, getmail would exit instead of
proceeding to the next configured mail account. Fixed. Thanks: Matthias
Andree, Frank Benkstein, Thomas Schwinge.
-eliminate duplicate Return-Path: header fields. Thanks: Angles Puglisi.
DRAC (Dynamic Relay Authorization Control) is a daemon that dynamically
updates a relay authorization map for sendmail. It provides a way to
allow legitimate users to relay mail through an SMTP server, while still
preventing others from using it as a spam relay. User's IP addresses are
added to the map immediately after they have authenticated to the POP or
IMAP server. By default, map entries expire after 30 minutes, but can be
renewed by additional authentication. Periodically checking mail on a
POP server is sufficient to do this. The POP and SMTP servers can be on
different hosts.

This fixes lots of bugs and at least the security issues noticed in
CAN-2005-0021 and CAN-2005-0022.
based on a diff from "Andrey N. Oktyabrski" <ano at antora.ru>
from Changelog:
-add BrokenUIDLPOP3Retriever class to support servers that do not implement
the UIDL command, or which fail to uniquely identify messages using it.
-some IMAP errors would cause getmail to raise an exception, instead of
gracefully proceeding with the next configured mail account. Fixed.
Thanks: Matthias Andree.
