Nail is a mail user agent derived from Berkeley Mail 8.1 and contains
builtin support for MIME messages. This means it can handle international
character sets as well as attachments. In recent system environments, nail
is Unicode/UTF-8 capable. It further contains some minor enhancements like
the ability to set a From: Address.

mailman changes:
- Implemented a guard against some reply loops and 'bot subscription
attacks. Specifically, if a message to -request has a Precedence:
bulk (or list, or junk) header, the command is ignored. Well-behaved
'bots should always include such a header.
- Changes to the configure script so that you can pass in the mail host
and web host by setting the environment variables MAILHOST and WWWHOST
respectively. configure will also exit if it can't figure out these
values (usually due to broken dns).
- Closed another minor cross-site scripting vulnerability.
perl module to manage MIME types
---
A start for a more detailed data-structure to keep knowledge about
various data types are defined by MIME. Some basic treatments with
mime types are implemented.
The first special data item is whether a data type is binary or
ascii. This is required for correctly encoding e-mail attachments,
and implemented for the Mail::Box v2.01 module.
Eliminate the ldap and mysql flavors - now this package generates
subpackages for the pop3 server, and also mysql, ldap and pgsql
authentication modules. Should make installing it from binary
packages significantly easier, and allow us to build less package
combinations.
Teapop is an RFC1939 and RFC2449 compliant POP3-server, which is quickly
gaining world-wide recognition. With its' flexible virtual domain support,
Teapop distinguishes itself from other POP3-servers. The possibility to
authenticate users in several different ways, for example
PostgreSQL-databases and Apache htpasswd files, lets Teapop adapt itself
to Your setup, rather than the other way around as with traditional
POP3-servers.
