Recent releases


Changes: This release fixes a memory reallocation problem in smtpc. When sending out more then one mail message at once, the memory was not properly reallocated after sending the first message, which meant that all messages bigger than the first one were truncated to the length of the first message.


Changes: Fixes incorrect retrying to establish STLS connections in pop3c. Borland C can now be used to compile aardmail. The default policy for certificate verification to has been changed to paranoid'; peer certificates can be verified using a locally stored certificate. Compile issues on BSD have been fixed, and a Makefile for BSD has been added. An absolutely minimalistic sendmail has been added An SMTP client has been added; authentication is done using a client cert. An (ugly) plaintext reconnect on TLS failure (if wanted by the user) has been added.
Uses rsync to manage archives of clients across multiple logical partitions.
