Changes: A mail message of size 0 is skipped now. The maildir_get_flags(), maildir_put_flags(), and maildir_has_flags() functions were introduced to manipulate maildir status flags in message filenames. Only the 'S' flag is used and set, but other retrieved flags will be kept intact. The LAST command now works. In a Maildir/ message with no body, the inheader flag is reset, so the next message doesn't show as corrupted. The password field size in the example MySQL table structure was increased from 32 to 64. The docs were updated to say that mysql-popper.conf is not to be used with -f.

Changes: This release adds a new MySQL field, MysqlLoginHostsField. to be able to login-restrict certain users to certain hosts on multiple POP box systems. It also implements an oldest-to-newest sort of the Maildir message list, and changes the flow of errored logins to the normal qpopper way to solve account probing. It fixes a rename() problem using Maildir over some NFS implementations, preferring now to use link()/unlink(), and fixes a problem with configure where failure to get the size for an unsigned long int resulted in success, but a failed compile.

Changes: This release replaces all instances of the PATH_MAX variable with hard-coded 256, as PATH_MAX isn't included by all platforms (especially Solaris), causing failed compiles. README.MYSQL and README.MAILDIR have been updated with information on how to report a problem or bug. Note that this version patch only works with qpopper 4.0.3/4.0.4; if you need 4.0.5 support, get 0.11.

Re: qpopper + mysql + encrypt() function
MYSQL's encrypt() function generates passwords the same as unix crypted ones, so you should choose the crypt password type in your mysql-popper.conf file.
