g_ssl_ciphers
"EECDH+AES:EDH+AES:-SHA1:EECDH+RC4:EDH+RC4:RC4-SHA:EECDH+AES256:EDH+AES256:AES256-SHA:!aNULL:!eNULL:!EXP:!LOW:!MD5"

repeat migrations, tellmail cleanup_all user@domain.name c:\\duplicates\\user
- Security Alert: A bug fixed in 6.3d-29 of SurgeMail might
have allowed security credentials to leak from a surgeweb account setup to use
multiple accounts such that one of the other accounts in the list would also
have access to the group of multiple accounts. If you use multiple
accounts and this might be an issue check by logging into the other accounts to
see if surgeweb brings up the entire list of accounts. This fault does NOT
allow users without credentials to get them.
- 6.5b-3 Made imap_import obey old_imaphost_skip setting.

Surgemail 6.4b
- 6.4b-62 Changed crash handling slightly. Added some
logging for blog stuff to find performance issue....
- 6.4b-60 Changed blog lock handling code, added setting
g_debug_timing to track disk IO usage. Added g_hacker_weak to automatically
block ip addresses of people trying to login with a weak password...
- 6.4b-59 Changed status display for avastpipe option. Added
command to MOVE duplicate mesageid's from a users inbox
- (Use if a migration results in multiple coppies of a message
in a users inbox) tellmail inbox_cleanup user@xyz.com /var/dups
- 6.4b-56 Optimized friends_always so it won't append to friend
lists that exceed 1mb.. Increased g_thread_max and g_pop_max defaults
slightly.
- 6.4b-55 Added hacker seting G_SPAM_USER_BADTO which limits
bad recipients for an authenticated user, if exceeded then sending is paused for
30 minutes. A value of 50 might be reasonable as normal users would never
exceed that. A value as low as 10 might be workable. Whitelist
accounts using: G_SPAM_USER_SKIP. An email is sent to the manager account when
this limit is hit!
- 6.4b-54 Improved mutex crash handling slightly to avoid a
possible deadlock. NFS fix reverted as the real fault was something else
probably related to the system in question and this change simply revealed the
issue (or made it worse :-)
- 6.4b-52 Added support for cram-md5 for pop protocol. (Not
recommended, in general ssl/tls is a better choice)
- 6.4b-51 Fixed bug with imap import/migration where it could
remove messages that had failed to import. Also fixed fault with handling of
timeout reset (keep alive) messages from exchange which could confuse the
migration code. Also improved migration code so it would re login if the server
disconnects it while it's fetching messages for a migration.
- 6.4b-50 Made replies to replies to encrypted messages be
encrytped by default by surgeweb...
- 6.4b-49 Fixed fault with nfs drives and burst 'renaming' loop
if file size is reported incorrectly by nfs. (REVERTED IN 6.4b-53)
- 6.4b-47 Fixed fault with 1.00 spam rules.
- 6.4b-46 Fixed fault with multiple pop sessions reading the
same message at the same time.
- 6.4b-45 Fixed quota for accounts migrated via imap.
Added tellmail command tellmail user_setfield user@domain field value
- 6.4b-44 Added support for g_sf_binary manual rule with value
of 1.00 which will mean 'is definitely spam'. Also changed ifnew setting
to work for domains.
- 6.4b-43 Added g_authent_addip to add the ip address as the
3rd parameter to the authent check from imap/pop logins - not for general use.
- 6.4b-42 Added prefixing for x-myrbl header. (corrects spam
handling on messages from surgemail systems)
- 6.4b-41 improved handling for multi line smtp errors (gmail).
- 6.4b-40 added encrypt_ifnew setting to enable the
verify/trust option in surgeweb.
- 6.4b-39 Fixed bug in expire rules, if a time greater than
about 50 years is specified then it would cause an overflow and expire
everything.
- 6.4b-39 Made surgevault display cc/to correctly matching
original message.
- 6.4b-38 Added g_inbox_archive, g_sent_archive and domain
level setting inbox_archive, these specifies the age at which messages should be
moved out of the inbox/sent folder into the appropriate Archives/YYYY/Inbox (or
Sent) folder. This can dramatically improve system and perceived
performance as imap email clients waste a lot of resources and time dealing with
large inbox/sent folders. You can manually trigger the nightly
process with the command tellmail mail_rules
- 6.4b-36 Fixed fault in ip to country code, it was failing to
match some ranges correctly
- 6.4b-19 Fixed intermittent failure to recognize non fake
bounce messages due to mime encoding.
- 6.4b-18 Fixed bug in domain quota message which would have no
subject and fail to tell the user that it was a 'domain' quota issue if a
quota.eml template does exist and a quota_domain.eml template doesn't exist.
- 6.4b-17 Added setting for max items in a folder to mirror,
and increased default to 160000 g_mirror_max
- 6.4b-16 Fixed logging issue on startup, fixed problem with
Legal Archive bucket name change so it always uses the correct old and new
bucket names.
- 6.4b-15 Fixed fault with invalid reverse DNS entries allowing
spam through.
- 6.4b-13 Made CSR signing use SHA1 instead of MD5 since some
signing authorities now complain about MD5. The setting to do this is now
ignored!
- 6.4b-13 Made Legal Archive use native Amazon instead of
DevPay (this will reduce costs long term and makes the files visible via your
Amazon console), if upgrading you must enter a key pair from your amazon
account and then use the tellmail la_transfer command to move data to your main
s3 data area.
- 6.4b-12 Fixed fault with quota handling that would in some
situations allow a user to get multiple quota warnings in one day.
- 6.4b-10 Added setting to throttle ssl renegotiation (not
generally recommended)
- 6.4b-8 Added G_SPAM_USER_WARN, used to set a warning
point, if the user sends this many messages in one day, then they get an email
warning them to change their password or ask for a higher send limit if they
were actually sending that many messages. The setting
g_spam_user_max must also be set (and to a higher value!)
- 6.4b-7 Added g_create_pass_recheck, combined with
g_hack_touser it will alert users with passwords that don't match your 'current'
password requirements and ask them to change them.
- 6.4b-7 Removed legacy code writing to surgehost.ini unless
g_webmail_save is set true. (Fixes deadlock issue)
- 6.4b-5 Fixed problem whereby one bad ssl certificate would
prevent some or all ssl certificates from loading, also improved logging so
mail.err reports which certificate is bad.
- 6.4b-4 Removed possible deadlock in vini error logging
(occurs rarely when surgemail.ini contains syntax errors)
- 6.4b-2 Added header decoding to mfilter subject.
- 6.4b-1 New Beta Release (May 7th, 2013)
- (Dkim bug fix related to leading full stops)
SurgeMail 6.3d
- 6.3d-80 Automatically skip several known bad rbl servers
(njabl.org and trusted-forwarders.org)
- 6.3d-79 Fixed exception rules to use headers added during
processing as well as those in the message.
- 6.3d-78 Fixed imap search on command
- 6.3d-77 Added G_ENCRYPT_RESET_SENDER to define message
sent to 'sender' when password reset is requested.
- Added g_virus_report_user, if enabled the recipient is sent a
message when a virus is blocked, this setting is not recommended for normal use
as in general telling recipients about viruses they didn't get is just
irritating :-)
- 6.3d-76 Added some logging to track nightly load issue
- 6.3d-75 Fixed devide by zero in cimap_detect_loops if time
goes backwards one second.
- 6.3d-74 Added domain level settings status_url
- 6.3d-73 Made g_smtp_maxbad 1000 the default, and added delay
for bad commands to prevent wasted cpu.
- 6.3d-73 Added G_HACKER_PASSWORD which detects hackers and
blocks them from guessing, it detects if the username is used as the password
guess.
- 6.3d-69 Performance bug fixed in surgeweb, added in
6.3d-62
- 6.3d-63 Changed default domainkey size to 1024 (it was 2048
which made annoyingly large keys) Also added input field so you can specify this
when generating your dkim private key.
- 6.3d-62 Corrected quota exceed smtp return code from 554 to
552
- 6.3d-56 Fixed G_VIRUS_ALLOW_UNMONITORABLE for non windows
systems
- 6.3d-54 Added g_date_add_utc to add utc timezone if none
specified
- 6.3d-43 Added mdir_delete function to http netauth functions
(see accounts.htm)
- 6.3d-20 Added setting g_user_access_webonly, if set then user
access rules like 'spam,filter,virus' only stop the web user interface (so users
cannot mess with settings) but doesn't stop the action of spam,virus checking
etc for that user.
- Fixed slow memory leak in pop/migration import.
- 6.3d-19 Added config checker code to test g_dns_host with a
couple of rbl and mx lookups. Note using a public dns like google's 8.8.8.8
servers will stop rbl lookups working correctly, you must use a real local dns
server (your isp will almost certainly be providing one)
- 6.3d-18 Fixed crash in fedora (or new glibc) due to crypt()
returning null on bad input. (fix is in nwauth and surgemail)
- 6.3d-17 Added Message-ID to expire messages.
- 6.3d-17 Fixed fault with ucount2.dat growing very large when
deleting a large domain.
- 6.3d-17 Added options to user creation API to create folders
and populate mdir folder with files. New options are
&create_folders=Folder1,Folder2&mdir_copy=xmdir_template, this would create
Folder1, Folder2, And it would copy (surgemail root)/xmdir_template files into
the new users 'mdir' folder.
- 6.3d-16 Fixed problem with SurgeWall domains not applying
blocklist entries. Revert behaviour with G_SURGEWALL_IGNORE_ERROR
- 6.3d-15 Fixed slow memory leak in imap list command.

for ipv6 rules, fixed
- encrypt reply messages double line spacing issue.Fixed bug with /bind in gateway setting causing bad dns
lookups.
- Fixed problem with resync_config on a new mirror destroying
an existing ini file if the first attempt to sync fails.
- 6.3d-10 Increased size of sf_mfilter scanning to 40k to help
with spam filtering..Added g_migrate_onsmtp, if true it will do a migration if a
user does an smtp login as well as pop / imap...
- Fixed problem with imap envelope response for very long list of recipients. recipients.

- New: g_sms_forward -
This setting allows you to specify IP's which can send to an
sms="TRUE" gateway without being authenticated. Normally only
smtp authenticated senders can use these because we need to be
sure the sender really is the person sending, not someone faking
their address (in order to decrement the correct users quota).
However, if you can already guarantee the sender, or you don't
care then you can use this setting. This allows your list server
(dlist) to send to SMS numbers, for example.
- New: surgewall_auth -
user="username" pass="password" - Makes SurgeMail use SMTP AUTH
when delivering to the SurgeWalled server.

nwauth entries + users mail, not any originally deleted domain
settings, aliases and mailing lists)

domainkeys)

- This disables the logging of lines to the users friends.log
files (the users "log" page).
- New: g_friends_old -
restores old friends behaviour
- New: g_spf_byweb -
Description below in g_friends_byweb
- New: g_friends_byweb
- These settings enable the use of a link to "allow" bounced
and/or friends pending messages. The link returns a page with a
verification image, the user enters the number shown and clicks
"Add IP" or "Release message" depending on the context. In the
case of spf allow, this link _replaces_ the allow email address
in the bounce message error string. In the case of friends, this
link is added to the friends confirmation message
(default) and the option to add it to the custom message appears
on the custom message page.
- New: g_late_forward -
described below in late_forward
- New: late_forward -
These force late forwarding and hide the user option on the
forwarding page that chooses whether to get it or not. If the
user has already selected late forwarding setting either of
these will not clear that, even if they load and save the
forwarding page. Disabling these settings later will revert it
back to the users previous personal setting as you'd expect.
- New: tellmail list_rcpt - Attempts to list all valid receipt
addresses for the server
- New: tellmail dropfile_import user@domain c:\inbox\fred\mail -

- New: tellmail bull_fwd [domain] - This searches the authent
database, locates all the accounts which forward to a non-local
address (and do not also deliver locally or deliver to a robot
or responder) and emails them all the bulletins they have not
yet received.
- New: Support for multiple webadmins added - "surgemail
-admin_add"
- New: added mirroring of mfilter.dat and simple.rul files
- New: domainkey web admin interface page added
- New: g_msg_log_extra
- The setting causes extra logging in the msg.log files, it logs
user logins and imap fetch commands (to match the existing pop
retr ones).
- New: You can now setup an auto response message and have it
automatically turn off after a set period of time.
- New: tellmail can now use SSL for connections - use -ssl on
the command line.
- New: forward message if smaller than xx (added to end user
interface). If a message arrives which is larger than the
specified size, it's not forwarded, it's delivered locally and a
notification message is sent in it's place. This feature is
especially useful to people who are forwarding email to pda
devices with limited storage.
- New: "match exactly", "does not contain", "does not match
exactly" in filters in end user interface.
This feature only works if you use late forwarding (the
interface makes this clear).
- Change: g_forward_illegal
- Rules only apply to non local domains now.
- Change: g_spam_allow
& g_con_perip_except
changed to multi settings.
- Change: Instead of sending a confirmation (to a possibly faked
address, which would then be considered spam and cause you to be
blacklisted by spamcop or similar) it gave a 554 error. It did
this if the message did not contain spf headers with "pass" in
them. In other words it did this when spf was disabled or when
spf failed. It has been changed so that it only does it when spf
is enabled and fails.
- Change: On startup SurgeMail scans the mail queue, if this
takes more than 10 seconds it skips the rest and makes an
estimate.

- Fix: crash in domain keys code.
- Fix: rare admin bug that stopped the admin showing any values
for settings.
- Fix: If machine A had a unique setting then changes on machine
B would cause that setting to be removed from the config on A.
- Fix: DNS invalid domain - If a dns lookup failed due to a
timeout, then the next lookup for the same domain would fail as
if the domain didn't exist instead of with a timeout error.

g_proxy_to_gateways the pop proxy was not being used for users
in domains which do not exist in the config file (i.e. all of
