[vPostMaster] New public release: 1.44.

[Sean Reifschneider]

We've released version 1.44 of the public vPostMaster code.  We're going to
see what the feedback on that is and if it looks good we've planned a
release of the commercial version July 1.  The 4th is Friday, so that will
give a few days that it's available before the holiday weekend.

Mostly this consists of small bug-fixes or work-arounds.  The biggest
enhancement is that there's an extra database set that's been made so that
the web user interface can be used to track additional information, such as
"this user is a dial-up user as well", to allow central storage of more
information about users.

Here is the changelog for the 1.44 release:

   ================================
   Version 1.44 -- Wed Jun 18, 2008

   Setting up Apache config file on Debian/Ubuntu for mailman.
   Fixing issue with the squirrelmail config file being incorrectly written.
   Adding support for Ubuntu Hardy.
   Fixing spec file for man page installation file name.
   Changing the schema to include the mailman system user name.
   Code to get mydestination for new domain creation.
   Fixing the e-mail address validation in the Forward field of the user page.
   Adding "extra" values for non-mail attributes that can be set on users.
         This allows an administrator to set other administrative values on
         users such as "is a dial-up user" to use the vPostMaster database for
         other accounting-types of things.  Funded by Egyptian Internet.
   Fixing exception logging if stdout pipe is broken.
   Making SPF check compatible with SPF version 2.
   Fixing bug: SPF if set to quarantine was actually doing reject.
         Reported by Wallace Winfrey
   Changing the forward regex to allow upper and lower case characters, and be
         more RFC compliant.  Suggested by Dan Sully, regex by Scott Kleihege
   Extension character can now be empty as well as + or -.
   Adding setup-mailman to set up the mailman values in the meta table.
   Fixing .spec code that adds vPostMaser to mailman group on upgrade of RPMs.

You should be able to update by doing a "yum update" or "apt-get
dist-upgrade".  We have pushed out packages for Ubuntu Hardy and Dapper and
CentOS/RHEL.  I also pushed out versions to the older Fedora releases we
had packaged for (2-6).

Thanks,
Sean
