- What's new in PMPOP v1.1?
-
- PMPOP 1.1 has a number of enhancements over the original 1.0 release,
- including the following:
-
- * A Packet-driver version is now provided as well as a version for
- Novell's LAN Workplace for DOS stack. The Packet driver version
- should work with almost any packet driver and I have had reports
- that it will work with a SLIP packet driver, although I have not
- been able to substantiate this.
-
- * The documentation has been substantially improved, and the
- installation process for most users will be considerably simpler
- than for 1.0.
-
- * It is now possible to set your "From" address to any value; as a
- balancing point to this, PMPOP now will not send mail at all unless
- it can login successfully to the POP3 account you specify first; it
- will write the POP3 account address into the "Sender" field of the
- message as a form of security measure to guard against malicious
- forgery.
-
- * PMPOP can now be forced to run in standalone mode on NetWare
- systems by modifying its command line so that a "-a" switch is
- present, just as with Pegasus Mail itself.
-
- * PMPOP can now be configured without the TCP/IP stack actually being
- present in memory. Operation will only fail if an attempt is made
- to perform an action which actually requires the stack.
-
-
- Known problems in this release
-
- Release 1.1 of PMPOP should be very stable. The only known problem at
- this stage is a glitch in the way sockets are closed which may result
- in slight reliability problems on very slow links (a 2400bps SLIP
- link may be the sort of candidate for this problem). This will
- hopefully be corrected in a future release.
