Can't build on Mac --- mising define

2009-07-16T03:30:16Z

Downloaded to my Mac, ./configure worked fine. But compilation failed with the error

../libmail/libmail_intl.h:49: error: ‘HOST_NAME_MAX’ undeclared here (not in a function)

Looking around, it turns out that HOST_NAME_MAX is not defined on the Mac platform. Instead there is something called _POSIX_HOST_NAME_MAX

Apparently this can be added to the configure process but I regret I don't know enough about that process to do it myself.

A mailbox specified as directory is considered valid

2009-03-29T11:38:22Z

mbox_check(), when fopen's mbox->file it doesn't check whether mbox->file is really a file or not, thus a user may specify a dir as his mailbox and mbox_check() opens it and reports 0 new and total messages

memory leak in sasl_get_* callbacks

2009-03-26T19:26:28Z

Memory for user and password which are filled through SASL callbacks are not freed

Segmentation fault in pop3.c:get_timestamp()

2009-03-08T11:37:01Z

A segmentation fault will occur when the user chooses to authenticate himself through APOP and the server doesn't support it. pop3.c:get_timestamp() assumes that there is a message-id like timestamp in the server greeting

More efficient MD5 digest calculation

2009-03-03T20:44:09Z

The MD5 digest calculation code has many macros defined resulting in code duplication

More descriptive man pages

2009-03-03T20:40:19Z

man pages should be the definitive guide for developers who want to link their applications against libmail, examples should also be given and endpeer_t must be documented

MD5 calculation is not endianess-safe

2009-03-02T11:25:53Z

When a user is using POP3 in conjuction with APOP in a big-endian architecture, the MD5 digest issued with the APOP command is not correct resulting in authorization failure. The problem is in md5sum.c marked with the commend 'endianess-unsafe snippet'
