On February 18, 2002, Process Software released PMDF V6.1-1. These kits
contain all the patches available for PMDF V6.1 as of that date. For several
logistical reasons, the patches were not released individually. If you want
to run with the latest patches, install the PMDF V6.1-1 kit that is appropriate
for your platform.

The following fixes are included in PMDF V6.1-1:
- Fixed a problem with the pmdf popstore/msgstore modify -noquota (/NOQUOTA)
command not actually removing the account's quota. It now removes the
primary quota for the specified account correctly. (D/E 7167)
- You can now use -all (/ALL) with -count_users (/COUNT_USERS) on the pmdf
popstore/msgstore show command to show both popstore and MessageStore counts
at the same time. (D/E 7293)
- Filing into folders in MessageStore using fileinto now works. (D/E 7262)
- For the conversion channel, returning a value of (hex)0A9C857A from the
script (the value of PMDF__FORCERETURN in pmdf_err.h) causes PMDF to bounce
the original message back to the sender. An undocumented variation is to
return a value of (hex)0A9C857B, which causes PMDF to bounce back the first
20 lines of the message (that count includes the header lines), with any
modifications made by the conversion script (this is called "swap_payload"
in the sample virus scanning procedure for VMS). A new variation has been
added: return value (hex)0A9C8579, which causes PMDF to bounce back the
entire message with any modifications. This value also causes the text from
return_bounced.txt to be used in the delivery failure notification
instead of return_failed.txt. (D/E 7500, 7449)
- For the conversion channel, a previously undocumented return code
PMDF__FORCEDISCARD (hex)0A9C86B3 now works. If this is returned from the
conversion channel script, it will cause the message to be discarded.
(D/E 7282)
- The blackhole hosts used for the ENABLE_RBL option have been changed from the
defunct maps.vix.com to mail-abuse.org. (D/E 7435)
- Using the "body" SIEVE command in mailbox filter files to search message
bodies no longer causes the processing of the message to fail occasionally.
(D/E 7709)
- Fixed a problem with the "pmdf db write" command not properly writing alias
attributes to the destination file. [unix and windows] (D/E 7595)
- Fixed a problem with the "pmdf cleandb" utility trying to delete files used
by older versions of SleepyCat and not deleting the currently used __db.*
files. [unix and windows] (D/E 7661)
- Fixed a problem with "pmdf send -log" not printing any log messages.
[unix and windows] (D/E 7060)
- Two additional qualifiers have been added to the "pmdf shutdown" command.
"pmdf shutdown force" will cause all PMDF processes to be forcefully
terminated, while "pmdf shutdown wait" will not return control to the caller
until all PMDF processes have terminated on their own.CAUTION: Use of
"pmdf shutdown force" is not recommended. Especially on a heavily loaded
system, it can cause SleepyCat database problems. [unix only] (D/E 7284)
- Fixed a problem with the "pmdf restart" utility erroneously printing out an
error message stating that PMDF is still running and to use "pmdf restart".
[unix only] (D/E 7513)
- Fixed a problem with the "pmdf qm" (qm.user) utility not showing queued
messages when used by a non-privileged user. [unix only] (D/E 7338)
- Fixed a problem with getting an SCDB error when the "pmdf db" utility is run
by a non-privileged user. [unix only] (D/E 7532)
- Fixed a problem with getting an SCDB error when the "pmdf test -rewrite"
utility is run by a non-privileged user. It now prints an "insufficient
privileges" message. [unix only] (D/E 7532)
- Fixed a problem with core-dumps when using the "body" SIEVE command in
mailbox filter files to search message bodies. [solaris/sparc only]
(D/E 7225).
- Fixed a problem whereby extraneous shell processes would be listed on the
"pmdf process" command. [solaris only] (D/E 7404)
- On VMS, sometimes with the IMAP server that serves VMS MAIL, the
PMDF_IMAP.MAILBOX file could create multiple versions, and lose the
subscribed status of the user's folders. This has been fixed so that if the
existing PMDF_IMAP.MAILBOX file cannot be accessed, it will return an error
rather than create a new version of the file. [VMS only] (D/E 7117)
- Fixed a problem on VMS with pmdf popstore/msgstore writing output to
SYS$INPUT instead of the normal SYS$OUTPUT. They now correctly write output
to SYS$OUTPUT. You can now run pmdf popstore/msgstore from a command
procedure, and use "define sys$input file" to have pmdf popstore/msgstore
read commands from a file. [VMS only] (D/E 7550)
- On VMS, fixed a problem with running commands (expiry_command, etc) from the
CIRCUITCHECK facility. The problem can show up as many different VMS error
codes, such as "file not found". Commands now work. [VMS only] (D/E 7166)
- Fixed a problem with slow delivery of messages to popstore and MessageStore
accounts. [VMS only] (D/E 7724)
- Fixed a malformed dialog box during installation. [windows only] (D/E 7594)
- Fixed a problem with the return job not deleting data-failed files from the
TCP spool directories. [windows only] (D/E 7526)
- Fixed a problem that prevented the rebuilding of the popstore/MessageStore
user database using the "x-build-user-db" command. [windows only] (D/E 7484)
- Fixed a problem whereby the MessageStore channel image (msgstore_master)
would crash whenever a POP3 user authenticated themselves to the MessageStore
POP server at the same time a message was being delivered to their mailbox.
[windows only] (D/E 7625)
- Fixed problem preventing the PMDF counters from incrementing properly.
[windows only] (D/E 6980)
- Fixed a problem with the "pmdf qm -maint" command "directory -directory_tree"
not showing any queued messages. [windows only] (D/E 7339)
- Fixed a problem with outgoing mail getting stuck in the queue on Windows 2000
Service Pack 2. [Windows 2000 only] (D/E 7634)
- Fixed a problem with the "pmdf cache -rebuild" utility on Windows 2000 not
delivering queued messages. [Windows 2000 only] (D/E 7608)
- Fixed a problem with queued messages not showing up in "pmdf qm -maint"
on Windows 2000 after doing "pmdf cache -rebuild". [Windows 2000 only]
(D/E 7608)
