Releases
Weasel 0.3!
|
Peter Moylan,
author of FtpServer, just releases new version of Weasel!
OK, here's the long-awaited new version of Weasel. There have been some radical
changes, so the SMTP support should work properly now. (The radical changes are
the reason why this version took so long to produce.)

If you haven't yet picked up a copy of TZSet, you might as well fetch that too.
LIST OF CHANGES
Version 0.3
Mail relaying permitted for trusted hosts. (This is the
biggest change - I had to add a major subsystem for
dealing with outgoing mail.)
Locked mailboxes automatically unlocked at startup.
New "wildcard" syntax for domain names in Setup.
General overhaul of everything.
Version numbering system changed.
Why should you use Weasel as your mail server? Simple: IBM's sendmail.dll is
189K bytes in size. Weasel.exe is less than 83K bytes (and that's including the
POP server, which sendmail doesn't have). The reduced memory demand means less
swapping. Weasel also seems to use less processor time than sendmail, although
I haven't tested this in detail.
You'll notice a change in the version numbering system - this is version 0.3, not
0.03. I decided that my previous numbering system was too conservative. FtpServer
is now almost a year old, and we're still not up to version 1.0. Some people won't
trust anything with version numbers less than 1.
When I release the first non-beta version of Weasel, I'll probably call it version
3.51.
