[*] Use a .sig file to verify that the corresponding file (without the
.sig suffix) is intact.  First, be sure to download both the .sig file
and the corresponding tarball.  Then, run a command like this:

  gpg --verify mailfromd-8.7.tar.gz.sig

If that command fails because you don't have the required public key,
then run this command to import it:

  gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 3602B07F55D0C732

and rerun the 'gpg --verify' command.

New in this release
===================

* The --callout-socket option

New option --callout-socket=URL instructs mailfromd to use URL to pass
callout requests to the callout server listening on URL. It is
equivalent to the callout-url configuration statement, which it
overrides.

This option is used by mtasim to avoid clobbering the existing callout
sockets when starting new mailfromd instance.

* NS lookup NFL functions

This release implements the following new MFL functions:

number primitive_hasns (string DOM)
  Returns 1 if the domain DOM has at least one NS record and 0
  otherwise. Throws an error if DNS lookup fails.

require 'dns'
number hasns (string DOM)
  Same as above, but returns 0 on DNS lookup failures.

string getns (string DOM ; number RESOLVE, number SORT)

  Returns a whitespace-separated list of all the NS records for
  the domain DOM. If optional parameter RESOLVE is 1, the returned list
  contains IP addresses. Optional SORT controls whether the entries are
  sorted.

* Bugfixes
** Callout functions return true on checking the null return address (<>)
** Arguments in transaction between mailfromd and calloutd are quoted
** Avoid false failures in testsuite due to libadns warnings
** configure --with-dbm=T accepts any T supported by mailutils
** The 'dbdel' built-in silently ignores non-existing keys

Best regards,
Sergey
