Status report of recent work

Hoi,

I worked a bit on masqmail these days and want to inform you about it.
Also I ask you to try the latest version to detect possible errors.

I refactored various stuff in deliver.c, route.c, and especially
alias.c (restructurated the alias expanding code, actually).

I fixed the old issue of not being able to use AUTH if the server's
SMTP greeting didn't contain the word ``ESMTP''. See [0]. Today
Steffen (aka inne) pointed me onto this issue again as he is suffering
from it currently. I promptly dig into it and solved it by adjusting
masqmail's behavior to be RFC 2821/5321 (section 3.2) compliant. What
better achievement can one expect? ;-) Now masqmail always says EHLO,
only if this fails it will try HELO as fall back.

I expect to release a new version somewhen in the next weeks. Hence it
would be great if you could check out the latest version from the repo
and give it a try.

    hg clone http://hg.marmaro.de/masqmail

Note that the ChangeLog file isn't updated yet. Please refer to the
repo changelog. One important change is the rename of the config
option `alias_local_caseless' to `caseless_matching'. The script
`admin/config-transition' already detects the change. I recommend to
run it on your config:

    admin/config-transition -v /etc/masqmail/*
