RenAttach 0.13 (first public version)

RenAttach is an e-mail filter/processor that runs on a mail server. It
is designed to protect end users (particularly those using Windows) from
malicious e-mail attachments containing viruses or trojans. It does NOT
scan specifically for viruses, but rather renames e-mail attachments so
that they can not be accidentally executed. It handles both UU Encoded
and Mime encoded attachments. All incoming mail is instantly,
automatically filtered.

The source code is C++. This is designed to be put in a user's
".forward" file, so in fact root probably does not have to install this.
The program is rather fast and uses little memory during processing.

1. MIMEDefang 1.4 -- flexible mail scanner for virus/trojan protection

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

MIMEDefang is a MIME mail scanner designed to run on Linux or UNIX
systems, and intended mainly to protect Windows e-mail clients from
mail-borne viruses.  It can, however, be used for many other purposes,
such as restricting access to certain e-mail addresses to specific mail
relays, diverting large attachments to a Web server instead of keeping
them in the message, and so on.  MIMEDefang requires Sendmail 8.11.

MIMEDefang is available from:

        http://www.roaringpenguin.com/mimedefang

and is released under the GNU General Public License.

Changes since Version 1.3:

MIMEDefang now correctly handles encoded text inside MIME headers.
You are STRONGLY urged to upgrade to version 1.4.
