Nevertheless, there are sure to be systems about +for ages that require the use of the old API. Therefore, we will have to +implement not only an interface to the new API, but a backwards compatibility +feature. It would be nice if this was automatic. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------ + +(339) 28-Jul-05 S Log name of maildir file + +This wish is for an option to log the name of the file that is written in +maildir format (e.g. time.pid.host). +------------------------------------------------------------------------------ + +(340) 30-Aug-05 M Match more than one item + +match_address, for instance, matches one address to a list. The wish is to be +able to supply two lists; for each address in the first list, search the +second. Maybe something like ${match_any{...}{...}} is needed. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------ + +(341) 15-Sep-05 S Add /return_path_retain to submission mode + +This would re-instate the behaviour prior to change 4.52/TF/02. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------ + +(342) 26-Sep-05 T Log and maybe defer odd values for condition pre-condition + +Odd values for "condition" in an ACL cause it to defer. In a router, they are +treated as "true". At least they should be logged in a router, and perhaps they +should also defer, for compatibility with ACLs. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------ + +(343) 03-Oct-05 M A query-style lookup for scanning flat files + +The natural syntax for this would be to use a regex, like this: +${lookup regex{/some/file regex}{found-string}{not-found-string}} +------------------------------------------------------------------------------ + +(344) 10-Oct-05 M Make debug_print work in authenticators +------------------------------------------------------------------------------ +--- HWM 344 ------------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------------- End of WishList ---------------------------------
