| DESCRIPTION OF ENHANCEMENTS |
MailMan patch XM*7.1*59 addresses problems caused during remote transmission
If the 'from' string contains illegal characters, the 'from' string will be
enclosed in quotes.
The local site will not see the change in the 'from' string.
The receiving site will see the change.
For example:
'National Patch Module' will become '"National Patch Module"'
'<Patient Feedback Pkg>' will become '"Patient Feedback Pkg"'
when a message's 'from' address contains illegal characters.
Messages from users will continue to be treated as usual. That is, if the
user's name contains ',' or ' ', all ', .' will become '._+'.
If the user's name contains any other illegal characters, such as '()',
the entire user's name will be enclosed in quotes.
===========================================================================
This patch should be installed after-hours, when user activity is at a
minimum. You should put the XMUSER option out of order. The filers should
be shut down.
===========================================================================
