| DESCRIPTION OF ENHANCEMENTS |
MailMan patch XM*7.1*65 addresses a problem experienced on FORUM.
This patch adds a restriction to addressing groups with authorized senders,
namely, remote senders cannot send mail to such groups.
===========================================================================
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.
===========================================================================
INSTALLATION:
1. DSM Sites: If any of these routines is mapped, disable mapping for the
affected routine(s).
2. On the PackMan menu, use the 'INSTALL/CHECK MESSAGE' option. This loads
the patch into a Transport Global on your system.
3. On the KIDS:Installation menu, use the following options to install the
Transport Global:
Verify Checksums in Transport Global

for the group, one of which is POSTMASTER. The background job which receives
messages from remote sites has its XMDUZ set to .5, which is the POSTMASTER.
So MailMan considered this remote sender to be authorized to address the
group. This is not acceptable.
