Internet Mail Server update history

* Internet Mail Server updates history *
****************************************

Coming soon
-----------
* DNS support to avoid the need of a relay server (main mail hub).
  Supporting the MX records will allow to directly send to the
  recipient's server (not via an ISP's mail relay).

Version: 98-29 - Date: 20/04/1998
---------------------------------
* The firewall allows you to refuse too large messages:
  + The "Server, Firewall..., Max. message size" parameter controls
    the maximum size of message which are relayed via the server
    (message which are addressed to an unknown domain).
  + The "Server, Domains, Edit settings..., Max. message size"
    parameter control the maximum message size for a specific domain.
  Max. message size = 0 indicates that any size is accepted.
  Because SMTP can send a message to multiple addresses, the server
  compare the actual message size to the greater accepted size
  (depending on the domains addressed by this message). 
  A future version will also announce and control size by using the
  ESMTP protocol.

Version: 98-27 - Date: 16/04/1998
---------------------------------
* Firewall/Anti-spamming: A smart checking is now available.
  If one or more acceptation condition is met, the message is accepted, 
  otherwise it is rejected. 
  + The server accepts mail from anywhere if it is addressed to a 
    "known domain". 
  + The server accepts mail to anywhere, if it is sent from a 
    "known host". 
  + The server accepts mail to anywhere, if it is sent from a 
    "known domain". 
  The rejected message can optionally be redirected to another address.

  The following section must be added to previous versions
