1.1.2 (Someday, 2011)

POPFile v1.1.2 is not released yet.

*** POPFile 1.1.2 (Someday, 2011) ***

Welcome to POPFile v1.1.2

POPFile is an email classification tool with a Naive Bayes classifier, POP3,
SMTP, NNTP proxies and IMAP filter and a web interface. It runs on most
platforms and with most email clients.

This upgrade introduces some new features and fixes some bugs. The minimal Perl
used by the Windows version has been upgraded and as a result Windows 9x,
Windows Millennium and Windows NT are no longer officially supported.

WHAT'S CHANGED SINCE v1.1.2

1. New features

Magnets with whole e-mail address (e.g. [email protected]) now matches only the
exact same address. The domain magnets (example.com, @example.com and
.example.com) are also supported. (ticket #76)

The search/bucket filter part of the History tab can be hilighted when they are
used. You can enable this option by editing new option in the Advanced tab.
Its name is 'html_search_filter_highlight'. (ticket #149)


2. Windows version improvements

Windows version now installs SSL support by default. (ticket #153)


3. Mac OS X version improvements

( no improvements yet )


4. Other improvements

( no improvements yet )


5. Bug fixes

Fixed a bug that POPFile ignored part of message body if the mesage is encoded
in Quited-Printable and a soft line break (=) exists at the end of its body.
(ticket #130)

Fixed a bug that POPFile wrongly treated some continuation of numbers as IP
addresses. (ticket #127)

Fixed a bug the utility scripts remove some entries of the configuration file
(popfile.cfg). (ticket #135)

Avoid some Perl warnings.

GETTING STARTED WITH POPFILE

An introduction to installing and using POPFile can be found in the QuickStart
guide:

  http://getpopfile.org/docs/QuickStart

SSL SUPPORT IN WINDOWS

** This part should be rewritten. **

SSL Support is offered as one of the optional components by the installer. If
the SSL Support option is selected the installer will download the necessary
files during installation.

If SSL support is not selected when installing (or upgrading) POPFile or if the
installer was unable to download all of the SSL files then POPFile's
"Add/Remove Programs" entry can be used to add SSL support to an existing
installation.

TWO VERSIONS RELEASED FOR MAC OS X

There are two versions of installer.
One is for Snow Leopard, and another is for the former versions of Mac OS X.
The name of Snow Leopard installer will have '-sl' suffix.

I AM USING THE CROSS PLATFORM VERSION

POPFile requires a number of Perl modules that are available from CPAN. You
will need:

  Date::Parse
  HTML::Template
  HTML::Tagset
  DBD::SQLite (or DBD::SQLite2)
  DBI
  TimeDate

You can install all the required POPFile modules by getting the Bundle::POPFile
bundle from CPAN.

Please refer to the installation instructions on the POPFile wiki:

 http://getpopfile.org/docs/HowTos:CrossPlatformInstall

Japanese users may need to install some extra programs and Perl modules,
depending upon which Nihongo parser (wakachi-gaki program) they wish to use.
For more information about how to install them, see the POPFile wiki:

 http://getpopfile.org/docs/JP:HowTos:CrossPlatformInstall

KNOWN ISSUES

POPFile now supports IPv4 only.
(IPv6 is not supported yet.)

CROSS PLATFORM VERSION KNOWN ISSUES

Users of SSL on non-Windows platforms should NOT use IO::Socket::SSL v0.97 or
v0.99. They are known to be incompatible with POPFile; v1.40 is the most recent
release of IO::Socket::SSL that works correctly.

WINDOWS KNOWN ISSUES

1. ON WINDOWS I WANT TO CHECK MULTIPLE EMAIL ACCOUNTS SIMULTANEOUSLY.

Because the time taken to start a new process on Windows is long under Perl
there is an optimization for Windows that is present by default: when a new
connection is made between your email program and POPFile, POPFile handles it
in the 'parent' process. This means the connect happens fast and mail starts
downloading very quickly, but it means that you can only download messages from
one server at a time (up to 6 other connections will be queued up and dealt
with in the order they arrive) and the UI is unavailable while downloading
email.

You can turn this behavior off (and get simultaneous UI/email access and as
many email connections as you like) on the Configuration panel in the UI by
making sure that "Allow concurrent POP3 connections:" is Yes, or by specifying
--set pop3_force_fork=1 on the command line.

The default behaviour (no concurrent POP3 connections) can cause email clients
to time out if several accounts are being checked (because POPFile only handles
one account at a time it can take a while to process all of the accounts).

If SSL support is being used then the default setting (no concurrent POP3
connections) _MUST_ be used otherwise POPFile returns an error message.
