[Avcheck] Announce: avcheck-0.2

[Michael Tokarev]

I placed new release of avcheck to

  ftp://ftp.corpit.ru/pub/avpcheck/avcheck-0.2.tar.gz

This release contains some significant changes compared
to previous one, namely:

o added "mail injection" mode to avcheck so it can be
   used to submit virus-alert mails from infected script
   (yes, it now can act as little command-line smtp client)

o clear environment when executing `infected' script,
  and pass $SENDMAIL to it (avcheck uses itself in $SENDMAIL
  value if requested to deliver via smtp).  Ofcouse, this
  variable can be overwritten in `infected' script.

o actually switched to smtp mode by default (wanted to do
  so and updated docs, but not did that! ;)

o added -w waitfile option -- a flag: if waitfile exists,
  avcheck will not attempt to contact with antivirus, but
  will exit immediately with EX_TEMPFAIL code (and attempt
  will be retried by MTA) -- now this option can be used
  to safely reload/restart antivirus

There are some minor changes too, including German translation
by Fridtjof Busse <fridtjof@fbunet.de> -- thank you!

For now, I not included other scripts/examples sent to me,
in order to make a release faster (to correct a defect with
submission of virus-alerts -- there was no way to use
smtp from within `infected' script).

Enjoy!

Regards,
 Michael.

ChangeLog entry:

2001-08-13  Michael Ju. Tokarev  <mjt@corpit.ru>

        * Release 0.2
        * Actually switch to 127.0.0.1:25 by default (forgot it)
        * Rewrote mail "sending" part to cleanup things from
          previous "advanded" usage in avpcheck
        * Added "mail submission client" mode, so that avcheck itself
          can be used to submit virus-alert mail from `infected' script
          (-c option)
        * Strip environment before running `infected' script,
          and pass $SENDMAIL to it (program with arguments that
          can be used to submit mail into mailsystem without
          being checked for viruses)
        * Added "waitfile" (-w option) -- do not attempt to contact
          with antivirus daemon but return EX_TEMPFAIL if waitfile exists
          (see manpage for usage details)
        * some little cleanups of old unused code
        * minor manpage tweaks
        * added support for German virus-alert messages into infected.ex2
	  by Fridtjof Busse <fridtjof@fbunet.de> (and this script is huge
	  now, need to think how to add other languages...)
