Revision history for Perl module Mail::Bulkmail. 3.02 Thu Jan 23, 2003 - Fixed a bug in envelope sending that I can't believe I managed to allow into the final release. (many thanks to Tim de Wolf for finding this and helping me isolate it) - fixed some documentation errors in the examples - now logs to ERRFILE if the server didn't accept an EHLO - doesn't skip current email address if there's an error on the previous one - fixed a ridiculously obscure bug that could manifest with an invalid Sender - headers weren't *quite* RFC 2822 compliant (they were still valid RFC 822) 3.01 Thu Jan 23, 2003 - Fixed an annoylingly old bug in setting the envelope header which could cause an invalid address to be sent (thanks to Joseph Brown for identifying this) - removed the debugging routine that required Data::Dumper 3.00 Mon Jan 20, 2003 - Componentized the code. (Mail::Bulkmail, Mail::Bulkmail::Dynamic, Mail::Bulkmail::Server, etc.) - Added multiple server support. - added support for timing out if there's no reply from a server - Finally fixed the damn Tz bug. - Cleaned up the code an awful lot. - General bug fixes, etc. - Brand spanking new docs. - Errors now return error codes as well as error text - should be fully RFC 2821 and RFC 2822 compliant - defaults now set in a conf file 2.05 Tues Oct 3, 2000 - Added envelope_limit accessor. - You can now set more defaults yourself. - Cleaned up the documentation a lot. - Re-wrote the date generation methods. They're now 5-10% faster and I fixed an *old* bug causing mail to sometimes appear to have been sent yesterday, or tomorrow. - Altered logging when using the envelope, see item GOOD, above. - Fixed a bug with undefined values in mailmerges 2.04 Tues Aug 29, 2000 - Added log_full_line flag. - Trusting is now more trusting. - Domains can once again be banned. - Error checking is done less often and in a slightly different order now - ->bulkmail now returns 1 on success. Doh. - Fixed an annoyingly subtle bug with construction of dynamic messages - Repaired a long-standing bug in the docs. 2.03 Tues Aug 22, 2000 - Tweaked the constructor - Enhanced the 'error' method so it can behave as a class method - Enhanced HFM - Enhanced the test suite - various bug fixes 2.01 Wed Aug 16, 2000 - Fixed a mindnumblingly dumb bug whereby merge and dynamic hashes weren't initialized. 2.00 Fri Aug 11, 2000 - Re-wrote everything. Literally _everything_. Total re-write. - Added in support for dynamic messaging. - Added in support for envelope sending. - Added in ability to import lists from more sources. - Mail::Bulkmail should now behave absolutely perfectly with -w and use strict. - Did I mention that this is a ground-up re-write? Your existing code will need to be tweaked slightly to use the new module. 1.11 Tue Nov 09, 1999 - Banned addresses now checks entire address case insensitively instead of leaving the local part alone. Better safe than sorry. - $self->fmdl is now used to split BULK_FILEMAP - Various fixes suggested by Chris Nandor to make -w shut up. - Changed the way to provide local maps to mail and bulkmail so it's more intuitive. 1.10 Wed Sep 08, 1999 - Several little fixes. - The module will now re-connect if it receives a 221 (connection terminated) message from the server. - Fixed a potential near-infinite loop in the _valid_email routine. - _valid_email now merrily strips away comments (even nested ones). :) - hfm (headers from message) method added. - fmdl (filemap delimiter) method added. 1.01 Wed Sep, 01, 1999 - Fixed a bug in the email validation routine which would cause the module to hang severely on certain malformed addresses. All is once again right with the world. - Altered default date generation to be RFC 1123 compliant (4 digit year) - changed date generation so that it adds a space after the comma after the day. This is because of a bug in Outlook that wouldn't recognize the date w/o the space. 1.00 Wed Aug 18, 1999 - First public release onto CPAN 0.93 Thu Aug 12, 1999 - Re-vamped the documentation substantially. 0.92 Thu Aug 12, 1999 - Started adding a zero in front of the version name, just like I always should have - Changed accessing of non-standard headers so that they have to be accessed and retrieved via the "headset" method. This is because methods cannot have non-word characters in them. From, Subject, and Precedence headers may also be accessed via headset, if you so choose. - AUTOLOAD now complains loudly (setting ->error and printing to STDERR) if it's called. .91 Wed Aug 11, 1999 - Fixed bugs in setting values which require validation checks. - Fixed accessing of non-standard headers so that the returns are identical to every other accesor method. .90 Tue Aug 10, 1999 - Initial "completed" release. First release available to general public.
