The 4.3.7 release of fetchmail is now available at the usual locations,
including <URL:http://earthspace.net/~esr/fetchmail/>;.  Here are the release
notes:

fetchmail-4.3.7 (Tue Feb 17 21:30:26 EST 1998)
* Fixed a minor bug in the IMAP re-polling logic.
* Thomas Pitre's extensive changes to multidrop:

  - Seek for the true sender of a mail which is not necessarily in the
    From: header. (see comments in the code for more explicit details).
    This one is particularly important with list distributions...

  - Respect the Resent-To/-Cc/-Bcc precedence over the To/Cc/Bcc headers
    for recipient delivery.  So avoid resending a message to a person who
    just resent a mail to some other addresses.

  - Fix a bug in find_server_names() wich caused recipient addresses to
    figure twice in the recipient address list.

  - Modified parse_received()  to let full adress from the Received header to
    pass through so local domains can be used (now has same policy as in
    the find_server_names() function).

  - Fixed memory leaks from readheaders().

  - Made some strcmp() be strcasecmp() as it should be because it didn't
    work correctly in some cases.

  - Modified reply_hack() to meet the needs of above modifications.

  Thomas says these changes have been tested for two weeks in a production
  multidrop environment.
* Doug Muth's runfetchmail version 1.1.
* Minor port patches from Philippe De Muyter.
* Patch by Chun-Chung Chen <cjj@u.washington.edu> to handle quotes in .netrc
* Corrected OTP support, IPv6 and IPSEC support patches from Craig Metz.
* Fix bad interaction between UID handling and fetchmail.

By popular demand, diffs from the previous release have been omitted.

IMPORTANT NOTE: 4.3.7's changes to the logic for handling RFC 1725 POP
servers that use UIDL rather than the LAST command HAVE NOT BEEN
TESTED.  They're simple, they're probably correct, but if you're using 
this configuration you should test.  Run fetchmail in foreground with the
- -v and -k options and then look at .fetchids to verify that it contains
the UIDs that showed in the UIDL list near the beginning of the run.

putting a money test on getting a gun.  It's racism in its worst form.
