[Zope] FYI: MailBoxer 2.2.6

[Maik Jablonski]

Hi to all,

I've just released MailBoxer 2.2.6 which fixes a critical bug when 
MailBoxer is used for moderated lists.


What is a MailBoxer?
--------------------

MailBoxer is a lightweight ZOPE-Product to run mailinglists, newsletters 
and mailarchives. Its main idea is to give you an extensible framework 
for building mailinglist-based applications with the power of ZOPE. Out 
of the box it provides a full featured  mailinglist/ newsletter/ 
mailarchiving-framework. The German Zope User Group runs all 
mailinglists with MailBoxer.


Changes
-------

  * added a keepdate-parameter. Useful if you want to import 
mailarchives with MailBoxer. Thanks to Eric Barroca!

  * fixed critical bug: a cc to a moderated list produced a mail-loop. 
Thanks to Sebastian Hoffmann.

Features
--------

* MailBoxer is easy to use and to configure and can handle mime-encoded 
mails with attachments.

* People can subscribe/unsubscribe your list by sending an "signed" 
email with a specified email-subject (not body!!!) to the same address 
where the postings will go. No more hazzles with passwords and 
unsubscriptions.

* You can customize and disable subscription and unsubscription.

* All mailinglists can be moderated.

* Mails can be archived (even with attachments) by a combination of 
dates & threads with customizable set of headers.

* User-friendly archive with powerful search-interface and a
"one-thread-one-screen"-view with snipped signatures etc.

* By defining a spamlist, dirty content or misconfigured 
vacation-notifications can be identified and will not be forwarded by 
MailBoxer.

* MailBoxer can convert all mails to plain-text and strip of attachments 
if you have read enough HTML-Mails and useless attachments.

* MailBoxer provides automatic bounce-detection and a 
management-interface for bounced addresses.

* MailBoxer talks directly to your SMTP-Server. This is very fast 
compared using the standard MailHost.send-method (no more overhead for 
connecting & closing the channel every time you send a mail). It should 
be fast enough for even large lists.

* MailBoxer provides many hooks to integrate it into your own 
Zope-applications.


Cheers, Maik
