More major changes in 1.3-DEV
|
|
Don't you just hate it when 1 mailpack can cause so much grief.
There was a lot of fiddling and farting around - trying to stop ripMIME from segfaulting due to excessive stack
consumption (endless or very deep recursion).
Hopefully everything is solved now - and I even managed to remove the need to use the --qmail-bounce flag.
If everyone can try and test against their mail archives, I'd be greately appreciative.

Anyhow, here's the change log for the day;
Sat Mar 06 2004
- PLD:DEV:
Unbelievable amount of restructuring required so I could get 2
mailpacks with seperate problems to work.
Improved the discrimination and speed of the BS_cmp() operation
by first taking a count of all the numeric+alpha chars in the
boundary and then comparing against the existing boundaries. This
helps speed things up because there's no longer a string
comparison per test if there's not even going to be a chance
of a match. Also, the discrimination is improved because I had an incident where
two boundaries existed, with one being a substring of the other,
this was passing through ripMIME with the previous 1.3-dev release
for some reason.
A lot of code was removed from the MIME_unpack_stage2() call and placed
rather into seperate function calls. The new function calls are;
MIME_handle_multipart()
MIME_handle_rfc822()
MIME_handle_plain()
No doubt more of these will be added over time as I work my way through
the old code.
The need for the --qmail-bounce option seems to now have vanished as I
have modified the way I scan for RFC822 data within the headers.
