Mailfromd 3.0.2 is available for download. This is a maintenance release. The list of important user-visible changes follows:

• Fuller SMTP timeout control

In order to more fully control SMTP transactions, new timeout value is introduced: initial-response-timeout. This is the maximum time to wait for the remote to issue the initial SMTP response. This value is especially useful for dealing with the servers that impose a delay before the initial reply (most notably "CommuniGate Pro" ones). The default value is 30 seconds which should be enough for most normal servers. See the documentation, node "SMTP Timeouts" for the detailed discussion.

• No more `retry' options.

The `retry' options and pragmas have been removed. The new timeout control scheme warrants that the polling will take at most the given interval of time. In particular, that affects:

• • Command line option `--retry'
  • Pragma options io-retry and connect-retry

• Bugfixes
  • Fix race condition when using GDBM
