Revision history for Perl module Mail::CheckUser

1.01  Tue Jul  3 15:40:40 2001
	- Fixed bug which allowed to pass email addresses with two or
	  more '@' chars as correct

1.00  Wed Jun 27 19:03:20 2001
	- Added more tests for email address syntax check.
	- Fixed spelling (with ispell) it this file :).
	- Replaced 'validness' with 'validity' in docs. I'm sorry -
	  English isn't my native language. Thanks to Dudley Cadet for
	  this correction.
	- This is 'offical' stable release. Now I'm already working on
	  new rewritten version of this module which will have some
	  new features: OO API, access to DNS resolver object (so it
	  will be possible to set DNS servers for hostname resolving)
	  and many others useful things.

0.92  Fri Mar  9 15:11:34 2001
	- Minor fix: don't get records of type 'IN' in hostname checks
	  via DNS.
	- Value $Mail::CheckUser::Helo_Domain option variable wasn't
	  respected if SMTP server is verified with combination of
	  MAIL and RCPT commands.
	- Added disabling warnings that comes from Net::SMTP in
	  timeout conditions.
	- Incompatible change: Removed old VRFY check. Probably nobody
	  even notice it.
	- No longer putting rfcs into distro.
	- Some minor pod doc fixes.

0.91  Fri Jan 12 19:06:29 2001
	- Added section IMPORTANT WARNINGS to pod documentation. I'm
	  really tired to answer same questions :) Hope this will help
	- Added $Mail::CheckUser::Helo_Domain parameter. This allows
	  to specify domain name used in HELO query. It can help if
	  SMTP servers doesn't like default domain used in HELO query
	- Added LICENSE section to README and similar info to CheckUser.pm
	- Changed resolver behavior: now all domain names are checked in
	  root zone. It means thats email addresses like someone@foo.bar
	  will not be accepted as valid anymore just because your local
	  computer resolves domain foo.bar.mydomain.com and have 'search
	  mydomain.com' in his /etc/resolv.conf.

0.90  Thu Nov 16 16:31:10 2000
	- Removed some tests because some my test mailboxes have became
	  invalid
	- Some minor pod doc fixes
	- Marking this release as 0.90 since I believe it has reached stable
	  state now

0.17  Mon Sep 25 21:06:06 2000
	- Added workaround against annoying warning under Perl 5.6 in
	  Net::DNS module which is used by this module

0.16  Mon Sep 11 22:44:11 2000
	- Add another check: now module can verify user on SMTP servers
	  using combination of MAIL and RCPT commands. This check can detect
	  validity of mailboxes on more SMTP servers then VRFY check. By
	  default module now uses this new check. Old VRFY is still
	  supported but can be possibly removed in future because it seems
	  there is no need in it if we have MAIL/RCPT check (thanks for idea
	  to Marc Jauvin)

0.15  Tue Aug 29 15:40:28 2000
	- Added some notes about third email address validity check into
	  README and pod documentation

0.14  Sat Aug 26 21:10:08 2000
	- Added more tests for emails address syntax
	- Fix for bug with verifying user on SMTP servers that support
	  multiple domains (thanks to Karen R Sabog)

0.13  Mon Aug 14 19:20:16 2000
	- Added into distro rfc821
	- Changes in regexp which handles emails syntax (it doesn't allow
	  space in username anymore)
	- Added more tests for emails address syntax

	- Fixed bug in SMTP return codes handling (thanks to Rolf Beutner)
