servers built around the single core library.
Specifically, the package contains a pop3, an imap4 server, and
a sieve mail filter. It also provides a POSIX `mailx’ client, and a
collection of other tools. All programs are capable of reading and
storing mail in a variety of formats.

UUCP 1.07
I’ve released UUCP 1.07. This is the first new release since
1995. It is primarily a bug fix release.
This release does fix one security hole, discovered by Zenith
Parsec. The problem is described here:
http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/3312/exploit/
Patches for this hole have been available for a while, but if you
have not installed a patch, and if untrusted users have access to
your system, you should probably upgrade to version 1.07.
The release is available here:
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/uucp/uucp-1.07.tar.gz
Here is the md5sum:

uucp-objdir/uucp-1.07.tar.gz
Changes in version 1.07:
As usual, many bugs were fixed.
uuchk now reports the configuration file names which it uses.
This makes it easier to figure out how to configure a binary
installation.
Certain options which could previously be set in Makefile.in are
now set as options to configure: –with-user, –with-newconfigdir,
–with-oldconfigdir.
You can now use file names and notification addresses which
contain spaces, but only when talking to another instance of
version 1.07.
The exit status of uux now uses values from .
TCP ports now support IPv6 on modern systems. A new “version”
command in the port file may be used to restrict a TCP port to just
IPv4 or just IPv6.
M and m may now be used in any chat script, not just a dialer
chat script.
Added “max-file-time” command to sys file.
When uucico automatically invokes uuxqt, it no longer passes the
-s option.
