Firma CHANGELOG
---------------

02/08/2007 - 0.3-cvs (rev 1.172) - luis

  - SIGNATURE_MADE_BY_SENDER checking wasn't working. Fixed.

  - Improved config files checking.

  - Improved logging/printing routine.

30/07/2007 - 0.3-cvs (rev 1.170) - luis

  - Try to guarantee that REPLAY_COUNT and DELIVERY_RANDOMIZATION
    contain just digits.

  - Fixed a few more bugs in the list creation routine.

29/07/2007 - 0.3-cvs (rev 1.168) - luis

  - firma would always exit successfully (exit code = 0). Fixed.

  - Message signature checking was being completely skipped. Fixed.

  - Passphrase check for sequentially repeated characters wasn't
    working. Fixed.

  - Trying to create a list with the same name (same homedir path,
    actually) of an existing list would cause this list to be
    removed. Fixed.

  - firma's user and group would always be set to nobody:nobody,
    disregarding what was entered at the config files. Fixed.

  - Not all global variables were being unset at the end of firma's
    execution. Fixed.

  - Better list creation routine. Minor bugs fixed.

31/01/2007 - 0.3-cvs (rev 1.152) - luis

  - Removed firma dependecy on bc, cat and tac.

30/01/2007 - 0.3-cvs (rev 1.151) - luis

  - Re-enabling passphrase complexity checking. Not sure why I had
    commented out this part of the code.

  - s/Copyright (C) 2005/Copyright (C) 2005-2007/

  - 1,$s/ERROR_MESSAGE=/LogMessage /. This way messages are
    automatically echoed/logged, allowing firma to deal with more
    than one error message on the same execution. So ERROR_MESSAGE
    is no more.

  - Removed firma dependecy on awk and test/[.

19/01/2007 - 0.3-cvs (rev 1.150) - rhatto

  Added command "listinfo"

12/11/2006 - 0.3-cvs (rev 1.148) - rhatto

  Increased SubscribeUsers verbosity; tagged as 0.3pre1 :)

18/10/2006 - 0.3-cvs (rev 1.145) - luis

  Fixed major bug: PGP/MIME handling would work only if variable
  REMOVE_THESE_HEADERS_ON_ALL_LISTS was not empty.

13/10/2006 - 0.3-cvs (rev 1.143) - rhatto

Lots of stuff for today :)

  - new list config parameters:

    - DELIVERY_RANDOMIZATION: if non-zero, set a random
      delay between 0 and N seconds between each messsage
      delivery; if you run firma with a TLS-enabled MTA and
      mostly of the list messages are sent to others TLS-enabled
      MTAs, then this option will make harder to a sniffer detect
      the traffic of you mailing list, specially if your MTA
      already sends a lot of messages or if you're going
      to have a lot of encrypted mailing lists, all randomizing
      its delivery.

    - REPLAY_PROTECTION: when set to "yes", stores sha1sums
      of the last REPLAY_COUNT received messages; then,
      if some message with an already stored sha1sum, then
      its bounced back to the sender and considered as an attempt
      of replay attack.

    - REPLAY_COUNT: number of messages to store sha1sums;
      defaults to 10 and only used when REPLAY_PROTECTION
      is set to "yes".

    - REPLAY_FILE: file to store sha1sums of messages;
      only used when REPLAY_PROTECTION is set to "yes";
      defaults to /var/log/firma/replay.db.

  - in function NewList:

    - changed variable DESCRIPTION to KEY_DESCRIPTION.
    - fixed key lenght size.
    - now key information (size and description) is written
      in the list config file; this can help in the future
      as key regeneration support is added.

  - fix in config parameters evaluation

  - new list config variable LIST_REQUEST_ADDRESS that defaults
    to listname-request@domain.

  - in function MimeWrapMessage: changed From: and Reply-To: to
    $LIST_REQUEST_ADDRESS.

  - new functions:

    - SetDeliveryRandomization
    - DeliveryRandomization
    - ReplayProtectionFlush
    - ReplayProtectionCheck

  - in function ReEncryptAndSendListMessage: added a call to
    DeliveryRandomization both when hidden recipient is enabled
    or disabled.

  - in function ProcessMessage: added call to ReplayProtectionCheck
    and else clause.

12/10/2006 - 0.3-cvs (rev 1.138) - rhatto

  - new config file evaluation scheme: now config files
    aren't sourced to firma script but instead every
    parameter is evaluated; this makes config evaluation
    more secure.

  - all help on admin commands can be obtained by command line:

      firma --help subscribe
      firma --help sendkey

  - removed config parameters information at the header of
    the script; now this message can be accessed by command line:

      firma --help config

  - new functions:

    - EvalConfigParam
    - SourceFirmaConfig
    - SourceListConfig
    - ConfigHelp
    - AdminHelp

12/10/2006 - 0.3-cvs (rev 1.127) - rhatto

  - now admin messages are being encrypted and then sent
    back to the administrator.

  - restored function MimeWrapMessage.

  - new function CreateMessageBodyPart.

11/10/2006 - 0.3-cvs (rev. 1.114) - rhatto

  - support of list administration via email

  - in function ParseGpgDecryptStderr: added variable
    SIGNATURE_MADE_BY_SENDER, that checks whether the
    signature was made by the sender of the email;
    this is important to check if admin tasks are
    really being request by the list administrator, etc.

  - new list config option REQUIRE_SIGNATURE= whether messages
    sent to the list should be (yes) or dont need to be signed
    to be processed (no); defaults to yes; this doesnt affect
    the way email administration works, when signature is mandatory.

  - in function ProcessMessage:

    - fixed typ0 LIST_ADMINS (should be LIST_ADMIN).
    - check whether SIGNATURE_MADE_BY_SENDER is true.
    - process message according value of MODE, so the function
      can process either normal list messages or admin
      commands.

  - in function ChooseUid: added expect exit status checking at
    the bottom of the function.

  - new command line option -e, --email-admin-task.

  - new global variable MODE is set either

    - "admin-interactive".
    - "admin-non-interactive".
    - "list-message".

  - new functions

    - AdminLog
    - EmailListAdministration
    - AllowMessageProcessing

10/10/2006 - 0.3-cvs (rev 1.89) - rhatto

  - minor fixes

  - new variables GPG_FLAGS_NO_BATCH and GPG_NO_BATCH 
    for --no-batch processing.

  - in function NewList:

    - atomic list creation: if something fails,
      $LIST_HOMEDIR is erased.

    - fixed HOMEDIR evaluation.

    - input sanitizer.

    - can automatically create a passphrase.

    - can import admins pubkeys.

    - can send list pubkey to admins.
 
    - key size.

    - key expiration.

09/10/2006 - 0.3-cvs (rev 1.74) - rhatto

  - new admin commands:
    - "list" show list subscribers.
    - "subscribe" to add users to the list.
    - "sendkey" to send the list pubkey to a given user.
    - "sendkey" to send the list pubkey to a given user.
    - "info" get a subscriber pubkey information.

  - changed "quit" exit code on ListAdministration to
    3 so the main function doesnt get confused between
    a gpg error (that usually is status code 1 or 2)
    and the list administration quit command.

  - new firma.conf and list.conf variable
    KEYSERVER= default keyserver to import/export keys
               (defaults to keyserver.noreply.org).
    
  - fixes on permission checking.

  - some other small fixes.

  - new functions:
    - UnsubscribeUser
    - SubscribeUsers
    - SendListPubkey
    - GetSubscribersInfo
    - FixListOwnership
    - RandomString

  - function NewList now asks whether to send or not
    the list pubkey to the admins.

07/10/2006 - 0.3-cvs (rev 1.49) - rhatto

  - new function LogMessage.

  - new function prototype UnsubscribeUser.

  - fixes on permission checking.

06/10/2006 - 0.3-cvs (rev 1.43) - rhatto

  - user and group verification added just in the bottom of function
    CheckFirmaConfigFile through firma or list configuration parameters
    USER and GROUP.

  - new global variable BASENAME contains firma program name.

  - NewList: now set permission and ownership to $USER and $GROUP
    in all files of the list folder.

  - new function CheckPermission.

  - new function CheckListPermissions.

  - permission checking when evaluation firma.conf and list
    config file.

  - README update

29/09/2006 - 0.3-cvs (revs. 1.37 - 1.4.2) - luis

  - Log to syslog:

      firma.conf related variables:

        LOG_TO_SYSLOG (on if set to "1")
        LOGGER_BINARY (path to logger's binary)
        SYSLOG_PRIORITY (defaults to "user.err")

   - Minimal message munging: By not breaking the MIME structure of messages,
     firma is now as PGP/MIME (and PGP/Inline) compliant as the MUAs used by
     the list subscribers.

   - Headers: Message headers are not edited in any way unless firma/the list
     is set to do so.

      firma.conf related variable:

        REMOVE_THESE_HEADERS_ON_ALL_LISTS
                 (space separated case-insensitive entries)
                 (may include regexps (e.g., X-.*)

      list.conf related variable: REMOVE_THESE_HEADERS (same as above)

   - Two new list configuration parameters

        SUBJECT_PREFIX
                 (prefix to be included in the subject of list messages)
        REPLIES_SHOULD_GO_TO_LIST
                 (if set to "1", a Reply-To header containing the list
                  address is added to all list messages)

   - Body: firma only replaces the original encrypted block with a new one,
     encrypted to all list members. The rest of the message body, if any,
     is left untouched.

  - Bounce processing:

    A list can now be set to silently ignore invalid messages, instead
    of sending bounces as it normally does.

      list.conf related variable:

        SILENTLY_DISCARD_INVALID_MESSAGES (on if set to "1")

   - Non-fatal errors: Not all errors thrown by firma are fatal, as it used to be.
     Less critical errors just print/log a warning now.

   - Message sending: Messages are sent to all recipients at once. The addresses
     are passed as arguments to the mail program, so firma no longer depends on
     the To, Cc, Bcc headers of the message being sent. These headers are also
     left untouched on the original message.

   - Better performance: firma now processes both valid and invalid messages faster.

04/09/2005 - 0.3-cvs (rev 1.36) - luis

  - As a temporary solution until compliance to PGP/MIME standards
    can be implemented, messages are being decoded using the
    command "mimencode -q -u". This command assumes that the entire
    message is Quoted-Printable encoded. So, for now, no Base64
    encoded messages should go through firma.

  - Message's signature checking is being more thoroughly parsed
    so that firma can send more specific bounce messages. Added
    three different messages, informing the sender either that
    his/her address is not subscribed to the list, or that the
    received message was not signed, or that it was not encrypted
    with the list's public key.

  - Signature checking output, as displayed in the top of the list
    messages, is more verbose now, showing all UIDs of the signing
    key instead of just the primary one.

  - Expired, revoked or disabled public keys are no longer
    processed when checking if a given list has any subscribers
    or when a message is being sent to the list.

  - GetSubscribersList output is now stored in variable
    SUBSCRIBERS_LIST for better performance of the functions
    depending on it. For the same reason, GetGpgDecryptStderr
    output is now stored in variable GPG_DECRYPT_STDERR.

  - Major changes on functions SendListMessage, SendWarningMessage,
    SendBounceMessage and ProcessMessage to implement all the items
    above.

  - Re-declared global array MESSAGE_BODY as a global variable and
    added/removed some other variables:

    recipients -> ( removed )
    ( new )    -> GPG_DECRYPT_STDERR, SUBSCRIBERS_LIST

  - Added two small routines to declare/unset all global
    variables.

03/09/2005 - 0.3-cvs (rev 1.35) - luis

  - In the PASSPHRASE, characters can now be sequentially repeated
    up to 4 times instead of 3.

02/09/2005 - 0.3-cvs (rev 1.34) - luis

  - Added two optional (and experimental) parameters to firma.conf:
    USE_GPG_HIDDEN_RECIPIENT_OPTION and SEND_MESSAGES_USING_BCC. If
    both are enabled, firma will use GnuPG's --hidden-recipient
    option (available from version 1.4.0 onwards) and send list
    messages to all subscribers at once, using BCC. This should
    speed up message processing, specially on lists with several
    subscribers.

  - Major changes on functions SendListMessage and SendWarningMessage
    to implement the two options above, and some minor changes on
    functions SendBounceMessage and ProcessMessage.

  - Added a new check on function CheckFirmaConfigFile, to make sure
    GnuPG's version is 1.4.0 or later in case
    USE_GPG_HIDDEN_RECIPIENT_OPTION is enabled.

  - Added/removed some local variables:
    email   -> ( removed )
    ( new ) -> subscriber, email_address, recipients

  - Corrected misspelled words and fixed typos on comments.

30/08/2005 - v0.2.5 (rev 1.33) - rhatto

  - Added GPL copyright notice and firma contact email

23/08/2005 - 0.3-cvs (rev 1.32) - luis

  - Fixed a possible infinite loop (added on rev 1.30) on function
    GetMessageHeaders. It could be triggered, for example, by a
    message without a body.

  - Like the other header variables (FROM, SUBJECT), the variable
    DATE now holds only the given date and no longer the entire
    "Date:" line.

17/08/2005 - 0.3-cvs (rev 1.31) - luis

  - On function GetMessage, renamed variable "STDIN"
    to "stdin" and declared it as local.

17/08/2005 - 0.3-cvs (rev 1.30) - luis

  - Changed project description to: "firma: GnuPG-based encrypted
    mailing list manager"

  - Added/renamed/removed variables and arrays:

    o Configuration file variables:
    MAIL      -> MAIL_AGENT
    MAIL_ARGS -> MAIL_AGENT_ARGS
    GPG       -> GPG_BINARY
    LISTNAME  -> LIST_ADDRESS
    LISTADMIN -> LIST_ADMIN
    GPGDIR    -> LIST_HOMEDIR
    PASSWD    -> PASSPHRASE

    o GnuPG variables:
    GPGFLAGS   -> GPG_FLAGS
    GPGCOMMAND -> GPG
    GPGLIST    -> GPG_LIST_KEYS
    GPGDECRYPT -> GPG_DECRYPT
    GPGENCRYPT -> GPG_ENCRYPT

    o Other global variables:
    FIRMA_LIST_PATH -> LISTS_DIR
    FROMADD         -> SENDER_ADDRESS
    array           -> ARRAY
    CONFIG_FILE     -> LIST_NAME
    CONFIG_PATH     -> LIST_PATH
    CONFIG          -> LIST_CONFIG_FILE
    LINES, n, i     -> ( removed )
    ( new )         -> FIRMA_CONFIG_FILE

    o Global arrays:
    MESSAGE       -> ORIG_MESSAGE
    GPG_MESSAGE   -> ORIG_GPG_MESSAGE
    LIST_MESSAGE  -> MESSAGE_BODY
    USED_ARRAYS   -> GLOBAL_ARRAYS
    ADMINCOMMANDS -> ( removed )
    ( new )       -> ORIG_MESSAGE_HEADERS

    o Local variables:
    ADMIN   -> administrator
    EMAIL   -> email
    KEYID   -> keyid
    signal  -> ( removed )
    ( new ) -> element, i, j, uid_count, chosen_uid_number

  - firma now uses two different configuration files: a general one,
    containing the variables MAIL_AGENT, MAIL_AGENT_ARGS, GPG_BINARY and
    LISTS_DIR, and a list specific file, containing the variables
    LIST_ADDRESS, LIST_ADMIN, LIST_HOMEDIR and PASSPHRASE.

  - Edited the comments at the beginning of the script to reflect the
    change above.

  - As suggested by the Advanced Bash-Scripting Guide (ABSG)[1], added
    descriptive headers to all functions, describing its function, what
    it expects as input, on what other functions it depends and what exit
    codes it returns.

  - Also as suggested by the ABSG[1], renamed all functions from
    all_lower_case_names to MixedCaseNames.

  - Renamed some functions to make their use more clear:
      gpg_args            -> DeclareGpgVars
      check_config        -> split into two: CheckFirmaConfigFile
                                           and CheckListConfigFile
      get_gpg_stderr      -> GetGpgDecryptStderr
      message_list        -> SendListMessage
      message_list_error  -> SendWarningMessage
      message_list_return -> SendBounceMessage
      list_admin          -> ListAdministration

  - Added some more GnuPG flags:
    o To the GPG_FLAGS variable: --no-options, --no-default-keyring,
        --no-auto-check-trustdb
    o And to the GPG_ENCRYPT variable: --local-user $LIST_ADDRESS,
        --no-emit-version, --trust-model always
    The last one replaced the "--always-trust" option, since its
    deprecated according to GnuPG's manual.

  - Minor changes on functions: Usage, Check*ConfigFile, GetMessage,
    GetSubscribersList, SendListMessage, SendWarningMessage,
    SendBounceMessage, ProcessMessage, NewList and ChooseUid

    o Usage:
      Explained what options expect an argument;
      Commented out the -r (--list-request) option description, since
        it's not implemented yet;
      Added a description of the administrative tasks accepted by the
        -a option;
      Other minor changes.

    o Check*ConfigFile:
      Added a check to see if the LISTS_DIR is an existing directory;
      Added a check to avoid more than 3 sequential repetitions of the
        same character in the PASSPHRASE;
      Other minor changes in the PASSPHRASE, LIST_ADDRESS and
        LIST_ADMIN checks.

    o GetMessage:
      Added a check to see if the message was successfully stored in
        the ORIG_MESSAGE array.

    o GetSubscribersList:
      Added a check to see if there are any subscribers to send
        messages to in a given list.

    o SendListMessage, SendWarningMessage, SendBounceMessage:
      Just minor changes.

    o ProcessMessage:
      (* SECURITY FIX *) A public key with an UID containing GOODSIG
        in its name, comment or email address would be able to send
        messages to any list. And a UID containing BADSIG in any of
        these fields, would be able to send messages to the list
        administrator(s) of any list. Fixed.

    o NewList:
      Just minor changes.

    o ChooseUid:
      Declared keyid, uid_count and chosen_uid_number as local
        variables, moving them to the beginning of the function;
      Minor syntax changes in the checks;
      Added lots of comments, explaining what the checks and the
        expect script are doing.

  - Major changes on functions: GetGpgMessage, GetMessageHeaders,
    ListAdministration and "main"

    o GetGpgMessage:
      Improved function to run faster, specially when processing large
        messages (over 50KB or so).

    o GetMessageHeaders:
      Improved to run faster independent of the size of the message
        being processed.

    o ListAdministration:
      Structured function using the "case" bash builtin;
      Made command parsing more consistent: checking if a given
        command exists, if the right number of arguments were passed,
        if the arguments are valid for this command, and, if anything
        is wrong, showing descriptive and concise error messages;
      New administrative tasks can be easily added to this new nested
        "case" structure.

    o "main":
      Also structured using the "case" bash builtin;
      The long options --admin-task, --create-newlist, --help,
        --process-message and --version are now accepted;
      Commented out the -r (--list-request) option, since it's not
        implemented yet;
      Made the command-line options parsing more consistent (read
        explanation above);
      Changed "umask" from 0777 to 0077. Otherwise, function NewList
        cannot create configuration files for new lists;
      Improved parsing of option -a (--admin-task), removing
        unnecessary commands and routines from this part of the code;
      Again, new command-line options can be easily added to this new
        nested "case" structure.

10/08/2005 - 0.3-cvs (rev 1.29) - rhatto

  - Fix: Now LIST_MESSAGE _really_ works

09/08/2005 - 0.3-cvs (rev 1.28) - rhatto

  - Deleted var 'x'

07/08/2005 - 0.3-cvs (rev 1.19) - rhatto

  - Main function organization
  - umask 0777 to prevent any files got wrong permissions
  - Created USED_ARRAYS containing all the used array names
  - Small routine to unset all arrays

07/05/2005 - 0.3-cvs (rev 1.13) - rhatto

  - firma now uses sendmail or any smtp wrapper directly:
    - Specify your smtp wrapper through MAIL var, e.g.:
      MAIL=/usr/sbin/sendmail
      MAIL=/usr/bin/ssmtp
    - Command-line arguments passed to the wrapper must
      be specified in var MAIL_ARGS
  - Change in functions get_message and get_gpg_message,
    introducing the variable LINES (total lines of the
    received message).
  - New array: LIST_MESSAGE: keeps the encrypted message
    sent to each subscriber; needed to the smtp wrapper
    and will help PGP/MIME handling.

05/08/2005 - 0.3-cvs (rev 1.6) - luis

  - New functions: list_admin, choose_uid and version.
  - Renamed functions
      GPGSTDERR -> get_gpg_stderr
      SUBSCRIBERS -> get_subscribers_list
      get_headers -> get_message_headers
  - New args:
    -h: calls function usage
    -v: calls function version
  - Option -a passes STDIN line by line to list_admin
  - Added some checks in the main procedure
  - Some minor syntax changes

02/08/2005 - 0.3-cvs - rhatto

  - Completed function newlist (still needs tests)
  - New function: gpg_args

25/05/2005 - v0.2.4 - rhatto

  - Message is now stored in two arrays, MESSAGE and GPG_MESSAGE.
    Temporary files are no longer needed. Deleted TMP var.
  - Adapted firma to work with these two arrays. Lots of changes along
    the code.
  - Reorganized the code again, splitting part of the process_message
    function into three new functions (get_message, get_gpg_message
    and get_headers).
  - new functions: get_message, get_gpg_message, get_headers,
  - added export LANG=en_US

14/05/2005 - v0.2.3 - rhatto

  - Changed project description.
  - Two new variables: VERSION and CONFIG. The later stores the path
    to the configuration file.
  - Reorganized the code, splitting it into two functions
    (check_config and process_message).
  - An exit code of 1 is now given if an error occurs.
  - Implemented a simple command line syntax: firma now has to be
    called along with an option (e.g., -p to process a message),
    followed by the path to the configuration file to be used.
  - Created a new function (usage), which displays firma's usage if
    its called without a command line option.
  - Rearranged some comments along the code.
  - New functions are: check_config, eval_config, usage, process_message and
    splited the code into these routines

12/05/2005 - v0.2.2 - luis

  major code cleanup and bug fix release

  - New: Implemented size and complexity checks for the lists' passphrase.
  - firma would not work as expected if the PASSWD variable contained
    characters such as $, `, ', ", \. Fixed. Now PASSWD has to be
    enclosed in single quotes and cannot contain any single quote in
    its value.
  - Checked the entire code and tried to make it clearer and more
    consistent. Lots of small changes and minor fixes.
  - BASH was looking for the configuration file first on its PATH and
    only then on the current directory. Disabled sourcepath to avoid
    this behavior.
  - A From header containing more than one "<" would turn the variable
    FROMADD useless. Fixed.
  - When a message's signature is found invalid, the notification
    about it is now sent separately for the sender and the list
    administrators.
  - Other minor fixes and improvements.
  - Fix LISTNAME and LISTADMIN case sensitiveness.

18/04/2005 - v0.2.1 - luis

  - Added some simple checks for the values entered in the
    configuration file. If any of these checks fail, firma exits and
    shows what should be corrected in the file.

  - GPGLIST now lists public keys using GnuPG's option
    "--with-colons". Definitely much easier to parse.

  - added --no-permission-warning on $GPGCOMMAND.

  - first tests with --hidden-recipient, but not added

  - Fixed the FROMADD variable. It wasn't working on the last version

    - FROMADD=$(echo $FROMADD \
        | if grep -q "<" ; \
          then echo $FROMADD | grep -o "<.*>" | sed -e "s/[<>]//g" ; \
          else echo $FROMADD ; \
          fi)

    + FROMADD=$(echo $FROM \
        | if grep -q "<" ; \
          then echo $FROM | grep -o "<.*>" | sed -e "s/[<>]//g" ; \
          else echo $FROM ; \
          fi)

  - created routines to check config file vars

  - changed SUBJECT to SUBJECT=$(grep -m 1 "^Subject:" $TMP | cut -d : -f 2- | sed "s/^ //")

  - changed FROM to FROM=$(grep -m 1 "^From:" $TMP | cut -f 2 -d :)

17/04/2005 - v0.2 - luis

  - Lists can now have a passphrase. Added option "--passphrase-fd 0"
    to the GPGDECRYPT and GPGENCRYPT variables.
  - Added a new variable to the configuration file: LISTADMIN. It
    should contain the email address of one or more list
    administrator(s).
  - Added signature checking for received messages. If the signature
    is found valid, the message is sent to the list. If its invalid,
    its returned to the sender and to the list administrator(s). If
    the message was not encrypted and/or signed, a note is returned
    to the sender.
  - Added a few options to the GPGCOMMAND variable: "--batch",
    "--no-tty", "--no-use-agent" and "--no-permission-warning".

    GPGCOMMAND="$GPG \
        --quiet \
        --homedir $GPGDIR \
        --batch \
        --no-tty \
        --no-use-agent"

  - Added two new functions: GPGSTDERR and SUBSCRIBERS. The first gets
    GnuPG's STDERR and discards its STDOUT and the later returns the
    subscribers list.

    function GPGSTDERR {
       echo "$PASSWD" \
       | ($GPGDECRYPT --status-fd 2 $TMP.gpg 1> /dev/null) 2>&1 ;
    }

    function SUBSCRIBERS {
       $GPGLIST \
       | sed -n '/$LISTNAME/d;/pub/p' \
       | grep -o '<.*>' \
       | sed -e 's/[<>]//g' ;
    }

  - Added a new variable, FROMADD, which contains the sender's email
    address.

    FROMADD=$(echo $FROMADD \
       | if grep -q '<' ; \
       then echo $FROMADD | grep -o '<.*>' | sed -e 's/[<>]//g' ; \
       else echo $FROMADD ; \
       fi)

   TODO: find a better place to this var.

Feb 2005 - v0.1 - rhatto

  - First public release and proof of concept.
  - Based on pgplist (http://www.rediris.es/app/pgplist/index.en.html),
    but completely written from scratch.
  - Strips all mail headers.
  - Use keyring as database.
  - List variables are sourced from a configuration file.
  - List subscription is managed through GnuPG's public keyrings, one
    keyring for each mailing list.
  - Message is read from STDIN, passed to it by postfix or some
    other MTA.
  - Encrypted message is saved in a temporary file on disk. The
    decrypted message though is not stored in disk, but passed to
    the MTA through a pipe.
  - Message is then decrypted, re-encrypted and sent separately to
    each list subscriber.
