2.1.15 (xx-xxx-xxxx)
+ New Features
+
+ - A new mm_cfg.py setting RESPONSE_INCLUDE_LEVEL has been added to control
+ how much of the original message is included in automatic responses to
+ email commands. The default is 2 to preserve the prior behavior of
+ including the full message. Setting this to 1 in mm_cfg.py will include
+ only the original headers, and 0 will include none of the original. It
+ is recommended to set this to 0 in mm_cfg.py to minimize the effects of
+ backscatter. Bug #265835.
+
+ - A new mm_cfg.py setting DEFAULT_RESPOND_TO_POST_REQUESTS has been added
+ to control the default for respond_to_post_requests for new lists. It is
+ set to Yes for backwards compatibility, but it is recommended that
+ serious consideration be given to setting it to No. Bug #266051.
+
+ - A new mm_cfg.py setting DISCARD_MESSAGE_WITH_NO_COMMAND has been added to
+ control whether a message to the -request address without any commands or
+ a message to -confirm whose To: address doesn't match VERP_CONFIRM_REGEXP
+ is responded to or just logged. It defaults to Yes which is different
+ from prior behavior. Bug #410236.
