   A new GAMMA AUP is now available for version 6.1 Build 451.7.   
      
   AUP Subscribers may obtain the GAMMA by typing:   
      
           AUTOUPDATE /GAMMA   
      
   Summary:   
      
   This first gamma 451.7 release mainly fixes and cleans up some minor issues   
   in the last official 451.6 release.  Please note the AUP.CHM was not   
   updated. It will be added soon. Here is the change list:   
      
   WCSMTP   
   ------   
      
   - Fix: Now honors response codes 553 to 559 outgoing transaction   
          failures. This will now pick up on incorrect transactions   
          much faster.   
      
          Details:   
      
          A 55x response is a permanent failure. A 45x is a temporary   
          failure which allows for retries.  WCSMTP was only checking 550   
          to 552 for permanent failures, thus when a 553 was issued by a   
          remote server, wcSMTP stopped the transaction but it put the   
          mail back into the outgoing mail queue allowing it to retry   
          again at the next send attempt.   
      
   - Fix: Fixed the Received: trace header to better conform to   
          RFC 821/2821 standards.   
      
   - FIX: Fixed Typo in WCSMTPSENDTRACE*.LOG with having the C: and S:   
          tags reversed.   
      
   - FIX: Fixed the Send Mail Incoming Buffer Size. Too small.   
      
   - NEW: Added optional Retry Frequency Table using optional file   
          data\wcsmtp.ini.  See below for example WCSMTP.INI file.   
      
      
   WCLISTSERVE:   
   ------------   
      
   - New; Added support for two new options:   
      
         [_] Add Subject Listname Tag   
         [X] Add List Header Lines   
      
   WCSERVER   
   --------   
      
   - ENH: Allow READ access for SDK WcGetPrivateProfileXXXX()   
          Function.   
      
     Reading of INI files for non-system sessions are now allowed with   
     the WcGetPrivateProfileXXXX() functions in the win32ini.wch wcBASIC   
     library.   Reading is allowed, Writing requires atleast the system   
     or user session.   
      
   WCSSL   
   -----   
      
   - NEW: New OPENSSL library 0.9.7i used.   
      
     You need to unzip the updated OPENSSL.ZIP and WCSSL.ZIP files.   
      
      
   WCSMTP.INI   
   ----------   
      
   A new DATA\WCSMTP.INI is now optionally available to add additional stuff   
   for WCSMTP as required.  Currently it is used to offer a different send mail   
   frequency.   
      
   Example DATA\WCSMTP.INI File:   
      
   [Attempts]   
   Default=60   
   Attempt1=5   
   Attempt2=5   
   Attempt3=15   
   Attempt5=30   
   Attempt10=120   
   Attempt21=5   
   Attempt22=5   
   Attempt23=15   
   Attempt25=30   
   Attempt30=120   
   Attempt40=60   
   Attempt72=60   
      
   The above are minutes.  It says the default retry frequency is 60 minutes. I   
   have to double check this but for now, I think attempt #1 is ignored, since   
   the first attempt starts immediately as soon as the message is queued for   
   sending.  I left it in there so that we can put a timer on the FIRST   
   attempt.  In any case, the 2nd attempt is 5 minutes later, the 3rd and 4th   
   attempt is 15 later,  the 5th to 9th attempt is 30 minutes frequencies, and   
   so on.   
      
   The above is an example to show how it works. I think a more appropriate   
   frequency would be:   
      
   [Attempts]   
   Default=60   
   Attempt1=5   
   Attempt2=5   
   Attempt3=15   
   Attempt4=60   
      
   with the goal if trying 5 to 15 minutes later in the first few tries before   
   defaulting back to the 60 minute frequency.   
      
   The reason this was needed because of the growth of GreyList systems.   
   GreyListing is where a receiver will fail you the first time you send them   
   mail with the expectation you will try again.  By default, Wildcat! was   
   retrying every hour for 3 days for a total of 72 tries.  With this table,   
   you can now satisfy the greylist system and retry alot sooner than 1 hour in   
   order to send mail.
