@@ -7,6 +7,12 @@ fetchmail-4.5.5 ():
* Fixed the spam-block code that I broke in 4.5.3 :-(.
* Updated the entry on setting up sendmail spam blocks.
* Added setrlimit call to inhibit core dumps unless debugging is on.
+* The default of smtplist has been changed; the undocumented feature that
+ it always included the fetchmail host's FQDN is gone (this is now
+ true for ETRN mode only).
+* Modes other than ETRN no longer need to know the fetchmail host's FQDN.
+ This eliminates a gethostbyname() call and makes fetchmail more independent
+ of local DNS configuration quirks.
