5.6 Build 450.4: Info on update released November 25, 2002

Special notes about this update

This Build v5.6.450.4 is a minor maintenance release.

Please run wcRepair to repair the File Database index files before restarting wcServer. If any files were deleted from the file library, file search results may be incomplete if you don't repair the index files.
Even if you don't plan to use new SSL/TLS security options, at a minimum, the SASLLOGIN.DLL must be extracted from the wcSASL.ZIP zip file and made available for wcSMTP to use. Otherwise, the Wildcat! SMTP server will not offer the basic login authentication option to connecting SMTP clients. If suddenly, you see users are not able to send mail with relay denied errors, then this might be the reason for the send mail denials.

Fixed File Database quick index keys deletion bug. This fixes bad file searching results caused when a file was deleted.

Minor correction to the External Module loading.
If a module had a space in it (for example, wcListServe Setup.exe), it will no longer show up in the wcConfig viewing window.
In the previous version, we made a change to allow for command line parameters. The space conflicted with the parsing logic. This was corrected by adding a command line parameter input field in the "Add External Module" option.

Fixed a wcNavigator web browser bug when SSL was enabled. This bug only occurred if SSL was enabled and when older wcNav user installations was requesting the old browser client causing an abort in wcOnline.
Note: If the browser client did not exist under the clients folder, this problem did not show up. Santronics no longer supports, nor has it been supported since 1998, the "Browser Client" under your clients folder. You should delete this folder to avoid wcNav request. It doesn't work and it was originally designed when Microsoft IE did not exist in the old days when MSI attempted to write there own browser. Get rid of it.
Fixed a minor typo in activity log entry for failed wcNav downloads.
Fixed a memory leak in wccore.dll when a template did not exist.

Corrections to wcBasic module, carbon.wcc, addresses a problem with the carbon copy option, "GROUP security" where it was sending carbon copies to users not in the primary security name provided.
Corrections to wcBasic module, FTP Client.wcc, addresses LFN display issues.
A new wildcat.wcl was created and the wcBasic plus pack was updated.

Optimized/reduced the wcServer bandwidth by eliminating the redundant calls to the server to get the SASL authentication methods available. This is now done once during wcSMTP startup. EHLO connections should be much faster now.
Cleaned up the wcSMTP log a little bit to reduce the misunderstanding by some customers of certain log events (i.e., relay blocked)

Fixed the setup Confirmation File input field. It now saves the the file name.
Fixed a potential bug with Date fields which are really long.
Fixed the confirmation message subject field which was different if a confirmation file was used.
Improved the new mail polling logic. (Detail)
Added a switch option to reset the last pointers. (Detail)

Updated the sysop editor display file SysUserMatch.bbs to match the sysop editor sorting options.
