- init script fixes (Sacha Ott)

is put in the headers (Bernhard Weisshuhn)
- syslog delays (when a X-Greylist header is added)
- bugfix: sometimes the retry-window was not properly enforced

is used (Adrian 'Dagurashibanipal' von Bidder)

- update whitelist
* 2004-07-12: version 1.14
- lookup-by-subnet is default. "transition code" has been implemented, so that
also a lookup with the unstripped IP will be tried. That way you shouldn't
loose any data from the database when moving to version 1.14. Use
--lookup-by-host for the old behaviour. All "address pool" entries are
removed from the whitelist...
- loosen "IP in reverse name" test (Matt Egan)
- changed default --max-age to 30, since the db should shrink a lot
because of the --retry-window functionality (you might want to
db_dump/db_load your db to make it really shrink on disk)
- another Perl 5.8.0 workaround
- implemented --greylist-text (Tom Baker)
- replaced X-Postgrey header with a X-Greylist header which is more similar
to what greylist-milter does (Stephen Gildea)

and after.

to matter right now for filtering spam: they never come again)
- report in the log the real time that is left, after which the triplet will
be accepted
- traverse the database for cleaning old entries only during the night
and only once per day
- more efficient traversal of database for cleaning (Matthew Reimer)

- log removal was not working (need to call txn_checkpoint first)
* 2004-05-22: version 1.3
- PID file generation with --pidfile (Ralf Engelschall)
