  Thanks: Matthias Andree.

Update to 4.2.4. From the changelog:

Version 4.2.3
18 November 2004

  -documentation updates.

  -clarify error message when user insecurely tries to deliver mail as GID 0.

Version 4.2.4
22 November 2004

  mail account, rather than simply proceeding to the next message from the
  same account.  Fixed.  Thanks: Adrien Beau.
  -documentation updates.

Log message:
Update to 4.2.2. From the changelog:

Version 4.1.5
13 September 2004

  -getmail would not delete messages from the server if it was configured not
  to retrieve them and the delete_after directive was not in use (i.e. user
  normally left messages on server but occasionally wanted to force-delete
  them).  Fixed.  Thanks:  Frankye Fattarelli.

Version 4.2.0
18 September 2004

  -SECURITY: previous versions of getmail contain a security vulnerability.
  A local attacker with a shell account could exploit a race condition (or a
  similar symlink attack) to cause getmail to create or overwrite files in a
  directory of the local user's choosing if the system administrator ran getmail
  as root and delivered messages to a maildir or mbox file under the control of
  the attacker, resulting in a local root exploit.  Fixed in versions 4.2.0
  and 3.2.5.
  This vulnerability is not exploitable if the administrator does not deliver
  mail to the maildirs/mbox files of untrusted local users, or if getmail is
  configured to use an external unprivileged MDA.  This vulnerability is
  not remotely exploitable.
  Thanks: David Watson.  My gratitude to David for his work on finding and
  analyzing this problem.
  -Now, on Unix-like systems when run as root, getmail forks a child
  process and drops privileges before delivering to maildirs or mbox files.
  getmail will absolutely refuse to deliver to such destinations as root;
  the uid to switch to must be configured in the getmailrc file.
  -revert behaviour regarding delivery to non-existent mbox files.  Versions
  4.0.0 through 4.1.5 would create the mbox file if it did not exist; in
  versions 4.2.0 and up, getmail reverts to the v.3 behaviour of refusing
  to do so.

Version 4.2.1
8 October 2004

  -set message attributes on corrupt container objects to prevent problems
  with destinations that expect multidrop-retrieved messages.
  Thanks: Harry Wearne.
  -move tests for existence of file from mbox destination initialization
  to delivery method, and change error from configuration to delivery error.
  Thanks: David Watson.

Version 4.2.2
11 October 2004

  -in child delivery processes, change real as well as effective uid/gid.
  Thanks: David Watson.
  -handle corrupted oldmail file better.  Thanks: Matthias Andree.

Log message:
Update to 4.1.4. From the changelog:

  -change failure of a message filter to produce at least as many mail headers
  as it was provided from a non-fatal error to warning.  If your filter strips
  headers, getmail will now warn you about it, but will not consider it an
  error.
  -documentation additions.

Log message:
Update to 4.1.3. From the changelog:

  -enhance warning diagnostics about non-accessible or non-writable maildirs.
  -change method of determining name of local host; only fall back to
  getfqdn() if the result of gethostname() does not contain a dot.
  -documentation enhancements.

Log message:
Update to 4.1.2. From the changelog:

  -dumping config would raise an exception since 4.1.0; fixed.
  Thanks: Ilya Krel.

Log message:
Update to 4.1.1. From the changelog:

  -getmail raised an exception after processing all accounts, while printing
  a summary, if verbose was set to 2.  Fixed.  Thanks:  Matthias Andree.
