[ZendTo] ZendTo ANNOUNCE: 4.05 released

[Julian Field]

I have just released a new version 4.05, which hopefully you folks will 
like!

Main new features and changes in this release are:

- Changed sender address of all generated email, to avoid SPF and 
anti-relaying problems. Replies still possible because of "Reply-To:" 
header.
- Added "Resend Dropoff" button to drop-offs in your Outbox.
- Added "System Log" button to list of admin-only buttons.
- AD authentication now supports a list of OUs in each forest/domain.
- Manual complete check of all words in "Request a Drop-off" word list 
to remove all awkward or unsuitable words.
- Minor improvments to MyZendTo.
For more details on any of these, see the Change Log.

You can download it as usual from http://zend.to

Cheers!
Jules.



The full Change Log is here:
- Changed sender address of all email messages sent by ZendTo. They are now
   sent with the "From" address set to the value of "EmailSenderAddr" in
   zendto.conf, and a "Reply-To" address set to the person who caused the
   email to be sent. This should solve all your mail relaying and SPF 
problems.
- Added some help text to the main menu page, so users know what to do.
   Note that this uses a new zendto.conf setting "OrganizationType".
- If you are using Active Directory authentication, you can search for the
   user in more than 1 OU if you need to, in either or both forests/domains.
   To do this, set the 'authLDAPBaseDN1' and/or 'authLDAPBaseDN2' settings
   to be an array of OUs instead of a single OU, expressed like this:
     'authLDAPBaseDN1' => array('OU=Staff,DC=mycompany,DC=com',
                                'OU=Interns,DC=mycompany,DC=com'),
   There is no need to make them arrays if you are only searching a 
single OU
   in each forest/domain.
- Been through the "request a drop-off" key word list by hand, line by line,
   and removed 726 words that were dubious, confusing, not in common 
usage, or
   awkward to spell or pronouce.
- Added a default quota for MyZendTo users so you don't have to add a record
   to your local MySQL/SQLite user list for everyone that can authenticate.
- Implemented "Resend Dropoff" button in page showing a drop-off. Useful
   when recipients fail to receive (or delete or lose) the notification 
email.
- Done some clearups of MyZendTo so it doesn't show you the Claim ID or
   Passcode of your drop-offs, as that confuses users and doesn't help.
- Added a commented-out section to www/css/local.css showing how to make
   the website narrower left to right.
- Improved logging of requests sent and dropoffs deleted.
- Added administrator-only "System Log" button to show recent log entries.
