WAP11GUI version 0.12 released
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=307273

WAP11GUI is an SNMP management application for the Linksys WAP11 wireless access point. It provides a Unix/Linux user with a graphical, QT based interface with which to configure and manage a WAP11 AP over a LAN. The biggest news (if you could call it that) in this release is that a memory leak that went unnoticed for 2 years has been fixed. Many thanks to the user who took the time to report this issue. The leak was really only noticable when using the ethernet/wireless statistics windows. Randomly selected binary packages will be posted in the following days. I don't have access to every single falvor and version of Linux, let alone other operating systems - I release binaries for systems that I happen to have installed and working at the moment, and that's it. If you'd like to see your OS/distribution supported, you might want to consider creating and uploading your own packages. Have fun pushing that "Help" button, Ori Pessach

MIMEDefang is a flexible MIME email scanner designed to protect Windows clients from viruses. However, it can do many other kinds of mail processing, such as replacing parts of messages with URLs, adding boilerplate disclaimers, and so on. It can alter or delete various parts of a MIME message according to a very flexible configuration file. It can also bounce messages with unacceptable attachments. MIMEDefang works with Sendmail 8.11/8.12's new "Milter" API, which makes it more flexible and efficient than procmail-based approaches.
