jwSMTP library changelog

______________________________________________________________________________________________
version 1.32.6        February 2005
  Minor bug fix.
  parseaddress has a minor bug, cuts off the end of a name outside of <> characters.
  if the name is at the beginning of the address i.e.
       "hoopla girl<hoopla@wibble.com>"
  ends up:
       "hoopla gir"
  If your intersted see line 1237 of mailer.cpp for explanation
    (bug found by David Irwin, thanks David)
______________________________________________________________________________________________
version 1.32.5        October 2004
  Minor bug fixes.
  Replaced checklinesarelessthan1000chars with checkRFCcompat
     this function now also checks for invalid line breaks and fixes them up.
     qmail will no longer balk with ....Lame Server... issues.
     If a dot is in the message on a line by itself another dot is added to
     that line to stop premature message closing. (suggestion by David Irwin, thanks David)

  fixed problem in gethostaddresses:
  when an invalid nameserver is passed to the constructor and the servers
