Radius Server Change History

• V 2.26 May 1, 2003

  · Fixed a problem in MxLookup.setMaximumRequests() where it would eventually throw an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException. V 2.25 Apr 8, 2003

• · Added a method that controls whether the MXLookup will eventually resolve the domain by getting an A record. This is the last resort but may not be useful if an MX record is required. A proper domain will have an MX record. A misconfigured domain will not have an MX record nor will a machine that is not a recognized mail server.

  For example, mail from a dial-up or cable modem is probably not real mail server and the machine's MX record will not match it's A record. That is to say 12-222-142-228.client.insightbb.com is probably not the MX machine for insightbb.com. The real mail server is gateway.insightbb.com. Therefore the source machine is probably not the bearer of good mail.

• V 2.24 Mar 31, 2003

  · Added a public method to allow the number of concurrent lookup to be dynamically assigned.

  · Changed the documentation - change log is available in the documentation as well as the license.

• V 2.23 Feb 27, 2003

  · Added more answer section types to Packet.java - CNAME, PTR, A records. Some sites use CNAMES, none in the 800 server test used PTR records.

• V 2.22 Feb 7, 2002

  · Fixed a problem with an optimization that failed to copy the preference to an array that was sorted by preference. The array remained unsorted.

• V 2.21 Apr 24, 2001

  · Fixed a potential problem with truncated DNS packets. Original code contained a race condition on which packet's data is examined - statistically speaking this is rare and probably picked the first packet (which is almost certainly the one without the Answer data).

• V 2.1 May 27, 2000

  · Some fixes to the cache purge that could result in the loss of some MX records, but not all. Some efficiencies introduced in caching, searching, and retrieval of data. Fixed a problem with leaving threads behind on exit. Now the close() or finalize method will kill them.

• V 2.0 Feb 29, 2000

  · New version with concurrent lookups using auxiliary daemon threads for sending and receiving MX packets.

• V 1.7 Feb 25, 2000

  · Much more robust support for a single construct and multiple lookups. Added statistics for lookup success/failure/cache hits.

• V 1.6 Aug 25, 1999

  · Better handling of lost packets, Buffered read of mxcache.

• V 1.5 Jun 7, 1999

  · Added extra sanity check for extracting domains (try/catch). V 1.4 Feb 4, 1999

  · Added direct support for A records and removed BigDecimal usage.

• V 1.3 Jun 14, 1998

  · Changed the format and use of the cache.

• V 1.2 Apr 21, 1998

  · Corrected sorting by preference of cached MX IP address.

• V 1.1 Feb 18, 1998

  · Added check pointing of cache records.

• V 1.0 Jan 29, 1998

  · Translated from the original C code written in 1995 by Michael Lecuyer.
