COMPATIBILITY

There are no known incompatibilities between versions 2.9.0 and 2.9.1.


BUG FIXES

- when a $final_bad_header_destiny is set to D_BOUNCE and a mail
   message was a DSN or coming from a mailing list, spam checks were
   inappropriately skipped (logged as: "bypassing of spam checks,
   message will be blocked anyway", which was not true as the blocking
   was overruled at a later stage); reported by Bruce Pennypacker;

- perl 5.20.0 may occasionally report:
     "Malformed UTF-8 character (unexpected end of string)"
   due to a bug in perl [perl #122148].  Treat this error as non-fatal
   and only log a warning in two such cases: when SpamAssassin is called
   as a spawned subprocess ($sa_spawned=1) and is returning a result
   to a parent process, or when constructing a structured report.


OTHER

- updated decoding of RAR archives to recognize a changed format in 
output
   of 'unrar' utility version 5; based on a patch by 
amavis17(at)iotti.biz

- avoid tempfailing a message if a redis server is down, just log the
   error and carry on;

- some minor logging changes to facilitate troubleshooting;
