The latest version (1.22.4) of the PopFileD daemon can now be downloaded from http://users.adelphia.net/~homedale/popfiled/

PopFileD 1.22.4 contains internal modifications to use hooks implemented in Mercury/32 V4.10 and newer that provide a documented way for the Daemon to modify incoming messages. In Mercury/32 V4.01 and earlier, there was no documented way to do this, and as a result PopFileD would sometimes not be able to work when other Mercury/32 daemons were installed. PopFileD 1.22.4 is backwards compatible and will still work with Mercury/32 V4.01 and earlier using the old method of message modification.

PopFileD 1.22.4 allows extensive debugging output, which should simplify the diagnosis of problems.

PopFileD 1.22.4 also contains a change in the installation procedure that eliminates some minor glitches in the PopPFile user interface when using PopFile Version 0.22.4. It is recommended that all PopFileD users upgrade to
this new version of the Daemon:

Shut PopFile and Mercury down.

Reinstall PopFile (now is the time to upgrade to the latest version). This will restore the original PopFile user interface internationalization files, which were replaced when you installed an older version of the Daemon.

Install PopFileD following the instructions in the HTML file included in the distribution.

Thanks are due to:

Thomas Stephenson for providing a beta version of Mercury so I could develop and test the new Daemon and for beta testing the Daemon

Lukas Gebauer for generously providing assistance with the new Mercury/Daemon interface, even though my daemon is a competitor of his.

Rory Kallfelz for beta testing the Daemon.

and, most importantly, David Harris, the guy who makes all this happen.
