This tutorial describes how to upgrade iRedAPD from `1.4.0` or later releases to the latest stable release. It's applicable on all Linux/BSD distributions supported by iRedMail.

1. Download the latest stable release here: http://www.iredmail.org/yum/misc/. For example, iRedAPD-1.7.0.tar.bz2.
2. Upload it to your iRedMail server. Assume it's `/root/iRedAPD-1.7.0.tar.bz2`.
3. Extract downloaded package and execute upgrade script:

Attention

If you're running iRedMail with OpenLDAP or MySQL/MariaDB backends, upgrading from iRedAPD-1.6.0 or earlier releases requires MySQL root username and password, please get them before you run upgrade script.

    # cd /root
    # tar xjf iRedAPD-1.7.0.tar.bz2
    # cd iRedAPD-1.7.0/tools/
    # bash upgrade_iredapd.sh

That's all.

Plugins

- It's recommended to enable plugin `reject_null_sender` in iRedAPD-1.4.4 or later releases to prevent authenticated user sending spam as null sender.

- Plugin `amavisd_wblist` is required for whitelisting and blacklisting.
