Update /etc/iredmail-release with new iRedMail version number

Fixed: No daily cron job to backup SQL/LDAP database

In iRedMail-0.9.3, there's no daily cron job to backup SQL/LDAP databases. Please add them manually with command crontab -e -u root.

Notes:

• Please make sure the path to backup scripts (/var/vmail/backup/backup_XXX.sh) are correct.

• On FreeBSD and OpenBSD, the path of bash shell is /usr/local/bin/bash.

• For OpenLDAP backend, you need 2 daily cron jobs, one for SQL database, one another one for LDAP:

# iRedMail: Backup OpenLDAP data (at 03:00 AM)
0   3   *   *   *   /bin/bash ${BACKUP_SCRIPT_OPENLDAP}

# iRedMail: Backup MySQL databases (at 03:30AM)
30   3   *   *   *   /bin/bash /var/vmail/backup/backup_pgsql.sh

• For MySQL/MariaDB backends, you need 1 daily cron job:

# iRedMail: Backup MySQL databases (at 03:30AM)
30   3   *   *   *   /bin/bash /var/vmail/backup/backup_pgsql.sh

• For PostgreSQL backend, you need 1 daily cron job:

# iRedMail: Backup PostgreSQL databases (at 03:01AM)
1   3   *   *   *   /bin/bash /var/vmail/backup/backup_pgsql.sh

FreeBSD: Fix incorrect file permission of /etc/mail/mailer.conf

This is applicable to only FreeBSD.

iRedMail generates /etc/mail/mailer.conf with permission 0600 during installation, but it should be world-readable. Please fix this issue with command below:

chmod +r /etc/mail/mailer.conf

OpenBSD: Fixed: Not open port 25 in firewall rule

This is applicable to only OpenBSD.

The sample PF firewall rule shipped in iRedMail-0.9.3 doesn't enable port 25 by default, please add service name smtp in mail_services= manually, then reload pf rules.

• Add service name smtp in parameter mail_services= in /etc/pf.conf:

mail_services="{ ... smtp}"

• Reload pf firewall:

# pfctl -d
# pfctl -ef /etc/pf.conf
