Release Notes

Upcoming: 201906XX (Jun XX, 2019)

  • Fixed: not enable php ldap extension for Roundcube for OpenLDAP backend.

  • Do not always update SOGo packages. We're using SOGo nightly build, it's not always stable, upgrading may cause issue.

    Here's detailed tutorial to show you what changes are applied to Dovecot: Track user last login time.

• Improvements of iRedMail Easy platform:

  • Send iRedMail.tips file to postmaster after deployment.

Version: 2019032701 (Mar 27, 2019)

• Dovecot:

  • Improve imapsieve setting to handle different IMAP command sent by Microsoft Outlook (it sometimes uses APPEND instead of COPY for moving message to another folder).

• iRedAPD:

  • Update to version 2.7, with SRS (Sender Rewriting Scheme) support.

    Note: SRS is disabled by default, you can enable it in mail server profile page with the iRedMail Easy web UI.

  • Switch logging to syslog (and logrotate).

• AutoConfig/AutoDiscover

  • Domain name autoconfig.<domain> and autodiscover.<domain> are not required if the web domain is hosted on iRedMail server, Outlook will look for https://<web-domain>/autodiscover/autodiscover.xml.

• Fail2ban:

  • Slightly loose filter for postfix to reduce unexpected ban caused by Outlook for macOS.

• SOGo:

  • Enable per-domain global address book for OpenLDAP backend by default. We sponsored SOGo team to implement this feature: https://sogo.nu/bugs/view.php?id=3685 Note: it requires SOGo nightly build version '4.0.7.20190318' or later, OpenBSD 6.4 doesn't support this feature due to old SOGo package.
  • Enable builtin IMAP4 pooling by default. User should notice faster IMAP operations.

• Backup:

  • Backup OpenLDAP data with option -o ldif-wrap=no, to avoid break long line to multiple lines. The dumped LDIF file is easier to work with grep and other command line tools.

• Improvements of iRedMail Easy platform:

  • Make sure OpenLDAP service is running before populating data.
  • Make Nginx/Dovecot/Postfix not listen on address ::1 if system doesn't have IPv6 support.
  • Slightly reduce Amavisd max_servers to same as RAM (GB) for better stability.
  • Always check and make sure major components are the latest versions.
  • Always update major components (postfix/dovecot/sogo/fail2ban/...) to the latest stable release.
  • Always print command output of nginx -t for troubleshooting before restart nginx servvice, it's very useful for troubleshooting.
  • New option Trusted clients in mail server profile page, under tab Settings. You can list all trusted IP addresses or CIDR networks here, they will be whitelisted by few components:
    • Postfix: parameter mynetworks in /etc/postfix/main.cf
    • iRedAPD: parameter MYNETWORKS in /opt/iredapd/settings.py
    • Fail2ban: parameter ignoreip in /etc/fail2ban/ignoreip.local

• Fixed issues of iRedMail Easy platform:

  • Incorrect permission of directories used to store prosody custom modules and config files.

  • mlmmjadmin:
    • Incorrect LDAP base dn in config file.
    • Do not return error if mailing list directory doesn't exist.

• Increase scores of DNSBL relevant spamassassin rules to catch more spams.

• Enable imapsieve plugin in Dovecot by default.

  Message moved to Junk folder will be copied to a directory for spam learning later, vice verse, message moved out of Junk will be copied for ham learning later.

  The spam/ham learning will be performed every 10 minutes with a cron job.

  Now encourage your users to report spams by moving spams to Junk folder. :)
