General (All backends should apply these steps)

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

iRedMail stores the release version in /etc/iredmail-release after installation, it's recommended to update this file after you upgraded iRedMail, so that you can know which version of iRedMail you're running. For example:

0.9.6

Upgrade iRedAPD (Postfix policy server) to the latest stable release (1.9.2)

Please follow below tutorial to upgrade iRedAPD to the latest stable release: Upgrade iRedAPD to the latest stable release

Detailed release notes are available here.

Upgrade iRedAdmin (open source edition) to the latest stable release (0.6.3)

Please follow this tutorial to upgrade iRedAdmin open source edition to the latest stable release: Upgrade iRedAdmin to the latest stable release

Upgrade Roundcube webmail to the latest stable release (1.2.0)

Please follow Roundcube official tutorial to upgrade Roundcube webmail to the latest stable release immediately: How to upgrade Roundcube.

Note: package rsync must be installed on your server before upgrading.

Fixed: HTTProxy vulnerability in Apache and Nginx

For more details about HTTPROXY vulnerability, please read this website: https://httpoxy.org/

Apache

Please append setting below in Apache config file:

• on RHEL/CentOS, it's /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf.
• on Debian/Ubuntu, it's /etc/apache2/apache2.conf.
• on FreeBSD, it's /usr/local/etc/apache2[X]/httpd.conf. Please replace apache2[X] by the real Apache version number here.
• on OpenBSD: not applicable because iRedMail doesn't use Apache on OpenBSD.

RequestHeader unset Proxy early

Restarting Apache service is required.

Nginx

Please open all files under below directories which contains fastcgi_pass parameter:

• On Linux/OpenBSD:
  • /etc/nginx/templates/
  • /etc/nginx/conf.d/
• On FreeBSD:
  • /usr/local/etc/nginx/templates
  • /usr/local/etc/nginx/conf.d/

If config file contains fastcgi_pass parameter, please append below one after it:

fastcgi_param HTTP_PROXY '';

Restart Nginx service is required.

Fixed: not enable opportunistic TLS support in Postfix

iRedMail-0.9.5 and iRedMail-0.9.5-1 didn't enable opportunistic TLS support in Postfix, this causes other servers cannot transfer emails via TLS secure connection. Please fix it with commands below.

postconf -e smtpd_tls_security_level='may'
postfix reload

Fixed: one incorrect HELO restriction rule in Postfix

There's one incorrect HELO restriction rule file helo_access.pcre

• on Linux/OpenBSD, it's /etc/postfix/helo_access.pcre
• on FreeBSD, it's /usr/local/etc/postfix/helo_access.pcre

It will match HELO identity like [192.168.1.1] which is legal.

/(\d{1,3}[\.-]\d{1,3}[\.-]\d{1,3}[\.-]\d{1,3})/ REJECT ACCESS DENIED. Your email was rejected because the sending mail server appears to be on a dynamic IP address that should not be doing direct mail delivery (${1})

Please replace it by the correct one below (it matches the IP address with /^IP$/ strictly):

/^(\d{1,3}[\.-]\d{1,3}[\.-]\d{1,3}[\.-]\d{1,3})$/ REJECT ACCESS DENIED. Your email was rejected because the sending mail server appears to be on a dynamic IP address that should not be doing direct mail delivery (${1})

Fixed: incorrect file owner and permission of config file of Roundcube password plugin

iRedMail-0.9.5-1 and earlier versions didn't correct set file owner and permission of config file of Roundcube password plugin, other system users may be able to see the SQL/LDAP username and password in the config file. Please follow steps below to fix it.

• On RHEL/CentOS:

For Apache server:

chown apache:apache /var/www/roundcubemail/plugins/password/config.inc.php
chmod 0400 /var/www/roundcubemail/plugins/password/config.inc.php

For Nginx:

chown nginx:nginx /var/www/roundcubemail/plugins/password/config.inc.php
chmod 0400 /var/www/roundcubemail/plugins/password/config.inc.php

• On Debian/Ubuntu (Note: with old iRedMail release, Roundcube directory is /usr/share/apache2/roundcubemail):

chown www-data:www-data /opt/www/roundcubemail/plugins/password/config.inc.php
chmod 0400 /opt/www/roundcubemail/plugins/password/config.inc.php

• On FreeBSD:

chown www:www /usr/local/www/roundcubemail/plugins/password/config.inc.php
chmod 0400 /usr/local/www/roundcubemail/plugins/password/config.inc.php

• On FreeBSD:

chown www:www /var/www/roundcubemail/plugins/password/config.inc.php
chmod 0400 /var/www/roundcubemail/plugins/password/config.inc.php

Fixed: Nginx doesn't forward real client IP address to SOGo

iRedMail-0.9.5-1 and earlier releases didn't correctly configure Nginx to forward real client IP address to SOGo, this causes Fail2ban cannot catch bad clients with failed authentication while logging to SOGo. Please try steps below to fix it.

• Open file /etc/nginx/templates/sogo.tmpl (on Linux or OpenBSD) or /usr/local/etc/nginx/templates/sogo.tmpl (on FreeBSD), find 3 lines like below:

    #proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
    #proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    #proxy_set_header Host $host;

• Remove the leading # to uncomment them:

    proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    proxy_set_header Host $host;

• Restart Nginx service.

Fixed: SOGo-3.1.3 (and later releases) changed argument used by sogo-tool command

SOGo-3.1.3 (and late releases) changed sogo-tool argument expire-autoreply to update-autoreply, and it's used in a daily cron job. Please update SOGo cron job to fix it.

• Edit SOGo deamon user's cron job with command.

  • On Linux: crontab -e -u sogo
  • On FreeBSD: crontab -e -u sogod
  • On OpenBSD: crontab -e -u _sogo

• Replace the argument expire-autoreply by update-autoreply.

OpenLDAP backend special

Fixed: mail accounts (user, alias, list) are still active when domain is disabled

This fix is applicable to OpenBSD ldapd backend also.

In iRedMail-0.9.5-1 and all earlier releases, if we disable a mail domain, all mail accounts (mail users, aliases, lists) are still active and Postfix will accept emails sent to them. Steps below fix the issue.

Update OpenLDAP config file to index new attribute name: domainStatus

• Please open OpenLDAP config file slapd.conf, find line below:
  • On RHEL/CentOS, it's /etc/openldap/slapd.conf
  • On Debian/Ubuntu, it's /etc/ldap/slapd.conf
  • On FreeBSD, it's /usr/local/etc/openldap/slapd.conf
  • On OpenBSD, it's /etc/openldap/slapd.conf. If you're running ldapd as LDAP server, please add a new line index domainStats in the namespace xxx {} block.

access to attrs="employeeNumber,mail,..."

• Add new attribute name domainStatus in this line (WARNING: don't leave any whitespace between attribute names and comma):

access to attrs="domainStatus,employeeNumber,mail,..."

Use the latest iRedMail LDAP schema file

• On RHEL/CentOS:

cd /tmp
wget https://bitbucket.org/zhb/iredmail/raw/default/iRedMail/samples/iredmail/iredmail.schema

cd /etc/openldap/schema/
cp iredmail.schema iredmail.schema.bak

cp -f /tmp/iredmail.schema /etc/openldap/schema/
service slapd restart

• On Debian/Ubuntu:

cd /tmp
wget https://bitbucket.org/zhb/iredmail/raw/default/iRedMail/samples/iredmail/iredmail.schema

cd /etc/ldap/schema/
cp iredmail.schema iredmail.schema.bak

cp -f /tmp/iredmail.schema /etc/ldap/schema/
service slapd restart

• On FreeBSD:

cd /tmp
wget https://bitbucket.org/zhb/iredmail/raw/default/iRedMail/samples/iredmail/iredmail.schema

cd /usr/local/etc/openldap/schema/
cp iredmail.schema iredmail.schema.bak

cp -f /tmp/iredmail.schema /usr/local/etc/openldap/schema/
service slapd restart

• On OpenBSD:

  Note: if you're running ldapd as LDAP server, the schema directory is /etc/ldap, and service name is ldapd.

cd /tmp
ftp https://bitbucket.org/zhb/iredmail/raw/default/iRedMail/samples/iredmail/iredmail.schema

cd /etc/openldap/schema/
cp iredmail.schema iredmail.schema.bak

cp -f /tmp/iredmail.schema /etc/openldap/schema/
rcctl restart slapd

Update Postfix/Dovecot LDAP lookup files

• On Linux and OpenBSD, run commands:

cp -rf /etc/postfix/ldap /etc/postfix/ldap.$(date +%Y%m%d)
cd /etc/postfix/ldap/
perl -pi -e 's#\(accountStatus=active\)#(accountStatus=active)(!(domainStatus=disabled))#g' catchall_maps.cf recipient_bcc_maps_user.cf sender_bcc_maps_user.cf sender_dependent_relayhost_maps_user.cf sender_login_maps.cf transport_maps_user.cf virtual_alias_maps.cf virtual_group_maps.cf virtual_group_members_maps.cf virtual_mailbox_maps.cf

cp /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.$(date +%Y%m%d)
perl -pi -e 's#\(accountStatus=active\)#(accountStatus=active)(!(domainStatus=disabled))#g' /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf

• On FreeBSD, run commands:

cp -rf /usr/local/etc/postfix/ldap /usr/local/etc/postfix/ldap.$(date +%Y%m%d)
cd /usr/local/etc/postfix/ldap/
perl -pi -e 's#\(accountStatus=active\)#(accountStatus=active)(!(domainStatus=disabled))#g' catchall_maps.cf recipient_bcc_maps_user.cf sender_bcc_maps_user.cf sender_dependent_relayhost_maps_user.cf sender_login_maps.cf transport_maps_user.cf virtual_alias_maps.cf virtual_group_maps.cf virtual_group_members_maps.cf virtual_mailbox_maps.cf

cp /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.$(date +%Y%m%d)
perl -pi -e 's#\(accountStatus=active\)#(accountStatus=active)(!(domainStatus=disabled))#g' /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf

• Restart both Postfix and Dovecot services:
  • on Linux: service postfix restart; service dovecot restart
  • on FreeBSD: service postfix restart; service dovecot restart
  • on OpenBSD: rcctl restart postfix; rcctl restart dovecot

Add required LDAP attribute/value for existing mail accounts under disabled domains

• Download script to update existing mail accounts:

cd /root/
wget https://bitbucket.org/zhb/iredmail/raw/default/extra/update/updateLDAPValues_095_1_to_096.py

• Open downloaded file updateLDAPValues_095_1_to_096.py, set LDAP server related settings in this file. For example:

# Part of file: updateLDAPValues_095_1_to_096.py

uri = 'ldap://127.0.0.1:389'
basedn = 'o=domains,dc=example,dc=com'
bind_dn = 'cn=vmailadmin,dc=example,dc=com'
bind_pw = 'passwd'

You can find required LDAP credential in iRedAdmin config file or iRedMail.tips file under your iRedMail installation directory. Using either cn=Manager,dc=xx,dc=xx or cn=vmailadmin,dc=xx,dc=xx as bind dn is ok, both of them have read-write privilege to update mail accounts.

• Execute this script, it will add required data:

# python updateLDAPValues_095_1_to_096.py
