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.

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

Note: If you're running iRedMail with OpenLDAP or MySQL/MariaDB backend, upgrading from iRedAPD-1.6.0 or earlier releases to the latest iRedAPD-1.7.0 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.

Important notes:

iRedAPD-1.7.0 doesn't enable greylisting by default, please enable plugin greylisting in iRedAPD config file (/opt/iredapd/settings.py), then execute SQL command below to enable server-wide greylisting:

sql> USE iredapd;
sql> INSERT INTO greylisting (account, priority, sender, sender_priority, active) VALUES ('@.', 0, '@.', 0, 1);

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 if you manage white/blacklists with iRedAdmin-Pro.
