ChangeLog

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:

0.9.7

Upgrade iRedAPD (Postfix policy server) to the latest stable release (2.2)

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

Fixed: SOGo backup script contains 3 issues

SOGo backup script /var/vmail/backup/backup_sogo.sh shipped in iRedMail-0.9.7 and earlier releases contains 3 issues:

To fix them, please download the latest version and override the one on your system:

Attention

Script backup_sogo.sh uses /var/vmail/backup to store backup files by default, if you use a different directory, please edit this file and modify parameter BACKUP_ROOTDIR= to use the correct one.

cd /var/vmail/backup/
wget https://bitbucket.org/zhb/iredmail/raw/default/iRedMail/tools/backup_sogo.sh
chown root backup_sogo.sh
chmod 0400 backup_sogo.sh

[OPTIONAL] Fix improper expected DNSBL filter for site b.barracudacentral.org

Postfix config file generated by iRedMail enables DNSBL service for postscreen service like below:

postscreen_dnsbl_sites =
    zen.spamhaus.org=127.0.0.[2..11]*3
    b.barracudacentral.org=127.0.0.[2..11]*2

but site b.barracudacentral.org returns only domain 127.0.0.2 (instead of a range from 127.0.0.2 to 127.0.0.11), so we should change the b.barracudacentral.org=127.0.0.[2..11]*2 line to:

postscreen_dnsbl_sites =
    zen.spamhaus.org=127.0.0.[2..11]*3
    b.barracudacentral.org=127.0.0.2*2

Reloading or restarting Postfix is required.

[OPTIONAL] Log mail subject, sender, size in mail deliver log

If you may need to get more info of (locally) delivered mail messages, Dovecot setting deliver_log_format can log extra mail subject, sender, and message size in mail deliver log. Please append this setting in Dovecot config file dovecot.conf, then restart or reload Dovecot service. On Linux/OpenBSD, it's /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf On FreeBSD, it's /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf

deliver_log_format = from=%{from}, envelope_sender=%{from_envelope}, subject=%{subject}, msgid=%m, size=%{size}, %$

MySQL/MariaDB backends

Fixed: User under disabled domain is able to send email with smtp protocol

Dovecot is IMAP/POP3/Managesieve server, also a SASL auth server for Postfix. If mail domain is disabled, users under this domain are not able to use IMAP/POP3/Managesieve services, but there's a bug in Dovecot SQL query, it doesn't check domain status while performing smtp sasl auth. Please follow steps below to fix it.

password_query = SELECT password, allow_nets FROM mailbox WHERE username='%u' AND enable%Ls%Lc=1 AND active=1

password_query = SELECT mailbox.password, mailbox.allow_nets \
        FROM mailbox,domain \
       WHERE mailbox.username='%u' \
             AND mailbox.`enable%Ls%Lc`=1 \
             AND mailbox.active=1 \
             AND mailbox.domain=domain.domain \
             AND domain.backupmx=0 \
             AND domain.active=1

             AND mailbox."enable%Ls%Lc"=1 \
             AND mailbox.active=1 \
             AND mailbox.domain=domain.domain \
             AND domain.backupmx=0 \
             AND domain.active=1
