General (All backends should apply these changes)

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:

0.9.9

Upgrade iRedAPD (Postfix policy server) to the latest stable release (3.1)

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

Upgrade iRedAdmin (open source edition) to the latest stable release (0.9.4)

!!! attention

In this release, iRedAdmin (and iRedAdmin-Pro) is running as a standalone
service named "iredadmin", each time you modified its config file, please
restart the service ("iredadmin").

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

Upgrade mlmmjadmin to the latest stable release (2.0)

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

Upgrade Roundcube webmail to the latest stable release (1.3.8)

!!! warning "Roundcube 1.3"

* Roundcube 1.3 requires at least __PHP 5.4__. If your server is still running
  PHP 5.3 and cannot upgrade to 5.4, please upgrade Roundcube to the latest
  1.2 branch (1.2.5) instead.
* Roundcube 1.3 no longer supports IE < 10 and old versions of Firefox,
  Chrome and Safari.
* Roundcube 1.3 uses jQuery 3.2 and will not work with current jQuery
  mobile plugin. If you use any third-party plugin, please check its
  website to make sure it's compatible with Roundcube 1.3 before upgrading.

With the release of Roundcube 1.3.0, the previous stable release branches
1.2.x and 1.1.x will switch in to LTS low maintenance mode which means
they will only receive important security updates but no longer any regular
improvement updates.

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

How to upgrade Roundcube.

Upgrade netdata to the latest stable release (1.11.1)

If you have netdata installed, you can upgrade it by following this tutorial: Upgrade netdata.

Fix improper Nginx config files for Roundcube

Accurate Nginx url match helps avoid namespace conflicts, we need some fixes for Roundcube to get accurate url match.

Please open file /etc/nginx/templates/roundcube.tmpl, find location directives like below:

location ~ /mail/(bin|config|installer|logs|SQL|temp|vendor)($|/.*) { deny all; }
location ~ /mail/(CHANGELOG|composer.json|INSTALL|jsdeps.json|LICENSE|README|UPGRADING)($|.*) { deny all; }
location ~ /mail/plugins/.*/config.inc.php.* { deny all; }
location ~ /mail/plugins/enigma/home($|/.*) { deny all; }

Add a ^ symbol before url path, this will exactly match the url begins with the path.

location ~ ^/mail/(bin|config|installer|logs|SQL|temp|vendor)($|/.*) { deny all; }
location ~ ^/mail/(CHANGELOG|composer.json|INSTALL|jsdeps.json|LICENSE|README|UPGRADING)($|.*) { deny all; }
location ~ ^/mail/plugins/.*/config.inc.php.* { deny all; }
location ~ ^/mail/plugins/enigma/home($|/.*) { deny all; }

Open file /etc/nginx/templates/roundcube-subdomain.tmpl, find location directives like below:

location ~ /(bin|config|installer|logs|SQL|temp|vendor)($|/.*) { deny all; }
location ~ /(CHANGELOG|composer.json|INSTALL|jsdeps.json|LICENSE|README|UPGRADING)($|.*) { deny all; }
location ~ /plugins/.*/config.inc.php.* { deny all; }
location ~ /plugins/enigma/home($|/.*) { deny all; }

Add ^ symbol like below:

location ~ ^/(bin|config|installer|logs|SQL|temp|vendor)/.* { deny all; }
location ~ ^/(CHANGELOG|composer.json|INSTALL|jsdeps.json|LICENSE|README|UPGRADING)$ { deny all; }
location ~ ^/plugins/.*/config.inc.php.* { deny all; }
location ~ ^/plugins/enigma/home($|/.*) { deny all; }

Improve mlmmj script used for appending footer text

Run commands below to create file /usr/bin/mlmmj-amime-receive (Linux) or /usr/local/bin/mlmmj-amime-receive (FreeBSD/OpenBSD):

On Linux:

cd /usr/bin/
wget -O mlmmj-amime-receive https://github.com/iredmail/iRedMail/raw/1.0/samples/mlmmj/mlmmj-amime-receive
chown mlmmj:mlmmj mlmmj-amime-receive
chmod 0550 mlmmj-amime-receive

On FreeBSD or OpenBSD:

cd /usr/local/bin/
wget -O mlmmj-amime-receive https://github.com/iredmail/iRedMail/raw/1.0/samples/mlmmj/mlmmj-amime-receive
chown mlmmj:mlmmj mlmmj-amime-receive
chmod 0550 mlmmj-amime-receive

Fix address mapping issue for mlmmj mailing list

With default settings of iRedMail-0.9.8, if you use a per-user alias address as member of a mailing list, Postfix does not expand it to the final recipient. For more details of this bug, please check this forum post. Please follow steps below to fix it.

Open Amavisd config file, find the policy bank named MLMMJ like below:
- on RHEL/CentOS, it's /etc/amavisd/amavisd.conf
- on Debian/Ubuntu, it's /etc/amavis/conf.d/50-user
- on FreeBSD, it's /usr/local/etc/amavisd.conf
- on OpenBSD, it's /etc/amavisd.conf

$policy_bank{'MLMMJ'} = {
    ...
};

Add a new line inside the {} block:

$policy_bank{'MLMMJ'} = {
    ...
    forward_method => 'smtp:[127.0.0.1]:10028',
};

Here we use a new smtp port 10028.

Append new lines to file /etc/postfix/master.cf (Linux/OpenBSD) or /usr/local/etc/postfix/master.cf (FreeBSD):

127.0.0.1:10028 inet n  -   n   -   -  smtpd
    -o syslog_name=postfix/10028
    -o content_filter=
    -o mynetworks_style=host
    -o mynetworks=127.0.0.1
    -o local_recipient_maps=
    -o relay_recipient_maps=
    -o strict_rfc821_envelopes=yes
    -o smtp_tls_security_level=none
    -o smtpd_tls_security_level=none
    -o smtpd_restriction_classes=
    -o smtpd_delay_reject=no
    -o smtpd_client_restrictions=permit_mynetworks,reject
    -o smtpd_helo_restrictions=
    -o smtpd_sender_restrictions=
    -o smtpd_recipient_restrictions=permit_mynetworks,reject
    -o smtpd_end_of_data_restrictions=
    -o smtpd_error_sleep_time=0
    -o smtpd_soft_error_limit=1001
    -o smtpd_hard_error_limit=1000
    -o smtpd_client_connection_count_limit=0
    -o smtpd_client_connection_rate_limit=0
    -o receive_override_options=no_header_body_checks,no_unknown_recipient_checks

It's very similar to existing transport '10025', but without option no_address_mappings. Port 10025 is used BEFORE content filter, but 10028 is used AFTER content filter.

Restart both postfix and amavisd services.

Fixed: SOGo backup script doesn't set correct permission on backup files

SOGo backup script /var/vmail/backup/backup_sogo.sh shipped in iRedMail-0.9.8 and earlier releases doesn't set correct permission on backup files, 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 -O backup_sogo.sh https://github.com/iredmail/iRedMail/raw/1.0/tools/backup_sogo.sh
chown root backup_sogo.sh
chmod 0400 backup_sogo.sh

OpenLDAP special

Update iRedMail LDAP schema file

iRedMail-0.9.9 introduces 2 new LDAP attributes for mail user account:

mailboxFormat: used to store mailbox format. All formats supported by Dovecot are ok. for example, maildir, mdbox. For more details, please check Dovecot document here: https://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailboxFormat
mailboxFolder: used to store the folder name which will be appended to maildir path. Defaults to Maildir.

With these 2 new attributes, it will be very easy to switch different mailbox format.

!!! warning

If you use different mailbox format, you need to set mailbox format to the
one you're using.

Download the latest iRedMail LDAP schema file

Dovecot: read mailbox format from LDAP

Please open file /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf (Linux/OpenBSD) or /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf (FreeBSD), find the user_attrs = line like below:

user_attrs      = mail=master_user,mail=user,homeDirectory=home,=mail=maildir:~/Maildir/,mailQuota=quota_rule=*:bytes=%$

Please replace it by below one:

user_attrs      = mail=master_user,mail=user,=home=%L{ldap:homeDirectory},=mail=%{ldap:mailboxFormat:maildir}:~/%{ldap:mailboxFolder:Maildir}/,mailQuota=quota_rule=*:bytes=%$

If attribute mailboxFormat doesn't present in user object, Dovecot will use string maildir as default value.

For more details about changing mailbox format, please check our tutorial: Change mailbox format.

Restarting Dovecot service is required.

[OPTIONAL] Monitoring OpenLDAP with netdata

netdata-1.11.1 (released on 23 Nov 2018) supports monitoring OpenLDAP through its monitor backend. Please follow this tutorial to upgrade netdata and configure both OpenLDAP and netdata for monitoring.

MySQL/MariaDB special

SQL structure changes in `vmail` database

We've made some changes to vmail database:

New SQL column mailbox.mailboxformat: used to store mailbox format. All formats supported by Dovecot are ok. for example, maildir, mdbox. Default value is maildir. For more details, please check Dovecot document here: https://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailboxFormat
mailboxfolder: used to store the folder name which will be appended to maildir path. Defaults to Maildir.

With these 2 new columns, it will be very easy to migrate existing mailbox to different mailbox format, or set different mailbox for new user.

!!! warning

If you use different mailbox format, you need to set mailbox format to the
one you're using.

Download SQL template file and import it:

cd /root/
wget -O iredmail.mysql https://github.com/iredmail/iRedMail/raw/1.0/update/0.9.9/iredmail.mysql
mysql vmail < /root/iredmail.mysql

Dovecot: read mailbox format from SQL

Please open file /etc/dovecot/dovecot-mysql.conf (Linux/OpenBSD) or /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot-mysql.conf (FreeBSD), find the user_query = line like below:

user_query = SELECT \
            ...
            CONCAT(mailbox.storagebasedirectory, '/', mailbox.storagenode, '/', mailbox.maildir) AS home, \
            ...

Update above line and also add a new CONCAT line after it:

user_query = SELECT \
            ...
            LOWER(CONCAT(mailbox.storagebasedirectory, '/', mailbox.storagenode, '/', mailbox.maildir)) AS home, \
