Mailserver 4.6 released

Submitted Dec 22, 2009 in Mailserver: General 84

After a long wait 4.6 release is finally ready

The specific updates in this release includes:

  • Server Side Mail Filter configuration for each user
  • Updated Spam Configuration for users
  • Updated Spam learning, no need to use separate learn mailboxes anymore (Old spam boxes will be deleted during upgrade)
  • Milter type Antivirus and unwanted content type configuration
  • Updated Greylist function (greylisting is now enabled on default) with flexible configuration
  • OpenBSD 4.6 base OS + all updated base packages (postfix, dovecot, SpamAssassin, ClamAV, ...)
  • Roundcube 0.3.1 Webmail + extensions
  • Nginx webserver instead of Apache - faster and less memory usage
  • Use TLS when sending emails if it's supported by the receiving mailserver
  • Allow "-" in usernames and use "+" for address expansion instead (postfix default)

 

A couple of things to note:

  • The Spam/Detected, Spam/LearnAsSpam and Spam/LearnAsNoSpam folders will be deleted. In the 4.6 system only the Spam folder is used.
  • To learn spam and no-spam in 4.6, simply move spam into the Spam folder. To learn no-spam, move the non-spam mail from the Spam folder out of the Spam folder. Much simpler.

 

 

What's coming in v1.3

Submitted Nov 06, 2009 in Filetransfer: General 4

Development of version 1.3 is well under way with some very nice additions. On the user interface side of things,

  • the send page has been updated to be even cleaner than before. 
  • The configuration pages are currently been worked on with the branding page shown in the screenshot below.
  • It'll be easier to change the branding with easily changeable background images for header and footer.

In the background there's been some significant changes as well:
  • The flash upload component has been removed. This will allow far larger uploads. See the attached screenshots for sending a 6Gb file.
  • Apache has been replaced with nginx. This will speed things up in general and reduce memory usage.

 

Some features will also be removed/simplified:

  • Remote authentication will be LDAP only. This is what everyone wants anyway. It'll be revamped so that there's a testing mechanism at the configurations page to test the LDAP authentication.
  • Support Internet Explorer 6 and before will end. IE6 cannot handle larger files than 4Gb. It will simply roll over and a 4.1Gb file will be downloaded as a 0.1Gb file. There will be a warning if you're using IE6 but the system won't prevent you from using it.
Please open a support case if you want to be part of the beta testing. 
Looking forward to releasing this in a few weeks time (hopefully).
