iRedMail-0.8.0-beta1 is now available for testing, you can download it here: iRedMail-0.8.0-beta1.tar.bz2. We need your help to test it on all supported Linux/BSD distributions, especially test on Ubuntu 11.04/11.10 to make PostgreSQL backend stable.

NOTE: Please do NOT install beta releases on production server, there's no upgrade tutorials available for beta releases.

Major changes since iRedMail-0.7.4 are:

• You can now choose to store mail accounts and application data in PostgreSQL database. NOTE: PostgreSQL backend is available on only Ubuntu 11.04, 11.10.

• Upgrade Roundcube webmail to the latest stable release 0.7.1.

Known issues of iRedMail-0.8.0-beta1:

• Webui of Policyd-2 (code name 'cluebringer') is not enabled by default.

• Awstats is not accessible by default.

Both issues are related to Apache auth module: libapache2-mod-auth-pgsql. We cannot restrict web access with global domain admin with it, so they're disabled by default temporally.

There will be 2 or 3 beta releases available soon for new features:

• SpamAssassin bayesian filter and auto-learning

• PostgreSQL support in iRedAdmin, both open source edition and iRedAdmin-Pro

We need your help to make iRedMail work on Arch Linux also, please refer to this post:

- Call for help: Missing two required packages in Arch Linux

Please pay attention to below link if you have PostfixAdmin running:

iRedMail doesn't officially support PostfixAdmin since iRedMail-0.7.0 (released in Apr 2011), if you still have PostfixAdmin running, please upgrade it to the latest stable release AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

We’ve decided to increase the price of the iRedAdmin-Pro, the official web-based iRedMail admin panel. These changes only apply to new customers, so as long as you keep your license valid, you’ll keep the old annual upgrade fee. This change will occur on Nov 01, 2011.

The prices for new customers on Nov 01 will be:

• One-year License, from $199 to $299, annual renew fee will goes up from $99 to $199, upgrading to lifetime license goes up from $245 to $345.

• Lifetime license, from $399 to $599. No annual renew fee.

If you have any questions about the pricing changes, we would love to hear from you. You can contact us or leave a comment below.

Again, these rates will apply to new customers. Don't miss your chance to get iRedAdmin-Pro at old price.

I just finished DBMail integration tutorial below:

- Integrate DBMail in iRedMail (MySQL backend)
  http://iredmail.org/wiki/index.php?titl … QL.backend

DBMail is a POP3/IMAP/Managesieve server, also provides MDA programs used to store mail messages in SQL database (MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite). Interesting? Try it.

- Learn more about DBMail: http://www.dbmail.org/

Just a quick update, it's now able to store user password in plain text.

Brothner explains when he/she need to store password in plain text:

You will find an addition checkbox "Store password in plain text" while creating new user or resetting user password like below:
