Topic: iRedMail-0.7.4 has been released.

Dear all,

iRedMail-0.7.4 stable release has been released.

Below's DRAFT plan for iRedMail-0.8, please don't hesitate to let us know your opinions:

  • Drop support for old Linux/BSD releases:

    • Ubuntu 8.04, 9.04, 9.10

    • openSUSE 11.3, 11.4

    • FreeBSD 7.x

  • Arch Linux support. Maybe supported in iRedMail-0.7.5.

  • PostgreSQL support in both iRedMail and iRedAdmin-Pro

  • SpamAssassin: Bayesian spam filtering and self-learning

  • [PROBABLY] OpenBSD support

Major changes since iRedMail-0.7.3:

  • It now works on Ubuntu 11.10, openSUSE-12.1. iRedMail now supports 7 major Linux/BSD distributions, check full list here.

  • Store realtime mailbox quota in separate SQL table to avoid mailbox migration issue. MySQL backend special.

  • Add Policyd-2.0.x (code name "cluebringer") support on Ubuntu 11.10. Important Note: iRedAdmin-Pro doesn't support Policyd-2 yet, customers have to manage Policyd-2 with its built-in webui.

  • Enable two sample dovecot sieve filters in Roundcube webmail: Move spam to Junk, Vacation. Both are disabled by default. With these two samples, end users can easily set vacation message or move spam to Junk folder.

  • SPF verification is now enabled by default.

  • Fixed:

    • Apache daemon user doesn't have permission to read Apache log files in Awstats's cron job.

    • Incorrect per-user realtime mailbox quota if loggin in with shadowAddress. OpenLDAP backend only. Thanks tmihalicek tomislav.mihalicek @gmail>.

    • Incorrect per-user sieve_dir setting in Dovecot. Thanks cetex <oskar@cetex>.

    • Add missing INDEXes for Amavisd database: msgs.mail_id, (msgs.content, msgs.time_num), quarantine.mail_id. Thanks rjnena <rjnena@gmail>, David <dcharbonnier@gmail>.

  • Package update:

    • Roundcube webmail -> 0.7.0.

    • phpMyAdmin -> 3.4.8

    • phpLDAPadmin -> 1.2.2

That's all you need to do to upgrade from 0.7.3 to 0.7.4.

iRedMail.sh is used for new fresh installation. Usually, Upgrading iRedMail is just updating config files.

Re: iRedMail-0.7.4 has been released.

Hi Zhang,

Roundcube 0.7.1 bugfix release has come immediate after stable release 0.7 .
If we install fresh iRedmail 0.7.4,Roundcube 0.7.1 will be installed by default ?

Thanks.

Re: iRedMail-0.7.4 has been released.

No. iRedMail-0.7.4 ships 0.7.0. You can upgrade Roundcube to 0.7.1 manually.

Re: iRedMail-0.7.4 has been released.

Re: iRedMail-0.7.4 has been released.

About upgrading Policyd from 1.8 to 2.x, there's no official upgrade tutorials available, so please just stay on Policyd-1.8. Then push Policyd developers to release upgrade tutorials. http://policyd.sf.net/

Im doing here a brand new installation, but I got the following error message:

php5-mcrypt set to manually installed.
php5-mysql is already the newest version.

Since I have a newer version of php5-common, what should I do??

Re: iRedMail-0.7.4 has been released.

Hi!
I've just installed iRedMail 0.74 LDAP version on Debian squeeze (64bit) and I want to notice you something that may be wrong: I've found two file "aliases" on my system: /etc/alises and /etc/postfix/aliases. These files are very similar but your /etc/postfix/aliases has duplicated entry for "root":

/etc/postfix/aliases wrote:

# /etc/aliases
mailer-daemon: postmaster
postmaster: root
nobody: root
hostmaster: root
usenet: root
news: root
webmaster: root
www: root
ftp: root
abuse: root
noc: root
security: root
root: test
clamav: root
root: www@testdomain.lan
policyd: www@testdomain.lan
amavis: root

Secondly, system services that use smtp to send warning (like mdadm) still use mail aliases from previous /etc/aliases:

www: root
ftp: root

noc: root
security: root
root: test
clamav: root

I've removed existent /etc/aliases and I've replaced it with a symlink to /etc/postfix/aliases. After that, I've used the command "newalias" to update /etc/postfix/aliases.db and now anything seems to work fine.

iRedMail doesn't create this alias, it was copied from /etc/aliases (see comment below).

But i did a quick fix for this: comment out all aliases for root, then add 'root: www@xxx'.

if /etc/aliases doesn't exist, iRedMail will create an empty /etc/postfix/aliases first, then add others (root, amavis, policyd, etc).

Yes, "test" is the "first user" that I've created at the end of the debian setup, following the installer instructions. So I suppose that iRedMail installation fail to replace this line alias with "root: www@xxx" during setup process when coping the content of /etc/aliases to /etc/postfix/aliases.

ZhangHuangbin wrote:

Yes, done. But I need also to run again the command "newalias" to update /etc/postfix/aliases.db
Could an outdated /etc/postfix/aliases.db cause the problem of sending mails to incorrect aliases that I reported earlier?

Right.
But why you haven't choose to replace the old /etc/aliases (now outdated) with a symlink to the new (updated) file placed in /etc/postfix? Is a wrong procedure? I ask you just for curiosity...

Yes. You have to execute 'newaliases' after modified /etc/postfix/aliases.

/etc/aliases is usually used by Sendmail, not Postfix. I don't think it's not a good idea to use the same config file in two MTAs.
