Fixed an issue with attachments on the Web Interface.

July 28 2022, v2.0.4.0

Optimized SMTP connections, and fixed a bug in IMAP connections.

July 05 2022, v2.0.3.0

Fixed problems with POP3 connections;
Fixed issues with using remote SQL server;

June 09 2022, v2.0.2.0

Now DKIM checking for incoming messages honors signatures, which are done "on behalf" of other domains;
Fixed issues which would potentially cause high CPU usage in case of data corruption;

April 17 2022, v2.0.1.0

Fixed problems with retrieving statistics to the UI;
Fixed a problem with checking SPF records, containing IPv6 addresses;
Added a feature to export server settings into Linux/Docker version, which is coming soon.

March 18 2022, v2.0.0.0

Preparing the release the version which will work on Linux. It required pretty significant changes.

This version requires .NET Framework 4.8 runtime/

POP before SMTP and Trusted senders options are no longer available, because they are against modern security guidelines;
Remoting interface has been removed. We will be replacing it with new RESTful API;
Added support of TLS 1.3. Please note, that TLS 1.3 is not yet available on any Windows, but when it is out, it will work with the current version of the server;
Multiple "behind of scenes" changes in the code to make the server more "responsive". Applies both to the service part and the User Interface

September 2 2021, v1.4.0.0

Now problems, caused by AbuseIPDB being down are handled properly (further fixes);
DKIM has moved out from the Anti-Spam box. Now any domain can be added to the list of domains, and if mail originates from them (FROM header), the server will append DKIM signatures;
Ensured that the server will not generate duplicate Message-IDs. It was the case when messages coming in within very small intervals;
Improved handling of 7-bit encoded messages. Message bodies were getting corrupted when retrieving through POP3;

July 30 2021, v1.3.9.0

Now problems, caused by AbuseIPDB being down are handled properly;
Fixed certain UI issues, when adding domains to the server;
Fixed error handling, when setting up DKIM for mailbag and selector is not specified;
Fixed Index out of Range error when received message contained empty body;
Services Settings box are now more consistent with each other (no longer using Disable checkbox, replaced with Enable).

July 17 2021, v1.3.8.0

Now the server fully supports IPv6!

Added IPv6 support to primary SMTP. Banned and trusted IP addresses now will accept IPv6 entries. DNSBL and SPF will work with IPv6 addresses;
Now delivery can be performed using IPv6 connections;
Fixed DKIM signature issues with simple/simple canonicalization method (the bug was introduced in 1.3.7.0, sorry);
Improved error handling. Now, "More than one error has occurred" messages will be followed by a more detailed explanation, if available;
Added IPv6 support to Recommendations;
Added DKIM to Mailbag domains. In case a mailbag server is used to send mail out from mailbag domains, messages will be signed.

July 05 2021, v1.3.7.0

If an incoming message contains multiple DKIM signatures from a domain, referred to in the FROM header, one with the "best result" will be taken into account;
Now the server security can be tightened even more. Added two more options at Settings - Services dialog box:
- SMTP - Common section, Accept mail ONLY if a connection is secure. If enabled, the DATA SMTP command will be accepted only if a connection is secure;
- Delivery section, Deliver mail ONLY if a connection is secure. If enabled, and receiving mail exchanger does not support STARTTLS, or if a secure connection fails, mail will be bounced to sender;
Note, that those options should be used with caution, only when security is a high priority. If they are used unnecessarily, some emails may be lost;
Added DMARC to Recommendations (Tools - Recommendations), also the way of generating recommendations has been optimized.

June 08 2021, v1.3.6.0

Added support of DMARC. See more about the implementation here.
Removed checking of email addresses with sending servers, as outdated (Anti-Spam - Address Verification - Verify Addresses with Sender Domains). It still can be enabled. Check Mail Server FAQ or Contact us, if you want it back;
Added a no-reply attribute to user accounts. If it is set, the server will reject all arriving mail to the account;
Slightly improved log viewer.

April 2 2021, v1.3.3.0

Added Contacts to Web Interface;
Some improvements and optimizations on Web Interface;

March 10 2021, v1.3.2.0

Added Calendar. It is served through web interface. See more here;
Added SAVEDATE IMAP extension (rfc 8514);
Improved Log Viewer (Logs - View Log). Now lines can be filtered. It makes it easier to folow single connection. Also, IP addresses can be highlighted in the log and sent straight to Banned Hosts, Trusted Hosts or Auto Lockout databases;
Fixed an issue with Distribution Lists. They were case sensitive, and certain features were not working properly, if catch-all account was specified.
AbuseIPDb Blacklists Database update now happens with low priority thread, and it should affect the server performance less during the database update;
Server now includes console application ConsoleBackup.exe, which will allow to run backup from a command line. See more here;
Fixed dropped connection problems after receiving QUIT command in SMTP and POP3.

March 03 2021, v1.3.1.0

Allowed Password length for user accounts increased from 16 to 20;
The service modules and the user interface now will communicate through named pipe, instead of UDP protocol. It will increase efficiency and avoid data loss;
Now name of Spam folder, used by SpamAssassin, can be changed (Edit User - Anti Spam tab);
Starting from this version, outdated authentication methods, such as POP/IMAP before SMTP and Trusted Senders are, by default, hidden. They are not secure and come from old times, when email clients did not support SMTP authentication. They can still be enabled by altering Settings.xml file;

February 12 2021, v1.2.9.0

Now, Server Greetings for SMTP, IMAP and POP3 protocols, also User-Agent header, sent by web interface, can be fully customized;

- Changed the content of login "cookie". Now it contains just an loging ID, instead of enctrypted username/password (it is safer).
Now users can have separate logs for each protocol. Makes logs easier to read and analyze. Settings - Options - General - Use Separate Logs.

June 5 2019, v1.1.7.0

Added support of IPv6 addresses to Secondary SMTP, POP3, IMAP and Web services. Running Primary SMTP and Delivery services on IPv6 would cause complications with IP based anti-spam features;
Now services can bind to All IPv4, All IPv6, or any individually selected IP address(es). In earlier versions they could be bound either to all IPv4 addresses, or just one selected address;
Refactored most of the code, that handles asynchronous connections. Now server will require less CPU resources and be more responsive. More optimizations are coming;
Fixed certain issues with Web interface;
Improved handling of non-unicode messages;
Fixed minor issues with Recommendations;
Modified RECEIVED header, so that it includes TLS information (if it was used).

May 22 2019, v1.1.6.0

Added Web Interface. It is a separate Web (HTTP) service, build into the server. It runs along and with the same "rights" with other services (like SMTP, IMAP, POP3), and can be configured the similar way. No third party servers are required. Currently it is pretty limited: you can only check email, and only in Inbox folder. More, including server administration, is coming in future versions. Both, HTTP and HTTPS are supported;
Improved handling of Recommendations, introduced in version 1.1.5.0: Added checking of server certificate, also verifies whether DKIM key pair is set up properly and they match. Also, if there is an error generating recommendations, it stops wherever error occurs, rather than generating an exception and halting the execution;
If there is a problem with inserting DKIM Signature, email will be still sent. In previous versions the server was generating and error and not sending the mail.
Updated the UI for DKIM section. Listbox of domains, which was rather confusing, was replaced by a dropdown list. Also, now you DKIM settings can be tested on the spot. Uses the same method as recommendations, mentioned above.

April 30 2019, v1.1.5.0

Added Recommendations. Tools - Recommendations will generate a report, which will suggest how to improve your settings to optimize delivery to external recipients;
Added an option to display in clear text passwords for failed connections. May help to track down hackers. See Settings - Options - Advanced - Show "Failed" passwords in logs.

October 08 2011, v1.0.8.2

Optimized delivery speed. In earlier versions each "tick" which was checking whether messages were in the outbox queue, was picking up only one message at a time. Now it will attempt to pick MaximumAllowedThreads-ActiveDelivery threads messages, which should considerably increase deliver speed;
Optimized SEARCH and STATUS IMAP commands. They appear to be used very extensively by Android, and (not that extensively, but still) by iPhone. Now users who use mobile phones to access their IMAP accounts will see considerable improvement;
Optimized STORE IMAP command. Before storing of IMAP flags was occuring one message at a time, which seemed to be fine with SQL server, but proved to be slow for SQLite... Now it happens with single SQL call.

June 06 2011, v1.0.8.1

Fixed a bug: when using IMAP via Firefox with "When I delete a message, move it to Trash folder" option, marking messages in the trash folder was causing high CPU usage, and was taking some time, making the server pretty much non-responsive. The problem was happening only when using SQLite.

May 23 2011, v1.0.8.0

Made other improvements, such as, now mailbox rebuild indexes orphaned records, rather then deleting them, also added an opotion to increment UIDL validity of folder (both on the Mailbox viewer box);
Made minor improvements on web interface;

February 15 2011, v1.0.7.8

Added support of SpamAssassin well tested and well known anti-spam project by Apache; Special thanks to Mr Hans Lockermeier for help.

Fixed ongoing bugs and problems, making server more stable;

May 17 2010, v1.0.7.7

Mail Server

Fixed a bug - "Use Simple SMTP" setting was not on on the Server Options - SMTP section, server was timing out;

Web Interface

No changes;

May 12 2010, v1.0.7.6

Mail Server

Improved handling of lenghty SMTP connections. New method should eliminate problems with "stuck" SMTP connections, which waere causing high CPU load and, eventually, server crash on heavy loaded servers;
Now individual domain groups can be exported and imported. Useful when splitting server between several computers;
Fixed several minor problems;

Web Interface

Fixed several problems with displaying complex messages on the web interface;

February 25 2010, v1.0.7.5

Mail Server

Hopefully fixed a problem which was causing mail server to stop

Web Interface

Web interface now will work with Safari;

February 21 2010, v1.0.7.4

Mail Server

SMTP now supports two methods of authentication: AUTH PLAIN and AUTH LOGIN;
Improved the way how "stuck" delivery threads are getting cancelled. In some cases with previous versions they could stay connected infinitely long;
If a domain is in greylisting exception, and SPF is PASS, DNSBL will be not checked - to avoid blocking messages, when single IP addresses belonging to large ISPs are blacklisted by DNSBL databases;
Now there is an option to check all IP addresses, referred to in RECEIVED headers, against DNSBL databases;
If autoresponder is enabled, and return address is not specified, now the server will use username, plus @ symbol, plus either the first domain in the list belonging to the domain group, or domain group name itself;
If SMTP for account is disabled for an account, connection will be still accepted, if it comes from web interface;
If there is an unsuccessful attempt to log into the POP3 or IMAP server, or perform uncussessful SMTP Authentication, and entry is created in the Windows application log;

Web Interface

Fixed a problem with messages, containing embedded images with same name - was giving Resource already in use error when displaying images;

January 03 2010, v1.0.7.3

Mail Server

In previous versions "stuck" IMAP connections were not getting disconnected, because it was assumed that IDLE command can "stick around" infinitely. It turned out, some clients (e.g., iPhone and iPod) do not use IDLE command, but still leave connections open, which causes open IMAP connections to add up. In this version IMAP connection gets periodically checked, along with POP3 and SMTP connections, and gets disconnected, if it was around for long time, and currently is not in IDLE state;
Fixed a bug in Archiver: copy function was copying entire folder, not just a selection;
If a list of trusted or banned hosts contained blank entry, it was returning false positives. Now blank entries are just removed;
If remoting service cannot start, now it not affect other services. Before it would crash other services too;
Added View Log Folder option to the mail server UI;
Now catching exception when reading server start date/time. It appears, server startup times was not getting stored properly into the Settings.xml file on non-English versions of Windows;
License is now checked onlny at server startup, rather then during each connection. It appears, decrypting of the license and checking it's signature was taking pretty long time on some systems;

Web Interface

Fixed a problem with processing MIME messages, when part separators (boundaries) contain space;

October 04 2009, v1.0.7.2

Mail Server

Fixed long delay when sending mail to large mailing lists, containing large number of local recipients;
Optimized access to trusted and banned hosts lists;

Further optimized resource consuming processes, such as POP3, IMAP and delivery;

Web Interface

Fixed multiple problems with displaying complex multipart messages;

Skipped - just internal technical problems...

July 16 2009, v1.0.7.0

Mail Server

Outgoing messages would loop infinitely, when there was a DNS server timeout when retrieving MX records;
Fixed a problem in IMAP, with displaying ? (question mark) sybmols in sender addresses, containing "high" ASCII characters. Would occur only when messages had attachments;
When deleting users, SQL command timeout increased from 30 seconds to 5 minutes. Was causing SQL server timeout when users had tens of thousands of messages;

Web Interface

No Changes

July 08 2009, v1.0.6.9

Mail Server

Fixed a security issue, which was intrduced in v1.0.6.8 after ading Trusted Senders feature...

Web Interface

Rich text control now also works with Internet Explorer 8, Safari and Chrome...

June 29 2009, v1.0.6.8

Mail Server

Users, domain groups and mailbags can have individual settings for nine anti-spam features supported by our server. Settings may be inherited from the "above" level, or overriden;
Added Trusted Senders - you can specify senders (email addresses), and if the value transmitted with RCPT TO SMTP command matches one of them, connection will be considered as trusted. We do not recommend to use this option, we added it for backward compatibility;
Fixed an Object Reference not Set on Object errors when mail was sent to non-existing domains. This error was not causing any problems, was just showing in the log, causing confusion;

Web Interface

Made changes to handle individual anti-spam settings (see in the Mail Server sectino above, first point). They are currently handled only for domain group administration section. For list of changes see this document.

June 09 2009, v1.0.6.7

Mail Server

Added Status page to the UI of mail server, now users can see "live" statistics for server;
Added buffered output to IMAP. It turns out, that some firewalls are corrupting data, if it is sent in small chunks. Buffering allows to avoid these problems;
Optimized database cleanup procedure at server startup. When DNS cache was large, removal of expired records was causing database server timeouts, and server was not starting up;
Added status bar to the mailbox viewer, and now message load is performed in a separate thread, which means, screen will no longer freeze when browsing folders containing large number of messages;
Fixed a bug with UID COPY IMAP command. When copying 1st message, was causing Index of Range errors;
Fixed a problem with accessing newly created users from web interface, default folders were going to as Shared folders area...

Web Interface

No changes...

If during reception, message size exceeds the maximum allowed size, the server will wait until entire message is received (without allocating additional memory), and send back a rejection error message only after sending MTA is done with transmission.

When checking reverse PTR records, in case lookup fails will assume PTR record does not exist;
Fixed a problem with Outlook Express in case email addresses of senders contained illegal characters. Outlook Express was just skipping them when accessing a mailbox using IMAP;

Web Interface

Created a page for localized resource files. If you are willing to contribute your resources, we would be very thankful;
It turns out, major IMAP clients do not allow renaming of the Inbox folder. They display localized name of Inbox, but an actual name of folder on the server stays "Inbox".

Server and Domain Group administration temporarily are not available. We will be releasing new separate web application, which will be doing that. Currently, you still can use old version of web interface for administering server via web, old and new version can co-exist peacefully;

Mail Server

Now each account has No SMTP access flag, allowing to have "incoming only" accounts; Works only when SMTP authentication is enabled;
Optimized the load of Edit Domain Group box. In earlier versions it was taking long time, because that calculation of the usage was being performed at the box load. Now calculation will be not perfomed, unless user clicks Calculate Usage link;

Added View/Hide Headers option when viewing an email message;
Changes regarding "bound IP addresses" have not been reflected with the web interface at this point;
