Subject: [Dovecot-news] Commercial features in Dovecot future: Object
	storage, archive
Message-ID: <85966921-0276-4B80-8F7B-37B5B9558FFC@iki.fi>

Hi all,

Dovecot Oy?s web pages at www.dovecot.fi have been updated. The products page lists two features that will be available for commercial licensing, extending the functionality of the basic open-source version of Dovecot.

* Storing emails to (high-latency) object storage, initially supporting Amazon S3, Caringo CAStor and Scality.

* Email archive storage.

See http://www.dovecot.fi/products/index.html for details.

I?ve been developing Dovecot for over 10 years now. For a long time it was my primary motivation in life to create the best IMAP server available :) I think I've pretty much accomplished that by now.

The future is looking very bright for Dovecot: we will continue the open source development stronger than ever, but in addition, for the long term it needs some additional licensed components that bring the money to cover the cost for future Dovecot development and to be able to build up the support in a professional way.

These new features will be added as plugins on top of Dovecot to extend the functionality. Note that I?m not just randomly choosing which features will be open and which will be licensed. Only some specific features will be licensed where my company is going to make money with partnerships and in other measurable ways.

Subject: [Dovecot-news] v2.1.11 released
Message-ID: <1354171474.13277.5.camel@hurina>

http://dovecot.org/releases/2.1/dovecot-2.1.11.tar.gz
http://dovecot.org/releases/2.1/dovecot-2.1.11.tar.gz.sig

        * lmtp/lda: dovecot.index.cache file is no longer fully mapped to
          memory, allowing mail deliveries to work even if the file is huge.
        * auth: userdb passwd lookups are now done by auth worker processes
          instead of auth master process (as it was documented, but
          accidentally didn't work that way).

        + lmtp: lmtp_rcpt_check_quota=yes setting checks quota on RCPT TO.
        - lmtp: After successful proxying RCPT TO, the next one to a
          nonexistent user gave tempfail error instead of "user not found".
        - lmtp proxy: Fixed hanging if remote server was down.
        - imap: Fixed crash when SEARCH contained multiple KEYWORD parameters.
        - doveadm: Various fixes to handling doveadm-server connections.
        - -i <instance name> parameter for Dovecot tools didn't work correctly.
        - director was somewhat broken in v2.1.10. This version also includes
          various reliability enhancements.
        - auth: passdb imap was broken in v2.1.10.

Subject: [Dovecot-news] v2.1.12 released
Message-ID: <1354258870.2844.32.camel@innu>

http://dovecot.org/releases/2.1/dovecot-2.1.12.tar.gz

The dovecot-config file installed by v2.1.11 was missing quotes, which
broke building Pigeonhole. This release fixes that.
