Released Pigeonhole v0.4.14 for Dovecot v2.2.24.

Hello Dovecot users, The most important feature that this new release adds is the IMAPSIEVE capability, which allows executing Sieve scripts at IMAP events. It also adds the ability to obtain trace logs from Sieve execution at actual delivery (or from IMAP), rather than only using the sieve-test command line tool. This release also fixes a bug in the Sieve extprograms plugin that has been bothering a few people for a while now. Changelog v0.4.14: * The address test now allows specifying the X-Original-To header. + Implemented the Sieve imapsieve extension and its IMAP counterpart (RFC 6785) as a set of plugins. This allows running Sieve scripts at IMAP activity, rather than at delivery. There are also facilities for the familiar sieve_before/sieve_after administrator scripts. A user script is defined for a mailbox using an IMAP METADATA entry, whereas administrator scripts are configured using mailbox matching rules defined in the plugin settings. + Adjusted the Sieve ihave extension to allow capability tests to be performed at runtime. This way, scripts can be written that work both at delivery and from IMAP. + Implemented support for runtime trace debugging. This means that detailed information about which commands, actions and tests are performed is written to a file. That file is created in the configured directory, but only if that directory exists. This way, a particular user can be easily singled out for debugging. This works much like the Dovecot rawlog facility. The trace output is identical to what is produced using sieve-test with its "-t" command line option. + Added a "sieve_user_email" setting that configures the user's primary email address. This is mainly useful to have a user email address available in IMAP, where envelope data is unavailable. + Implemented the dovecot-specific "vnd.dovecot.report" extension. This allows sending report messages in the Message Abuse Reporting Format (RFC 5965). - extprograms plugin: Fixed epoll() panic caused by closing the output FD before the output stream. - Made sure that the local part of a mail address is encoded properly using quoted string syntax when it is not a dot-atom. The release is available as follows: http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.14.ta… http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.14.ta… Refer to http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org and the Dovecot v2.x wiki for more information. Have fun testing this release and don't hesitate to notify me when there are any problems. Regards, -- Stephan Bosch stephan(a)rename-it.nl

v2.2.24 released
by Timo Sirainen 26 Apr '16

26 Apr '16

http://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2.24.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2.24.tar.gz.sig This should be a good release. :) * doveconf now warns if it sees a global setting being changed when the same setting was already set inside some filters. (A common mistake has been adding more plugins to a global mail_plugins setting after it was already set inside protocol { .. }, which caused the global setting to be ignored for that protocol.) * LMTP proxy: Increased default timeout 30s -> 125s. This makes it less likely to reach the timeout and cause duplicate deliveries. * LMTP and indexer now append ":suffix" to session IDs to make it unique for the specific user's delivery. (Fixes duplicate session ID warnings in stats process.) + Added dict-ldap for performing read-only LDAP dict lookups. + lazy-expunge: All mails can be saved to a single specified mailbox. + mailbox { autoexpunge } supports now wildcards in mailbox names. + doveadm HTTP API: Added support for proxy commands + imapc: Reconnect when getting disconnected in non-selected state. + imapc: Added imapc_features=modseq to access MODSEQs/HIGHESTMODSEQ. This is especially useful for incremental dsync. + doveadm auth/user: Auth lookup performs debug logging if -o auth_debug=yes is given to doveadm. + Added passdb/userdb { auth_verbose=yes|no } setting. + Cassandra: Added user, password, num_threads, connect_timeout and request_timeout settings. + doveadm user -e <value>: Print <value> with %variables expanded. - Huge header lines could have caused Dovecot to use too much memory (depending on config and used IMAP commands). (Typically this would result in only the single user's process dying with out of memory due to reaching service { vsz_limit } - not a global DoS). - dsync: Detect and handle invalid/stale -s state string better. - dsync: Fixed crash caused by specific mailbox renames - auth: Auth cache is now disabled passwd-file. It was unnecessary and it broke %variables in extra fields. - fts-tika: Don't crash if it returns 500 error - dict-redis: Fixed timeout handling - SEARCH INTHREAD was crashing - stats: Only a single fifo_listeners was supported, making it impossible to use both auth_stats=yes and mail stats plugin. - SSL errors were logged in separate "Stacked error" log lines instead of as part of the disconnection reason. - MIME body parser didn't handle properly when a child MIME part's --boundary had the same prefix as the parent.
