Released Pigeonhole v0.4.21 for Dovecot v2.2.33.1.
by Stephan Bosch 12 Oct '17

12 Oct '17

Hello Dovecot users, Here's the definitive 0.4.21 release. There were no changes since the release candidate. Changelog v0.4.21: * redirect action: Always set the X-Sieve-Redirected-From header to sieve_user_email if configured. Before, it would use the envelope recipient instead if available, which makes no sense if the primary e-mail address is available. + vacation extension: Allow ignoring the envelope sender while composing the "To:" header for the reply. Normally, the "To:" header is composed from the address found in the "Sender", "Resent-From" or "From" headers that is equal to the envelope sender. If none is then found, the bare envelope sender is used. This change adds a new setting "sieve_vacation_to_header_ignore_envelope". With this setting enabled, the "To:" header is always composed from those headers in the source message. The new setting thus allows ignoring the envelope, which is useful e.g. when SRS is used. + vacation extension: Compose the "To:" header from the full sender address found in the first "Sender:", "From:" or "Resent-From:" header. Before, it would create a "To:" header without a phrase part. The new behavior is nicer, since the reply will be addressed to the sender by name if possible. - LDA Sieve plugin: Fixed sequential execution of LDAP-based scripts. A missing LDAP-based script could cause the script sequence to exit earlier. - sieve-filter: Removed the (now) duplicate utf8 to mutf7 mailbox name conversion. This caused problems with mailbox names containing UTF-8 characters. The Dovecot API was changed years ago, but apparently sieve-filter was never updated. The release is available as follows: https://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.21.t… https://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.21.t… 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

v2.2.33 released
by Timo Sirainen 10 Oct '17

10 Oct '17

https://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2.33.tar.gz https://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2.33.tar.gz.sig We're getting close to the last v2.2.x releases. Hopefully we'll have the first v2.3 beta releases out soon. * doveadm director commands wait for the changes to be visible in the whole ring before they return. This is especially useful in testing. * Environments listed in import_environment setting are now set or preserved when executing standalone commands (e.g. doveadm) + doveadm proxy: Support proxying logs. Previously the logs were visible only in the backend's logs. + Added %{if}, see https://wiki2.dovecot.org/Variables#Conditionals + Added a new notify_status plugin, which can be used to update dict with current status of a mailbox when it changes. See https://wiki2.dovecot.org/Plugins/NotifyStatus + Mailbox list index can be disabled for a namespace by appending ":LISTINDEX=" to location setting. + dsync/imapc: Added dsync_hashed_headers setting to specify which headers are used to match emails. + pop3-migration: Add pop3_migration_ignore_extra_uidls=yes to ignore mails that are visible in POP3 but not IMAP. This could happen if new mails were delivered during the migration run. + pop3-migration: Further improvements to help with Zimbra + pop3-migration: Cache POP3 UIDLs in imapc's dovecot.index.cache if indexes are enabled. These are used to optimize incremental syncs. + cassandra, dict-sql: Use prepared statements if protocol version>3. + auth: Added %{ldap_dn} variable for passdb/userdb ldap - acl: The "create" (k) permission in global acl-file was sometimes ignored, allowing users to create mailboxes when they shouldn't have. - sdbox: Mails were always opened when expunging, unless mail_attachment_fs was explicitly set to empty. - lmtp/doveadm proxy: hostip passdb field was ignored, which caused unnecessary DNS lookups if host field wasn't an IP - lmtp proxy: Fix crash when receiving unexpected reply in RCPT TO - quota_clone: Update also when quota is unlimited (broken in v2.2.31) - mbox, zlib: Fix assert-crash when accessing compressed mbox - doveadm director kick -f parameter didn't work - doveadm director flush <host> resulted flushing all hosts, if <host> wasn't an IP address. - director: Various fixes to handling backend/director changes at abnormal times, especially while ring was unsynced. These could have resulted in crashes, non-optimal behavior or ignoring some of the changes. - director: Use less CPU in imap-login processes when moving/kicking many users. - lmtp: Session IDs were duplicated/confusing with multiple RCPT TOs when lmtp_rcpt_check_quota=yes - doveadm sync -1 fails when local mailboxes exist that do not exist remotely. This commonly happened when lazy_expunge mailbox was autocreated when incremental sync expunged mails. - pop3: rawlog_dir setting didn't work

Released Pigeonhole v0.4.21.rc1 for Dovecot v2.2.33.rc1.

Hello Dovecot users, Here is the Pigeonhole hole release candidate that goes with the Dovecot release candidate. Nothing really special going on, just a few changes and fixes that accumulated over the last few months. Changelog v0.4.21: * redirect action: Always set the X-Sieve-Redirected-From header to sieve_user_email if configured. Before, it would use the envelope recipient instead if available, which makes no sense if the primary e-mail address is available. + vacation extension: Allow ignoring the envelope sender while composing the "To:" header for the reply.

With this setting enabled, the "To:" header is always composed from those headers in the source message. The new setting thus allows ignoring the envelope, which is useful e.g. when SRS is used. + vacation extension: Compose the "To:" header from the full sender address found in the first "Sender:", "From:" or "Resent-From:" header.

https://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/rc/dovecot-2.2.33.rc1.tar.gz https://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/rc/dovecot-2.2.33.rc1.tar.gz.sig There are a couple more small changes still coming, but this should be very close to the final release. I'm especially interested in hearing if there are any problems with doveadm log proxying or with director. We've improved our automated director tests quite a lot now, and fixed some rarely occurring bugs. * doveadm director commands wait for the changes to be visible in the whole ring before they return. This is especially useful in testing. * Environments listed in import_environment setting are now set or preserved when executing standalone commands (e.g. doveadm) + doveadm proxy: Support proxying logs.
