http://dovecot.org/releases/2.1/dovecot-2.1.2.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/2.1/dovecot-2.1.2.tar.gz.sig There are a ton of proxying related improvements in this release. You should now be able to do pretty much anything you want with Dovecot proxy/director. This release also includes the initial version of dsync-based replication. I'm already successfully using it for @dovecot.fi mails, but it still has some problems. See http://dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2012-March/064243.html for some details how to configure it. + Initial implementation of dsync-based replication. For now this should be used only on non-critical systems. + Proxying: POP3 now supports sending remote IP+port from proxy to backend server via Dovecot-specific XCLIENT extension. + Proxying: proxy_maybe=yes with host=<hostname> (instead of IP) works now properly. + Proxying: Added auth_proxy_self setting + Proxying: Added proxy_always extra field (see wiki docs) + Added director_username_hash setting to specify what part of the username is hashed. This can be used to implement per-domain backends (which allows safely accessing shared mailboxes within domain). + Added a "session ID" string for imap/pop3 connections, available in %{session} variable. The session ID passes through Dovecot IMAP/POP3 proxying to backend server. The same session ID is can be reused after a long time (currently a bit under 9 years). + passdb checkpassword: Support "credentials lookups" (for non-plaintext auth and for lmtp_proxy lookups) + fts: Added fts_index_timeout setting to abort search if indexing hasn't finished by then (default is to wait forever). - doveadm sync: If mailbox was expunged empty, messages may have become back instead of also being expunged in the other side. - director: If user logged into two directors while near user expiration, the directors might have redirected the user to two different backends. - imap_id_* settings were ignored before login. - Several fixes to mailbox_list_index=yes - Previous v2.1.x didn't log all messages at shutdown. - mbox: Fixed accessing Dovecot v1.x mbox index files without errors.
