Demonstration server
|
||||||
|
====================
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The demo server is for demonstration and test purposes only. Please be
|
||||||
|
respectful and keep the demo server functional for others to be able to try it
|
||||||
|
out.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The server is reset every day at 3am, french time. If you find the server is
|
||||||
|
unusable, you can still ask for someone to reset it manually on our Matrix
|
||||||
|
chat channel. Please do not open tickets everytime the server is down. Please
|
||||||
|
do not open tickets if the server is quite slow: it *is* slow because the
|
||||||
|
machine is a cheap leased server.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Keep in mind that the demo server is also used for some automated tests and runs
|
||||||
|
the latest unstable version. If you find actual bugs when using the demo
|
||||||
|
server, please report these!
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Connecting to the server
|
||||||
|
------------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Server name : ``test.mailu.io``
|
||||||
|
* IP address : ``51.15.169.20``
|
||||||
|
* Webmail : https://test.mailu.io/webmail/
|
||||||
|
* Admin UI : https://test.mailu.io/admin/
|
||||||
|
* Admin login : ``admin@test.mailu.io``
|
||||||
|
* Admin password : ``letmein``
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Adding domains
|
||||||
|
--------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you wish to add new domains to the server for test purposes, you could
|
||||||
|
either direct the MX for one of you domains to ``test.mailu.io`` or have your
|
||||||
|
MX point to the server's IP address.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Also, all subdomains of ``test.mailu.io`` point to this server. Thus, you can
|
||||||
|
simply add ``foo.test.mailu.io`` and ``bar.test.mailu.io`` for your tests.

Release notes
|
||||||
|
=============

||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Mailu 1.3 - 2016-11-06
|
||||||
|
----------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**First a warning as TL;DR. Following the project rename, please read
|
||||||
|
the migration guide carefully if you were already running Freeposte.**
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Renaming the project was a critical step in its life and we
|
||||||
|
certainly hope that it will help gain even more traction and collaborate
|
||||||
|
every day to add new features and improve Mailu.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This new release introduces mostly bugfixes and a couple of enhancements.
|
||||||
|
It was however the most complicated to prepare and publish because we had
|
||||||
|
to deal for the first time with multiple active contributors, sometimes
|
||||||
|
diverging points of view, a solid user base that would prefer their production
|
||||||
|
not break, and some major upstream issues.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The release itself was delayed a month, partly due to these changes, partly due
|
||||||
|
to upstream issues. One of them for instance, a bug in Dovecot, took us a
|
||||||
|
couple of long nights debugging low-level memory management code in Dovecot in
|
||||||
|
order to fix the vacation message in Mailu! This lead to humble contributions
|
||||||
|
to Dovecot and Alpine Linux and we are still proud to be contributing to a
|
||||||
|
larger software environment.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Among the major changes that we introduced, Rainloop is now officially
|
||||||
|
supported as a Webmail and we are open to contributions to add even more
|
||||||
|
alternatives to the next release.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Also, Mailu admin interface now has built-in internationalization and we will
|
||||||
|
initiate a localization campaign to add at least French and German to the list
|
||||||
|
of supported languages. Please contact us if you would like to contribute
|
||||||
|
another translation.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Finally, we hardened Postfix configuration both for security reasons
|
||||||
|
(preventing address usurpation upon existing SPF) and to prevent spam. We
|
||||||
|
found that the already effective antispam filter now blocks more that 99% of
|
||||||
|
junk messages on our test servers.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
A more detailed list of changes is available in the project changelog.

||||||

||||||

Please read the `Setup Guide`_
|
||||||
|
if you plan on setting up a new mail server. Mailu is free software,
|
||||||
|
you are more than welcome to report issues, ask for features or enhancements,
|
||||||
|
or contribute your own modifications!

|
Freeposte.io 1.2 - 2016-08-28
|
||||||
|
-----------------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The past few weeks have been very productive thanks to multiple contributors
|
||||||
|
and reporters. A hundred commits later, Freeposte.io release 1.2 is ready.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Most changes in the release are security-related: we eventually added CSRF
|
||||||
|
checks, applied most security best practices including TLS hardening based
|
||||||
|
on the great documentation by `BetterCrypto`_,
|
||||||
|
and started a discussion about how the mail server stack should be
|
||||||
|
secure-by-default while maintaining as many features as possible.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Additional great change is the new ability to declare catch-all aliases and
|
||||||
|
wildcard aliases in general.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
When creating an alias, one may now enable the "SQL LIKE" syntax then use
|
||||||
|
standard SQL wildcards ``%`` and ``_`` to specify matches for a given alias.
|
||||||
|
For instance :
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- ``%@domain.tld`` will match any uncatched email sent to that domain (catch-all)
|
||||||
|
- ``support-%@domain.tld`` will match any email sent to an address starting with
|
||||||
|
``support-``
|
||||||
|
- ``_@domain.tld`` will match any email sent to a one-character address
|
||||||
|
- ``co_tact@domain.tld`` will match both ``contact@domain.tld`` and
|
||||||
|
``comtact@domain.tld`` along will all other combinations to make up for
|
||||||
|
any usual typing mistake.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Finally, the update process changed with Freeposte.io 1.2: you do not have to
|
||||||
|
manually setup an installed branch anymore. Instead, you may simply use the
|
||||||
|
default ``docker-compose.yml`` file and the ``:latest`` tag that will now
|
||||||
|
point to the latest *stable* version. Those who know what they are doing and
|
||||||
|
still want to use continuous builds from the Git repository may switch to the
|
||||||
|
``:testing`` Docker images.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||

Freeposte.io 1.1 - 2016-07-31
|
||||||
|
-----------------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
When we started the Freeposte.io adventure back in December, we weren't quite
|
||||||
|
sure the project would lead to anything but a bunch of scripts to manage our
|
||||||
|
mail server at `TeDomum`_.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
About 6 month later, we have got word from a dozen individuals and half a
|
||||||
|
dozen nonprofits that have started setting up Freeposte.io or are using it
|
||||||
|
for production emails. All mailboxes at TeDomum have been running on top
|
||||||
|
of Freeposte.io for the past 5 months and happily received thousands of emails.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Release 1.0 was definitely not ready for production: the anti-spam services
|
||||||
|
were unstable, lots of junk messages still got through, there was still no
|
||||||
|
support for outgoing DKIM and thus no way to properly setup DMARC. These
|
||||||
|
have been addressed and we are really enthusiastic about releasing 1.1 and
|
||||||
|
expecting some feedback and contributions.
