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.
|
||||
|
||||
A more detailed list of changes is available in the project changelog.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
if you plan on setting up a new mail server. Freeposte.io is free software,
|
||||
you are more than welcome to report issues, ask for features or enhancements,
|

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.
|
||||
|
||||

||||
if you plan on setting up a new mail server. Freeposte.io is free software,
|
||||
you are more than welcome to report issues, ask for features or enhancements,
|
||||
or even contribute your own modifications!
