Chapter 2. Release notes

Before proceeding, you should check the release notes for your PowerMail version, as specified in the name of the distribution file.

2.1. 1.5.1

Polished open source release, with help from the community. Large amount of changes and very important bugfixes. Bugs fixed:

  • Generic LDAP support. The aim is to get PowerMail to understand the vast majority of LDAP layouts people use. This version can probably connect to 'most', please let us know if you can't fit PowerMail to your schema, and we'll add features to cover your needs as well (with suggestions by: Stef van Dessel, Bart Smit, Oscar Steenman)

  • Hostname can now be specified in the configuration (Marcello Scacchetti)

  • The SMTP banner can now be configured (Marcello Scachetti/bert hubert)

  • PowerSMTP and PowerPOP init.d scripts now have 'monitor mode' which is great for debugging

  • Console loglevel can now be tuned

Improvements:

  • Better feedback if another mailer is already running.

  • PowerSMTP 'Received' lines now have a proper timestamp.
