hMailServer 5.3

ADVERTISEMENTS
 Free and all you will need
ForumhMailServer provides all of the important functionality you need to run your own e-mail server. As a user of hMailServer, you get continuous updates and great support from other users and developers in the forum. hMailServer is a free product. Free when it comes to the price, and free when it comes to how you can use or distribute it. hMailServer supports the open email standards POP3, SMTP and IMAP4. This makes the server compatible with most email clients available. hMailServer 4 and earlier versions are licensed as open source under the GPL license. Later versions of hMailServer (version 5 and later) are still free of charge but closed source.

Installation & Configuration
Tired of manually editing .conf and .ini files? Installing and configuring hMailServer is easy and takes only a few minutes. The server comes with an easy-to-use MMC-like administration called hMailAdmin. hMailAdmin lets you add domains & accounts, specify settings, enable virus scanning and so on. The documentation describes the features in detail. If you have any questions, there's a great user forum full of helping users to turn to. The hMailServer developers answers question in this forum as well. When you seek support at the forum, the average reply time is less than two hours!

Database support
hMailServer supports both MySQL and Microsoft SQL Server. MySQL is free software and is the recommended choice. The hMailServer installation includes a minimal, built-in installation of the MySQL database server. It is offered as an option. If you select it, the built-in server will be installed and configured automatically during the hMailServer installation. The built-in server saves you the hassle of having to set up and configure a separate database server for hMailServer.

Webmail
SquirrelMail hMailServer is compatible with any email client which supports SMTP, POP3 and IMAP. This is true also when it comes to web mail clients. hMailServer can use any web mail system which supports these protocols (normally SMTP and IMAP is used, not POP3). Depending on what server you are running, different web mail systems may suit your needs. For example, some webmail systems relies on the PHP scripting engine (which typically runs under Apache) while other relies on ASP (which normally runs under Microsoft Internet Information servers). If you choose to use SquirrelMail under Windows, you can let your users change their own passwords and out-of-office messages using a hMailServer plug-in for SquirrelMail.

Security
hMailServer is pre-configured to have high security when it comes to relaying and authentication so that no one can use your server to send spam messages. It also supports the very popular open source virus scanner ClamAV. Configuring hMailServer to use ClamAV only takes a single click! The server also supports black list servers and other spam-stopping mechanisms such as SPF and MX lookups.

Integration
Source code hMailServer comes with a COM library that can be used for integration with other software. Using the COM library, it's possible to write scripts and full applications that utilize the features in hMailServer. For example, you can integrate hMailServer into your current IT-systems so that new employees automatically get email accounts. Both hMailServer Administrator and the PHP web-based frontend uses the COM API to manage the server.

History updates

hMailServer 5.3 [10-27-09]

  • Issue 264: Searching for strings in UTF8 format did not work properly when using IMAP.
  • Issue 266: Sorting on Arrival doesn't work with some IMAP clients. Sorting on Date works fine.

    • Other versions : 5.3 - Build 1617 5.2.1 - Build 361 5.2 - Build 356 5.1.2 - Build 346 5.1.1 - Build 341

    hMailServer v5.3 - Build 1617 [10-17-09]

  • Issue 261: When restoring a backup, the restore of accounts failed if messages were not restored.

    • hMailServer v5.2.1 - Build 361 [09-15-09]

  • When an error occurs it's logged to the hMailServer error log and the standard log (if application logging is enabled). In the normal log file, the first column of the error line contained APPLICATION rather than ERROR. It now says ERROR which makes it easier to locate error-lines in the standard log file.
  • If a DNS lookup fails, this was reported as an error before. DNS lookups may fail if the recipients DNS server is not properly configured, and this is not an error in the hMailServer installation. Due to this, this is no longer reported as an error to the hMailServer log, but rather mentioned in the bounce message.
  • Issue 247: When a new message is added to a folder using an IMAP client, hMailServer now explicitly tells the same client that a new message has been added to the folder. This should solve problems with listing of Draft messages in Thunderbird.
  • Issue 249: If spam protection was enabled, but header tagging was not, hMailServer would fail to download messages from external accounts containing spam messages.
  • Issue 250: If SPF test passed, but another spam test failed and the message was rejected during the SMTP conversation, sometimes the rejection description sent to the client was empty.
  • Issue 253: When clearing the delivery queue, orphaned rows were left behind in the hm_messagerecipients table.

    • hMailServer v5.2 - Build 356 [07-29-09]

    Performance improvements have been made to the MySQL upgrade scripts. Upgrading larger installations to v5.2. should now be at least twice as fast. When restoring a backup, restored messages received new UID's, which made them impossible to download.

    hMailServer v5.1.2 - Build 346 [06-13-09]

    Issue 216: SMTP connection sometimes dropped during DKIM verification. This problem occurs if a the DNS server publishing the publi key publishes a CNAME record which points at the TXT record which contains the actual public key.

    hMailServer v5.1.1 - Build 341 [04-20-09]

    Issue 203, In Administrator, it was possible to enable DKIM signing without specifying settings. Issue 204, In the IMAP protocol, ACL was advertised to the client as enabled even if it was not. Issue 205, If SpamAssassin hanged or crash, hMailServer would hang as well.
