V2.5.2 June 1, 2008 v2.5.2 Exploits Xtra features of PostgreSQL 8.3.1+
* further changes made to PostgreSQL functionality to
allow DBMail users to exploit the significant new
functionality and performance enhancements of
PostgreSQL 8.3.1 and beyond.
http://www.dbma.ca/index.htm
V2.5.0 January 25, 2008
* a few minor bug fixes including syntax management for
'SQL-illegal' characters in Auto reply Messages
* reminders for configuring dbmail.conf to use AutoNotify
and AutoReply
* speed increase
http://www.dbma.ca/
V2.4.9 June 15 2006 Substantial Changes/Feature Additions
* This release contains substantial code modifications
throughout.
* DBMA is now more "Group-aware" as in groups
of mail users delineated by dbmail_users.client_idnr.
* In the "My Groups" section of the Main window, the
number of users in each group is set out when this
Configuration option has been turned on. Note that this
is resource expensive and on large systems with many
groups of users it can slow DBMA Main window considerably.
(Working on that.)
* A configuration setting is now provided to limit the
number of users per mail group. In the RestrictGroup regime
this would mean that the maximum number of users would
be fixed and only a "root" administrator could reset
the maximum once arrangements were made (i.e.: payment).
* In the global configuration (full configuration authority)
the maximum number of users per group is a healthy reminder
that keeping unique client_idnr numbers to a manageable level
is good practise. The default is set at 1000 per group.
There is no limit to the number of groups.
* Setting the Default Mailbox size now sets the maximum
mailbox size for the RestrictGroup Admin mode
This can only be overridden in the
configuration window by a root administrator.
* A bug which applied to later versions of Mysql has been
fixed where in the case of a plain password being used,
a space was injected into the encryption type field

V2.4.8 May 21 2006 - Changes Impacting DBMail Version 2.2 (Pending)
* Changes have been made to the allow_read_mail regime
such that turning off the ability to read mail does not
prevent the display of mailboxes in the user account window
and searches can be done to locate messages even based on
message block content but selecting the message will
return headers only and maintain the privacy of the message.
This applies to DBMail Version 2.2 (Pending) and its
precursor SVN Trunk and recent DBMail 2.1.x unstable.
* Minor changes and updates to documentation
http://dbma.ca/
V2.4.7 April 18 2006
* Further changes for the pending DBMail V2.2 release
including incorporation of new table structure for
dbmail_users: a step toward DBMA managing sieve scripts.
* cursieve and maxsieve displayed in User Account Window
* DBMA MTA Admin upgrades.
MTA Domain Transport GUI has been completely overhauled
and now more feature-rich for the management of
MTA virtual domains and transports.
* If you use DBMail SVN/Trunk or if you use MTA Domain
with Transport features, V2.4.7 is a must have. Upgrade is
simplified by typing perl update.pl in dbmailadministrator/
http://dbma.mobrien.com/
V2.4.6 April 6 2006 Significant changes
* a mem problem with DBD-mysql-3.0002_4 required a workaround.
Now that DBD-mysql-3.0002 is fixed, the workaround is
dropped and LONGBLOBs are reinstated for DBMAIL 2.0.8/9/10
dbmail_messageblks.messageblk to allow read and search mail
* numerous minor changes prevent illegal search
terms to cause a fatals_to_browser error message when the
not-so-learned administrator searches for illegal control
characters and such things (RFC2822 and RFC2821)
* the Allow_Read_Mail function is now available for newer
databases (even with older DBMail binary versions) where
LONGTEXT has been replaced with LONGBLOB
binaries for dbmail_messageblks.messageblk
* a collection of little changes/improvements makes 2.4.6
a "must have" if you are using recent versions of DBMail

Upgrade installation script a big success
upgrade.pl has been working on dozens of different xNIX systems and users like it! The simple perl code preserves all exisitng configurations and fully downloads and installs the new version of DBMA.

V2.4.1 March 8, 2006 Incipient DBMail 2.2 version
There are some features in this version that make it a "must have".
It's truly worth taking the time to upgrade your installation. * Numerous changes/improvements for all versions * Dropped config options for DBMail 2.1 SVN Trunk User Search feature now also searches aliases and serves an Account Window for the user having that
email address (alias) if so found. This particularly favours systems where user account names are first_part (first_part@last_part) but applies to either or a combined environment of "first_part" and or "first_part@last_part" user naming.
(DBMA Interimly treats SVN 2.1 as if it were 2.2.rel) * Dropped "use strict" for production releases * Added configs for pending release of DBMail 2.2 (You can test on 2.1.x)
* Added read mail option for DBMail 2.2 * Updated Auto Replies for DBMail 2.2 * Added start/stop dates for auto replies * Created groundwork for new DBMail Sieve config + (Not implemented .. too early.)
* DBMA MTA Admin :: Domains and Transports is now able to
take over and automate virtual hosting. After add
an alias on a new domain, the MTA config is automatically
updated and the new MTA domain is added as a destination.
This relies on the extensibility of DBMail and Postfix
compiled with xxsql.
* A few enhanced installation aids workaround some
typical (from feedback) Apache config mistakes and get
DBMA diagnostics running enough to serve a diag window for
those just starting out and who need to understand permissions
a little better.

dbma-2.2.1.tar.gz Improved Package Downloads for OS Ports
A number of users created 'fetching scripts' to get and install new DBMA code releases.
To avoid breaking things people have come to rely on the *CURRENT* naming convention for
the DBMA package remains unchanged but now has additions. CURRENT is still available in DBMA_SQL_V2.tar (tarball)
and DBMA_SQL_V2.tar.gz (Compressed)
A new package naming convention in lower case is also added to the DBMA site:
** dbma-2.3.3.tar.gz ** A compressed tarball is named with the acronym in lower case followed
by a hyphen and one major plus two sub version numbers seperated by periods for a total of three version integers.
It will always be three numbers (i.e.: "dbma-2.0.0.tar.gz").

November 10, 2005 - Request for Comments (RFC)
For a future version of DbMailAdministrator (DBMA) to administer DBMail2.2.x --
DBMail system users are asked to think a little about how you might use the
marriage of LDAP and MySQL/PostgreSQL/SQLite user/alias mapping,
if at all, in your future mail systems.
The goal here is to determine how extensive and redundant should be the LDAP and SQL user data (name/alias/password) interface (GUI) -- or not.
* Feature requests for future versions of DbMailAdministrator are most welcome and appreciated.
* Comments can be transmitted by visiting http://dbma.mobrien.com/DBMA_contact.htm

DBMA Security Procedures and Precautions
Every circumstance has its own unique advantages and deficiencies
including public physical plant access, ex-or-disgruntled employees, pranksters and
dare it be said, DMZ breakdowns or penetration. Securing any system is a living, dynamic
process -- checking for and applying operating system updates, program fixes and patches,
scanning programme revisions for desirable feature additions, reviewing user security
and permissions, and generally applying common sense.

DBMA and DBMAil Useage Guide
An extensive set of help notes pertaining to both DBMA and DBMail.
Platform notes. DBMA was built on Unix servers and tested and tuned on several Windows variants.
You can fully administer your DbMail IMAP / POP3 system using DBMA on a Win32 host
(NT4Server, W2kServer, WinServer-2003).
On either Unix or Windows, DBMA will start up instantly and fly up a configuration window
or just login to the database if the default configurations match yours.
