Hello everyone,
We have a new version of Mail Server (v1.1.6.0). And now it has Web Interface.
Changes are as follows:
- Added Web Interface. It is a separate Web (HTTP) service, build into the server. It runs along and with the same "rights" with other services (as SMTP, IMAP, POP3) and can be configured the similar way. No third party servers are required. Currently it is pretty limited: you can only check email, and only in Inbox folder. More, including server administration, is coming in future versions. Both, HTTP and HTTPS are supported;
- Improved handling of Recommendations, introduced in version 1.1.5.0: Added checking of server certificate, also verification whether DKIM key pair is set up properly and they match. Also, if there is an error generating recommendations, it stops wherever error occurs, rather than generating an exception and halting the execution;
- If there is a problem with inserting DKIM Signature, email will be still sent. In previous versions the server was generating and error and not sending the mail.
- Updated the user interface for DKIM section. List box of domains, which was rather confusing, was replaced by a drop down list. Also, now you DKIM settings can be tested on the spot.
A few words about the Web Interface: enable or disable it from Settings - Services - Web Interface.
It uses bootstrap, which means, the interface is mobile friendly.
As mentioned above, it is very limited at this point: you can read mail, compose new messages, reply to them (all in plain text), mark as flagged, seen (read), deleted, and then purge them... And, you can not access any other folders but Inbox (messages sent out will be saved into Sent Items folder though, and will marked as answered). Users can change their password, and certain settings, which apply to the current release.
Probably, it will not become as advanced as other dedicated web hosting services (you never know though), but I will be adding other server components, similar to ones we had in the older versions of web interface: administration of certain settings of server.
Web templates can be modified, but I would not recommend to do too much modifications at this point, because changes are coming, and you will need to redo the work over and over again. See
Mail Server FAQ for more.
And, upgrade is still free.
Thanks
Archie
