indimail-mta source has moved to github https://github.com/mbhangui/indimail-mta/releases/tag/v2.8
The build for this will be ready next week at
The current final 2.7 build on obs is identical to the 2.8 release
You can find the ChangeLog at the bottom of this notes.
This is a major release with massive changes and complete overhaul of the code. The major changes in this release are
o All useful, reusable functions in qmail have been moved to libqmail package which
provides both shared and static library for these functions
o Multiple fixes in libdkim
o moved tcpserver access control files to /etc/indimail/tcp for
write access by indimail auth module (relay updation, pop-bef-smtp)
and other programs running with indimail uid
o maildirsize program to print the disk usage of a Maildir
o qfrontend - qmail-qfilter frontend to run user written qmail-qfilter
scripts. A working sample for smtp ratelimiting -f-smtp-ratelimit is
part of distribution
o Ability to load mysqlclient library at runtime using control file
/etc/indiamil/control/mysql_lib. This enables indimail-mta to be shipped
without being linked to a particular mysql client library. Post installation
one can either chose mariadb client library or mysql community library by
specifying path to the library in /etc/indimail/control/mysql_lib
Programs like qmail-smtpd, tcpserver, qmail-remote, qmail-lspawn, qmail-rspawn
can now load mysql client library at runtime.
o Added rule in cron for cleaning surbl cache directory. Added control files
level2-tlds, level3-tlds part of the binary package
o added X-Bounced-Address header for bounces created by qmail-send. This allows one
to exactly pinpoint the address that caused the bounce
o Reduced CPU utilization of qmail-remote by reading data in chunks rather than one
byte at a time.
