[7.12.2] - 2022-05-23

🌱 Spring cleaning: this release we were mostly busy updating and polishing internals, e.g. our CI pipeline and container images. We also took first steps towards a new metric and alerting system. Nonetheless we also have a couple of user facing features for you.

Added

  • Python 3.10 and a preview for 3.11.

  • New tools: ranger, oauth2-proxy, mtail and chromium-headless.

  • Even more metrics to play with in the future.

Fixed

  • Sieve vacation autoreplies should now work. You can see our mail filter documentation for an updated example.

  • When you authenticate with SMTP, we implement penalties for failed attemps (further ones are delayed). Because our authentication backend used the proxy’s IP (which is the same for all users), not the one for your connection, you could be affected by penalties caused by other user’s failed login attemps. This is now fixed.

  • You can now use the ErrorDocument directive in .htaccess files.

  • Dovecot can now correctly handle mailboxes containing colons (:), i.e. automatically clean their spam folder.
