The subject software upgrades for QMT are now available. These long awaited upgrades are seriously overdue, as QMT has been using the same version of vpopmail since I built my first QMT over 6 years ago.

I'm happy to say that this brings QMT up to date with all of the upstream software (TTBOMK - someone please notify if something newer is out there), and completes work on v1.4.x until such time as another upstream update becomes available. If I'm lucky, QMT v1.5.0 (CentOS 6.x compatibility) will be available before then.

The recommended upgrade procedure is as follows:
# yum update qmailtoaster-plus
# qtp-newmodel

If you're running the QTP version of dovecot:
# yum update dovecot

If you're running spamdyke (you should be if you're not):
# qtp-install-spamdyke
# service qmail restart


If you choose to do things the hard way (manually), here are some notes off the top of my head.

In addition to the 3 vpopmail related packages, the following packages should be rebuilt and reinstalled (qtp-newmodel will do this automatically):
qmail-toaster
courier-authlib-toaster
courier-imap-toaster

If you're running a dovecot version that you built yourself, you should rebuild and reinstall this as well after installing vpopmail.

There are vpopmail database changes required by vpopmail-5.4.18+. You should run the qtp-convert script which will do them for you (qtp-newmodel does this as well).


TTBOMK, all problems with vqadmin have been fixed. If you have a problem with it, let us know and we'll see if it can't be fixed. Likewise with vpopmail and quotas. There might be some database fixing that needs to be done to put things in sync for you, but we can cross those bridges as they come.

As always, if you have any problems with this, please post here.

Thanks to everyone who's helped along the way with this, especially our own Bharath, and Matt at inter7 (the present vpopmail maintainer).
