The new version 0.4 of SmartPost can be found here http://hinux.hin.no/~michailt/smartpost SmartPost v0.4 29.08.2003 Based on SmartPost Mode v0.3.1 How To Upgrade ============= To successfully upgrade your SmartPost installation to v0.4 1. Save your old config 'confglobal.php' file for case of trouble. 2. Ovewrite all the files in SmartPost directory with new files (from SmartPost v0.4 archive) 3. Edit your _new_ 'confglobal.php' file manually. Don't use your old config file! 4. Enable dayli statistics for XMail. In /etc/rc.d/init.d/xmail Set XMAIL_CMD_LINE XMAIL_CMD_LINE="-Mr 24 -Pl -Sl -Ql -Fl -Cl -Ll" 5. Update SmartPost's SQL structure Run #mysql -u dbadmin -p mail < upgrade04.sql General Project News =================== * SmartPost Modification project was renamed just to SmartPost. There is no any others SmartPosts. Just this project. Version numbers line remains from Mode line. * We'v got a new member in a crew. Mircea Ciocan, welcome aboard! * After some fighting around php inclusions I decided to remain the files structure the same as it was. * New iptables congfuration is included into installation instraction. General Improvements =================== * From the very beginning SmartPost SQL structure contained one small bug. This bug made impossible to create mailing lists with the same name in a different domains. This bug is fixed in smartpost.sql from v0.4 To upgrade from early releases run as a mysql root (or dbadmin) upgrade04.sql like this # mysql -u dbadmin -p mail<upgrade04.sql This will drop primary key in 'mailinglists' table. Of course, you can do this manually or by using phpMyAdmin. * All the global variables in 'confglobal.php' are in BIG LETTERS now. Thus they can be easy distinct from other variables. * 'confglobal.php' gets the new variable $DOMAINS. This is an array that contains all the domains that are being managed by SmartPost installation. This variable make it easy for users to log in to webmail interface. Administrator Interfaces ======================= * Administrators are able to create 'open' and 'close' mailing lists. Only the members can send to 'close' lists. * Members in the list can be with 'Read' and 'Read/Write' permissions. Even the permission is just 'Read', members (and anybody else) can send mail to 'open' lists. * Many domain accounts can be added to the maling list at once (currently with RW permissions only) * It is possible to get dayli statistics now. To enable dayli statistics start XMail demon with particular command line parameters. Edit /etc/rc.d/init.d/xmail There is a variabel XMAIL_CMD_LINE in the beginning of this file Set this variabel like this XMAIL_CMD_LINE="-Mr 24 -Pl -Sl -Ql -Fl -Cl -Ll" Note "-Mr 24" in this line. This is 24 hours dayli log stats. * Many interface improvements. It's more comfortable now. User Interface ============= * Login is possible now from any browser that supports Java including Mozilla, Netscape, Konqueror, IE, Opera. Thanks goes to Mircea Ciocan. * Replaced nl2br() function with some regexp, that made message display MUCH better, also the printable version is nicer. * Create folder was able to create strange folder names containing invalid chars, also the lenght of the name was totally unlimited. It is limited now the lenght to 20 alfa-numeric chars to escape undelteable and other security risks. * 'Sent', 'Trash', and 'Drafts' folders are being created automatically now When the user logins for the first time to webmail. There is no more need to click twice on [Folders] menu. * Users can login to webmail interface by choosing the domain list from the falling list box. (see $DOMAINS in confglobal.php) The old way to login using [EMAIL PROTECTED] _is also actual_ * Some other small but nice improvements in the users interface. * Note's length in the notebook can contain no more than 300 characters now. ------------------------------------------------------ Thanx to all the users of SmartPost for feedback and support of this project.
