The processing of messages in the processing queue and the processing of
undelivered and delayed messages have been cardinally accelerated.
Significantly accelerated the processing of messages when they are sent.
Improved server performance in general.
Support for secure connections (SSL/TLS) with activation when the client
is connected (connection mode to a special port) in SMTP, POP3, HTTP and
WinAdmin services. Support is enabled separately for each service. SMTP
and POP3 services also allow to select the protection activation mode.
Support for secure connections (SSL/TLS) with the server (WinAdmin
service) in the console with the ability to disable server certificate
validation.
Ability to search for a specified string in lists of users, antispam
rules, sorting rules and remote messages.
Now copying text in Russian (and some other languages) via the clipboard
from the console to applications that support Unicode and back is
performed correctly, regardless of the current input language.
All services, when authentication fails, write to the log the name of
the user for whom the failure occurred, and the exact reason for the
failure: incorrect password, user does not exist or is inactive.
Services that have changed the port or IP address for accepting
connections are automatically restarted when the changes are applied.
Added an activity check box in the properties of web site, user, address
alias, schedule, time subrange, remote SMTP server. The server only
works with active records.
Ability to select a standard port number from the list has been added to
all fields for input the port number. When select a standard port, the
necessary connection security settings (SSL/TLS) are automatically set.
All password input fields in the console are brought to a single form:
input field, clear password button, show/hide password button. The saved
password cannot be changed or shown, it can only be cleared and a new
one entered.
To avoid long console freezes when working with the server, the
"Timeout" field has been added to the connection window.
To avoid long antivirus freezes when scanning messages, the "Max. time
of message check" field has been added to the antivirus properties.
The "Timeout" field in the properties of connection through SOCKS server.
Ability to deny web access to a specified web site folder.
Ability to require authentication for web access not only to the entire
web site, but also to a specific folder of it.
The HTTP service now returns not only the HTTP error code, but also the
error description displayed in the client's browser.
The "Auto-adjusting fonts" check box in the console options.
The "SSL/TLS" column has been added to the lists of services, remote
SMTP and POP3/IMAP servers and connections. The "Protocol" column has
been added to the list of remote POP3/IMAP servers.
In user properties, the domain is displayed after the name.
Ability to copy the lines of the screen log using Ctrl + Insert keys.
Icons have been added to all drop-down lists for selecting records
created on the server. The icon kind corresponds to the record type.
Server startup has been accelerated by reading inf files in the
background. Now, even with a large number of messages in the processing
queue, the main functionality of the server starts working almost
immediately after launch.
Updating the list of sending tasks in the console has been cardinally
accelerated.
Now in the unregistered copy of the program (demo version) the number of
active records is limited: web site - 1, address alias - 3, scheduler
task command - 10, remote SMTP server - 2, remote mailbox - 3, antispam
rule - 10, sorting rule - 10. The number of inactive records is
unlimited. The registered copy of the program does not have these limits.
Now it is not the total number of users that is limited, as it was
before, but the number of active users. The number of inactive users is
unlimited.
Now, if the number of active records exceeds the current limits when the
server is started, the server work is suspended (only administration is
available) until the registration key is activated or the excess is
eliminated. The console displays the corresponding message when
connecting to the server. In this case, lists of records display all
records, including those exceeding the limits.
In the SOCKS service, data transfer between the client and the target
server was previously performed without a timeout, which could cause a
long hang of connections. The timeout specified in the SOCKS service is
now applied.
The DNS client has been optimized in terms of working with the list of
DNS servers, and minor errors have been fixed.
In user properties, specifying the domain in the name is prohibited.
In the WinAdmin service, it is now not allowed to select such an IP
address for accepting connections, in which local connection will become
impossible.
The monitor options window now uses the current system font.
Small improvements, fixing minor errors and defects in the console,
server, installer and monitor.
UTF-8 encoded strings containing certain characters were not decoded.
In certain cases, the coordination of threads was disrupted, which could
cause delays in sending, receiving from remote mailboxes and processing
mail, as well as the hanging of scheduler tasks that started sending and
receiving mail.
In the properties of the sending queue, it was impossible to move
servers through the list, the error "Access violation at address
0049DD21" occurred.
Due to the nature of Windows, when updating the date of the last write
to a file, some log files were deleted a day later than they should have
been.
If the server was running as an application, then when the Windows
session ended, the run separator was not written to all log files except
the main one.
