General (All backends should apply these steps)

Update /etc/iredmail-release with new iRedMail version number

iRedMail stores the release version in /etc/iredmail-release after installation, it's recommended to update this file after you upgraded iRedMail, so that you can know which version of iRedMail you're running. For example:

0.9.5-1

Upgrade iRedAPD (Postfix policy server) to the latest stable release (1.9.1)

iRedAPD-1.9.1 fixes a bug in tools/spf_to_greylist_whitelists.py which was introduced in iRedAPD-1.9.0.

Please follow below tutorial to upgrade iRedAPD to the latest stable release: Upgrade iRedAPD to the latest stable release

Fixed: cannot deliver email to system account.

iRedMail-0.9.5 and early releases have incorrect Postfix settings which causes emails sent to system account cannot be delivered to mailbox. Please follow steps below fix it.

Please open file /etc/postfix/main.cf (Linux/OpenBSD) or /usr/local/etc/postfix/main.cf (FreeBSD), remove below 2 parameters:

home_mailbox = ...

Restarting or reloading Postfix service is required.

Fixed: Incorrect compress and uncompress command in logrotate config files

This bug was introduced in iRedMail-0.9.5. If you're upgrading from iRedMail-0.9.4 or earlier release, it's safe to ignore this step.

iRedMail-0.9.5 sets incorrect command for parameter compresscmd and uncompresscmd, please fix it with commands below:

• On RHEL/CentOS/Debian/Ubuntu:

export _Z="$(which bzip2)"
export _UZ="$(which bunzip2)"
perl -pi -e 's# /bin/bzip2# $ENV{_Z}#g' /etc/logrotate.d/*
perl -pi -e 's# /bin/bunzip2# $ENV{_UZ}#g' /etc/logrotate.d/*
