Jan 6, 2014

New in Clement 2.6-3.8 (Aug 23, 2013)

  • This version fixed a problem where the number of "checker" processes within the configuration file was not used.

New in Clement 2.6-1.1.1 (May 1, 2013)

  • This version's main improvement is the LDAP interface.
  • It can now probe an LDAP server to check if a user exists (no need to define all users within Clement if you already have an LDAP server).

New in Clement 2.5-148.10 (Dec 10, 2012)

  • This production release fixes a small bug within Authentication (AUTH PLAIN) on the SMTP channel (working now with an LG smartphone type).

New in Clement 2.5-148.9 (Nov 20, 2012)

  • The local plain alias email is set as the good originator when working in smart relaying mode.
  • bl.ipv6.spameatingmonkey.net was removed from the IPv6 default SBL server list, as it is no longer responding.

New in Clement 2.5-148.8 (Nov 15, 2012)

  • An improvement in smart relaying (taking care of re-bounced email).
  • Fixes a bug within the B64 routine that could make one of the listening process crash in the SMTP authentication sequence.

New in Clement 2.5-148.5 (Oct 3, 2012)

  • This version adds a smart relaying improvement: when an IP is within the relayed list, "envelope from:" is checked to verify that the originator is known and still active.
  • If the originator wants to use an external email reference (Hotmail, Gmail, etc.), this external email address must be found within a "multi-path" list and linked to an active known user.
  • This is to avoid relay spam when the end user workstation is compromised and an unrelated "envelope from:" is used by the bots.
  • Various small bugfixes and log improvements have been added.

New in Clement 2.5-148.2 (Aug 31, 2012)

  • This version supports TLS-encrypted authentication on POP3 and IMAP channels (used to check user credentials while posting email messages), and fixes a bug within a SQL call which made all SMTP input freeze once in a while (timing-dependant). Users are strongly advised to upgrade.

New in Clement 2.5-147.9 (Jul 19, 2012)

  • IP_banned email status can be overridden by standard users now.
  • The banned list scan process was staying in zombie state, locking out the next scan; such updates were not transmitted to trusted remote (major bug).
  • Group interface and cron activation days can all be unselected (if at least one day was not selected, saving this new configuration was not working).
  • When a quarantined email is recalled, this release uses E-From domain instead of H-from domain.
  • If both domains were not the same, the override directive was not working correctly with the next email
