SurgeMail 7.3d Features

7.3d-33 New setting g_friends_local_match "true" which prevents friend matches for some common forgeries where from/to are both local domains but the spf sender is not local.
7.3d-23 Clarified spam log entries so initial entry is 'UNDECIDED' rather than 'ALLOWED' for non friends. Added QNUM to the log entries. Added g_ban_From to msg*.rec log entries, bounced the default tcp queue length on linux from 25 to 128.
7.3d-22 Added domain admin bulk account creation/modification in the admin tool. See 'bulk' tab after logging into user.cgi as a domain admin.
7.3d-21 Added DES/CBC3 ciphers back again :-)... If you really want to break windows XP users using outlook, then add this setting. g_ssl_disable_des "TRUE"
7.3d-20 Added email warning when thread limit is approached and automatic saving of details to status.threads file.
7.3d-19 Added setting g_quota_notrash "true", if set, this means the 'Trash' folder does not count against the users quota. Use tellmail quota_resetall after changing this setting. This can make it easier for users to understand quota handling. g_expire_trash "true" should probably be used as well.
7.3d-18 Added G_DELIVER_ROBOT, this can be used to run a script at delivery time. e.g. "c:\surgemail\test.exe $FILE$ $TO$ $FROM$" the two variables are replaced with the file that can be modified/rewritten and the recipient's email address.
7.3d-17 Added setting g_notlocal, if enabled then if a message is from a local domain but is not an authenticated user or spf pass then the subject is prefixed with [UnTrusted Origin], this can help to alert users of forgeries.
7.3d-17 Added setting g_status_login "true", this modifies the spam status message handling so that users must login (once per session) to perform actions, e.g. release or view messages. This 'may' prevent google from miss classifying user.cgi and report.cgi urls as unsafe.
7.3d-13 Renaming a user now attempts to rename the users directory rather than copying it (much faster). Also improved to work with mirror correctly. Added nwauth_mod to account interface to simplify programmatically modifying user fields.
7.3d-12 Added G_ACCESS_WEBONLY "webonly", to limit some users who are in the 'webonly' group to surgeweb (no imap or pop).
7.3d-9 Added g_mirror_resync_inbox and g_mirror_lock, these settings should be used if you are using automatic load sharing between master/mirror (which we don't recommend :-).
7.3d-8 Removed user level aliases.txt files, the domuser.dat file is now used in all situations for user level aliases.
7.3d-4 To address obscure DOS issuse, reduced HTTP header read timeouts to 1/3 of g_web_timeout, and reduced g_web_timeout from 3 minutes to 30 seconds.
Note: DES CBC3 ciphers were removed again (at some point :-) if g_ssl_perfect is used, if you have trouble with old versions of outlook, then add back in with this setting: g_ssl_ciphers_add "DES-CBC3-SHA:ECDHE-RSA-DES-CBC3-SHA:ECDHE-ECDSA-DES-CBC3-SHA"

SurgeMail 7.3d Bugs

7.3d-33 Fixed issue with surbl code extracting a subset of the real domain name by mistake. e.g. xyz-int.com --> int.com
7.3d-31 Fixed bug related to users with '_' in the name, in the web admin interface.
7.3d-30 Fixed issue where ssl fails to load if surge_chain.pem exists but doesn't contain the correct certificate even when surge_cert.pem does. Note the surge_chain.pem file should never be used except for letsencrypt. In reality the chain must always be prefixed by the real certificate, and this should be done in surge_cert.pem file. Sometimes your Registrar will provide what they call a chain file. But that must be appended to your certificate file and cannot be used by itself.
7.3d-25 Made imap channel data counter a double int to avoid overflows.
7.3d-24 Added g_access_surgeweb setting, if enabled surgeweb access obeys g_access rules based on client's address, if not set then it uses the surgeweb servers ip address. This restores the behavior to what it was prior to 7.2f4 which follows our policy of avoiding changes that modify existing behavior even in obscure ways - as this makes upgrades much safer.
7.3D-23 Fixed dns caching for mx lookups.
7.3d-22 Increased max spam messages searchable in the friend pending list from 10,000 to 30,000.
7.3d-21 Fixed issues with admin tool showing user.cgi info and allow link (related to 7.3d-17 feature). Fixed all mirror resync commands to all send the same misc top level config files.
7.3d-17 Archive and Status html message viewing was previously disabled to avoid a google classification issue, this didn't help so we have enabled viewing again. For earlier builds set G_STATUS_VIEW_HTML "true" to fix this issue. (so in all cases, set that setting)
7.3d-16 Tightened url handling for report.cgi. Fixed handing of surge_chain.pem (so it works :-). For earlier versions place the chain certs at the end of surge_cert.pem. If both files exist surge_chain.pem will be used instead so make sure that is up to date (if it exists).
7.3d-15 Fixed bug in imap handling of ranges whereby it would respond with the last message in the folder if the range was outside the range of messages that exist. This could confuse the thunderbird email client and result in a message that couldn't be deleted.
7.3d-14 Fixed fault with uidnext not updating in all cases when g_imap_status_stored enabled, fault introduced in 6.9, symptoms would include some email clients not showing new messages reliably until checking email with another email client.
7.3d-12 Note only: Due to a bug in the latest Centos 7 Kernal you may need to remove the 'ulimit' command from surgemail_start.sh
7.3d-12 Fixed mirroring bug if g_recycling is used, introduced in 7.2f-12 (when recycling was added). Added G_ACCESS_WEBONLY "webonly", to limit some users to only 'web' access (no imap or pop)
7.3d-11 Fixed rare crashing bug in mirror decoding.
7.3d-10 Fixed crashing bug introduced in 7.3d-6 to fix handle leaks.
7.3d-9 Possible obscure/rare user cache entry crash fix.
7.3d-8 Corrected nwauth issue in 7.3c beta.
7.3d-7 Added setting to enable secure flag for all ssl cookies. Corrected letsencrypt path construction for systems with surgemail in non standard folder.
7.3d-6 Tightened up rules for matching cgi prefix in madmin for domadmin and user cgi's. Fixed file handle leak if ssl certificates miss configured.
7.3d-5 Fixed multi line manager settings for non default domain.

SurgeMail 7.3b Features

SurgeMail 7.3b Bugs

7.3b-3 Simplified about_mail.htm to avoid triggering weird warnings in google.

SurgeMail 7.2m Features

7.2m-10 Modified urls for spam status report and view message to narrow affects of google phishing false positives. Also disabled html view by default due to remote risks of phishing.

7.2m-6 Improved g_virus_rename to handle some other mime variations.
7.2m-5 Fixed mutex deadlock with misc/vini mutexes.
7.2m-4 Fixed mutex deadlock and improved deadlock detection. Improved performance with large number of domains. Minor change to virus scanning in case file briefly locked. Improved handling of G_SPAM_USER_MAX and user level send max so the user level takes precedence.

SurgeMail 7.2j Features

7.2j-17 Added g_friends_cleanup setting, which if enabled will over time trim friend.lst files that contains more than 10,000 entries to the ones actually used by the user.
7.2j-15 Implemented Proxy TCP protocol version 1 (not version 2) for smtp,imap,pop, use the setting g_tcp_proxy_ip "1.2.3.4", see: http://www.haproxy.org/download/1.8/doc/proxy-protocol.txt
7.2j-14 Stopped virus scanning of internal msgs. Auto create recycling root folder. Ignore drafts folder for recycling purposes.
7.2j-14 Removed recent cipher addition from g_ssl_perfect !DES-CBC3-SHA:!ECDHE-RSA-DES-CBC3-SHA:!ECDHE-ECDSA-DES-CBC3-SHA as this creates outlook issues, if desired add it using g_ssl_ciphers_add "!DES-CBC3-SHA:!ECDHE-RSA-DES-CBC3-SHA:!ECDHE-ECDSA-DES-CBC3-SHA"
7.2j-13 Autodiscover/autoconfig for email clients (outlook, thunderbird, IOS) https://netwinsite.com/surgemail/help/autodiscover.htm
7.2j-12 Added basic functionality of policy.dat feature, full UI will be added in a later build.
7.2j-11 Added domain level sent_store setting
7.2j-7 Added setting to prevent user copying messages from Trash folder to Trash folder (or case variants). g_imap_trash_nocopy
7.2j-6 Added IPV6 country code handling.
7.2j-5 Added simple user level setting to auto archive inbox/sent folders to keep email tidy.

SurgeMail 7.2j Bug fixes

7.2j-19 Cleaned up xcmd status information.
7.2j-18 Improved spam_block handling to block from,return path and reply-to.
7.2j-17 Fixed issue with friend_pending messages being sent to recycling folder when deleted.
7.2j-16 Improved g_webmail_secret handling so it will work if not set (but should be set still).
7.2j-12 Fixed from_rewrite so it will work with a wildcard list of the form *@a.com,!fred@a.com
7.2j-10 Made g_sf_list work correctly if g_sf_binary is not enabled.
7.2j-9 Fixed issue with slow mail processing of messages containing many attachments on systems using do_not_run virus scanning method. This fault could cause duplicate messages! Also improved logging to detect similar issues in future.
7.2j-8 Added !DES-CBC3-SHA to g_ssl_perfect cipher rules. Improved the code to ignore bad login guessing of duplicate passwords.
7.2j-7 Fixed memory leak in feat.c if train folders empty but g_sf_binary enabled.
7.2j-5 Fixed default ssl context if ssl_pop_domain is defined and points to an invalid domain it was defaulting to the last rather than first domain.
7.2j-4 Made spam folder comparison case insensitive so notspam button will move messages even if folder has wrong name.
7.2j-3 Made password retrieval questions case insensitive. Removed extra questions for existing password when not needed.
7.2j-2 Fixed fault with G_SMITE_SKIP_FROM so it now applies to the header as well as the envelope From.
7.2j-1 Fixed bug with confirm emails (when g_friends_byemail is enabled)

SurgeMail 7.2i Release candidate.

SurgeMail 7.2h Features

7.2h-5 Added setting G_DLIST_ONE, to prevent a message being sent to a mailing list 'and' another address.
7.2h-4 New settings skips late forwarding feature for local addresses: g_late_skiplocal "true"
7.2h-3 Added sf_rules.txt to allow for fine tuning of spam handling. Enabled with setting: g_sf_rules "true", not recommended yet.
7.2h-2 Added 'upload private file' to SSL upload page.
7.2h-2 Spam handling tuning. Moving a message from spam to inbox now removes blacklist entries.

SurgeMail 7.2h Bugs/Fixes.

7.2h-5 Change virus scanning so it doesn't try and scan the raw msg body by default.
7.2h-4 Fixed issue with surgeweb logins requiring SSL incorrectly due to change in IP address handling for surgeweb sessions.
7.2h-3 Made g_friends_obey_spf only apply to local domains.
7.2h-2 Fixed SSL certificate upload page so you can choose which domain the certificate is for, doh!. In the mean time copy to the ssl/domain.name folder manually.
7.2h-3 Reversed 7.2f-19 spam scoring changes.

SurgeMail 7.2f Features (fixes in separeate list below)

7.2f-19 Implemented Outlook plugin for POP3 users who still wish to train the server easily (IMAP users can just move the message to the spam folder), two buttons are added to the 'home' menu. See https://netwinsite.com/surgemail/help/outlook.htm
7.2f-17 Modified G_SPAM_STATUS_HOUR so it now allows a list of hours, e.g. "9,10,12,15,17"
7.2f-12 Added undelete feature to cope with users who accidentally delete messages (or entire folders). When messages are purged from imap folders (excluding the trash) the message is moved to a separate user level readonly folder (-System Recycling-), and stays their for g_undelete_life days. Messages can be restored by copying them from this folder using any normal imap client.
In some cases users will not wish to have this folder visible, in which case use the group setting to restrict visibility, the default is all users can see it.
Enable with these settings:
   g_recycling "true"
   g_recycling_life "30"
(Optional, not normally needed settings)
   g_recycling_visible "staff" # Allows members of group 'staff' to see the System Recycling folders (without this setting, all users can see the folders, with this setting, ONLY members of that group will see these folders)
   g_recycling_del "staff" # Allows members of 'staff' to delete messages from the System Recycling folders (not normally recommended)

Note: this will use additional disk space that doesn't count for the users quota. On most systems this extra disk usage will be insignificant, e.g. 5%.
Note: Normally the visible and del settings are not required, but may be useful if users complain about being able to see 'deleted' messages, or about not being able to fully delete deleted messages. One could imagine if a user has been having secret discussions they might wish to be able to delete 'all' evidence visible from the email client at least. Normally this should not be permitted as it allows a hacker to delete the backup of a users email which is one of the reasons for having this feature!
7.2f-9 Added G_SPAM_ALLBAD to improve handling of simple repetitive spam if a specific user has trained a message and the from/to/ip remains the same.
7.2f-8 Added g_imap_folder setting to specify common use folders for IMAP LIST exension, this setting just names the folders so Imap client's can use the correct/common folder name. It doesn't have any operational meaning. Typical settings to use:
    g_imap_folder name="Spam" type="Junk"
    g_imap_folder name="Sent" type="Sent"
    g_imap_folder name="Drafts" type="Drafts"
    g_imap_folder name="Trash" type="Trash"
7.2f-5 Added g_friends_autodom to auto whitelist domain/ip pairs for all users.

SurgeMail 7.2f Fixes

7.2f-19 Adjusted spam scoring slightly. (spf is now not a limiting factor on the score)
7.2f-18 Improved cached imap part handling to ensure it is reliable. Fixed G_SPAM_ALLBAD crash bug. Made portforce prevent login attempts on smtp.
7.2f-16 Fixed create 'CSR' page so it does not replace the certificate file. Added buttons to allow replacing the private and certificate files if wanted.
7.2f-15 Fixed G_FRIENDS_OBEY_SPF also consider the default spf if there is no real spf entry for the sending domain.
7.2f-7 Fixed relay bug introduced in 7.2f-5 build. Added error if old_pophost_always and nodelete are both set (only valid for imap settings)
7.2f-6 Slightly increased spam score if verybad and good scores both present...
7.2f-4 Auto define g_webmail_secret, and changed surgeweb to log ip address of user.
7.2f-3 Fixed authent corruption issue in netauth_update_user code. Improved logging of deleted messages.
7.2f-2 Fixed issue with x-spamdetect header in filter exception rules. Also added popfetch page to admin gui.
Made g_user_send_max apply if group is missing (should be set to "*")

SurgeMail 7.2e Release build.

Surgemail 7.2d Features

7.2d-17 Added g_virus_cloud setting to enable cloud scanning (primarily for use on smaller systems using clamav, note that this setting does send the samples over the internet so may not be appropriate in all situations).
7.2d-16 Improvements to virus handling to allow easy integration with your choice of system level virus scanners (Windows Defender and ClamAV etc). Legacy support for avast will continue for 12 months but we recommend using the new virus config page to change to one of the above scanners after updating surgemail. Avast support is being phased out due to multiple long standing support/performance issues and tests that show we can achieve better results with system provided scanners and other new features.
7.2d-10 Added more letsencrypt support. Setting g_letsencrypt to define the path to the certificates (which are auto coppied and loaded once a day), the domain name is automatically added so one global setting is sufficient. tellmail letsencrypt command added, to generate sample commands to generate certificates. See https://netwinsite.com/surgemail/help/letsencrypt.htm
7.2d-10 Added email based password reset handling. Users can define a recovery email address, and then request a reset link via that email account when trying to login. tellmail question_reminders modified to send to users who have no password recovery questions or recovery email defined. user.cgi user settings modified to allow users to define their recovery email. Add this entry to allow users to do this:
g_authent_info name="Password Recovery" field="pass_recover" access="user"
and ensure your user database supports that field (nwauth does automatically)
7.2d-9 Added tellmail question_reminders to send emails to users who have not configured their password recovery questions. This command should be run once a year or so. It will send to all users found in the user database (that have not already configured the questions). The template file question_reminder.eml will be used (or created) if it doesn't exist, use this variable inside the template for the usercgi url: ||user_url||
7.2d-5 Added g_hacker_days to adjust the time that ip addresses are locked out for, the default was 7 and is now 30.
7.2d-2 Added/fixed g_authent_enforce setting (not recommended)
Added support for 64 bit build on windows.

Surgemail 7.2d Fixes

7.2d-19 Modified crash handling to prevent deadlock. Added g_smite_skip_from
7.2d-18 bug fix g_smtp_noauth wasn't showing correct log message.
7.2d-15 Fixed issue with imap idle command on mirror not seeing new messages immediately.
7.2d-14 Minor fix to imail_inherit
7.2d-13 Fixed rare nwauth race condition on unix which could miss an update from the master occasionally. Issue tellmail resync_nwauth on master to ensure authent matches on the slave.
7.2d-12 Minor fixes to bind'ing to incoming ip address for bounces etc if g_bind_incoming used
7.2d-11 Fixed mapping of url to vdomain where multiple vdomains have the same matching vdomain ip address but only one matches the url.
7.2d-8 Fixed fault with imap literal decoding if more than one sent by client in a single command.
7.2d-6 Made tellmail ssl_reload create new domain certificates without needing a restart. Reduce burst logging if uid already set.
7.2d-4 atrest fixes, added clear logging for responder not responding to msg.log. Added spam settings changes to security log.
7.2d-3 Fixed crash in atrest feature.
7.2d-1 Changes required for 64bit vs12 build. Some general corrections for time_t usage. Fixed windows backtrace code.
If using windows 64bit build and avast then you will need to use the avastpipe external module, like this:

    Extract this file and place in surgemail folder: https://netwinsite.com/ftp/misc/apipe.zip
    In surgemail.ini set:
            g_virus_filter cmd="avastpipe" type="" (add)
            g_virus_avast "false" (change from true to false)
            g_virus_restart "1000"

    And restart surgemail

Surgemail 7.2c - Tagged build

Surgemail 7.2b

7.2b-15 Minor change to avoid repeated quota warning messages when user is at 80% usage. Added g_spf_enforce_real setting, this enforces spf behaviour strictly for domains that have a strong spf rule. Also note G_DOMAIN_TEMPLATES was enhanced to work with normal pages in www folder.
7.2b-14 Added g_safe_warning which alerts users when they login from a new location. It also obeys the whitelists g_safe_white and g_safe_country so you can limit it to only warn about logins from outside your own country.
7.2b-13 Added G_CREATE_APPLY_ADMIN, fixed crashing issue in new calendar features.
7.2b-12 Fixed bug in imap Move extension when used with mirroring, it was not correctly expunging the files on the mirror, also quota was incorrectly handled.
7.2b-11 Fixed crash in save user settings introduced in 7.2b-9.
7.2b-10 Added setting(s) to allow spf to over-rule friends more cleanly: Use g_spf_nofriend "true" g_friends_obey_spf "true" and possibly g_known_skip "true"
7.2b-9 Added domain setting suspend_incoming to temporarily block incoming email to a domain while moving it etc... (also use the suspend setting to block logins)
7.2b-8 Fixed handling of obsolete ssl settings, and cleaned up wweb.log issue with url admin requests. Corrected stopped spf/srs rewriting for surgewall domains. Added handling of surge_chain.pem
7.2b-7 Added g_imap_search_text, fixed smtp_from_ip to ignore authenticated users,
7.2b-6 Added sha2 support to nwauth, add command line switch -sha2 in g_authent_process setting to enable. Also requires nwauth 4.3a
7.2b-5 Added g_country_login and related settings to block all logins from outside your geographic region, e.g. "us,nz,au" ideal for smaller systems where most users are local. Use g_country_allow to list users that are travelling... Added auth plain to gateway login mechanisms. Fixed cpu loop in rare web requests.
7.2b-4 Improved tellmail ssl_reload and certificate handling code, and added error messges to the ssl certificate form. Added setting g_msg_nodup which can prevent duplicates when a message is sent to a user directly and via a mailing list.
7.2b-3 Fixed log entries for user filters to log the reason.
7.2b-2 Split g_ssl_ciphers,g_ssl_ciphers_web and g_ssl_disable,g_ssl_disable_web to adjust protocol and ciphers for web separately, this can be necessary if your security experts want a crazy subset of ciphers or protocols for web access, but that set won't work for older mail servers and email clients. Also moved the individual settings g_ssl_disable* to g_ssl_disable setting that takes a simple list of the protocols to disable: tlsv1,tlsv1_1,tlsv1_2,sslv2,sslv3, if the _web versions are not defined then the non _web setting is used as a default. The g_ssl_disable setting over-rides the older style individual settings g_ssl_disable_sslv2 etc...

Added g_route_local_ifexists to prevent rare open relay situations if g_route_local is used on well known domains, both settings are needed. With this setting relaying only occurs if the destination user exists locally too.
7.1f-7 Added g_footer_skipfound which can be used to allow users to send a specific footer instead of a general one. It should be set to something that is in the specific footer. g_footer_notfound must also be set to "true"
7.1f-6 Added setting to allow a script to be run to convert attachments, see example below
7.1f-5 Adjusted g_imap_idle_free behaviour to respond quickly for the first 10 seconds for outlook as it uses it instead of 'noop'. (Fixes slow 'sync folders')

7.1f-2 Modified avast mutex handling. Fix for large keep setting on g_archive. Added wsj exception to forgeme.

7.1f-6 attachment conversion feature:

First install the utility to do the conversion, for this example we will convert 'tiff' images to 'pdf' files using the imagemagic utility, install it first:ttp://www.imagemagick.org/script/binary-releases.php (available windows and linux)

http://www.ghostscript.com/download/gsdnld.html

Then find the path to the 'convert' binary you have installed, test it works manually to convert a sample tiff file, then add a setting to surgemail:

g_attach_convert to="" from="" subject="" files="*.tif*" output="%1.pdf" command="C:\Program Files\ImageMagick-6.9.2-Q16\convert.exe"

On linux you might use 'tiff2pdf' instead,

apt-get install libtiff-tools

Create a script cvt.sh in the surgemail folder:

#!/bin/bash
tiff2pdf $1 -o $2

Then add the setting:

g_attach_convert to="" from="" subject="" files="*.tif*" output="%1.pdf" command="/usr/local/surgemail/cvt.sh"

7.1e - release candidate3

7.1d-6 Fixed imap_idle free handling under load.

7.1d-5 Added some logging for imap idle handling.

7.1d-2 fixed g_imap_search_index again :-) (new imap load shown with tellmail erec_show)

7.1d-3 added simple form to add/remove users from a mailing list: see web/dlist_subscribe.htm for example code

7.1d-4 added more legal archive security log entries.

6.9d-46 Fixed bug in smalloc debugging code. :-)
6.9d-45 Experimenting with new spam settings (g_spam_bounce_store "true" which stores rejected spam in Spam_Rejected folder, to enable just set the obsolete setting per use to bounce email above a level of 14 for g_spam_bounce). Trying adding: !ADH-AES128-GCM-SHA256:!ADH-AES256-GCM-SHA384 to remove anon ciphers.
6.9d-44 add !ADH to cipher to remove any anonymous ciphers.
6.9d-43 Fixed slow memory leak in lib_email_getheaders function usage. Fixed thread issue related to main_thread_run structure initialization.
Note: g_ssl_ciphers now 'over-rides' g_ssl_perfect default ciphers, if you set the cipher list manually, then we assume you intended to! :-), added g_imap_status_stored to recommended settings, minor change to lang guess handling, new ssl libraries on most platforms.
6.9d-42 Testing new cipher suite: ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:DHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:DHE-DSS-AES128-GCM-SHA256:kEDH+AESGCM:ECDHE-RSA-AES128-SHA256:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-SHA256:ECDHE-RSA-AES128-SHA:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-SHA:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA384:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-SHA384:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-SHA:DHE-RSA-AES128-SHA256:DHE-RSA-AES128-SHA:DHE-DSS-AES128-SHA256:DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA256:DHE-DSS-AES256-SHA:DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA:ECDHE-RSA-DES-CBC3-SHA:ECDHE-ECDSA-DES-CBC3-SHA:AES128-GCM-SHA256:AES256-GCM-SHA384:AES128-SHA256:AES256-SHA256:AES128-SHA:AES256-SHA:AES:DES-CBC3-SHA:HIGH:!aNULL:!eNULL:!EXPORT:!DES:!RC4:!MD5:!PSK:!aECDH:!EDH-DSS-DES-CBC3-SHA:!EDH-RSA-DES-CBC3-SHA:!KRB5-DES-CBC3-SHA"
Instead of:
EECDH+AES:EDH+AES:-SHA1:EECDH+RC4:EDH+RC4:RC4-SHA:EECDH+AES256:EDH+AES256:AES256-SHA:!aNULL:!eNULL:!EXP:!LOW:!MD5
6.9d-41 Added support for the spamhaus.net domain rbl (note this is a paid service not a free one and you would need to get 'YUURCODE' to use it, in general the normal surbl settings should be quite sufficient)
g_surbl name="YOURCODE.dbl.dq.spamhaus.net" stamp="2:spam,3:none,4:phish,5:malware,6:botnet,102:xspam,103:xredirect,104:xphish,105:xmalware,106:xbotnet"
g_surbl_from "true"
6.9d-40 Fixed imap unseen counts when g_imap_status_stored setting is used./p>
6.9d-39 Fixed fault with VmSize on linux 64bit showing silly numbers due to linux/malloc/thread handling issue - this may improve performance on linux and or reduce memory usage. Made g_log_user work for ip addresses for smtp sessions. Fixed bug in g_virus_simple_zip and added dmalloc debugging to rest of zlib calls.
6.9d-38 added exceptions for safe_smtp for trusted/relay/gateway addresses.
6.9d-37 re enabled G_RENAME_CONTENT a valid setting would be "*application*zip*" only settings that contain the word "application" will work!!!
6.9d-36 Added g_ssl_disable_tlsv1_1 and g_ssl_disable_tlsv1_2, not recommended.
6.9d-35 Added setting g_restart_vmsize which can be used to auto restart surgemail if/when it's leaking memory, it's not normally needed. A typical value for this steting might be g_restart_vmsize "1200", but check the typical usage on your own system before setting it, a value too low would result in constant restarts.
6.9d-34 Fixed imap crashing issue, maybe.
6.9d-33 Added 90 second startup wait for avast on linux to avoid cpu issue with timeout on slow startup...
6.9d-32 More imap debugging code added to find a fault.

6.9d-26 Restored cipher list to: EECDH+AES:EDH+AES:-SHA1:EECDH+RC4:EDH+RC4:RC4-SHA:EECDH+AES256:EDH+AES256:AES256-SHA:!aNULL:!eNULL:!EXP:!LOW:!MD5 for g_ssl_perfect setting, this cipher list may not be as perfect but it is reasonable and seems to allow sufficient backward compatibility.
6.9d-25 Debugging for aspam issue.
6.9d-23 Fixed fault in imap_import loosing message dates.
6.9d-22 Fixed fault in G_DNS_BLANK_FAIL handling.
6.9d-21 Fixed issue with blog email address giving error while still working introduced in 6.9d-19.

6.9d-9 Added imap code to remove zero length files that can confuse email clients.
6.9d-8 Adjusted sf_train so it ignores user input for rule creation for both good and bad, setting g_sf_obey_users reverses this.
6.9d-7 Performance improvement reduced malloc usage.
6.9d-5 Added tellmail freq command to generate some malloc usage statistics.
6.9d-4 Fix for bug in list_cookies function

Surgemail Beta Build 6.8g

Beta Release

Surgemail 6.8f

6.8-f10 ADded g_virus_strangers, and scan of /var/log/messages on unexpected restarts for 'surgemail' entries.
6.8-f9 Recoded imap migration/import so it can be safely re-used and won't fetch the same items again.
6.8-f8 Fixed hang in windows installer on upgrade (the hang was after the upgrade completes so can be ignored)
6.8-f7 Changes to allow OSX/Yosemite launchd startup to work properly, after upgrading to Yosemite update surgemail to this version or later, then run:
./surgemail -install_startup
6.8-f6 Fixed logging of 'failed' state, and improved handling when no 'mx' host returned and 'a' address used.
6.8-f5 Fixed fault where settings excluded from mirroring would be removed if the other server had 'no' matching setting, the problem did not occur if both servers had 'different' settings.
6.8-f4 Made legal archive user level search also show results for aliases of the user searching.
6.8-f3 Improved tellmail path so it does also report if user account doesn't exist. Also fixed tellmail lookup to correct host aliases to the real domain name so lookups work.
6.8-f2 Improved g_respond_safer to make it more safe :-), Fixed g_hacker_poison so it correctly applies to smtp login attempts now.

Surgemail 6.8e Release Candidate

SurgeMail 6.8d

6.8d-8 Added g_migrate_password and tellmail migrate_password, useful during migration operations where you need to have a script login to all existing accounts without knowing their passwords. The password is not defined in plain text but by using the tellmail migrate_password command to generate a hash.
6.8d-7 Fixed dfopen handle issue with g_surgeweb_process when exiting.
6.8d-6 Fixed duplicated 'failed' log entries. Made imap max messages send a manager email when a folder exceeds the built in limits. Note if you get this warning increasing the limit is almost certainly the wrong solution :-), it's better for your system performance to get the user to 'organize' their messages.
6.8d-5 Added suspended2 and fallback_mx "true" option.
6.8d-4 Added user_exists command to http interface.
6.8d-2 Made mdir_copy http interface respond with user unknown error if account does not exist. Modified g_deny and g_country to cope with ipv6 prefixed ipv4 addresses.

6.8b-3 Added subject to spam verification web page
6.8b-2 Fixed new CSR generation...

Google have announced they are accelerating the move from SHA-1 to SHA-256 hashing so from about November chrome may warn users who visit a website using SHA-1. This probably means you will need to update any signed certificates used with SurgeMail. Self signed ones are not an issue (since they already generate warnings :-)

See https://netwinsite.com/surgemail/help/sha256.htm

6.7b-40 Fixed crash if message is trained on with g_surgeweb_process true.
6.7b-39 g_rename_content removed as could be easily misused and do the wrong thing (resulting in corrupt messages).
6.7b-38 Added imap auth plain handling for compatibility with 'odd/faulty' applications.

6.7b-25 Modified burst behaviour to be more resilient in the face of rename errors and avoid creating uid gaps.
6.7b-24 Fixed g_bounce_paranoid so it obeys g_bounce_to setting.
6.7b-23 Made g_user_send_white a multi line setting
6.7b-22 tweaked msleep to no less than 20ms in most cases to avoid strange osx wakeup limits
6.7b-21 minor changes to thread comparison and mutex code.
6.7b-20 turned dmalloc off again due to performance issue.
6.7b-18 turned dmalloc on

Surgemail 6.5a Sep 8 06:30:22 2013

Surgemail 6.4b

6.4b-62 Changed crash handling slightly. Added some logging for blog stuff to find performance issue....
6.4b-60 Changed blog lock handling code, added setting g_debug_timing to track disk IO usage. Added g_hacker_weak to automatically block ip addresses of people trying to login with a weak password...
6.4b-59 Changed status display for avastpipe option. Added command to MOVE duplicate mesageid's from a users inbox
(Use if a migration results in multiple coppies of a message in a users inbox) tellmail inbox_cleanup user@xyz.com /var/dups
6.4b-56 Optimized friends_always so it won't append to friend lists that exceed 1mb.. Increased g_thread_max and g_pop_max defaults slightly.
6.4b-55 Added hacker seting G_SPAM_USER_BADTO which limits bad recipients for an authenticated user, if exceeded then sending is paused for 30 minutes. A value of 50 might be reasonable as normal users would never exceed that. A value as low as 10 might be workable. Whitelist accounts using: G_SPAM_USER_SKIP. An email is sent to the manager account when this limit is hit!
6.4b-54 Improved mutex crash handling slightly to avoid a possible deadlock. NFS fix reverted as the real fault was something else probably related to the system in question and this change simply revealed the issue (or made it worse :-)
6.4b-52 Added support for cram-md5 for pop protocol. (Not recommended, in general ssl/tls is a better choice)
6.4b-51 Fixed bug with imap import/migration where it could remove messages that had failed to import. Also fixed fault with handling of timeout reset (keep alive) messages from exchange which could confuse the migration code. Also improved migration code so it would re login if the server disconnects it while it's fetching messages for a migration.
6.4b-50 Made replies to replies to encrypted messages be encrytped by default by surgeweb...
6.4b-49 Fixed fault with nfs drives and burst 'renaming' loop if file size is reported incorrectly by nfs. (REVERTED IN 6.4b-53)
6.4b-47 Fixed fault with 1.00 spam rules.
6.4b-46 Fixed fault with multiple pop sessions reading the same message at the same time.
6.4b-45 Fixed quota for accounts migrated via imap. Added tellmail command tellmail user_setfield user@domain field value
6.4b-44 Added support for g_sf_binary manual rule with value of 1.00 which will mean 'is definitely spam'. Also changed ifnew setting to work for domains.
6.4b-43 Added g_authent_addip to add the ip address as the 3rd parameter to the authent check from imap/pop logins - not for general use.
6.4b-42 Added prefixing for x-myrbl header. (corrects spam handling on messages from surgemail systems)
6.4b-41 improved handling for multi line smtp errors (gmail).
6.4b-40 added encrypt_ifnew setting to enable the verify/trust option in surgeweb.
6.4b-39 Fixed bug in expire rules, if a time greater than about 50 years is specified then it would cause an overflow and expire everything.
6.4b-39 Made surgevault display cc/to correctly matching original message.
6.4b-38 Added g_inbox_archive, g_sent_archive and domain level setting inbox_archive, these specifies the age at which messages should be moved out of the inbox/sent folder into the appropriate Archives/YYYY/Inbox (or Sent) folder. This can dramatically improve system and perceived performance as imap email clients waste a lot of resources and time dealing with large inbox/sent folders. You can manually trigger the nightly process with the command tellmail mail_rules
6.4b-36 Fixed fault in ip to country code, it was failing to match some ranges correctly
6.4b-19 Fixed intermittent failure to recognize non fake bounce messages due to mime encoding.
6.4b-18 Fixed bug in domain quota message which would have no subject and fail to tell the user that it was a 'domain' quota issue if a quota.eml template does exist and a quota_domain.eml template doesn't exist.
6.4b-17 Added setting for max items in a folder to mirror, and increased default to 160000 g_mirror_max
6.4b-16 Fixed logging issue on startup, fixed problem with Legal Archive bucket name change so it always uses the correct old and new bucket names.
6.4b-15 Fixed fault with invalid reverse DNS entries allowing spam through.
6.4b-13 Made CSR signing use SHA1 instead of MD5 since some signing authorities now complain about MD5. The setting to do this is now ignored!
6.4b-13 Made Legal Archive use native Amazon instead of DevPay (this will reduce costs long term and makes the files visible via your Amazon console), if upgrading you must enter a key pair from your amazon account and then use the tellmail la_transfer command to move data to your main s3 data area.
6.4b-12 Fixed fault with quota handling that would in some situations allow a user to get multiple quota warnings in one day.
6.4b-10 Added setting to throttle ssl renegotiation (not generally recommended)
6.4b-8 Added G_SPAM_USER_WARN, used to set a warning point, if the user sends this many messages in one day, then they get an email warning them to change their password or ask for a higher send limit if they were actually sending that many messages. The setting g_spam_user_max must also be set (and to a higher value!)
6.4b-7 Added g_create_pass_recheck, combined with g_hack_touser it will alert users with passwords that don't match your 'current' password requirements and ask them to change them.
6.4b-7 Removed legacy code writing to surgehost.ini unless g_webmail_save is set true. (Fixes deadlock issue)
6.4b-5 Fixed problem whereby one bad ssl certificate would prevent some or all ssl certificates from loading, also improved logging so mail.err reports which certificate is bad.
6.4b-4 Removed possible deadlock in vini error logging (occurs rarely when surgemail.ini contains syntax errors)
6.4b-2 Added header decoding to mfilter subject.
6.4b-1 New Beta Release (May 7th, 2013)
(Dkim bug fix related to leading full stops)

SurgeMail 6.3d

6.3d-80 Automatically skip several known bad rbl servers (njabl.org and trusted-forwarders.org)
6.3d-79 Fixed exception rules to use headers added during processing as well as those in the message.
6.3d-78 Fixed imap search on command
6.3d-77 Added G_ENCRYPT_RESET_SENDER to define message sent to 'sender' when password reset is requested.
Added g_virus_report_user, if enabled the recipient is sent a message when a virus is blocked, this setting is not recommended for normal use as in general telling recipients about viruses they didn't get is just irritating :-)
6.3d-76 Added some logging to track nightly load issue
6.3d-75 Fixed devide by zero in cimap_detect_loops if time goes backwards one second.
6.3d-74 Added domain level settings status_url
6.3d-73 Made g_smtp_maxbad 1000 the default, and added delay for bad commands to prevent wasted cpu.
6.3d-73 Added G_HACKER_PASSWORD which detects hackers and blocks them from guessing, it detects if the username is used as the password guess.
6.3d-69 Performance bug fixed in surgeweb, added in 6.3d-62
6.3d-63 Changed default domainkey size to 1024 (it was 2048 which made annoyingly large keys) Also added input field so you can specify this when generating your dkim private key.
6.3d-62 Corrected quota exceed smtp return code from 554 to 552
6.3d-56 Fixed G_VIRUS_ALLOW_UNMONITORABLE for non windows systems
6.3d-54 Added g_date_add_utc to add utc timezone if none specified
6.3d-43 Added mdir_delete function to http netauth functions (see accounts.htm)
6.3d-20 Added setting g_user_access_webonly, if set then user access rules like 'spam,filter,virus' only stop the web user interface (so users cannot mess with settings) but doesn't stop the action of spam,virus checking etc for that user.
Fixed slow memory leak in pop/migration import.
6.3d-19 Added config checker code to test g_dns_host with a couple of rbl and mx lookups. Note using a public dns like google's 8.8.8.8 servers will stop rbl lookups working correctly, you must use a real local dns server (your isp will almost certainly be providing one)
6.3d-18 Fixed crash in fedora (or new glibc) due to crypt() returning null on bad input. (fix is in nwauth and surgemail)
6.3d-17 Added Message-ID to expire messages.
6.3d-17 Fixed fault with ucount2.dat growing very large when deleting a large domain.
6.3d-17 Added options to user creation API to create folders and populate mdir folder with files. New options are &create_folders=Folder1,Folder2&mdir_copy=xmdir_template, this would create Folder1, Folder2, And it would copy (surgemail root)/xmdir_template files into the new users 'mdir' folder.
6.3d-16 Fixed problem with SurgeWall domains not applying blocklist entries. Revert behaviour with G_SURGEWALL_IGNORE_ERROR
6.3d-15 Fixed slow memory leak in imap list command.
6.3d-12 Improved mirror handling if slave is NOT set to allow config changes and a resync_config has never succeeded.
6.3d-11 Fixed minor domain admin issue, fixed spf handling for ipv6 rules, fixed
encrypt reply messages double line spacing issue.Fixed bug with /bind in gateway setting causing bad dns lookups.
Fixed problem with resync_config on a new mirror destroying an existing ini file if the first attempt to sync fails.
6.3d-10 Increased size of sf_mfilter scanning to 40k to help with spam filtering..Added g_migrate_onsmtp, if true it will do a migration if a user does an smtp login as well as pop / imap...
Fixed problem with imap envelope response for very long list of recipients. recipients.
Fixed possible memory leak in pair append from imap header read of 'message'.

SurgeMail 3.8b 28-August-2006 (Webmail 3.1r-12)

New: g_sms_forward - This setting allows you to specify IP's which can send to an sms="TRUE" gateway without being authenticated. Normally only smtp authenticated senders can use these because we need to be sure the sender really is the person sending, not someone faking their address (in order to decrement the correct users quota). However, if you can already guarantee the sender, or you don't care then you can use this setting. This allows your list server (dlist) to send to SMS numbers, for example.
New: surgewall_auth - user="username" pass="password" - Makes SurgeMail use SMTP AUTH when delivering to the SurgeWalled server.
New: g_spam_share - This lets surgemail share whitelisting information to improve scoring and avoid annoying spf bounce issues
New: g_friends_always - Allows user's friends setting to be overridden
New: Ability to view messages from user.cgi mailbox page & admin interface (requires g_user_mail_view) to see whether they are spam etc

New: tellmail append_ini and append_lists command to append ini file sections

Fix: g_orbs_check_all "true" caused g_orbs_late "true" to fail.
Fix: was not correctly stamping when g_orbs_list was setup to deal with multiple responses. eg g_orbs_list name="combined.njabl.org" action="stamp" stamp="3=NJABL-DUL~4=NJABL-Spam~NJABL-other"

SurgeMail 3.8a 27-July-2006 (Webmail 3.1r-8)

New: g_forward_attach - SurgeMail will send emails as attachments for specified domains when using late forwarding.
New: SurgeMail supports CIDR format in ip based settings.
New: g_domainkeys_check - Check incoming DomainKeys signatures (beta)
New: g_domainkeys_sign - Sign outgoing messages (create a key first using web admin)
New: g_domainkeys_selector - Policy name for your server (used creating dns entry for domainkeys)
New: g_domainkeys_only - Domains to sign for outgoing email
New: g_user_friends_log_disable - This disables the logging of lines to the users friends.log files (the users "log" page).
New: g_friends_old - restores old friends behaviour
New: g_spf_byweb - Description below in g_friends_byweb
New: g_friends_byweb - These settings enable the use of a link to "allow" bounced and/or friends pending messages. The link returns a page with a verification image, the user enters the number shown and clicks "Add IP" or "Release message" depending on the context. In the case of spf allow, this link _replaces_ the allow email address in the bounce message error string. In the case of friends, this link is added to the friends confirmation message
(default) and the option to add it to the custom message appears on the custom message page.
New: g_late_forward - described below in late_forward
New: late_forward - These force late forwarding and hide the user option on the forwarding page that chooses whether to get it or not. If the user has already selected late forwarding setting either of these will not clear that, even if they load and save the forwarding page. Disabling these settings later will revert it back to the users previous personal setting as you'd expect.
New: tellmail list_rcpt - Attempts to list all valid receipt addresses for the server
New: tellmail dropfile_import user@domain c:\inbox\fred\mail - This looks for 'dropfile's one per folder, and creates matching
folders/messages in surgemail (maildir format)
New: tellmail bull_fwd [domain] - This searches the authent database, locates all the accounts which forward to a non-local address (and do not also deliver locally or deliver to a robot or responder) and emails them all the bulletins they have not yet received.
New: Support for multiple webadmins added - "surgemail -admin_add"
New: added mirroring of mfilter.dat and simple.rul files
New: domainkey web admin interface page added
New: g_msg_log_extra - The setting causes extra logging in the msg.log files, it logs user logins and imap fetch commands (to match the existing pop retr ones).
New: You can now setup an auto response message and have it automatically turn off after a set period of time.
New: tellmail can now use SSL for connections - use -ssl on the command line.
New: forward message if smaller than xx (added to end user interface). If a message arrives which is larger than the specified size, it's not forwarded, it's delivered locally and a notification message is sent in it's place. This feature is especially useful to people who are forwarding email to pda devices with limited storage.
New: "match exactly", "does not contain", "does not match exactly" in filters in end user interface.
This feature only works if you use late forwarding (the interface makes this clear).
Change: g_forward_illegal - Rules only apply to non local domains now.
Change: g_spam_allow & g_con_perip_except changed to multi settings.
Change: Instead of sending a confirmation (to a possibly faked address, which would then be considered spam and cause you to be blacklisted by spamcop or similar) it gave a 554 error. It did this if the message did not contain spf headers with "pass" in them. In other words it did this when spf was disabled or when spf failed. It has been changed so that it only does it when spf is enabled and fails.
Change: On startup SurgeMail scans the mail queue, if this takes more than 10 seconds it skips the rest and makes an estimate.
Fix: g_user_alias_file - strange problems when editing in webadmin when alias.dat does not exist

Fix: rare crash in *nix in thread creation code.
Fix: imapbody structure which most clients ignore except a few on osx
Fix: g_spam_allow_rbl - wasn't working properly
Fix: problem with quotas drifiting upwards
Fix: added more error checking to SurgeMail to detect admin mistakes like creating loops with redirect rules or adding domains that are already aliased to other domains etc.
Fix: crash in domain keys code.
Fix: rare admin bug that stopped the admin showing any values for settings.
Fix: If machine A had a unique setting then changes on machine B would cause that setting to be removed from the config on A.
Fix: DNS invalid domain - If a dns lookup failed due to a timeout, then the next lookup for the same domain would fail as if the domain didn't exist instead of with a timeout error.
Fix: Pop proxy bug - When using gateway setting(s) and g_proxy_to_gateways the pop proxy was not being used for users in domains which do not exist in the config file (i.e. all of them)
