Vortex
11.0.0 Core + Appcd 3.0.0
LATEST
Please note: We recommend updating appcd on each server before applying the core update from your Enhance dashboard. To do this, run apt update && apt install appcd as root.
26th June 2024
Changed
Re-engineered email platform.
All email responsibility is now handled by appcd rather than the 3 separate mtacd, imapcd and spamcd containers for greater speed, reliability and configurability.
All mailboxes now belong to the website user. Hard disk quotas configured at a website level will apply to the emails when the application role and email role are placed on the same server.
Your email data will be automatically migrated to the new structure during the update to this version.
One server will be migrated at a time. Email services will continue to function whilst the update is pending.
Please check your backups before applying this update.
If you experience any unexpected issues, please raise a support ticket.
Website generated emails are now sent from the local MTA rather than being forwarded to the assigned email server for the website. This does not require the email role to be installed on the web server. If you have a global smart host configured, this will be applied automatically to all web servers where the email role is not installed.
Added
Outbound rate limiting for website generated emails.
Outbound rate limiting for SMTP messages.
Outbound spam scanning, will reject spam messages at SMTP time.
Global IP whitelist for internal email servers.
Ability to persistently edit most email server config.
Smart host credentials are now optional.
Sender rewriting for forwarded messages.
Enhanced
Revised method for streaming mailbox backups to S3, does not require an intermediate tar.gz to be created.
Reduced memory usage for filerd file management service.
Obsolete S3 backup restore points are automatically removed after the S3 configuration is removed.
ServerHostname websites now have only the application role placed.
Improvements to internal locking strategy in appcd for improved efficiency and performance.
Document root permissions and ownerships are now checked after every server role migration.
PAM module for entering customer/website containers has been improved.
Fixes to whitelist/blacklist email functionality.
