Jamm / News: Recent posts

Chris Holleman has written a supplement to the Jamm HOWTO that talks about adding TLS and SASL support. This has been added to the web page.

It is suggested that all users update to 0.9.6. Performance fixes, as well as ldap connection leaks, that affected large sites have been fixed.

* The much requested Common Name support!

* Exceptions no longer bubble up to the user. They are trapped and sent to an appropriate error page. Not all the error pages are very robust or nice looking yet.

* jammCleaner will not recurse into symlinks and recusively delete. (Fix for people using courier's shared folders.)

* Some basic access control to keep users off pages they shouldn't be at.... read more

* Schema changes - perl script to help update.

* jammCleaner will not archive an accounts data in a zip file before nuking
the account from the file system. Also, verbosity fixes.

* Various spelling fixes

* Updated to struts 1.1-b3 and commons-cli 1.0

Jamm (Java Mail Manager) is a web application to manage virtual email account information stored in an LDAP directory. It is meant as an administration tool for sites using mail servers, such as Postfix and Courier-IMAP.

If you're running a pre-0.9.2 version, it is recommended that you upgrade due to a possible race condition in two of the actions.

Changes:
* Schema bug fixed
* Password changes can be done by jamm or by the ldap server
* Possible race condition/concurrency bug fixed
