you have to do this modular update.

Many system administrators will update some config files to achieve this or that feature, and it's hard to update config file without messing your own settings.

This has been fixed in development edition, and will be available in next release.

Hello Zhang,

do we have expected date for version 1.0 release ?

We need help to test iRedMail-0.9.8 beta releases.

Hello Zhang! I'm running 0.9.8 and one situation that I ran into is that in order for spamhaus in postscreen to work without using a paid account for high volume permission is that any DNS server you use outside of your own local DNS server (must install BIND first) has likely exceeded it's quota of free lookups. The best way around this was to install BIND and in the dns entries in my system put 127.0.0.1 as the top entry. This is the only thing that was missing to make it work as your installation already configures postscreen properly for zen.spamhaus.org and b.barracudacentral.org.

It should be noted to anyone that postscreen is the efficient way to do this versus the reject_rbl_client under smtpd_recipient_restrictions = bl.whatever method that seems to be prevalent on the internet.

Do most people not have this issue with their dns servers? Should BIND be setup and 127.0.0.1 added to the resolver by default? Keeping the public dns servers below it prevents other problems so it seems to be working well.

This is true however since my email server is at a datacenter  and their dns servers are limited, there is no isp dns servers so I use Google's DNS servers. When Spamhaus is queried this way, I could easily be the millionth person that day that tried querying spamhaus via google's dns. It is also well known that many isp's dns servers are in the same situation on a possibly smaller scale so Spamhaus recommends using your own dns server as I did with bind.

I'm just mentioning this because many iRedmail users are likely not getting the benefits of zen.spamhaus.org which is the best I have used for my needs. I was able to delete my entire blacklist and I get at best a few spam's a day. Looking at the mail logs, the majority of the traffic is attempted spam that spamhaus catches and to a good extent, barracuda as well. To reiterate, Spamhaus is very touchy about which dns you use on your server to query them since you aren't the only one who queries them with well used dns servers.

Is installing bind by default something you would consider or would it benefit few people?
