MailVault v5.3 released

MailVault v5.3.0 is available.

This release contains:

  • AD and LDAP enhancements to import users from Distribution Lists
  • Automatic additional email address mapping to users imported from Distribution Lists
  • Re-introduced Forward as original email (depends on mail server)
  • Minor indexing enhancements
  • Miscellaneous security enhancements
  • Other minor fixes and enhancements

Bulk user import into MailVault from Active Directory and LDAP has been enhanced to support users and email addresses from Distribution Lists.

Based on a number of client requests, we have re-introduced the “Forward as original” option for email, with the caveat that the success of this functionality strongly depends on the client’s mail server through which the mail is relayed.

A number of other enhancements including some security improvements are also included in this release.

You can manually upgrade your MailVault installation by going to:

MailVault v5.2.1 released

MailVault v5.2.1 is available.

Hi folks, this was a little earlier than we expected.

It appears that while updating to v5.2.0 some GWS users may face a temporary configuration issue, which could be manually corrected. This release fixes that and we do apologize for any inconvenience caused.

You can read more about the v5.2.0 release here.

An important note for our users:

  • We’ve extended support for 32-bit systems to the v5.2.x series.
  • However, we strongly recommend that users deploy MailVault on 64-bit systems.

MailVault v5.2 released (with multiple goodies!)

MailVault v5.2.0 is available.

This release contains multiple assorted goodies:

  • Support for Google Workspace IMAP and SMTP over OAuth 2.0
  • Support for Microsoft 365 IMAP and SMTP over OAuth 2.0
  • Remote authentication and user import endpoints now available separately in Settings
  • The Quickstart UI is now simpler and quicker
  • Improved resource utilization for some internal services
  • Significant speed up in Cloud Storage
  • Enhancements in audit and logging
  • Optionally restrict the reuse of previous passwords
  • Fixes for a couple of cloud storage providers
  • Fixes for bulk user import from CSV, LDAP and M365
  • Other minor fixes and enhancements

Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 no longer allow ‘simple’ authentication for IMAP or SMTP access. Well, no fear, we’ve added OAuth 2.0 support for these functionalities.

Usability improvements include the following: Remote-authentication and user-import endpoints now have their own independent little spaces in Settings. Besides the flexibility, this makes things clearer and easier to use. Additionally, the Quickstart UI has gotten even simpler, so you can get started really quick!

Some internal services have been fine-tuned, so we can now do more, with less. Some external services like Cloud Storage have gotten a significant overhaul, so if you have the bandwidth, you could see a serious speed up.

From a security policy point of view, organizations can now optionally restrict the reuse of previous passwords.

An important note for our users:

  • We’ve extended support for 32-bit systems to the v5.2.x series.
  • However, we strongly recommend that users deploy MailVault on 64-bit systems.

Filter between Active and Suspended users (GWS & M365); optionally disable older versions of TLS and other stuff

MailVault v5.0.6 is available.

This release contains:

  • Segregate between active and suspended users for Google Workspace & Microsoft 365
  • Email accounts in GWS and M365 mail sources made much more responsive
  • Ability to disable older versions of TLS, to enforce greater security
  • Improved validation for SSL certificates
  • Internal enhancements in the cloud storage sub-system
  • Other minor fixes and enhancements

For companies using Google Workspace and Microsoft 365, the ability to filter between active and suspended users makes it convenient to segregate users as needed. Additionally, we have enhanced the email account management in the GWS and M365 mail sources, so even if you are working with thousands of users, MailVault will offer you an extremely responsive user experience.

For maximum operability, MailVault supports multiple versions of the Transport Layer Security protocol. However, some of our customers have security policies that prohibit the use of older versions of TLS. With this release, the admin can turn-off older versions of TLS if needed, thus enhancing security.

When SSL certificates are used with MailVault, the validation process is now friendlier and easier.

The cloud storage sub-system has some internal working improvements.

A few other minor fixes and enhancements complete this release.
