Release notes

master / unreleased

  • NixOS 20.03 is not supported anymore. Please use NixOS 20.09 or NixOS Unstable or downgrade to the latest SNM release.
  • IMAP and Submission with TLS wrapped-mode are now enabled by default on ports 993 and 465 respectively.

nixos-20.03

  • Rspamd is upgraded to 2.0 which deprecates the SQLite Bayes backend. We then moved to the Redis backend (the default since Rspamd 2.0). If you don't want to relearn the Redis backend from the scratch, we could manually run

    rspamadm statconvert --spam-db /var/lib/rspamd/bayes.spam.sqlite --ham-db /var/lib/rspamd/bayes.ham.sqlite -h 127.0.0.1:6379 --symbol-ham BAYES_HAM --symbol-spam BAYES_SPAM
    

    See the Rspamd migration notes and this SNM Merge Request for details.
