System Node

AutoDiscover Service

Auto configuration based on email address and password for XMPP, SIP, SMTP, IMAP, WebDAV URL, ActiveSync, currently works with ActiveSync, Microsoft Outlook, IceWarp Desktop, Notifier.

Dual linked controls to services and service settings (update in one place affects the other).

SOCKS Proxy Service

Removed from its tab, SOCKS Proxy now starts as a real system service, is listed in the services list, has its logging options and offers specific settings such as maximum incoming/outgoing connections (recommended due to common DoS attacks), transfer bandwidth, garbage collector support.

Automated Database Backup

Allows backing up system DB's on a schedule. When deployed together with system backup, mail storage backup, settings backup and backup of optional folders, effectively prevents any data loss whatsoever due to any hardware or other malfunction. With each backup taking place you can define what DB (Accounts, Groupware, Antispam) will be backed up and choose the destination, be it another DB located on a remote server, or even a different RDBMS engine (MySQL -> SQLite, Oracle -> MS SQL). It is not allowed to enter a database currently in use.

System Backup – Backup GroupWare Attachments

New option to backup GroupWare attachments stored in user's mailbox (Backup all user data).

DNS Remote Watchdog

Keeps informed on DNS vulnerability/performance/status tests, by using the current URL feature with syntax: "dns://server:type" e.g.: "dns://icewarp.com:mx", supported query types "a, aaaa, mx, txt, ptr, cname, srv, naptr", sorts the result so the hash is always the same (unlike DNS servers that change the order).

Services Certificates

Services – Require and verify peer certificate option: SSL certificates specific to Service, IP and Port, matched based on the settings, allows to have different verification settings for all IP's and a port and other scenarios. Support for verification and custom CAFile and CAPath in Services - cert.dat. Client certificate can be created from CA Certificate via OpenSSL utility.

SSL Tunnels – Use of Client Certificates

Use of service peer certificate verification requires the connecting client (SSL Tunnel or simply a browser) to have installed a client certificate in order to establish the SSL connection. This allows secure connections to be established only from trusted hosts (client certificate matches a public CA Certificate set in System – Certificates). Applications include verified, highly-secured access to VNC servers, filesystems, or other applications using any protocol.

Enhanced Logging

Filtering of logs works correctly even for extremely long lines. SMTP log contains indication that recipient is whitelisted or blacklisted. Better processing of SMTP logs. New API variable C_System_Log_DNS allows to log all DNS queries and time spent. New API variable C_System_Log_API allows to log all API calls not performed using ActiveX. If no accepted recipient exists in SMTP Summary logging, last argument of RCPT TO is logged. Remote Watchdog logging improved.

SNMP updated

Implements timeticks, OIDs, tested with SNMP-Tools.

SSL Error Logging

SSL initialization errors are written into Error log.

Detailed IMAP Debug Logging

More detailed IMAP debug logs include multi-line responses, filtering of multi-line logs supported, continuation lines of multi-line logs are padded with a space.

System Maintenance Logging

Account Maintenance logs renamed to System Maintenance, now also informs on service start/stop, system settings update, failed login count if login policy is enabled.

Multiple Syslog Servers

Support for multiple syslog servers separated with semi-colon can be configured in System - Logging.

Logging – AnsiString

ANSI string logging ensures that strings are not stripped to 255 characters in logs, the length of log line is unlimited. IM log entry may contain multiple lines.

Service Access Dialog

The dialog in Service - Properties has been enhanced by access list with Add/Delete buttons, allowing to easily add multiple groups, patterns and IP masks to the service firewall.

Start All, Stop All Services

Command line parameters /startall, /stopall and systray menu items Start All, Stop All added to control all services at once. Systray icon hidden from tasks switcher.

DNS Truncation Support

As per RFC 1035 (DNS over TCP), in case of UDP DNS Truncation a TCP DNS query is performed. There are special DNS records which return a truncation flag, in such case the DNS query needs to be done over TCP protocol to the same server. Some servers send a simplified shorter response without the truncation flag but expect the truncation support.

Migration Tool – Resume

Adds ability to resume/recover broken connections, download rest of emails without duplication.

Migration Tool – Passwords Only

New option "Migrate passwords only" does just that, for special purposes or recovery.

Database Migration – Fix UTF-8

Option to fix UTF-8 during migration, facilitates ActiveSync working correctly after upgrade from old versions.
