Web Interface
It is a major change, even though there are no significant changes in the "look and feel" of the web interface.
- Now all the communication with mail server is performed via a remoting object, which is hosted in the
mail server.
- It allows to run the mail server and the web interface on separate
computers;
- Eliminates access right problems to directories and databases;
- Web interface no longer requires SQL Server 2005 or SQL Server Express on the
computer where it runs;
- Something you've been asking for very long time!
Now users can send out HTML messages
- Almost entire text that appears in the UI is placed in resource files, allowing
easy localization of string resources;
- When going out, mail is relayd to mail server via SMTP, instead of going directly to outbox. It ensures,
that all server plugins are called, and all server generated headers (including Domain Keys) are properly inserted;
- Server and Domain Group administration temporarily are not available. We will be releasing
new separate web application, which will be doing that. Currently, you still can use old version of
web interface for administering server via web, old and new version can co-exist peacefully;
Mail Server
- Now each account has No SMTP access flag, allowing to have "incoming only" accounts; Works only when
SMTP authentication is enabled;
- Optimized the load of Edit Domain Group box. In earlier versions it was taking long time, because
that calculation of the usage was being performed at the box load. Now calculation will be not perfomed,
unless user clicks Calculate Usage link;
Following changes are related to the major change of the web interface (see above):
- Added remoting object, which is used to communicate with the web interface;
- Added Default Content-Type field to users, allowing them to select in which
initial state is the Compose Mail message body editor: plain text or HTML;
- Now each user can select the name for their Inbox.
Useful when creating localized versions.
