Ironmailer is now made available as a "unzip and run" package. Simply execute the webmail.sh and access the Webmail interface on port 8890. The download area is:
http://download.savannah.nongnu.org/releases/ironmailer/?C=M;O=D
Furthermore, all third-party libraries were upgraded to recent versions.
Subfolder handling was modified to be compatible with various other mail programs; meaning that for example users who set up their mailbox folders in Evolution will see all these folders in IronMailer.
Check out the current CVS state if you require this feature.
I noticed that, if a folder contains certain japanese spam mails, the application blocks for several minutes. I traced this down to a bug in java.lang.String, which existed in the version I was running (1.4.2_02), but no longer exists in 1.4.2_06. If you have a similar problem, upgrade your Java installation !
The site http://ironmailer.org (which contains additional information about Ironmailer) is back online. (The offline time was due to provider problems.)
the latest development release for IronMailer 0.8.3 has several new goodies especially for administrators: most notably, support for imaps.
All configuration is now handled through a single XML file, called ironmailer.xconf.
Go get it within the Files area of Savannah !
