Dear piler users,
new year, new release. I've just released version 1.3.10. The release
notes document has 3 items:
- switching from Blowfish to AES-256
- obsoleted the tcp_wrappers with a postscreen style smtp acl list, see
my previous email and
https://www.mailpiler.org/wiki/current:smtp-acl-list
- added the security header feature
I've already covered the first two items. The security header is an
optional feature allowing
you to specify a security header in piler.conf, eg.
security_header=X-My-Security-Header: aaaaa
Then if the first email header in the given message doesn't contain the
header configured above,
then the message is discarded by the piler daemon. Note that the
pilerimport utility disables
this feature, so you can safely import legacy emails not having such
extra header line.
By default this feature is disabled. It's primary purpose is to provide
a security mechanism
against unwanted email in the archive if limiting smtp clients via an
IP-address list is not feasible.

There's even more, a docker image: sutoj/piler:1.3.10
Also, I've started to write a(n archiving related) blog, see
https://mailpiler.com/blog/
Let me know if there's a topic you are interested in. For starters let
me suggest two articles.
How to get an automatically renewing A-grade Let's Encrypt certificate
with the traefik edge router:

How to run piler in a container using docker-compose:
https://mailpiler.com/running-piler-enterprise-in-a-containerized-environment-with-docker-compose/
The latter article focuses on the commercial edition, however with a
little tweak you can use it
to run the docker image built with the open source edition.
I wish all of you a happy new year, stay safe!
