A new kernel is going to be installed and a reboot of the system is necessary. The output of the installation can be disrupted before the reboot is initialized.
Note: Please wait, until all software packages are installed. The reboot of the system will then be initialized automatically and the server is going to be available after a few minutes.
If an MX record exists for a Collax SMTP server, a valid DNS host name is required for the server. Previously, the host name for the Collax SMTP server was identical to its own FQDN. To enable more flexible settings for the internal infrastructure or for the external SMTP communication, it is now possible to specify an alternative SMTP server name.
This update updates the backup software of the Collax servers to version 5.0.3.
Note: Within a Collax backup server/client environment, all involved server or clients should be updated to the latest version.
As of this update, a grace period of 4 weeks is granted if license limits are exceeded. Previously, it was not possible to activate configurations via the Web administration when the license limit was overstepped. This is now possible within the grace period. The grace period applies exclusively to the permissions in the dialog System -> System Operation -> Software -> Licenses and Modules, thereby facilitating the hardware migration of a server. Information on the remaining grace period is displayed in the Web administration. Overstepping of the runtime is not permitted; the restriction for system updates remains.
Previously, the import of certificates signed by an official CA did not work, as the signature by the official CA changes the value of the subject. This issue has been corrected with this update. Certificates signed by an official CA can now be imported.
The objective of dynamic DNS is to address hosts with dynamic IP addresses over a fixed name. When DynDNS was selected with the connection type DHCP (cable modem), an empty configuration file was generated, and the DynDNS name of the server could not be updated. This issue has been corrected with this update.
Previously, the system directory of the Collax Web access could be accessed without authentication in a browser. The form, CSS, and image directories of the Web access were listed, and it was possible to view the files. As of this update, the Collax Web Server denies read access to this directory.
If the e-mail size limit was changed for outgoing e-mail, this value was not automatically set for the fetchmail process. This has been corrected with this update.
The active monitoring tests the functionality of the email filter chain via the SMTP protocol. If the Kaspersky virus scanner is activated in the filter chain a warning is responded, because the Kaspersky email scanner replies with status code 250 even it is working correctly. The e-mail traffic and the virus scanner function perfectly. Error message: "Disabled SMTP response received from host on port 10029: 250 filters KAV4LMS"
