We’re very pleased to announce that the latest @Mail release, version 5.07, is now available.
Development on the PHP 5.x branch of @Mail is proceeding nicely. This version includes over 20 changes, with bugfixes and improvements addressing the most crucial issues discovered in the weeks since 5.06.
We’d like to thank our clients for working closely with us to provide their feedback. The quality of each @Mail release is improving significantly, and the overall direction is being guided by the feedback of our clients. See the changelog for a list of changes since 5.06.
Highlights of this release:
- Fixed support for UTF8 attachments in Japanese - #358
- Translated the Portuguese language pack to the latest version
- Improved migrate-imap scripts to detect message flag status on importing mail
- Updated SQL queries to be compatible if the mysql-server has strict_tables_trans set
- Updated the Videomail feature to use the PHP server-scripts

With the recent torrent of PDF spam, we created a module for SpamAssassin that allows for the scanning of PDF files. The module, linked below this post, works in the following way:
- Email bodies are scanned upon connection, and checked for PDF attachments.
- Text is extracted from the PDF via pdftotext, and scanned by SpamAssassin.
- Should the PDF contain images, the gocr binary is called to extract the text content.
- The total spam score of the PDF is compared against the global required_score setting; if it’s higher, a score equal to the one specified in pdf.cf (default of 10) is appended to the overall score of the email message.
This approach is a departure from the usual method as it scans the content against the SpamAssassin engine, instead of using a word list filter.
Should you need to install the module, download it from: http://atmail.com/kb/attach/PDFassassin.tgz
Installation directions can be found in the README file inside the archive.

A new OEM version of @Mail is now available for value-added resellers.
The new program is available for a company to bundle the @Mail Webmail interface, or the mail-server backend with their own hardware appliance or software product.
The OEM program is tailored towards vendors who offer security-products, spam-appliances, or software packages that require an improved Webmail platform, or Mail-server system.
Many vendors are bundling Webmail products with their hardware or software offerings that offer no advantages over the competition, or reusing a common open-source project that has a poor user-interface, feature lacking, and adds no further value to the end product. @Mail can be used to improve your product offering, save development resources by maintaining your own custom solution, and leverage on a solid and proven product.
The OEM license of @Mail is available to integrate immediately and can be used to further refresh your product-line with a high quality Webmail interface or stable mail-server backend.
For details see: http://atmail.com/reseller_app.php and signup to the program to request further pricing information.
The latest @Mail release, version 5.06 is now available after one month of development from the previous release. View the changelog for a complete list of changes in 5.05
The patch is recommended for all existing PHP 5.X users to install and upgrade. This release includes approximately 45 changes, ranging from client feedback, new “skinable” CSS for the ajax interface, Live SVG graph reports via Webadmin, improved Webmail templates, bug-fixes and various optimizations to the source-code and backend functions.
The development team of @Mail’s goal is to continue working to refine the current 5.X release in PHP, and by Aug/Sept begin merging new features into the PHP version of @Mail. In the meantime existing clients can install the latest patch by following the guide at:
