Version 55 (October 18, 2021)
-----------------------------
Mail:
* "SMTPUTF8" is now disabled in Postfix. Because Dovecot still does not
support SMTPUTF8, incoming mail to internationalized addresses was
bouncing. This fixes incoming mail to internationalized domains (which
was probably working prior to v0.40), but it will prevent sending
outbound mail to addresses with internationalized local-parts.
* Upgraded to Roundcube 1.5.
Control panel:
* The control panel menus are now hidden before login, but now
non-admins can log in to access the mail and contacts/calendar
instruction pages.
* The login form now disables browser autocomplete in the two-factor
authentication code field.
* After logging in, the default page is now a fast-loading welcome page
rather than the slow-loading system status checks page.
* The backup retention period option now displays for B2 backup targets.
* The DNSSEC DS record recommendations are cleaned up and now recommend
changing records that use SHA1.
* The Munin monitoring pages no longer require a separate HTTP basic
authentication login and can be used if two-factor authentication is
turned on.
* Control panel logins are now tied to a session backend that allows
true logouts (rather than an encrypted cookie).
* Failed logins no longer directly reveal whether the email address
corresponds to a user account.
* Browser dark mode now inverts the color scheme.
Other:
* Fail2ban's IPv6 support is enabled.
* The mail log tool now doesn't crash if there are email addresess in
log messages with invalid UTF-8 characters.
* Additional nsd.conf files can be placed in /etc/nsd.conf.d.
Port 465 with "implicit" (i.e. always-on) TLS is a more secure approach than port 587 with explicit (i.e. optional and only on with STARTTLS). Although we reject credentials on port 587 without STARTTLS, by that point credentials have already been sent.
* SC2068: Double quote array expansions to avoid re-splitting elements.
* SC2186: tempfile is deprecated. Use mktemp instead.
* SC2124: Assigning an array to a string! Assign as array, or use * instead of @ to concatenate.
* SC2102: Ranges can only match single chars (mentioned due to duplicates).
* SC2005: Useless echo? Instead of 'echo $(cmd)', just use 'cmd'.
-------------------------
Security fixes:
* A security issue was discovered in rsync backups. If you have enabled rsync backups, the file `id_rsa_miab` may have been copied to your backup destination. This file can be used to access your backup destination. If the file was copied to your backup destination, we recommend that you delete the file on your backup destination, delete `/root/.ssh/id_rsa_miab` on your Mail-in-a-Box, then re-run Mail-in-a-Box setup, and re-configure your SSH public key at your backup destination according to the instructions in the Mail-in-a-Box control panel.
* Brute force attack prevention was missing for the managesieve service.
Setup:
* Nextcloud was not upgraded properly after restoring Mail-in-a-Box from a backup from v0.40 or earlier.
Mail:
* Upgraded Roundcube to 1.3.10.
* Fetch an updated whitelist for greylisting on a monthly basis to reduce the number of delayed incoming emails.
Control panel:
* When using secondary DNS, it is now possible to specify a subnet range with the `xfr:` option.
* Fixed an issue when the secondary DNS option is used and the secondary DNS hostname resolves to multiple IP addresses.
* Fix a bug in how a backup configuration error is shown.

@joshdata squashed pull request #1398, removed some comments, and added these notes:
* The old init.d script for the management daemon is replaced with a systemd service.
* A systemd service configuration is added to configure permissions for munin on startup.
* nginx SSL settings are updated because nginx's options and defaults have changed, and we now enable http2.
* Automatic SSHFP record generation is updated to know that 22 is the default SSH daemon port, since it is no longer explicit in sshd_config.
* The dovecot-lucene package is dropped because the Mail-in-a-Box PPA where we built the package has not been updated for Ubuntu 18.04.
* The stock postgrey package is installed instead of the one from our PPA (which we no longer support), which loses the automatic whitelisting of DNSWL.org-whitelisted senders.
* Drop memcached and the status check for memcached, which we used to use with ownCloud long ago but are no longer installing.
* Other minor changes.
The default timeout for Postfix's maximal_queue_lifetime and bounce_queue_lifetime is 5 days. This is way too long if you expect someone to have an answer and after 5 days you'll get the message that it's not delivered. This disrupts communication. It would be more responsive if the user got the 'can't deliver' error after 24 hours.
Modify outgoing_mail_header_filters and mail-postfix.sh
files to result in the primary hostname, and the public
ip of the server showing in the first mail header route
instead of unknown and 127.0.0.1. This could help lower
the spam score of mail sent from your server to some
public mail services.
A lot of legit mail servers try again between 200 and 285 seconds, then
3 hours later. Why? RFC is not strict about retry timer so postfix and
other MTA have their own intervals. To fix the problem of receiving
these e-mail really latter, I reduced the delay of postgrey to
180 seconds (default is 300 seconds).
The submission port began offering SSLv3.
With `encrypt`, the smtpd_tls_protocols option is ignored and smtpd_tls_mandatory_protocols must be set instead.
