LATEST NEWS ON MERCURY/32

Mercury/32 version 4.61 almoste ready for release.

Read all about the many, many new functions, features and fixes in the various Mercury modules on my 4.61 version page.
(Updated: 07-May-2008)

Patch available for Mercury/32 and Mercury/NLM (21-Aug-2007).
  • Patches are now available to correct a potentially severe security weakness in the MercuryS SMTP server. This vulnerability affects the SMTP AUTH command and can result in crashes or, in the worst case, remote execution exploits. In essence, all current versions of Mercury are potentially affected to some extent by this problem.
    Mercury/32 is called 4.52 and Mercury/NLM is version 1.49

  • Download via www.pmail.com.

Version 4.5 in the works (January 2007):

Download area:

MERCURY MTA FOR NOVELL NLM (MERCURY/NLM)

Current version: 1.49

This version can be used for Novell Netware 3.x, 4.x, 5.x and 6.x in Bindery and NDS mode.

Please note:
  • We strongly advise you NOT to use older versions as the integration with NDS might give problems, specifically the 1.44 version.
  • The development for the NLM version has stopped. We strongly advise you to switch to the /32 version. Novell integration in that version is much better and the /32 version is under full development, with anti-spam and new modules like IMAP4 and Web-based subscription for mailing lists.

  • One of the Mercury beta testers has created a utility that might help to convert Mercury/nlm list membership files to the new format used by Mercury/32 starting at version 3.21.
