ChangeLog

v2.6.0, 2023-12-08

• RESTful API (New in v2.6.0):

  • Able to query global, per-domain and per-mailbox archiving statistics. API Document.

• New features:

  • Notification support (Settings -> Notifications). Spider will now send daily archiving statistics to specified admin(s) from provided SMTP account.
  • Able to view per-domain and per-mailbox archiving statstics (Settings -> Email Domains).

• Improvements:

  • Support parsing email messages forwarded as Microsoft Exchange Journal Report.

    Note: Currently you have to configure Exchange to forward Journal Report to Spider directly, we will improve Spider to support periodly fetching messages from a Journal mailbox for archiving in future release.

  • Removed SQL database /opt/spider/db/participants.db. FTS document contains required info, so this database is not necessary at all.

  • Batch action support on mailbox list page (Settings -> Email Domains -> Mailboxes): Stop Archiving, Start Archiving, Delete (delete mail addresses, not archived messages).

  • Able to import emails in given time range.

    Two arguments are introduced to specify time range, it's ok to use either or both at the same time:

    • --since-time: Import messages since given datetime (in yyyy-mm-dd HH:MM:SS format).
    • --before-time: Import messages before given datetime (in yyyy-mm-dd HH:MM:SS format).

  • Able to exclude IMAP folders while importing with argument --exclude-folder. Multiple folders can be specified with multiple arguments, for example, --exclude-folder AAA --exclude-folder BBB.

  • Stop Archiving doesn't work if email address contains invalid char. Thanks Victor for the feedback.
  • Not auto vacuum database to reduce size. This issue was introduced in v2.5.1.
