Download Sambar 5.3 beta 3

Version 5.3 beta 3 of Sambar has been released. This program includes a DHCP, FTP, DNS and mail server to run your own web server. The release notes show the following changes:

Beta 3:

• Added ‘-a’ option to server GUI to display alert log rather than HTTP log.
• Added DNS Block List option to “Spam Check” for real-time filtering.
• Added [unknown-mailboxes] section to mail.ini for configuring unknown mailboxes on a per-domain basis (mailbox = domain1 domain2 domain3…)
• Verified with WS_FTP and IE that full domain users (ie test@domain.com) can now login to the FTP server.
• Fixed security.ini [httpdeny] implementation to immediately disconnect (thanks Steffen!)
• Mapped ‘*’ to ‘@’ in usernames for FTP logins to sidestep IE issues with multiple ‘@’ in URLs.
• Removed all Sambar headers from SMTP/FTP/POP3 servers and added FTP_HELLO to macro.ini for configuring FTP connect message.
• Modified showlog RPCs to escape HTML data for proper browser viewing.
• Modified the search indexer to display all text found after HTML body for the “info” element.
• Added HTACCESS configuration option RedirectSSL to restrict access to SSL-only.
• Make HTTP server optional.
• Added many additional file extensions to the spam filter default list.
• Rewrote the mailing list recipient generator to accommodate aliases and forwards.
• Upgraded SQLite to version 2.7.3
• Added “CGI Run As” configuration parameter (available per-vhost) for specifying the login to use when executing CGI scripts. Format for parameter is username:password:domain
• Added SambarUtils.encrypt() and SambarUtils.decrypt() routines to JavaEngine.
• Fixed mail server bug with open relay problem when Restrict Relay IPs is used (introduced in beta 2).
• Fixed bug in SQL authentication that allowed access if DBMS unaccessible.
• Added [siteredirect] option to security.ini; operates like [hostredirect] but appends the request URL.
