## Upgrade notes

When upgrading please review these notes for the versions you are upgrading *from*.

### v0.84 or below

*CHECK\_RELAY, CHECK\_NORELAY, RELAY\_ONLY*

All 3 plugins are deprecated and replaced with a new 'relay' plugin. The new plugin reads the same config files (see 'perldoc plugins/relay') as the previous plugins. To get the equivalent functionality of enabling 'relay\_only', use the 'only' argument to the relay plugin as documented in the RELAY ONLY section of plugins/relay.

*GREYLISTING plugin*

'mode' config argument is deprecated. Use reject and reject\_type instead.

The greylisting DB format has changed to accommodate IPv6 addresses. (The DB key has colon ':' seperated fields, and IPv6 addresses are colon delimited). The new format converts the IPs into integers. There is a new config option named 'upgrade' that when enabled, updates all the records in your DB to the new format. Simply add 'upgrade 1' to the plugin entry in config/plugins, start up qpsmtpd once, make one connection. A log entry will be made, telling how many records were upgraded. Remove the upgrade option from your config.

*SPF plugin*

spf\_deny setting deprecated. Use reject N setting instead, which provides administrators with more granular control over SPF. For backward compatibility, a spf\_deny setting of 1 is mapped to 'reject 3' and a 'spf\_deny 2' is mapped to 'reject 4'.

*P0F plugin*

defaults to p0f v3 (was v2).

Upgrade p0f to version 3 or add 'version 2' to your p0f line in config/plugins. perldoc plugins/ident/p0f for more details.
