Dovecot Pro v3

We are very pleased to announce the release of a new version of Dovecot Pro.

Dovecot Pro 3.0 has been created based on customer/operator feedback and the changing requirements of the wider market. Input revealed a fundamental need for an email platform that is distributed by nature, highly available by design, resilient and easy to manage (including things like zero downtime maintenance) in a distributed architecture. In short, a cloud-native email platform.

The main feature of this Dovecot Pro release is its new cloud-native architecture (called the “Palomar” architecture). By becoming cloud-native, Dovecot Pro now provides features that make managing a large-scale, distributed email platform easier, and delivers more flexibility, enhanced security, a better end-user experience, increased efficiency and ultimately significant cost savings.

  • Enhanced High Availability – more levels and more granular
  • Zero Downtime Maintenance
  • Built-in health checking
  • Built-in statistics/monitoring
  • Built-in user/group cluster management
    • Lateral user move/evacuations (no storage access needed)
    • Automated platform load balancing
  • Two-layer stateless network architecture
  • Separation of control plane from data plane
  • Clustering, high availability, metro and geo-redundancy
  • Site-aware architecture
  • Cluster control and administration
  • Multi-site support and administration

Expanded storage support - With this release, we have also expanded our storage support. We can now support Azure and (non-AWS) S3-compatible object storage options. Also, the obox has been optimized for cloud technologies by minimizing the I/O with the storage which could result in significant cost savings.

  • Security Dashboard for Users
    PowerDNS Protect 2.0 comes with a security dashboard that allows users to view reports that show the security status of their network and the connected devices. It informs about blocked attempts to access filtered content, potentially malware-infected devices, and more. Security reports can be viewed over a time period ranging from one to thirty days.
  • Enhanced Notifications and Event Aggregation
    The new version provides a simpler way of displaying, consolidating, and acting on real-time notifications about events such as attempts to visit blacklisted webpages, blocked phishing attacks, and more.
  • Homework Time
    Homework time provides a feature whereby a more restrictive set of filtering rules can be applied during certain times, for example, to support children doing their homework and removing distractions such as messaging apps or video streaming. This can be done on a per-profile basis so different family members can have different homework times and settings.
