Information - 31.05.2026

This update enhances the security of the network configuration, renews the quick guides, and updates important components for improved stability and security.

New features

• Encrypted passwords for proxy: Credentials for proxy and SOCKS connections can now be stored encrypted – no longer only for email delivery. Encryption can be enabled separately for each area.
• Revised quick guides: The quick guides (German and English) have been completely recreated, given a clearer layout, and extended with the password encryption. They are shipped as PDF with the installation.

Improvements

• More security: Sensitive passwords no longer need to be stored in plain text in the configuration.
• Updated components: Important libraries have been brought up to date – among others for email delivery and encryption.
• Extended documentation: Manual and quick guides describe the new encryption options step by step.

Technical changes

• Configuration extended: The passwordencryption element is now also available in the proxy and socks sections and can be set there separately to true or false.
• Dependencies updated: Security and stability updates of the components in use.

Important notes

• Existing configuration remains valid: Existing configuration files continue to work unchanged. If passwordencryption is not set, the password is used as plain text as before – an adjustment is only required if you want to enable encryption.
• Restart the service: After the update, restart the Event Mail Notification service once.
• Encrypt passwords: The bundled SMTP Password Encryption tool is available to generate encrypted values (see manual and quick guide).

This release extends Event Mail Notification with new SMTP, test-mail, and event-delivery configuration options, plus update-process and documentation improvements.

New features

• Extended SMTP password mode: The smtppassencryption setting supports both plaintext and encrypted password handling.
• Separated test-mail control: sendtestmailemn (monthly test mail) and sendtestmailsmtp (startup SMTP test mail) can be configured independently.
• Last-event-only mode: With lasteventonly, you can optionally send only the latest matching event per query and run.

Improvements

• More robust configuration handling: Improved fallback behavior for legacy and extended configuration paths (logevent/logid and logevent1..3/logid1..3).
• Stabilized update workflow: Stale-lock detection and additional safeguards in the update process.

This release improves overall reliability of Event Mail Notification and extends license-check and notification behavior.

New features

• Multiple event queries: You can monitor up to three different event queries in parallel.
• Backward compatibility: Existing configurations remain fully supported.
• New license-expiry info mail: If a license has expired, a customer-friendly email including computer name/FQDN and renewal guidance is sent (max. once per day, only if the license had worked before).

Improvements

• More reliable event notifications: Events inside the configured time window are considered again per run.
• More robust license-server handling: In case of connectivity issues, license checks are now retried hourly for up to 24 hours.
• Cleaner service stop behavior: Waiting and background tasks are now canceled more safely.

Technical changes

• License retry behavior revised: Retry interval changed to 1 hour within a 24-hour retry window.
• Daily limit for expiry notice: Introduced a daily marker for license-expiry notification mails.
• Dedup behavior corrected: The temporary RecordId-based deduplication in the active mail path was rolled back.

Important notes

• Restart the service: After the update, restart the Event Mail Notification service once.
• Check configuration: If using multiple event queries, verify logevent1..3/logid1..3 entries.
• Recommended function test: After updating, run a short notification and license-check validation test.

Information - 06.03.2026

This version strengthens the stability and security of mail delivery and improves the internal handling of email addresses in Event Mail Notification.

New features

• This release does not introduce any new visible end-user features. The focus is on internal improvements in the mail subsystem.

Improvements

• More robust sender/recipient handling: Processing of special input in email addresses has been improved to avoid unwanted effects when sending via SMTP.
• More stable mail delivery: Internal adjustments in the mail subsystem increase reliability when delivering notifications, especially in environments with strict SMTP rules.
• General application security: Internal mail and log processing has been consolidated with a focus on error tolerance and security.

Technical changes

• Reworked mail components: The components responsible for constructing and sending emails have been updated and aligned with current security requirements in SMTP environments.
• Improved input validation: The internal handling of string values used for sender and recipient information has been hardened to catch problematic input early.

Important notes

• Restart the service: After the update, the Event Mail Notification service should be restarted once so that all changes in the mail subsystem take effect.
• Recommended function test: After the update, you should send a test notification email to verify the correct configuration of the mail server and sender addresses.
