Changelog This changelog lists every released version of Mail Log, the most recent first. This page is generated automatically from the product's changelog file when a release is made. Changes made by hand are lost at the next synchronisation. Version 1.5.0 – 27 October 2026 Added Pro version: If “Test the connection” cannot find the IMAP folder you entered, it now lists the folders that exist on the server. The target folder for moving is checked as well. Changed Pro version: The options and the manual now explain how to write subfolders for the return channel, for example INBOX.Archive.DMARC. Fixed Pro version: Folders with accented letters in their name can now be used for the return channel. Version 1.4.1 – 23 October 2026 Fixed Pro version: DMARC reports from WEB.DE, GMX and other providers are now recognised instead of ending up among the bounces as auto-replies. Notes Misfiled reports are removed from the bounces during the update. If the mailbox is set to “leave”, the next fetch moves them into the DMARC evaluation. Version 1.4.0 – 4 October 2026 Added Pro version: You can now collect bounces and DMARC reports right on their screens with “Collect now”, without a detour through the options. Pro version: The DMARC evaluation says for every sending server what the proof suggests and is easier to read: ticks and crosses for the proof, a notice while the policy is “none”. Pro version: Bounces, the suppression list and the sending servers of the DMARC evaluation can now be downloaded as CSV – everything the filter shows. Pro version: The dashboard now shows the queue too: how many messages are waiting for another attempt and how many were given up. Changed Pro version: Servers you mark as foreign no longer count towards your DMARC rate. One of your own servers that does not pass shows up as a task. Fixed Pro version: The scheduled fetch now reliably picks up DMARC reports – including ones already marked as read in a mail program, and zip attachments on any server. Notes Pro version: The DMARC rate may differ after the update: it now covers your own sending only. Version 1.3.0 – 24 September 2026 Added Pro version: Mail Log collects the daily DMARC reports from your mailbox and shows who sends in your name and whether that mail could identify itself as yours. Pro version: Outgoing messages can be signed with a DKIM key of your own: generate the key, publish the DNS record, have it verified, switch it on. Fixed The backend menu now shows the proper names right after login. Until now it showed upper-case placeholders until Mail Log had been opened once. The "Export CSV" button in the log list now shows an icon. Notes Pro version: For reports to arrive, the rua=mailto: entry in your DMARC record has to point at the return channel mailbox. Domain health shows the matching suggestion. Version 1.2.0 – 21 September 2026 Added Pro version: Mail Log now fetches the mailbox of your sender address and sorts what comes back: two new screens, a badge in the log list and the undeliverable rate on the dashboard. Pro version: Dead addresses and complaints suppress automatically, which protects the rest of your mail. Messages in the mailbox that are not reports are left untouched. Pro version: Wherever a domain health record can be worked out, the finished value is shown with a copy button; what only your provider knows is marked as a gap. Fixed Small things: the “Options” button is now on every screen, the product name and version at the foot of every screen, and Domain health shows its result when opened first. An SPF record that points elsewhere with redirect= now counts as fine. Until now it was reported as incomplete — and the advice would have switched the redirect off. Notes Pro version: The return channel is switched off by default. Enter server and port, test, save — Mail Log handles credentials, task and interval, and “Collect now” starts it at once. Version 1.1.1 – 20 September 2026 Fixed The "Check now" button on the Domain health screen works again. Until now it broke off with a message about security tokens. So does the "Download EML" button in the toolbar of a log entry. After adding a DKIM selector you now see only the current finding. Until now the old "no selector named" message stayed next to it. Version 1.1.0 – 20 September 2026 Added Mail Log now comes in two versions: the free one and the Pro version. The Free version does everything you know today. Every entry now shows the Message-ID the mail left the mail server under. You can search for it too. Pro version: GDPR information and erasure requests now cover the mail log too — through Joomla's own privacy administration. Pro version: On request a periodic summary arrives by e-mail: how much went out, what failed, and whether anything changed about your sender domain. Pro version: If a send fails, the message goes out over a second account straight away — and if that does not work either, it is retried automatically later. The dashboard now shows a traffic light for SPF, DKIM, DMARC and MX of your sender domain. It tells you whether your mail passes as genuine at all. Pro version: Failed sends can also be reported over a web address — to a chat room, for instance. A message about broken mail rarely arrives by mail. Pro version: Particular messages can be sent over a different outgoing mail server than the rest — newsletters apart from order confirmations, for instance. In the Free version a card on the dashboard and on the queue page advertises the Pro version. The log screens stay free of it. Pro version: Every domain health finding now comes with what to enter in order to fix it. Domain health is on by default and runs once, the first time you open the dashboard. Pro version: Below the credentials of a second send route there is now a "Test the connection" button. It checks what you have just entered, without saving. Domain health has a screen of its own. The dashboard panel now only shows which check is failing. Pro version: There you see, for each check, what is actually in your domain's DNS — and what to change when something is wrong. Changed Domain health now explains, in both versions, what SPF, DKIM, DMARC and MX are actually about. Pro version: Every finding now says in plain words what to do — and a section of its own explains where such a record goes and which three fields to fill in. The two editions are now called Free version and Pro version everywhere — the same names the shop uses. The interface is tidier: the options have seven tabs instead of sixteen, and every screen leads to the other two. The dashboard shows volume for the last 30 days, with domain health beside it instead of below. Pro version: In the Joomla menu under Components the Pro version now reads "Mail Log Pro". Fixed A deleted DKIM selector kept its old finding. Domain health therefore showed DKIM twice. If the outgoing mail server fails completely, the mail now shows up in the log as failed. Until now it was missing entirely. The title of the options screen showed an internal key instead of "Mail Log Options". After an update the browser sometimes still served the old styling until you force-reloaded the page. That no longer happens. The notification about a failed send showed internal abbreviations instead of text. Notes The ID is recorded from the update onwards. Older entries leave the line empty. Pro version: On an erasure request the log entries are removed for good. Check beforehand whether a statutory retention period applies. Pro version: The report is off by default. Switch it on under "Report" in the options and create the "Send report" task in the scheduler. Pro version: Queue and backup route are off by default. Switch them on in the options and create the "Work through the queue" task in the scheduler. The panel runs one check by itself the first time you open it. For a daily check, create the "Check domain health" task in the scheduler. Pro version: The second channel is off by default. Enter the address under "Alerts" in the options. The recipient addresses of the failed message leave your site in the process. Pro version: Send routes are off by default and the only setting with which Mail Log interferes with ordinary sending. Read the manual chapter before switching them on. Pro version: No test mail is sent: the connection is established and the login checked, nothing more. In the Free version the Pro version's settings are shown but locked. Version 1.0.5 – 18 September 2026 Fixed On PHP 8.5 every page showed warnings about outdated functions at the top. They are gone. The links in the overview panel always led to the German manual. They now follow the configured language. Version 1.0.4 – 12 August 2026 Changed The installation details of the three parts were cleared of entries that had no effect, so that the package passes the review of the Joomla! Extensions Directory. Fixed An English message in the overview ended with a superfluous space. Version 1.0.3 – 1 August 2026 Changed The package and its three parts now carry meaningful names in the extension manager; technical abbreviations stood there before. Version 1.0.2 – 31 July 2026 Added Emails from command line and scheduler runs are logged; nothing was captured there before. The option "logged contexts" now actually takes effect. With no selection, every context is still logged. The list points out entries from earlier versions that cannot contain a message text, and links them for deletion. Changed Downloading the raw message now additionally requires the permission "view message text". Groups without it lose the download; super users are not affected. New installations log completely out of the box: full message text, raw message and mails with a sensitive subject as well. Existing installations keep their settings. Fixed The message text of logged emails always stayed empty. It is captured again, as are attachments, reply-to, headers and the error message of failed deliveries. Resending from the log works again — without a stored message text it was not possible. With encrypted storage the masking patterns for sensitive content never took effect. Masking now happens before encrypting. On fresh installations nothing was masked although the options showed two masking patterns as active. The detection of HTML messages now also covers multipart messages and a plain-text alternative that has been set. With a truncated message text stored, the detail view did not show the original size. Saving the options made attachments from versions before 0.1.0 inaccessible because their storage location was lost. The options button appeared for groups without the necessary permission and refused the click. Version 1.0.1 – 31 July 2026 Added After an installation or update an overview panel appears with version, status and entry points to getting started, download key and manual. A click on "Enable updates" leads straight to the update sites, already filtered to missing download keys. The extension manager now shows the list of changes behind the version number. Language The messages shown during installation and update are available in German and English. Version 1.0.0 – 20 July 2026 Added Initial release. Deutsche Fassung
