Apple reposts Mac OS X Server 10.6.5 update, adds mail fix
Apple has posted an updated build of Snow Leopard Server Mac OS X 10.6.5, fixing an issue where users were receiving mail intended for others.
Apple released Mac OS X Server 10.6.5 build 10H575 late Monday, after having quietly pulled the previous build, 10H574. Mac OS X Server 10.6.5 was originally released last Wednesday alongside Mac OS X 10.6.5, but users quickly reported issues with the update.
According to Apple, the updated version fixes a flaw where "a user may receive mail intended for other users."
"A memory aliasing issue in Dovecot's handling of user names exists in Mac OS X Server v10.6.5 (10H574). On systems configured with Dovecot as a mail server, a user may receive mail that was intended for other users. This issue is addressed through improved memory management. Dovecot is only provided with Mac OS X Server systems. This issue only affects systems running Mac OS X Server v10.6.5 (10H574). This issue does not affect the Dovecot open source project," reads an article on the security content of the update.
Users who installed the earlier build are advised to update to Monday's updated build. "If you installed Mac OS X Server v10.6.5 (build 10H574), released on November 10, 2010, you should reinstall the Mac OS X Server v10.6.5 Update," wrote Apple in an article on its Support website.
The 858.02MB download is available from the Apple Download site or through Software Update.
The full list of general fixes and improvements in Mac OS X Server 10.6.5, according to Apple, includes:
name queries in Web Calendar match against first name, last name and email attributesÂ*
improved setup of Podcast Producer service when bound to an Active Directory server
preventing Podcast Capture from always storing passwords in keychain
reliability of Web Podcast Capture
stopping Podcast Producer recordings with remote cameras
reliability of connections between Podcast Producer server with remote cameras

synchronization of audio and video output from Podcast Producer workflows which include intro videos or titling or transitions
use of "-" character in specifying DHCP Subnets with Server Admin
improved Wiki Server connection latency
use of "/" character with Wiki Server mailing lists
configuration of iChat Server when changing host names using changeip
preventing automatic changes to a ".local" domain in iChat Server configuration due to DNS unresponsiveness
importing of iChat accounts with Managed Preferences
preventing network homes being used after mobile accounts enabled
corrections to the iCal Preference Manifest
viewing of IPP print queues with Workgroup Manager
reliability of External Accounts with FAT32 file systems
reliability of applying Managed Preferences to Macs that have been idle
allowing administrators to bypass Managed Preferences at login
improper removal of older updates by Software Update Server

You didn't look very hard. If you use "apple software updates" as the search parameters at Google (and perhaps other search engines), you will find yourself here:
http://support.apple.com/downloads/
Clearly it's time for you to brush up on your Internet search skills.
How many times has Apple switched mail servers in Mac OS X Server?
Dovecot must be mail server flavor of the month.
The list from Dovecot most assuredly sheds light on the reason:

Clearly everyone's not as amazingly proficient as you. Clearly.
Thanks.

I'm not asking people to perform brain surgery or rocket science.
The guy didn't even bother Searching The Fine Web. It's not about me being proficient. It's about that person being utterly lazy.
And I will point out that I actually spoon fed the person the answer. You, on the other hand, provided nothing that has long-term pedagogical value.
...And I will point out that I actually spoon fed the person the answer...
Very kind of you giving them the answer after insulting them. You are truly a scholar and a gentleman. A tip of my hat to you good sir.
