Hello everyone,

v11.15.1 has been released!

Download and install:

https://dadamailproject.com/d/install_dada_mail.pod.html

This release includes a few bug fixes dealing with potential security issues. The biggest one is the reCAPTCHA v2 problem - it’s very easy to circumvent its protection completely, so if you’re relying on reCAPTCHA v2, upgrade.

Changelog (and below):

Focus

This is a bugfix release, with changes to close up some potential security holes. It's an update we'd suggest for everyone. Most especially for people who are relying on Google reCAPTCHA v2 to protect their subscription forms. We've found that there is a way to circumvent the reCAPTCHA rendering it ineffective. There was also a bug found in the reCAPTHA v3 implementation, so we don't suggest simply switching to v3. More informaton can be found in these two issues:
