History / Third Party Binaries

The headers of the four copies whose documents were the same at batch54 as at an earlier copy - the Command Line, Secure Defaults, The Update Feed and Third-Party Binaries - say that batch55, 36bd59faa, changes the document in the places they list, the list following the link to 36bd59faa, and say in a sentence of their own after it that the document was the same at batch54, 9336fdd59, as at the commit or the tag each copy was last made from, 0c0b6bae7, the tag v6.3.7, 5e49abf06 and 6fb8164c6, where the clause saying so stood between the link and the list, so that the list read as that commit's or that tag's changes. Secure Defaults' header says that the copied sentence of The certificate, a host added to AcmeDomains later issued for at once, is so from the release after 6.3.7, and that up to 6.3.7 a host added waits until the certificate in use is due for renewal, as Encryption and Certificates says under When it renews, where it gave the sentence no release; the copied text is the document's, unchanged. Third-Party Binaries' header says that the document's opening named the icon library with its archive, the documents' images and the OpenPGP fixtures alone, where it left the images out. Headers only: no copied text changes. Signed-off-by: Christopher Holloway <chris.holloway@progressiverobot.com>

The eight copies whose documents batch55 changes - the Assurance Case, the Command Line, Contributing, the Release Process, Secure Defaults, the Security Policy, The Update Feed and Third-Party Binaries - are copied again from the documents as master has them from batch55, 36bd59faa, on master since 26 October 2026, and each header says so and names what changed. The Security Policy's Verifying a release says that the release's SLSA provenance names every file of the release but the Sigstore bundles, how the commit, the tag and the pipeline its statement names are compared with those its signing certificate records, which from the release after 6.3.7 the release pipeline holds before it publishes, and, under SLSA Build level, that the releases from 6.3.6 meet Build L1 of SLSA v1.0 and claim no higher level, with why L2 and L3 are not met; For a security questionnaire names SECURITY-INSIGHTS.yml; and Renovate opens its merge request for an advisory at its next run, for a NuGet package with a fixed release, where it said at once for any dependency. Contributing says, under Code style and licence headers, that a file of the original hMailServer's whose own file in the original carried Martin Knafve's copyright notice keeps it on the line below the header, and that every file of the tree has its copyright and its licence as the REUSE Specification 3.3 asks, by its header or a table of REUSE.toml, with every licence's text in LICENSES/ and the reuse job holding it, which The checkers, the tables of the checkers and generators and Governance, conduct and licence name too. Secure Defaults says that a host added to AcmeDomains later is issued for at once, and that from the release after 6.3.7 the Compose file and the Helm chart secure a new installation's database at its first start, which the charts of 6.3.6 and 6.3.7 do not. The Command Line has the new passage on trusting a server's self-signed certificate on the machine you administer from; the Release Process's step 3 of The release on GitLab has release wait for the AArch64 packages' start jobs and linux-image-arm64, and its step 6 has container-image-start ask whether the update check knows it runs in a container; the Assurance Case's residual risk on coverage gives the linux-coverage job's weekly schedule and its first run on GitLab, where it said that the schedule had yet to be created; The Update Feed says that a server from 6.2.28 to 6.3.3 is offered only the newest release and so reaches neither it nor 6.3.3 by the live update, where it said that a 6.3.3 server found itself up to date and that one on 6.2.28 could go to 6.3.3 that way; and Third-Party Binaries says what the tree still carries that git shows as binary, and that the SQL Server Compact headers are 4.0's. A link of the copied text to a document the wiki copies is a wiki link, and every other link to a repository file points at it as 36bd59faa has it, where they pointed at 9336fdd59 or, in the Command Line, The Update Feed and Third-Party Binaries, at 0c0b6bae7, 5e49abf06 and 6fb8164c6 and, in Secure Defaults, at the tag v6.3.7, each document being the same at those commits as at 9336fdd59; the text is otherwise the documents', but for the adaptations and additions the headers declare.

The four copies whose documents batch53 changes - Contributing, the Release Process, Third-Party Binaries and the Upgrading Guide - are copied again from the documents as master has them from batch53, 6fb8164c6, on master since 22 October 2026, and each header says so and names what changed. Contributing's table of the Python checkers says that check-installer-scripts.py also checks that setup refuses an installation of the original hMailServer's 5.7 first, by bounds the upgrade chain in DBScripts holds, and that the Windows package jobs run that decision's self-test before they build the installer, and it has check-package-texts.py, which holds every package text the tree ships to saying that it is Progressive Robot's fork of hMailServer, the long descriptions and the Chocolatey and winget copyright and authors among them to crediting the original's author, Martin Knafve, and the packages' maintainer to being the project's. The Release Process's step 6 of The release on GitLab says that container-image-start starts the image beside PostgreSQL and beside MariaDB and asks each for SMTP and the REST API, where it said beside PostgreSQL alone, and its note marked Now under step 13, this wiki's own, says that a moderator returned the Chocolatey package of 20 October 2026 on 21 October, asking that its authors also credit Martin Knafve, and that chocolatey-publish sent 6.3.7 again on 22 October 2026, still without that credit, as PackageManagers.md says, where it said that the package of 20 October waited for moderation. Third-Party Binaries names libmariadb3, MariaDB Connector/C, with the mariadb-common and mysql-common it brings, among the packages the container image installs from the archive, from the release after 6.3.7. The Upgrading Guide's Where you can upgrade from says what setup up to 6.3.7 did over an installation of the original's 5.7 - replaced the program files and left a database this server refuses as too old, or, over one that the original's 5.7.0 build 3013 or later made new, set up a new, empty database beside the original's - and that from the release after 6.3.7 the installer refuses one before it changes anything, the installers of 6.3.7 and earlier not looking, so that they must not be run over one, with how setup decides and what the refusal says and where, where it said only that setup ran DBUpdater after it had replaced the program files and not to run this fork's installer over one; the list under If the upgrade fails of what else the installer refuses, this wiki's own, has that refusal as a third point, where it had two. A link of the copied text to a document the wiki copies is a wiki link, and every other link to a repository file points at it as 6fb8164c6 has it, where they pointed at 72be22b4e or, in Third-Party Binaries, at 5e49abf06; the text is otherwise the documents', but for the adaptations and additions the headers declare.

Upgrading hMailServer, the Upgrading Guide and the Security Policy say that the original hMailServer's 5.7 builds of August and September 2026 are not on this fork's upgrade chain, and two headers of the copies brought to batch51 name the sections their documents changed: the original went on from schema 5708 by steps of its own - 5709, 5710 and 5711 - which the chain from 5708 to 6001 does not have, so DBUpdater stops before it changes anything after setup has replaced the program files, and the server then refuses the database as too old. Upgrading hMailServer's 18.2 says the chain is continuous from every earlier release of this fork and of the original up to 5.6, where it said from every earlier hMailServer release, says after its flowchart what to do with a 5.7 build - set this server up beside it and move the mail over IMAP (Migration) - and its table's row for 5.6 / 5.7 is 5.6's, with rows for the original's 5.7 development builds (up to 5708, upgraded as 5.6 is) and for its 5.7 builds of August and September 2026 (5709 to 5711, not the installer), where a row for the original hMailServer of any version called this fork a drop-in successor. The Upgrading Guide's paragraph on the original's databases and the Security Policy's sentence on the chain are what the next batch's Upgrading.md and SECURITY.md say, ahead of the documents on master, and each header says so. Third-Party Binaries' header names the section What checks it, where it named Deleted on 11 September 2026, and The Update Feed's names What a server built after 6.3.3 checks and its item The GitHub signer is held to the past, where it named Having the live update make that upgrade anyway: the one passage batch51 changed in ThirdPartyBinaries.md and the first of the two in UpdateFeed.md are there.

The ten copies whose documents batch51 changes - the Assurance Case, Contributing, Governance, the Release Process, the Security Policy, Regulatory Scope, Relocating an Installation, The Service Account, Third-Party Binaries and The Update Feed - are copied again from the documents as master has them from batch51, 5e49abf06 (21 October 2026), and each header says so and what the document changes, where they were the documents at batch50, 0c0b6bae7, or at batch49, f14412d39, which batch50 left as they were. Relocating an Installation: a new paragraph after the opening sends an installation whose programs somebody who is not an administrator may have changed to The Service Account's Reinstalling into a new folder; step 0 converts full message paths with the Data Directory Synchronizer on the installation before anything is copied, a row that names a file outside the data directory first, in the folder it names, in five numbered points, where step 8 ran the synchronizer against the new data directory after the copy, which would have imported each such message a second time, and step 8 checks that none is left and converts one that is the same way in the old data folder; step 3 makes the new root with the permissions setup gives a program folder before the copy, since a copy takes the permissions of the folder it lands in; step 4 says that the server reads Bin\hMailServer.ini under the folder the registry's InstallLocation names, so the edited copy only from step 5 on, where it said the file beside the running hMailServer.exe was read first, and, with step 1, that an edit of a stored setting in the file is put back only where the service may write the file; step 6 runs hMailServer.exe /ProtectFolders after /Register, and /GrantServiceAccess for a service that runs as anything but LocalSystem; step 7 names the Diagnostics page's Installation paths, where it named Settings, Directories; step 9 changes a certificate's files with Edit... rather than deleting it and adding it again; step 11 runs the release's setup again at the new root with /DIR, the 32-bit uninstall entry taken away first, and never the old uninstaller; and step 12 keeps the old tree private until it is deleted by hand. Three sentences of this wiki's own additions there say what the document now says: the passage that ends step 4 has a value edited into the file reported as HM5804 and the stored value used, the line put back where the service may write the file, so that the settings-store paths go on pointing at the old tree, and the store writing a new value into the file's copy where the service may write the file, where it had the line put back and the copy written whatever the account; and the paragraph on moving to new hardware has the stored settings written into the new machine's file at its first start where the service may write it. The Security Policy: Build provenance says that from the release after 6.3.7 a release also carries hmailserver-<version>.intoto.jsonl, the provenance bundle's DSSE envelope alone as one line of JSON, no second signature, which OpenSSF Scorecard's Signed-Releases check counts as provenance, where it said the provenance was not copied under that name; and What ran on GitHub has CodeQL there from GitHub's default setup at first and then .github/workflows/codeql.yml. The Release Process: release-verify writes the .intoto.jsonl and holds it to the bundle, the release has 161 links and files where it had 160, release-publish refuses an .intoto.jsonl that is not the envelope, the copy on GitHub carries it, the rehearsal writes and checks it, and GitHub Actions runs two workflows there, which make nothing a release carries; its note marked Now under step 9 of Order of operations stays. The Update Feed: a release from the one after 6.3.7 has 161 links, the .intoto.jsonl adding 308 bytes to releases.json and 302 to releases/latest. The Service Account: Reinstalling into a new folder points at Relocating an Installation for an installation whose programs only the administrators could have changed, and its table of the writes to hMailServer.INI says that the application log's line on the read-only file is written at a reinitialise where application logging is on and dropped at the service's start, where it said once per start. Contributing lists .github/CODEOWNERS and build/check-osv-ignores.py. The Assurance Case, Contributing, Governance, the Release Process, Regulatory Scope, Third-Party Binaries and The Update Feed say that GitHub Actions runs two workflows of the project's on the copy on GitHub, OpenSSF Scorecard's and .github/workflows/codeql.yml, which takes the place of GitHub's CodeQL default setup, where they said one workflow and the default setup; Governance also says that GitHub's rules there let the administrator role alone write master, the batch* branches and the release tags and hold a pull request to two approvals, the code owner's among them, and to CodeQL's check. A link of the copied text to a document the wiki copies is a wiki link, and every other link to a repository file points at it as 5e49abf06 has it, where they pointed at 0c0b6bae7 or at f14412d39; the text is otherwise the document's, but for the adaptations and additions the headers declare.

The eight copies whose documents batch49 changes - the Assurance Case, Contributing, Governance, Regulatory Scope, Release Process, Security Policy, The Update Feed and Third-Party Binaries - are copied again from the documents as master has them from batch49, f14412d39, in which 6.3.7 is reflected as at the tag, and each header says so and what the document changes since the tag, where they were the documents at v6.3.7 and said that GitHub had been unavailable to the project since 18 September 2026, that issues and questions went to GitLab alone and that the original project was no longer developed upstream. The Assurance Case's status note: the account Progressiverobot, which GitHub suspended on 18 September 2026, stays suspended, and since 18 October 2026 the project is published on GitHub again, at github.com/RainbowWizard-coder/hMailServer, with GitLab canonical; every release from 6.0.0-B1 to 6.3.7 is copied there with the same files byte for byte; no pipeline of the project's runs there, where GitHub Actions runs one workflow of the project's, scorecard.yml, beside GitHub's own CodeQL default setup; and sbom.yml and sign-release.yml, in the trees of the old tags, ran once there on 18 October 2026 on the copies of the releases from 6.2.3 to 6.2.22-pre6, what they wrote was undone, and both have been disabled since. Contributing: the original project went quiet for years and has since resumed development separately; GitLab is the one place the project is worked on and GitHub its mirror, with the repository, every release, the wiki's copy, pull requests and Discussions and no Issues; the table of where things are, the tree's .github/, the GitHub numbering, the rule that no build step downloads from GitHub, and a pull request on GitHub accepted and landed through a GitLab merge request. Governance: the status note, the private vulnerability reporting switched on and read by the maintainers, the repository on GitHub belonging to the account RainbowWizard-coder, its only administrator, Zainulabidin90 removed from it on 18 October 2026, and accepting, reviewing and proposing a change taking in a pull request on GitHub. Regulatory Scope: the releases copied to GitHub, GitHub's own CodeQL default setup there and the one workflow of the project's that GitHub Actions runs there, OpenSSF Scorecard's, which signs and publishes nothing of a release, the old release workflows run once there and disabled, and the one signer a server up to 6.3.3 trusts named as the release workflow of the repository under the former account Progressiverobot. Third-Party Binaries: the build-inputs files fetched from GitLab alone, both releases copied to GitHub with the others and never read there, and nothing on GitHub doing what the old binary-provenance workflow did. Release Process: GitHub unavailable to the project from 18 September to 18 October 2026; The copy on GitHub, under The release on GitLab; step 9's sentence on CodeQL's default setup, which the gate does not read; step 14's issues answered on GitLab; and the federated credential made on the app registration the protected variable AZURE_CLIENT_ID names. Security Policy: GitHub's private vulnerability reporting as a third route, and never a public issue, merge request or pull request on either forge or a GitHub discussion; a report made there carried into a confidential GitLab issue; the exceptions file counted again on 18 October 2026, 491 accepted findings, 157 expiring on 25 September 2027 and 3 on 12 October 2027, and in Why that date 159 and 42; and Verifying a release for a file from GitHub's releases page. The Update Feed: no server reads a feed on GitHub, the address 6.2.28 to 6.3.3 read is the suspended account's and still answers 404, and a certificate for a workflow of the repository on GitHub names an identity no server trusts. A link of the copied text to a document the wiki copies is a wiki link, and every other link to a repository file points at it as f14412d39 has it, where they pointed at v6.3.7. The text is otherwise the document's, but for the adaptations and additions the headers declare: Contributing's paragraph on reporting and asking keeps the Service Desk for anyone without a GitLab account, as SUPPORT.md does, and now also sends a question from someone with a GitHub account to the Q&A of GitHub's Discussions, where the document still says only a security report can go by email; Release Process's note marked Now at step 9 stands after the document's new sentence there; and the Assurance Case's own additions of 8 September 2026 - the chart of the trust boundaries drawn in section 4 in place of the document's text figure, the sentence on a forward proxy that ends section 6's paragraph on the update path, and the traceability table, the chart of which claim each weakness class answers and the table of the residual risks that close section 7 - are named as this wiki's own in its header, which named none of them. The wiki's own additions on these pages that name the reporting routes - Security Policy's decision chart and its timeline after a report, Governance's map of which document governs what - name GitHub's private vulnerability reporting and the Q&A of GitHub's Discussions beside the confidential issue, the Service Desk address and the forum, and never a pull request or a discussion for a vulnerability; and Governance's note on code-signing material says that the old release workflow could not sign once GitHub had suspended the project's account, where it said it cannot sign while GitHub is unavailable.

Each document's own link is relative and resolves at the tag; these forty-six pointed at master, which is the tag only while master stays at 31d656c0c, and had done so since before 5e44fd4, so that the copies from v6.3.7 took a link to a copied document as a wiki link and one at v6.3.6 to v6.3.7, and left these. Forty-three now name the copy: Security Policy (SECURITY.md), Release Process (RELEASE.md), Contributing, Governance, Architecture, Secrets at Rest, the Upgrading Guide (Upgrading.md), The Service Account, the Regression Test Environment, Third-Party Binaries, Fuzzing, Event Scripts and Migrating the Database Backend, with the document's anchor where it gives one (Governance#maintainers, Security-Policy#secrets-and-credentials, Third-Party-Binaries#where-the-build-gets-them, Upgrading-Guide#an-upgrade-without-a-window twice, Migrating-the-Database-Backend#mysql-and-mariadb), and the other three, DkimKeyRotation.md on Warm Standby and Relocating an Installation and SettingsApply.md on Relocating an Installation, are links at v6.3.7. No text but the links changes. Command Line's header and Architecture's, which say that the page's links point at the documents as that tag has them, are now true of every link of the copied text, the Source of truth link aside, which names master on every copy; the links in this wiki's own notes and tables are as they were.

The wiki is brought up to the published release: 6.3.4 is the signed tag v6.3.4 at 51e2dbda0, published on GitLab on 27 September 2026 (02:37:56 UTC), not 8adce850a of 26 September, where the tag was first made and whose release gate failed. Every page that named 8adce850a as the tag or the release names 51e2dbda0, and every page that dated the release 26 September dates it 27 September: the footer, the sidebar, the page headers, the landing page's Current release, the release timeline's row and picture, section 4e's heading. Each fact those pages took from 8adce850a was checked at 51e2dbda0: the commits between the two change 42 files, whose only documents are CHANGELOG.md, BrandLogos.md, OpenPGP.md and SecretsAtRest.md, none of which a page copies, and which include none of Constants.h, Version.h, formMain.cs, the create scripts, IniFileSettings.cpp, SettingsDefaults.h, the IDL, the Control Panel or .gitlab/allowed_signers, so every file and line cited at the tag holds. Where a page said it read the tag on 26 September, it says it read 8adce850a and that what it read is the same at the tag. The suite has 3,811 [Test] attributes at the tag, not 3,809 (the fixes add two tests); twelve places say so. Changes Since 6.2.10 gains, in batch 40, what the release gate found and the eleven fixes: three change tests alone; of the other eight, three fix what 6.3.3 did too - a relay that refused the OAuth2 login got the server's token into the bounce and the logs (open since 6.2.22-pre1), a rule's forward, copy, reply or notice and an account's forwarding could wait a minute in the queue, and IMAP LIST and LSUB took a literal's length for the pattern - and five fix code new in 6.3.4 (sealed mail and an unnamed part, a closed key's FETCH refusal logged as a critical error, the help desk's password reset read as bytes, the logo and key-directory holds, an alert's encoded Subject over 76 characters). The gate table and the timeline give the re-run on 51e2dbda0 as the logs have it: 2,349 on the first bench (2,252 passed, 0 failed, 97 skipped) and 1,462 on the second (1,446 passed, 0 failed, 16 skipped), the 71 live-update tests elevated, all passed, and the Linux suite on the packaged binary, 2,013 tests, 1,562 passed, 0 failed, 451 skipped (results/b40full3 on linix); the database upgrade gates, the security scans, the fuzzers and the installer smoke test, 65 of 65. The JScript flaw is CVE-2026-100741 (CVSS 3.1 9.8), and the project's issue #43 is public: Security Hardening 17.11, the scripting page, the changes, the capabilities and the API reference name them. The project's download links work (the site has served HTTPS since 26 September; on 27 September they led to 6.3.4's files), so Installing on Linux and Running in a Container no longer say they work once it does. The copies of SECURITY.md and CONTRIBUTING.md give the day GitLab published the release, and the security policy's copy counts the 455 findings .gitlab/security-exceptions.yml accepts at the tag - the 169 of the SAST triage and the 286 that held the release scan - where the repository document still says 169; each header says where the copy differs. Three places said no pipeline had run on the fixed tree; one has, the schedule of 27 September 2026 on master 6bc09509d, which ran the update feed's pages and package-repos jobs alone, and they say so.

The wiki is brought up to the release itself, the signed tag v6.3.4 at 8adce850a: what it said of 6.3.4 had been read from master 92b8f9f63, which the tag's last batch, batch40, follows. Schema 6104, not 6103: 6.3.4 is sixty-four steps from 6.3.3's 6040, the last, 6103 to 6104, adding hm_fetchaccounts.faorigin (Constants.h:1224, formMain.cs:314 and the three create scripts at the tag); every header, table, count and diagram that gave 6103 as 6.3.4's schema says 6104, the upgrade table's step counts are each one more, the step tables gain the 6104 row, and where 6103 means the secrets-at-rest step it stays. No page calls 92b8f9f63 the release or the tree 6.3.4 was cut from any more: a page checked against it says so and that the tag adds a last batch, and a page that copies a repository document the tag leaves as it was says the document is the same at the tag. The copies of repository documents batch40 changes are brought up to the tag, hunk by hunk from the version each copy had reached, their own additions kept: Security Policy (the SSH-signed sums of a release made by hand and the two commands that check a download, an SBOM for every compiled file, a release held by its security scans, secrets refused before they are pushed; its note no longer says the document calls 6.3.3 the latest), Release Process (A release made by hand, the security gate, the SBOM jobs), Upgrading Guide (the installer's HM_ADMIN_PASSWORD, the named lock on MySQL and MariaDB, the probe that stops an upgrade on too old a server at 6041 and the repair of a half-done one), Contributing, Governance (rebuilt on the tag's document, which gives the GitLab roles the owner set on 26 September 2026; the map and the note on code-signing material kept), Assurance Case, Regulatory Scope, Third-Party Binaries, Fuzzing, Migrating the Database Backend and Regression Test Environment. The installer's password handling as the tag has it: the password page is skipped for HM_ADMIN_PASSWORD as for /adminpassword, the database step hands the password (or the live update's token, as token:<hex>) to DBSetupQuick and DBSetup in HM_ADMIN_PASSWORD and DBSetupQuick to DBUpdater the same way, never on a command line, the switch table has the variable, and the unattended upgrade takes either (Installing hMailServer, Upgrading hMailServer 18.4a). How to verify a download: 6.3.4's hmailserver-6.3.4-SHA256SUMS.txt and its .sig, checked with ssh-keygen -Y verify against .gitlab/allowed_signers and sha256sum -c, as SECURITY.md at the tag gives them, and each installer's and package's own SBOM (Installing hMailServer 4.1, Installing on Linux, Upgrading hMailServer 18.4 and 18.4c, home, Release Process, Project Handbook, Troubleshooting, Glossary, Assurance Case, Regulatory Scope). The /download/ links no longer wait on issue #30: the feed's site has had its certificate since 26 September 2026. Changes Since 6.2.10 gains batch 40 in section 4e (the audit before the release, GitLab's SAST and the release gate, the installer's password, the SBOMs and signed sums, the stable download links, the release chain and landing through merge requests, what the first pipeline found, Windows on ARM compiled), items 47 to 51 in section 5 (reserved domain names, a one-time code taken once, the outbound relay's OAuth2 token over TLS only, the fetchers and schema 6104, a pre-6.3.4 hash of a password above U+00FF refused), SQLOLEDB in item 38, the 6041 probe in item 36, and the installer's own PBKDF2 in item 39. Also what the tag makes false elsewhere: the suite has 3,809 [Test] attributes, not 3,698; hmailserver/docs holds 105 documents; Windows on ARM compiles and has never run, where it was "not built"; IMAP offers STARTTLS only before sign-in and TLS and COMPRESS=DEFLATE only after sign-in (Capabilities and Configuration); a parent-domain passkey relying party needs passkey_allowed_origins (Sign-in and Identity); the Settings Reference counts 193 hm_settings rows with PasskeyAllowedOrigins and WebPushLoopbackHttpForTests; and the Linux suite's CI job first ran in the pipeline of 26 September 2026 rather than never.

The wiki is brought up to the tree batch40 will contain: the branches ns-verifier, gl-project, gov, ci-hyg and tf, read from the repository on 26 September 2026. The copies of repository documents take the changes batch40 makes to them - CONTRIBUTING, SECURITY, RELEASE, GOVERNANCE, ASSURANCE-CASE, Fuzzing, RegulatoryScope, ThirdPartyBinaries and RegressionEnvironment - each header saying so. The seven links into /-/blob/master/.github/ point at .gitlab/allowed_signers, .gitlab/hmailserver.openvex.json, or name the GitHub workflow as being in the git history at v6.3.3, since .github/ is gone from the tree; the verify-tag commands read .gitlab/allowed_signers. What the sweep made false is put right: the PKGBUILD builds from the tag on GitLab; the Compose file and the chart name registry.gitlab.com/progressiverobot/hmailserver, a registry that is switched on and holds no image yet; OpenSSL's release archive comes from Debian's archive against its pinned hash; linuxdeploy is no longer downloaded; the build-inputs-1 files come from the package registry; the manifests name the installer's file there. The live update's third signer, the group hmailserver the project is to move to, with the project's id required, is on the update and security pages, the Settings Reference and the changes for 6.3.4, with the three GitLab settings that keep a server to the present path. Governance names Zain Ul Abidin as zainulabidin1990 on GitLab and gives the owner's rule that release tags are created by the Progressiverobot account alone. The /download/ links at updates.progressiverobot.com are given beside the permalinks, labelled as working once that site serves HTTPS (issue #30; it still failed at 05:16). Contributing gains a section of its own on the issue and merge-request templates, the Service Desk, the two boards and the labels as they are on GitLab.

The eighteen pages that copy repository documents are copied again from master 92b8f9f63, the 6.3.4 release, so they say what the repository says on the day 6.3.4 is published. Each was brought forward from the version it was last copied from, 540347500, hunk by hunk, and the wiki's own additions were kept where they are still true. What the documents gained: the stored-secrets key in the command line, the high-availability runbook and the warm standby, which now say that it is made once, exported and imported on the other node, and what a node without it does (HM7495); the service account, the COM rule that a change to an item of a shared collection is written onto a copy until Save(), and MySQL's utf8mb4 step in the upgrading guide; database TLS and utf8mb4 in the backend migration; the fuzz job moved from GitHub Actions to GitLab CI's linux-fuzz; the Windows and Linux suites on GitLab CI in the regression environment; the security policy's scans on the project's own runner and its questionnaire pointer; the contributing guide's CI checks; MessageStore and QuickJS in the architecture; a pre-release tag's suffix and the pinned .NET runtime in the release checklist; the update verifier's two signers in the assurance case. Third-Party Binaries follows a rewritten document: the tree commits no executable binary, and the sections this copy had added about where the forty committed binaries lived and their dispositions described the tree before 11 September 2026, so they are gone. Regulatory Scope's note loses four of the five things it called out of date, which the repository has corrected, and its own Annex I table now says the installer has been Authenticode-signed since 6.3.1, that 6.3.x is the supported line, and what a new installation's secure defaults are. The wiki's labels that said "in the tree after 6.3.3, not yet released" now say what is new in 6.3.4, and each header names 92b8f9f63. Where the repository text itself is now stale - the release checklist's and Regulatory Scope's statements that no release can be cut while the chain is on GitHub, the contributing guide and the security policy naming 6.3.3 as the latest release, the assurance case pointing at the changelog's Unreleased section - the copy keeps the repository's words and the header says so where a reader would be misled; 6.3.4 was built and Authenticode-signed by hand and carries no Sigstore bundle.

Fuzzing and Third-Party Binaries each say, where the section describing a GitHub workflow begins, that the workflow has not run since 18 September 2026, so a reader who lands on that section does not take the nightly fuzzing job or the binary provenance check for something that runs. Fuzzing names what still runs, the release checklist's timed run on the release source (step 8c), as SECURITY.md at master 540347500 does; Third-Party Binaries points to its header note, which says get-installer-binaries.ps1 checks the fetched files against the JSON.

The record pages stop saying that GitHub's checks run. Changes Since 6.2.10 gains one note that a check said to run in style.yml, in CI or elsewhere under .github/workflows/ ran there when the change landed and is run by hand now, and the entries that still read as current - the C++ server compiled on a GitHub-hosted runner, CodeQL on pull requests and weekly, the checker "run by style.yml" - are put in the past tense; the contributing guide it names is the root CONTRIBUTING.md, which was .github/CONTRIBUTING.md until 24 September. The Runbooks Digest gets the banner the Project Handbook has: its .github/ paths are the tree of 4 and 8 September, the three community files are at the root, and the workflows do not run on GitLab. Capabilities and Configuration says the same of the workflow list and the two checkers it places in CI. The copied Regulatory Scope and Third-Party Binaries keep their repository text and say in their header notes what it overstates: the source and releases are on GitLab, the provenance check, CodeQL and Scorecard do not run for now, the update feed and the release-workflow identity are GitHub's and moving them is planned roadmap work, and the build-inputs-1 release is unreachable while GitHub is, with get-installer-binaries.ps1 checking the fetched files against the JSON by hand.

The pages that copy repository documents are copied again from master 540347500, so they say what the repository says after the move to GitLab and after the batches that have landed since each was last copied. Contributing and Security Policy follow their files to the root of the repository, where both were rewritten for GitLab: the contributing guide is now the full one - where things are, how to report, the rule for GitHub's issue numbers, the prerequisites, one build command per component, the suites, every checker, the change checklists, commits, sign-off and merge requests - and the security policy supports 6.3.x and takes a report by a GitLab confidential issue or the project's Service Desk address. Governance names two maintainers, and it, the Release Process and the Assurance Case carry the repository's note that the release chain runs on GitHub Actions and cannot run until it moves. The runbooks gain what the tree after 6.3.3 added to them: the settings store in the database and a save that applies the setting, the drain as a state of its own and UpgradeOnStart, the message held for a sandbox, SPF as an RFC 7208 implementation, the Linux update helper, the locked copies of shared collections, the second bench and the gate in halves. Command Line becomes the whole current document, with every verb the clients have gained since 15 September. Most of these pages carry the wiki's own additions - diagrams, tables, worked commands, and corrections the repository has not taken - so each was merged three ways, from the version of the document it was last copied from to master, and the additions were kept wherever they are still true. Where the repository text describes something in the tree after 6.3.3 and not yet released, the page labels it, as the wiki does elsewhere, and says what 6.3.3 does instead where that matters to someone running it. Additions the repository has overtaken are gone or rewritten: the contribution flowchart and the table of required checks, which were GitHub's, are gone; so are the governance duty table and the bus-factor section, which the document now covers with two maintainers; the security flowchart and timeline send a report to GitLab and ask for the CVE there. The Project Handbook and the release diagram describe build/generate-com-wrapper.ps1, which replaced build/regenerate-interop.ps1 on 11 September 2026 when the COM wrapper left git. Each copy says at the top that it was re-copied from master 540347500 on 24 September 2026. Two say plainly where the repository document is itself out of date, and the copy with it: Third-Party Binaries and Regulatory Scope still count forty committed binaries, none of which has been in git since 11 September 2026, and Regulatory Scope still calls Authenticode signing outstanding and the releases GitHub's. The regression environment's 7-Zip path, which the repository document writes with a control character where \7 belongs, reads correctly here. Fuzzing.md has not changed since the wiki's copy, and its page says so.

The wiki's links move from GitHub to GitLab, where the project has lived since 22 September 2026. GitHub suspended the account on 18 September and every one of the project's GitHub addresses answers 404, so the download links, the source links, the security route, the support route and the "report an error" link all led nowhere. Every link to a file in the repository now opens it on GitLab, and the four community files that moved to the repository root on master 540347500 - CONTRIBUTING.md, SECURITY.md, SUPPORT.md and CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md - are linked there, which also mends the seven links to a root SECURITY.md that did not exist when they were written. The download links open the latest GitLab release, and the installer has a link that always fetches the latest one. A private report goes to a GitLab confidential issue or the project's Service Desk address, a question is an issue with the Question template because GitLab has no Discussions, and a reader who wants to hear of releases is told how to watch the project on GitLab. The Project Handbook, written against GitHub on 4 September, says that its GitHub process is the project as it was then. The GitHub facts that stay are facts about the product, and each now says what is true of it: the update feed the server reads by default, which answers 404, so a check fails with "The update feed answered HTTP 404." until UpdateFeedUrl names another feed; the Sigstore identity and issuer that signed every release up to 6.3.3, which verify those files wherever they are hosted and which the verifier's defaults still name, so a release signed anywhere else is refused unless the three settings are changed; and the two GitHub addresses compiled into the product, the Policy line of the security.txt the server serves and the Control Panel's About link. Every GitHub issue, discussion and pull-request number written with a hash is now written in words - "GitHub issue 114", "GitHub discussion 18", "upstream PR 602" - with the kind the repository's CHANGELOG gives each number, because GitLab turns a hash and a number into a link to its own issue of that number, which is something else. The one maintainer handle left in running text is in code, and the webmail's mentions no longer read as a GitLab user. Four things GitLab rendered wrongly are put right. The Stopping Spam link to Routes and Relays was split by a line break and led to a page that does not exist. The Fuzzing page's two repository-relative links resolved inside the wiki; they open the fuzz folder and its regression README on GitLab. Placeholders written outside code, such as <host:port>, <addr> and <culture>, were read as HTML and dropped or turned into links; they are in code now. And the Assurance Case's eight section headings began "1. " above a setext rule, which CommonMark reads as a list and a thematic break, so its contents links had nothing to land on; they are ATX headings with the ids those links name.

The wiki rewritten in depth: 141 diagrams drawn from the code, every reference page made exhaustive, and twenty-one defaults corrected that no page had ever stated The wiki was accurate after this morning's sweep and thin. This is the depth pass the owner asked for: every page read against the code again, every reference page completed, and a diagram wherever a diagram says it better than a paragraph. 141 Mermaid diagrams across 49 pages, each drawn from the handler rather than from memory: the SMTP submission sequence with the checks in the order ProtocolMAIL_ and ProtocolRCPT_ actually run them, the IMAP session state machine from the per-command authentication guards, the DMARC evaluation, the delivery pipeline and its retry arithmetic, the ACME renewal state machine, the spam decision from connection to delivery, the schema chain, the component and threading models of the whole server, the CI workflows and what each one gates, the release draft-sign-publish flow, and a map of the journeys through the wiki itself on the landing page. The reference pages are now exhaustive rather than representative: every route with its method, authentication, request and response shape and its error codes; every [Settings] key with its default, its effect and whether it needs a restart; every port with the key that opens it; every rule criterion and action; every Sieve extension the server advertises; every metric the listener exposes. Twenty-one facts were wrong or absent, and each is corrected against the code rather than adjusted. The ones that will save somebody an afternoon: IMAP SASL PLAIN and SCRAM are not advertised on a default install, which looks exactly like a client bug; SMTP AUTH PLAIN is off by default too; DMARC checking is on while SPF and DKIM as scored tests are off, and the DMARC test evaluates both itself regardless; the seeded DNSBL and SURBL servers are inactive; a new mailbox contains INBOX and nothing else, which is the real cause of the classic missing Sent folder; MTA-STS hosting and autoconfiguration default on while both web-service ports default to 0, so the shipped default is features on with nothing listening; and TLS-RPT and DMARC report sending are inert until their From address is set, with each completed day discarded unsent. Eleven screenshots are named as wanted, with what each should show. The existing images are from a 6.2.10-era build and the pages say so where it matters.

Every page read against the tree on 8 September 2026: the release and schema stamps (6.2.27, schema 6031, 2,124 tests), the routes, keys and pages that were missing, the listener paragraphs that were false, and the unreleased work labelled as such An audit of all 51 pages against master produced about 360 findings on 43 of them, applied here. The largest: the APIs reference lacked 47 routes and described the listeners as single-threaded HTTP/1.0 (they run on the Boost.Asio HTTP/1.1 server); the settings reference lacked the fourteen Update* keys and IMAPCompressionEnabled and counted 195 keys instead of 236; every "current release" stamp said 6.2.24; Changes Since 6.2.10 ended three releases and one schema step early; Architecture said the optional listeners were deliberately not Boost.Asio and built their own SSL contexts (neither is true); the upgrading pages still warned of a silent-upgrade hang fixed in 6.2.23; the Control Panel pages knew nothing of the seventeen languages, the Updates card or the stalled-mail page; and two pages did not render (a header inside a code block, CR and TAB bytes in file names). Anything in the tree but not in v6.2.27 - the live update, the self-service portal and /api/v1/me, the HttpServer listeners, IMAP COMPRESS=DEFLATE, the seventeen-language Control Panel, the Control Deck views - is documented and marked "in the tree after 6.2.27, not yet released". The Control Panel screenshots are still from a 6.2.10 build and the pages now say so.
