       (builtins.fetchTarball {
         url = "https://gitlab.com/simple-nixos-mailserver/nixos-mailserver/-/archive/${release}/nixos-mailserver-${release}.tar.gz";

       loginAccounts = {

Release notes

nixos-20.03

• Rspamd is upgraded to 2.0 which deprecates the SQLite Bayes backend. We then moved to the Redis backend (the default since Rspamd 2.0). If you don't want to relearn the Redis backend from the scratch, we could manually run

  rspamadm statconvert --spam-db /var/lib/rspamd/bayes.spam.sqlite --ham-db /var/lib/rspamd/bayes.ham.sqlite -h 127.0.0.1:6379 --symbol-ham BAYES_HAM --symbol-spam BAYES_SPAM
  

  See the Rspamd migration notes and this SNM Merge Request for details.
