Rspamd 4.3 fixes SPF evaluation order and rejects weak DKIM keys, with results that change.
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Salesmsg and Misskey — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Salesmsg adds call-back requests and a one-click Emergency Stop for all outbound texts.
Salesmsg's autumn releases added survey automation, Click Tracking, upgraded Reviews and an official MCP server, then turned Sherpa AI into an assistant that sends replies and builds broadcasts after approval. The November 12 update moves to calling and safety controls: callers can request a callback instead of holding, Emergency Stop pauses every outbound message at once, inboxes can require call recording, tags can be applied during calls with HubSpot sync, and a weekly recap reports AI agent performance.
Misskey 2026.11 ships: a leaner start script, and Node.js 22 no longer boots.
Misskey 2026.11.0 is out after an alpha, two betas and a release candidate in a week. The new start script stops extra processes from staying resident, saving about 50MB per server on the official Docker image, which uses it automatically. Node.js v22 support ends, the minimum is now 24.22.3 or 26.13.1, and NODE_OPTIONS paths now resolve from the repository root. Smaller changes include better display of Mastodon quotes and an autoplay setting for URL previews.

With AI now able to send messages, Salesmsg is adding the brakes: an organization-wide stop switch and weekly reports on what its AI agents did. Calling features keep catching up with texting, with queue callbacks and recording rules.
Expect more controls over what Sherpa and AI agents may send, such as per-agent limits or approval rules, alongside further HubSpot call-data sync.

Misskey's last two cycles are about making servers cheaper and safer to run: tighter Sentry data-collection defaults in 2026.10, lower memory and newer Node versions in 2026.11. Each one carries a breaking requirement that admins must check before upgrading.
Expect 2026.11.x patch releases for upgrade problems, especially around custom NODE_OPTIONS and systemd units. The entries do not show what the next feature cycle will target.
