Tuta vs Rspamd: at a glance
What is Tuta?
Tuta's One-Click Migration can now pull mail through Google and Microsoft APIs, not just IMAP.
Tuta is an encrypted email, calendar and drive suite that ships one numbered build across web, desktop, Android and iOS. The 368.261109 build adds the option to open attachments while composing and lets One-Click Migration import from Gmail and Microsoft accounts through their APIs as well as IMAP. The rest of the batch is bug fixes: list selection flashing, spam rules not updating, alias deactivation for shared mailboxes and connection errors during migration.
What is Rspamd?
Rspamd 4.3 fixes SPF evaluation order and rejects weak DKIM keys, with results that change.
Rspamd 4.3.0 on November 13 is a correctness release with a long incompatible-changes list. SPF records are now evaluated in term order, closing a case where an explicit -ip4 deny could be overridden by a broader allow. DKIM rejects RSA keys under 1024 bits and signatures with duplicate tags, DMARC no longer drops a policy over an unknown tag, URL mismatches are scored apart from phishing, and PDF text extraction and archive unpacking change their output. Critical fixes cover a header line that could abort a worker from one unauthenticated HTTP request.

Tuta
5.0COMMS
Tuta's One-Click Migration can now pull mail through Google and Microsoft APIs, not just IMAP.
◆ Current state
Tuta is an encrypted email, calendar and drive suite that ships one numbered build across web, desktop, Android and iOS. The 368.261109 build adds the option to open attachments while composing and lets One-Click Migration import from Gmail and Microsoft accounts through their APIs as well as IMAP. The rest of the batch is bug fixes: list selection flashing, spam rules not updating, alias deactivation for shared mailboxes and connection errors during migration.
◆ Where it's heading
The visible product work is aimed at switching: the migration tool keeps gaining source options and its error handling is getting attention, including the Proton Mail Bridge path. Releases fan out to every platform within hours, so most entries are the same fix list repeated per client.
◆ Prediction
Expect more migration fixes and sources in the next builds, plus follow-up patches like the November 10 mailto fix on the web app.
Rspamd
5.0COMMS
Rspamd 4.3 fixes SPF evaluation order and rejects weak DKIM keys, with results that change.
◆ Current state
Rspamd 4.3.0 on November 13 is a correctness release with a long incompatible-changes list. SPF records are now evaluated in term order, closing a case where an explicit -ip4 deny could be overridden by a broader allow. DKIM rejects RSA keys under 1024 bits and signatures with duplicate tags, DMARC no longer drops a policy over an unknown tag, URL mismatches are scored apart from phishing, and PDF text extraction and archive unpacking change their output. Critical fixes cover a header line that could abort a worker from one unauthenticated HTTP request.
◆ Where it's heading
Since 4.1, every release has hardened parsers and closed memory-safety and trust gaps; 4.3 applies the same pass to the authentication standards themselves (SPF, DKIM, DMARC, ARC) and to content extraction. Operators should expect scores and fuzzy hashes to shift after upgrading, because the project now favours spec-correct results over backward-compatible ones.
◆ Prediction
A 4.3.x point release fixing regressions from these behaviour changes is the likely next step, as 4.2.1 followed 4.2.0 within two weeks.
