Dear subscribers

After the recent announcement https://roundcube.net/news/2021/09/14/spell-roundcube-net-service-down about the death of spell.roundcube.net, we received a number of offers from internet service providers around the globe who offered their support to continue the free spell checking service for Roundcube.

Now we’re happy to announce that we could establish a new sponsoring with HostingU2 https://hostingu2.nl from the Netherlands and that spell.roundcube.net is back online.

Although we can again support existing Roundcube installations with their default settings for spell checking, we still encourage you to re-configure https://github.com/roundcube/roundcubemail/blob/master/config/defaults.inc.php#L921 Roundcube to use PHP’s pspell https://www.php.net/manual/en/book.pspell.php or enchant https://www.php.net/manual/en/book.enchant.php API with a locally installed aspell library. We have also created a Docker image https://hub.docker.com/r/roundcube/google-spell-pspell allowing you to run your own instance of the former Google Spell Check service as we do.

Kind regards,

Thomas
