   - `LOGROTATE_COUNT` defines the number of files kept by logrotate ([#3907](https://github.com/docker-mailserver/docker-mailserver/pull/3907))
     - The fail2ban log file is now also taken into account by `LOGROTATE_COUNT` and `LOGROTATE_INTERVAL` ([#3915](https://github.com/docker-mailserver/docker-mailserver/pull/3915), [#3919](https://github.com/docker-mailserver/docker-mailserver/pull/3919))
 
+- **Internal:**
+  - Regular container restarts are now better supported. Setup scripts that ran previously will now be skipped ([#3929](https://github.com/docker-mailserver/docker-mailserver/pull/3929))
