New in SecurityGateway for Exchange/SMTP 2.0.1 (Aug 26, 2009)

  • To reduce the size of the database, the admin may choose to not log certain types of messages to the database. These items will not appear in the message log and will not be included in report statistics. However, all messages will be logged to the appropriate log file (e.g. Inbound.log).

New in SecurityGateway for Exchange/SMTP 2.0.0 (Aug 6, 2009)

  • [179] Scheduled Statistics Report:
  • On a nightly or weekly basis, a statistics report can be sent to all global administrators, all domain administrators, or a manually defined list of email addresses. This report allows the filtering effectiveness and health of the server to be quickly ascertained. For domain administrators, the report will only contain statistics for the domain(s) which the administrator has administrative rights.
  • [201] Disclaimers (Headers / Footers):
  • Added the ability to add simple headers and footers to messages. One use of this is to add a "--- Message scanned by SecurityGateway for Exchange/SMTP ---" footer to all messages. This feature will be expanded in future versions.
  • [1757] Extract text from attachments:
  • Content filter rules and custom Sieve scripts can perform actions based upon the content of an attachment. The Sieve body test "text" tag automatically extracts text from several popular attachment formats.
  • The iFilter interface is used to extract plain text from Microsoft Office and PDF documents. In order to search PDF documents, Adobe Acrobat Reader must be installed on the SecurityGateway server. Office 2007 documents require the 2007 Office System Converter: Microsoft Filter Pack to be installed.
  • [3892] Dashboard for domain administrators. Only statistics for the domain(s) managed are displayed.
  • [4082] Collect mail from a POP3 mailbox:
  • This feature allows mail for a domain to be collected from a POP3 mailbox. It is modeled after MDaemon's DomainPOP functionality. For each POP3 mailbox you configure, mail will be collected and parsed among valid recipients at the domain you specify.
  • [4060] Domain aliases:
  • Aliases may be defined for a domain. All of the domain's users are assumed to be valid for each domain alias. This is useful if a domain has registered multiple domain names, e.g. altn.com, altn.us, altn.biz, etc.
  • [4072] Define multiple search strings for a single content filter condition:
  • The content filter is a graphical interface for building Sieve scripts. Multiple search strings may now be defined for a single condition. The user may specify if the condition must match any or all or the defined strings. This is useful for searching a message header or body against a list of keywords.
  • [4254] Added the following statistics (charts) to the "My Account" page for local users. Only statistics for the user's account are displayed.
  • Good vs. Junk Messages
  • Junk Email Breakdown
  • Inbound vs. Outbound Messages
  • Top Spam Sources
  • [4063] Improved heuristic rule update process:
  • The heuristic rule update process now has the ability to pull updates from updates.spamassassin.org in addition to updates from Alt-N. The SGSpamD Configuration UI has a new checkbox which controls this capability. This will make sure your SpamAssassin rule-sets are always kept current. This functionality is enabled by default.
  • [1237] Added option to redeliver message(s) from the message log. This option requires that the content of the message has not been deleted from the database.
  • [1711] Added a per user language option. System generated messages sent to the user will be translated to this language. A default value may be applied on a server and individual domain basis.
  • [3204] Added the ability for SGDBTool.exe to create a global administrator. This is useful in cases where the global administrator account created during installation is not accessible.
  • [3205] Added the ability for SGDBTool.exe to promote a user to a global administrator.
  • [4062] Updated SpamAssassin (SGSpamD) to version 3.2.5.
  • [4066] Updated ClamAV engine to version 0.95.1.
  • [4128] Updated CommTouch Outbreak Protection engine to version 5.08.0002.
  • [4131] Changed default log rotation for new installations to "Create a new set of log files each day".
  • [4140] Add to message score content filter action
  • [4167] A transient delivery failure notification is sent to the sender, if a message cannot be delivered after one hour.
  • [4193] Verify users for a single domain. The "Verify Users" toolbar button on the User Verification Source list honors the domain chosen from the drop down list.
  • [4194] Created additional indexes for "lists" table. This will improve the performance of white/black list lookups.
  • [4221] Greylisting is now supported for Sieve scripts that run during the DATA event. While it is preferred to greylist at RCPT, before the message is transferred, conditional greylisting in response to the DATA command can be a useful tool. This may be an attractive alternative to quarantining mid scoring messages. With the flexibility of SIEVE, large messages can be excluded.
  • [4241] NDRs are no longer sent to "noreply" addresses.
  • [4256] Scale of "Total Bandwidth Used by Email" report is now automatically formatted. For example 140000KB is now displayed as 140MB.
  • [4257] Added "Total" summary line for numerical reports
  • [4323] Changed defaults for "Relay Control | SMTP MAIL address must exist..." to exclude domain mail servers and authenticated sessions by default. This only applies to new installations.
  • [4326] Changed installer to make installing registered or trial version more clear. An email address and country are now required for trial installations.
  • [4337] A different path/drive may be specified for the database file. This must be a path on the same computer, UNC paths are not supported. To configure the path, create a string value "DBPath" under the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREAlt-N TechnologiesSecurityGateway registry key. The path does not need to contain the name of the database file, i.e. E:SG_Database
