GFI MailEssentials 2014 (build 20131113)

Author: Luis Fernandes

Type: Release

Product: GFI MailEssentials 2014, build 20131113

Improvements:

  • GFI MailEssentials SpamTag for Microsoft® Outlook. An outlook add-on which provides end users with ability to classify spam\ham, train Bayesian filter and add emails to personal whitelist\blocklist from their Outlook client
  • IP Blocklist spam filter, which can also run during SMTP transmission
  • Email Management and POP2Exchange configuration in GFI MailEssentials web configuration
  • GFI MailEssentials can now be installed in the Polish language
  • Easier log gathering tool for troubleshooting issues with GFI Support


Fixes:

  • Attachment without extension was blocked by rules using 'All except' file type option even though file type was detected through attachment content
  • FIX: If quarantined malware\content filtering item was opened to view its details, it’s respective file on disk was not deleted when item is approved or deleted
  • FIX: Use of Switchboard to move GFI MailEssentials virtual directories to a different site did not move the SpamTag virtual directory
  • Tagging not performed on email forwarded through global actions
  • POP2Exchange crashed when downloading email containing empty body text
  • On Microsoft Exchange 2013, outbound emails which were processed by disclaimers are shown without the paper clip icon in Microsoft Outlook
  • Configuration reported 'License key is invalid' due to timeout when querying Active Directory containing thousands of users
  • Recipient spam digest not being sent to recipients on Microsoft IIS only environments
  • The Attachment Checking 'BlockFiles_ViaExtAssociations' registry setting was not being used by the attachment checking functionality
  • The GFI MAX MailProtection\MailEdge IP address list was not always retrieved successfully, causing emails to still be filtered for spam
  • Report writing module stopped processing items when an entry could not be written to database, and this eventually led to processing of emails to fail
  • Spam digest was only being sent to first 1000 users enumerated from Active Directory
  • Report writing failed during writing of email details due to duplicate email addresses
  • If login to configuration is done without 'domain\' format and log in fails, the default domain is prepended to username
