• NEW: DKIM Test
  The new version supports using the DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) email authentication framework for verifying the integrity of incoming emails as well as the identity of responsible senders via cryptographic signatures.
• NEW: DMARC Test
  Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting & Conformance (DMARC), possibly the most advanced email validation system designed to combat phishing and email spoofing, is now here to help you detect and mitigate fraudulent messages.
• NEW: Per-Test Actions
  Separate filtering actions can now be specified for almost every blacklist test.
• NEW: Attachment Filter Exceptions
  Allows excluding specific senders from Attachment Filtering by the sender email address or the source IP address.
• NEW: DKIM Test added to Whitelist Test Exceptions
  Provides an opportunity to verify the authenticity of the incoming email before the Auto Sender Whitelist or Sender Whitelist could exempt the message from filtering (disabled by default).
• NEW: General User Interface Improvements
  
  • Status indicator added to tests in the side-menu
  • Toggle option added to the toolbars
  • Status bar elements are now interactive
  • Some of the icons received a second state
• NEW: Log Viewer Log File Handling Improvements
  
  • Drag-and-drop support added
  • You may now select multiple log files and load them at once
  • Loading specific log files is now possible in multi-server mode as well
• IMPROVED: Attachment Blacklist Logging

• CHANGE: Microsoft® Windows Server 2003 support retired
  The new version no longer supports Microsoft® Windows Sever 2003.
• CHANGE: Microsoft® Exchange Server 2000-2003 support retired
  The new version no longer supports Exchange Server 2000 and Exchange Server 2003.
• CHANGE: Fusion for SBS edition retired
  The Fusion for SBS edition of ORF has been retired due to lack of demand. There is only one ORF edition now, ORF Fusion, which supports Windows Server Essentials (formerly Windows Small Business Server or SBS) installations as well. Free upgrades to ORF Fusion are given to Fusion for SBS users with active Software Maintenance Agreements.
• CHANGE: License Agreement Updated

• BUGFIX: Increased Memory Usage & Oversized PowerLog Reference File
  A bug in the ORF PowerLog Reference module resulted in a new reference entry being added to the plogrefs.dat file on each IP Whitelist and IP Blacklist hit. The potential impacts of the bug were out of memory errors and service crashes affecting servers with very high email load.
• BUGFIX: Wrong Attachment Filtering Action on Memory Error
  Fixed an error handling bug that could cause legitimate emails and attachments to be blacklisted or quarantined.
• BUGFIX: Configuration Change Warning Not Displayed
  The ORF Administration Tool did not check whether the local configuration of the subscriber server should be saved before connecting to a publisher server if the connection was initiated from a settings page that was in subscriber mode.
