What's New in 6.8.3?
The complete list of changes is available in the Change Log. Find some highlighted changes below:
- CHANGE: Attachment Filtering - Encrypted archives scanning
Enabling the "Remove password protected archives" and "Force check attachments" options together will now return a hit for encrypted and password protected content inside archives, regardless of the file extension. - CHANGE: Adjusted filtering order
When the DHA Protection Test is set to run only at On Arrival, the Recipient Blacklist and Recipient Validation tests will no longer be performed Before Arrival. - BUGFIX: Timestamp conversion errors
Unix timestamps in DKIM and ARC signatures dated more than a decade in the future were causing signature verification errors. - BUGFIX: Missing ARC signature in whitelisted emails
The ARC signature was not added to incoming external emails that were whitelisted by the Authentication Whitelist. - BUGFIX: Plus Addressing not applied to whitelisted emails
Plus Addressing actions were not being performed on incoming external emails that were whitelisted by the Authentication Whitelist. - BUGFIX: Multi-recipient email delivery issue with blacklisted and plus tagged recipients
Emails with recipients who were both blacklisted and tagged with a plus tag could trigger an exception error, preventing successful delivery of the affected email. - BUGFIX: Email content replaced by Attachment Filtering
The Attachment Filtering test replaced the entire email content (including header, body) when the email itself was defined as an attachment, and identified as a blacklisted attachment. - BUGFIX: Incorrect remote control submission
Entries sent from the Log Viewer to the HELO Domain Blacklist with a subdomain search scope were incorrectly added to the configuration as wildcard expressions instead of regular expressions. - BUGFIX: Configuration error caused by non-printable characters
Non-printable characters in the ORF configuration caused errors when saving or updating the configuration. - BUGFIX: Log Viewer fixes
A number of issues have been resolved: - Timeout message was not displayed when unable to connect to the SQL server.
- Unexpected crash when selecting certain elements in a certain order in the right-click menu.
- The Sender IP quick filter targeted the wrong log field when filtering IP addresses from the /24 range.
- UTF8 encoded email subject lines and attachment names were sometimes inaccurately logged.
