New/Changed/Improved

  • New: Added Optical Character Recognition (OCR) plugin to combat increasing spread of image only spam. This plugin checks for specific keywords in embedded image files. On a busy server it may not be desirable to have this plugin enabled as it could hog system resources (adding at least 2-3 seconds processing time for each mail). As such it is disabled by default. It may be enabled from the Anti-Spam Engine -> Settings page.
  • New: Users now have the ability to request an on-demand quarantine report from a link on an existing report. The administrator controls if this option is present or not, and is disabled by default.
  • New: Added ‘admin’ console login which allows basic tasks such as view/modify network settings, reset web access settings (in case of lockout), restart web server, ping/traceroute tools and reboot of the system. This account has the same password as the web ‘admin’ account.
  • New: Added penpals soft-whitelisting feature. This lowers the spam score of received replies to a message previously sent by a local user to this address. This can be useful in preventing potential false positives from email addresses that users are in frequent contact with.
  • New: Added a ‘View Source’ tab to the quarantine mail viewer. This allows the user to view the unformatted ‘raw’ message source.
  • New: Added spam quarantine cutoff level. Administrator can now set a policy to quarantine spam, but to discard messages scoring above a certain level. This is configurable on a per-domain/per-user policy basis. It is disabled by default.
  • New: Automatically remember last period filter on history page. When the admin returns to the history it will automatically use the previously use period filter, rather that always using ‘Just for Today’ filter.
  • New: Added support for displaying multi-byte character sets. i.e the quarantine listing (both in the UI and reports) display multibyte subjects correctly. Also the mail viewer will now correctly display content using multi-byte character sets.
  • Update: Spamassassin engine updated to 3.1.4. This release contains several important bug fixes over the previous version.
  • Update: ClamAV virus engine update to 0.88.4. This release fixes a possible heap overflow.
  • Fix: Resolved issue where rejected postfix messages due to ‘Sender address rejected: Domain not found’ and ‘Sender address rejected: need fully-qualified address’ where not been looged to the database and therefore where not showing up in the history.
  • Fix: Resolved issue which allowed a user who had no messages processed by SpamTitan to view the entire quarantine if they login successfully to the web interface.
  • Fix: Resolved bug in charts that sometimes showed an empty entry.
  • Fix: Resolved issue viewing log files due to browser incompatabilities.
  • Fix: Resolved issue where a random policy would be generated if an end-user modified their quarantine settings from the UI.
  • Fix: Resolved issue with pop3 authentication where it was not possible to authenticate if the pop3 server required the full email address for login.
  • Fix: Resolved issue which prevented multiple nightly reports been generated.
