Patrizia -> RE: GFI MailSecurity 10 Build 20070117 (30.Aug.2007 11:08:08 AM)
|
Changes within build 20070117 include:
- NEW: Introduced support for 64-bit Microsoft Operating Systems/64-bit IIS SMTP. Please note that only x64 64-bit platforms are supported; AMD64 and Intel 64 (formerly known as EM64T). IA-64 Itanium 64-bit platforms are not supported.
- NEW: Introduced support for Microsoft Exchange Server 2007. Please note that only the 64-bit production version of Exchange 2007 is supported; the 32-bit test version is not supported.
- NEW: Introduced McAfee V5 anti-virus engine out of the box. This was previously available through automatic updates and only in legacy mode (without the ability to make full use of the enhancements in the new engine).
- NEW: General performance improvements to the GFI MailSecurity scanning components.
- NEW: Performance improvements to the utilization of the BitDefender anti-virus engine.
- NEW: Performance improvements to the GFI MailSecurity Trojan and Executable Scanner.
- NEW: Performance improvements related to the retrieval of user information from Active Directory incurred by user based Content Checking and Attachment Checking rules.
- NEW: Introduced utilization of the Norman Decompression and Compression Library.
- NEW: Introduced utilization of new MIME parsing technology which better serves the needs of GFI MailSecurity.
- NEW: Retrieval of user information from entire Active Directory forests (as opposed to a single tree in a forest) is now supported.
- NEW: Improved robustness against failures during processing. In the event of failed processing for 500 consecutive emails (causing them to be saved into the mailsecurity\failedmails directory instead of being delivered) the GFI MailSecurity Scan Engine will now terminate and restart automatically. This allows recovery from any possible stability issues causing the failures, making up for improved robustness of the scan engine.
- NEW: Improved robustness against failures during updates. Introduced a hang prevention mechanism such that in the event of a hang during the unload/reload stage of a manual or automatic update the GFI MailSecurity Scan Engine will terminate after 10 minutes and restart. This allows recovery from such events rather than causing emails to accumulate in the email server's queues.
- NEW: Introduced 'subject' column in the web based quarantine management user interface.
- NEW: Introduced 'Delete & Notify' and 'Strip & Approve' actions in the web based quarantine management user interface.
- NEW: A number of minor updates have been made to the web based configuration user interface. Among other, a number of icons/graphics have been changed, the root node has been renamed from 'Console Root' to 'GFI MailSecurity', and a node has been added with information about the newly available GFI MailSecurity 10 ReportPack.
- NEW: Updated Content-Type of responses returned to requests for the GFI MailSecurity Quarantine RSS Feeds to 'application/rss+xml' when it is detected that the User-Agent is Microsoft Internet Explorer 7, enabling the latter to recognize the feeds as such.
- NEW: Updated product manual so as to reflect newly introduced support for 64-bit Microsoft Operating Systems/64-bit IIS SMTP and Microsoft Exchange Server 2007.
- FIXED: When installing GFI MailSecurity on Microsoft Windows Server 2003 and the ASP.NET Web Service Extension is disabled the GFI MailSecurity installation will now issue a warning and prompt the user to enable the Web Service Extension.
- FIXED: Following a reboot of the machine on which GFI MailSecurity is installed, intialization of the GFI MailSecurity Scan Engine fails and all emails are saved into the mailsecurity\failedmails directory instead of being delivered. This issue has only been observed on particular installations of Microsoft Windows 2000. Fix previously released as MSEC10_PATCH_20060727_01.
- FIXED: Through the introduction of new MIME parsing technology, a number of issues related to MIME parsing have been fixed, including (i) failure to process emails with more than one Content-Type header, with the emails in question being saved in the mailsecurity\failedmails directory instead of being delivered (ii) possible corruption of email headers when encoded headers are present (iii) possible failures processing large emails (in the order of 100MB), with the emails in question being saved in the mailsecurity\failedmails directory instead of being delivered. Fix previously released as MSEC10_PATCH_20060915_01.
- FIXED: Through the introduction of new MIME parsing technology, issues related to high memory and CPU resource consumption when processing certain emails (such as large emails in the order of 100MB) have been resolved.
- FIXED: Issues with multi-volume RAR and ZIP archives being saved in the mailsecurity\failedmails directory instead of being delivered have been resolved.
- FIXED: Under conditions of prolonged heavy load, large numbers of queries to Active Directory by the GFI MailSecurity Scan Engine were in some cases exhausting the number of free sockets on the machine, causing email processing failures and resulting in emails being saved into the mailsecurity\failedmails directory rather than being delivered.
- FIXED: A stability issue related to the retrieval of user information from Active Directory by the GFI MailSecurity Scan Engine was resolved. This issue would manifest itself under prolonged heavy load, resulting in processing of all emails by the GFI MailSecurity Scan Engine to fail and all emails being saved into the mailsecurity\failedmails directory instead of being delivered.
- FIXED: A stability issue related to the automatic user list population feature of GFI MailSecurity when installed in SMTP user mode was resolved. This issue could cause the GFI MailSecurity Scan Engine to crash when a user is automatically added to the user list while the scan engine is under load.
- FIXED: A stability issue related to the uninitialization of the GFI MailSecurity Scan Engine was resolved. This issue could cause the GFI MailSecurity Scan Engine to crash during uninitialization.
- FIXED: When an Active Directory group is added to the exclude list of a Content Checking or Attachment Checking rule, members of that group will not be excluded should an email triggering the rule in question be destined for two or more members of that group. The issue does not manifest itself in cases when the email is destined for only one member of the group. Fix previously released as MSEC10_PATCH_20070124_01.
- FIXED: When an Active Directory user having a single email address is added to the exclude list of a Content Checking or Attachment Checking rule, that user will not be excluded should an email triggering the rule be destined for him/her.
- FIXED: When the GFI ContentSecurity Auto-Updater service is stopped/restarted while downloading of an update is in progress, this was erroneously detected as a failure condition and notification was being sent that a failure occurred while downloading an update.
- FIXED: An issue in the GFI ContentSecurity Auto-Updater service has been fixed where if one or more files in a downloaded update failed to extract, the update was still applied without those files and a successful update reported.
- FIXED: Reduced resource consumption by the tracing components associated with the GFI MailSecurity Attendant Service.
- FIXED: When configuring GFI MailSecurity to make use of Microsoft SQL Server as the repository for its reporting data, the use of certain characters in the password could result in a failure with the error message 'could not connect to database' being displayed. Fix previously released as MSEC10_PATCH_20070221_01.
- FIXED: When IIS response compression is enabled, all items downloaded through the web based quarantine management user interface were being assigned the filename "itempage.aspx".
- FIXED: When GFI MailSecurity is configured to send email based Quarantine Action Forms to the administrator when an email is quarantined, multiple recipients are displayed without a separator in the Quarantine Action Forms.
- FIXED: When GFI MailSecurity is configured to send email based notifications to the administrator and/or user when an email is quarantined, a maximum of 4 recipients are displayed in the notification with no indication that the original email was destined to more recipients.
- FIXED: The GFI MailSecurity Troubleshooter displays the message 'The support folder cannot be cleared. Please wait for a few minutes and run the troubleshooter again' if on startup the mailsecurity\troubleshooter\support folder exists and contains a file with the read-only attribute set.
