I think it would be quite useful if there will be ability to ban an IP address which tries to send proven (e.g. detected by Directory Harvesting, Spam Razer or, for example, Keyword Filtering) spam. I see quite many spam machines which try to send spam to a single server for more and more, no matter that most of their messages are blocked as early as on SMTP level. Banning an ip address of such a machines for some hours will conserve some bandwidth and CPU cycles of ME-protected server.

There could be also an optional feedback from ME-protected servers to some global IP reputation database acting like DNSBL.

ME inbuilt greylisting module will be very interesting, specially if it can be configured: for example, email scanned as legitimate, don't apply greylisting, but email classified as Spam, apply.

Thank you very much.

Great product!

I would love to get a way to filter based on the sender name. It's real, real easy to spot spam based on sender name. A spammer might change their IP addres, email address, and keywords but they typically use the same words in the sender name. Plus there's a whole slew of spammers who don't bother to initial cap the sender name. Any chance of getting these in a future release???

Possibly been asked before, but here goes:

It would be nice to see the correct module order in the Anti-Spam Filters node in the configuration console, based on the module priority, refreshed each time a change is made. This could be achieved by pre-pending the module's priority as a two-digit number and then sorting alphanumerically.

Similarly, proper integration with MMC instead of having to click "properties" to bring up a separate dialogue box; the right-hand pane is almost useless in the configuration console. The Email Management node uses the right-hand pane correctly to display information for some of the nodes.

Hey everybody,

we run the GFI Mail Essentials on a Mail Relay Server. We got a nice spamrate around 95 % the biggest amount is filtered by directory harvesting. But we still have a small Spam Problem.
I got a lot of colleagues that receive spam with the following header (only a part):

to: "firstname.lastname@ourcompany.com" <firstname.lastname@ourcompany.com>
Subject: =?utf-8?B?W1NQQU1dIC0gVmlnb3JvdXNlcnMsIGVsaXRlIGNsYXNzIC0gR2VmdW5kZW5lIFfDtnJ0ZXIgcm9kIGltIFRleHRrw7ZycGVy?=
Date: Mon, 2 Nov 2009 16:34:23 -0300
MIME-Version: 1.0
From: Hinners <firstname.lastname@ourcompany.com>
Organization: Aovatal
Message-ID: <op.4768t3c788l321@colossus>
User-Agent: Opera Mail/10.01 (Win32)
Return-Path: firstname.lastname@ourcompany.com
X-OriginalArrivalTime: 02 Nov 2009 19:34:28.0547 (UTC) FILETIME=[7E2BF130:01CA5BF3]

You see all the entries for the email address are filled with the same email address. For our configuration it would be helpful if we can get a possibility to block emails if the sending email address in the header is the same then the receiving email address. Maybe as a special setting for Mailrelay configuration.

-------------------------------

Another helpful function would be a cleaning option for the logfiles. To get the disk space clean without manuell work for scripting. An option that cleans all entries that are older then "12" month out of the logfiles would be great.


with best regards

Web management console to be consistent with Mail Security.
This would allow easier remote menagement.
Ability to group management consoles together so I could gain access to Mail Essentials, Mail Security,Mail Archiver,Web Monitor from one shortcut.

Thanks

Mike

IP Exception on DNS Blacklist

Issue: DNS blacklist is good, but many yahoo.com/yahoo.com.hk and Hotmail SMTP servers are blacklisted occasionally, which make us lost those email.

Suggestion:
Add an Exception list under DNS Blacklist (similar to SPF).  Then we can add those SMTP servers of Hotmail and yahoo.com(.hk) into it.  If you could, I suggest we add a domain (e.g. yahoo.com.hk), then the IP exception list will automatically add all IP addresses in SPF to the IP exception list daily.

Thanks!

Stanley
