I'd like to have the ability to have certain users that get a lot of spam to go through an additional list of spam checks vs. the normal spam check.

Out of band system alerts. Maybe SMS.
I recently had a DNS failure, and although the system put forth an alert, I didn't receive them until I diagnosed the problem and replaced the DNS entry with a new one.

I would love to see more robust reporting options. Among them:
- The ability to report on more than one address at a time.
- The ability to save commonly-used reports as templates.
- The ability to save reports to something other than HTML
For example: each of my users has up to 7 internal email addresses (we are part of a much larger organization, which mandates this for reasons unknown to me). It is extremely cumbersome to generate any kind of meaningful report on a per-user basis. Essentially, what I end up doing is the following:
- Generate X reports per user, save them as HTML
- Transfer them from the DMZ to the trusted network
- Open each one, copy/paste into Excel
- Format it properly
If all goes well, it takes about 15-20 minutes for the users with the most addresses. This is just silly. If we could select multiple addresses and output to CSV - which should be "easy" since we're querying a DB to begin with - this type of task would take 2-3 minutes tops.
I appreciate that the reporting database schema is posted on the GFI Knowledgebase, but IMHO these features (perhaps with the exception of report-templating) should be standard in this kind of application.

Whitelist for specific users/groups would be nice. For example, whitelist emails from Microsoft to members of the IT department domain group. This would solve also the issue whereby some users mark an email to blacklist (because people know not to use unsubscribe links) where for others it is legitimate.
A better view as to what is on the blacklist, whitelist etc would also be useful - the scrollable lists are not manageable when you have many addresses listed.

Would like to see the ability to strip x-headers with the ability to specify those to leave alone.
I get tired of watching my named properties grow on my exchange server.

It would be interesting to add a scripting module.
So it would be possible, for each incoming/outgoing mail to check it manually.
by example : if (sender like "%@mydomain.com" and recipients contain "me@mydomain.com" and header["xxx"] like "value") return false;

It would be nice to have the ability to check outgoing "Out of Office" replies and stop them if the "To" is not in the Custom Whitelist.
Example:
Spam email from spammer@spammy.com gets through.
User has "Out of Office" reply set and sends it to spammer@spammy.com to let them know.
M.E. sees the "Out of Office" being sent, checks "spammer@spammy.com" if they are in the Custom Whitelist.
If not, delete the outgoing message. If they are, allow the email to continue.
We only want people whom we do business with to know someone is out of office.
Users have been hit before, each time when "Out of Office" is set.
Merci buckets!

I'd like to add my vote to several of the feature suggestions already put forward in this thread:
- Logging to SQL Server or similar RDBMS.
- A quarantine processing facility that would allow messages to be "released" on their way, deleted, whitelisted, or blacklisted. Although
I currently do this manually, it can get labor intensive and is always a drag when a user replies back to the quarantine mailbox by accident.
- More sophisticated auto-whitelist management, including removal or non-addition of redundant
entries (e.g. bob@fred.com when *@fred.com is already in the whitelist) and configurable expiration of entries.
- The ability to apply modules or module priorities based on an individual user or user group.
There are quite a few other great suggestions in this thread, but the above would be my personal priorities.
Regards,
Jeff

A couple of features i would find useful is:
1. Automatic daily/weekly/monthy/etc. log rotation .. the logs for the individual modules get huge over time.
2. The ability to "sandbox" spam on a system where users can sign on to a web interface to review, with a "digest" email notifying them of senders and subjects once a day. That would avoid SPAM from ever making it to the mail server if GFI was on a server before exchange.
We've had occasional instances where a particular piece of spam clogs up the queues in exhcange. It would be nice if spam was stopped before it made it to the exchange server but was still held for a period of time for users to review if necessary.

Keyword tag delimeters - 6.Aug.2009 2:56:37 AM

FR:
Add delimeters to the keyword tag that's applied to the subject.
For example, a recent email was blocked with "Found word(s) free guaranteed if you received this in error in the Text body" appended.
It's fairly easy in this case to determine the phrases, but it would be much easier to analyse if it displayed something like this: "Found word(s) ["free" & "guaranteed", "if you received this in error"] in the Text body"
Note that because one of the keyword entries is "free AND guaranteed", it is useful to see this in the tag for helping to locate the entry in the keyword list.

Another useful feature would be to break down the SPAM counts per-user in reporting.
It would be useful to see how the amount of incoming SPAM breaks down for each email address.
I have a client using GFI who insists on having some of email addresses on their website but also complains about high amounts of spam.
It would be good to be able to prove to them that the addresses listed on the site are the ones that receive the most spam and that they should consider another method of having their customers contact them via the internet aside from mailto: links on their web site.
