Hello FresnoDoug,
In the MailEssentials configuration please go to General > Version Information > Properties.
Here you will find your Version and Build number.
If you currently do not have 20080326 installed you can download it via http://kbase.gfi.com/showarticle.asp?id=KBID003323.
Kind regards,

I just patched my ME12, however, please clarify if http://kbase.gfi.com/showarticle.asp?id=KBID003322 the procedure should be removed after the aforementioned patch. (Do I have to remove also blackscatter and blackstatterer from DNS BL?)
Also I have seen valid message in the spam folder since blackscatter(er) is blocking them.

I have to update my build before I can install the patch. Will I lose any of my setting when I remove the old build and install the new one?

Is there a procedure somewhere for installing the 20080326 build?

It's a pretty easy install. Once you've downloaded the setup, simply run the .MSI installer and it will begin the installation. It will ask you to remove the existing installation, but as long as you reinstall to the same directory you won't have any problems.

Ok, i've just updated to the latest build and applied the patch. I didn't experience any problems so i'll see how it goes. Well done for releasing a patch so quickly GFI.

I second that - thanks for releasing the patch in good time. As I'm sure we're all aware, software updates MUST be tested before being released (unless we want to go back to the days of old with having 'numerous' issues after an update had been released by a certain large software corporation)?! We are a distributor and have had 'many' customers waiting for this patch (patiently - luckily enough). I have now applied it to several sites, and will wait and see...

Thanks all for your feedback. Although the patch has been successfully tested, and was able to block the majority of the NDR spam emails, we would still like to hear your comments on the efficiency of the patch on your installations.
After installing the patch, there is no need to keep 'ips.backscatterer.org' in your DNS Blacklists, however leaving it there will do no harm. You should however monitor the legitimate emails which may be blocked by ips.backscatterer.org.
Thanks

Hi Jan,
Patch release note is speaking about enabling ase_scandsn, but not the other things from http://kbase.gfi.com/showarticle.asp?id=KBID003322 Would it be reasonable to remove "undeliverable" etc from the KeywordChecking and ips.backscatterer.or from DNS Blacklist? Of course, I could try it after some "living with the patch" :)

Patch installed
Removed DNS blacklisting due to too much false positives
Bayesian, URI and keyword are doing a good job!
thank GFI

Hi shield,
The knowledgebase article showed how to use keyword chekcing to block the following keywords:
Undeliverable:
Delivery Status Notification (Failure)
Returned mail
Undelivered Mail
failure notice
Mail could not be delivered
This was done to block ALL NDR emails, including legitimate ones.
After installing the patch, this is not required, since the patch targets NDR Spam specifically. Therefore legitimate NDR emails will not be blocked. Because of this, it is recommended to update the keyword checking list and remove the above mentioned keywords from the list.
Please check my previous post regarding 'ips.backscatterer.org'

Thank you, Nicholas. Just needed a confirmation. At the moment, no anomalies observed.

Hi nintenDRU,
Yes, you would need to re-apply the patch after upgrading to the latest build.
Let us know how it goes.
