We've just released SpamFilter v3.5.4.692 in the registered user area. It is to be considered a *beta* build that is able to scan within PDF files and is successfully identifying the "stock spam" embedded in them. This new filter is enabled by default and inherits the same settings as the "standard" image filter.

Please note that this new release also includes several major internal improvements and bug fixes. In addition to the new PDF filter, the most notable change involves a bug in SpamFilter Enterprise. We discovered a problem with all the triggers in the database (see release notes below). To fix it, SpamFilter Enterprise will automatically delete ALL triggers and recreate them when it is started for the first time.

We would have liked to perform some additional testing before pre-releasing this version. We feel however that the recent increase of stock spam embedded in PDF files required a quick response.


// New to VersionNumber = '3.5.4.692';
{TODO -cNew : Added new filter to scan images within PDF attachments for spam}
{TODO -cFix : In SFE, triggers in the database were not identifying multiple updates to the same tables, if they occurred within 5 seconds of each other. A DB patch SQL script will be automatically downloaded and executed once by SpamFilter upon startup. The script will delete all triggers and recreate them}
{TODO -cFix : In installations with multiple SpamFilter Enterprise, changes made directly against the database may not be visible by other servers}
{TODO -cFix : A specific set of circusmtances involving "unfiltered Emails" with the "tag" or "tagsubject" modifiers, and multiple, separate emails within the same SMTP session, could cause emails to be delivered to some unfiltered users if a recipient is in the unfiltered list}
{TODO -cFix : Exception occurred during TFilterObject.ReadFilterFromFile (2): Access violation at address 00401981 in module 'SpamFilterSvc.exe'.}
{TODO -cFix : SpamFilter Enteprise GUI *appeared* frozen during startup when processing several customized domain. The ativity windows now scrolls to show current status during startup}
{TODO -cNew : When adding duplicate entries in the blacklist/whitelists, SpamFilter will automatically remove the duplicate from the database as well, not just in the GUI as before (except for MAPS and Keywords blacklists)}
