We have officially released the new SpamFilter ISP and SpamFilter Enterprise v4.7.0.125. This release is available for download in the registered user area of our website. A free Evaluation copy is also available for all other users. 

As always, this upgrade is free for all users with a current software maintenance.

There are two major change in the 4.7 version of SpamFilter compared to the previous v4.6 is the ability to view, monitor and configure the SpamFilter service running in the background via a separate GUI client that runs on the currently logged-in user's desktop. There is no more need to rely on Windows' Interactive Services Detection and access the service via the special restricted console that Windows uses to access a service's user interface.

SpamFilter v4.7 includes support for the 64bit versions of Windows. Separate binaries are included for x86 and the x64 platforms.

As a reminder, the optional Norman antivirus plugin has been replaced with an AV engine from CYRUS (also known for their F-PROT antivirus solution). This plugin is available for both the 32bit and 64bit versions of SpamFilter.

The full list of changes since the latest official release (4.6.0.113) is as follows:

// New to VersionNumber = '4.7.0.125';

{TODO -cFix : No changes in SpamFilter since 4.7.0.124, but added a database patch to add missing cascading constraints that prevented records from tbl_Filtersettings & tblBL_Countries to be deleted when their corresponding domain from deleted from the list of local domain names}


// New to VersionNumber = '4.7.0.124';

// New to VersionNumber = '4.6.1.119';

{TODO -cNew : Added an X-SF-AuthUser header to indicate the authenticated user who sent the email. Option is customizeable via SpamFilter.ini using parameters XAuthUserString and AddHeaderForAuthUsers}

{TODO -cFix : When added in 4.5.0.62 the ability to search for keywords in the decoded subject, SpamFilter stopped matching for keywords against the raw, undecoded subject. We now search for keyword in both the decoded and the raw Subject lines}

{TODO -cNew : In addition to the username, SpamFilter will add to the logfile the password and the IP used for an unsuccessful AUTH LOGIN attempt to help determine intentional password guessing attempts or user error}

{TODO -cNew : Added parameter LogInvalidPasswords to SpamFilter.ini file to prevent logging of password during failed AUTH LOGIN attempts}
