This is our spam / virus filter update for customers on the mx1 / mx2.tnpw.net filtering cluster. The information is brought to you by our vendor, Spam Experts.

What’s new this week:

Front-End:

We have extended the “sub admin” functionality that we recently added, so that it is more flexible.  Rather than an all-or-nothing option, you may now grant or deny each individual admin the ability to create their own admin users.  In the “Edit” page for each admin, you’ll find a new “Allow sub-admins” option, with three choices: “allow” (allow the admin to have sub-admins), “deny” (do not allow), or “default” (use the server default setting).

The default choice is controlled by a new option on the “Server Settings” page, called “Auto-enable sub-admins for all admins”.  If you tick this box, then all the admins that are set to use the default will have the ability to create their own admins, and if the box is not ticked, then only those admins that have “Allow” selected will be able to create admins.

Changelog:

Filtering (services):

  • TLS certificate verification has been re-enabled (#22804)
  • The local part of an email address (‘sam’ in ‘[email protected]’) is specified as being case sensitive.  However, many systems treat it as case in-sensitive.  There are new API methods to control whether the local part is treated as case sensitive or insensitive.  Note that the default is case insensitive, which is a change from previous behavior. (#20581)
  • The “block hidden executables” setting now uses the same default system as other settings, where new domains will start with the “use the default” setting, rather than the option disabled (#22817)
  • Improvements to the efficiency of migrating log entries (#19970)
  • The api_delivery_queue() and api_outgoing_delivery_queue() API methods now support paginated requests (#18406)
  • The IP whitelist/blacklist API methods now support paginated requests (#18406)
  • Improvements to the encryption mechanism in archiving (#11813)
