September 21, 2020

MetaDefender Email Gateway Security 5.1.0 is a feature release focusing on the new anti-spam and anti-phishing capability of the product.

New & improved

Anti-spam and anti-phishing capability

As a great step forward, Email Gateway Security 5.1.0 provides anti-spam and anti-phishing capabilities. Integrating one of the best solutions, we have 99.7% spam-catch-rate with 0.00% false positives and 98.2% phishing-catch-rate. For details about configuring and operating Email Gateway Security’s anti-spam and anti-phishing, see Configuration/Policy and Operating/Phishing and spam respectively.

Simplified TLS configuration for the UI

It is now supported to configure TLS for the web management console from the GUI. For details see Configuration/Transport Layer Security.

Classifications in history & quarantine

To better reflect the risk level associated to a certain email and for easier understanding what potential risks an email carries, Email Gateway Security introduced classifications of emails. For details see Operating/Email classifications.

Rotation of Nginx log files

To save disk space, it is supported now to rotate Nginx logs. For details see Configuration/Registry configuration.

Session timeout settings in the UI

Session timeout can now be configured from Settings > Security.

Propagate TLS configuration for the UI

When TLS is enabled for the Email Gateway Security bundle edition, then this setting is now propagated to the bundled MetaDefender Core instance’s UI, too. The configuration in the server profile is automatically upgraded from http to https. For details about editions see Installation/Licensing. For details about TLS configuration see Configuration/Transport Layer Security. For details about server profiles see Configuration/Server profiles.

Fixed

Public rescan over TLS enabled port

When TLS was enabled for the web management console, the TLS enablement was not propagated to the public rescan port and as a consequence the public rescan page remained on clear text HTTP.
