A thoroughly modernized AV-SPAM v7.4.0 is now available for BlueOnyx 5212R.

BlueOnyx is thrilled to announce the immediate availability of AV-Spam v7.4.0 for BlueOnyx 5212R, bringing enhanced email security and advanced filtering capabilities to modern mail servers. This latest release strengthens protection against spam and email-borne viruses, offering robust features and seamless integration with the BlueOnyx GUI.

Key Features of AV-Spam v7.4.0

AV-Spam v7.4.0 delivers comprehensive email gateway virus and spam filtering, designed to safeguard BlueOnyx 5212R users from the ever-growing threat of spam and email viruses. Key components include:

• Clam AV Milter: Integrates Clam AV directly into Sendmail, scanning emails for viruses in real-time using the Clam AV daemon. Infected emails are rejected at the MTA level, ensuring maximum protection.
• SpamAssassin and SpamAssassin Milter: Provides daemonized spam filtering, allowing real-time spam detection during email delivery. Users can customize settings via the BlueOnyx GUI to mark, quarantine, or delete spam, with options to disable filtering entirely. Supports both inbound and optional outbound mail scanning.
• Greylist Milter: Reduces spam by temporarily rejecting emails on the first attempt, leveraging the behavior of spam engines that typically do not retry. Administrators can configure IP addresses or ranges to bypass greylisting.
• Milter-GeoIP: Enhances security by restricting SMTP-Auth and SMTP connections from undesired countries. It also provides precise traffic accounting, monitoring email volumes per user or virtual site, and can suspend accounts or block access if limits are exceeded. Notifications via Active Monitor ensure administrators stay informed.
• Automated Updates: Keeps SpamAssassin rules and Clam AV virus definitions up-to-date with automatic downloads.
• GUI Integration: Offers seamless configuration through the BlueOnyx GUI, including service monitoring via Active Monitor and detailed email statistics for spam and virus activity.
