New Beasties have been ready for a few days. We are talking about the release of BitDefender Security for Mail/Samba Servers version 3.0.2 for FreeBSD. Despite the version number, this is the first maintenance release for this platform from the 3.0.x series and it addresses a number of issues reported by our clients.

Besides the usual bug fixes, this release brings two new things: a set of antispam engines with better signature support, and an improved MIME handling library. All these are just a small step towards moving a big part of the scanning process from disk to memory. More to come via Live! update.

We encourage everyone to upgrade or simply test and report any issues you might encounter. If it’s a bug, we will try to address it via an update. If it’s a feature, then we will add it to our todo list for the next major version.

Below is a list of issues of which we are already aware:

• the RemoteAdmin quarantine does not render non-ISO-8859-1 mails;
• the LDAP import does not work on group names with non-ascii characters;
• not all daemons reload all their settings after a `bdsafe reload <daemon>’ command;
• the Samba quarantine does not support search on location/file name;
• the quarantine operations are case sensitive and require wildcards for exact string match;
• the content filter attachment rules are applied only for the first match;
• bdqmail leaves temporary files if qmail-smtpd exits due to a SIGTERM;
• custom header and footer templates are lost after an upgrade;
• all new update locations have the signature checking enabled by default after an upgrade;

The installation kits can be downloaded from here (Mail Servers) and here (Samba). More information about the products is available here (Mail Servers) and here (Samba).
