We've just released SpamFilter v3.5.4.692 in the registered user area.It is to be considered a *beta* build that is able to scan within PDF files and is successfullyidentifying the "stock spam" embedded in them. This new filter isenabled by default and inherits the same settings as the "standard"image filter.

Please note that this new release also includes several major internalimprovements and bug fixes. In addition to the new PDF filter, the mostnotable change involves a bug in SpamFilter Enterprise. We discovered a problem with all the triggers inthe database (see release notes below). To fix it, SpamFilter Enterprise willautomatically delete ALL triggers and recreate them when it is startedfor the first time.

We would have liked to perform some additional testing before pre-releasing this version. We feel however that the recent increase of stock spam embedded in PDF files required a quick response.


// New to VersionNumber = '3.5.4.692';
{TODO -cNew : Added new filter to scan images within PDF attachments for spam}
{TODO -cFix : In SFE, triggers in the database were not identifyingmultiple updates to the same tables, if they occurred within 5 secondsof each other. A DB patch SQL script will be automatically downloadedand executed once by SpamFilter upon startup. The script will deleteall triggers and recreate them}
{TODO -cFix : In installations with multiple SpamFilter Enterprise,changes made directly against the database may not be visible by otherservers}
{TODO -cFix : A specific set of circusmtances involving "unfilteredEmails" with the "tag" or "tagsubject" modifiers, and multiple,separate emails within the same SMTP session, could cause emails to bedelivered to some unfiltered users if a recipient is in the unfilteredlist}
{TODO -cFix : Exception occurred duringTFilterObject.ReadFilterFromFile (2): Access violation at address00401981 in module 'SpamFilterSvc.exe'.}
{TODO -cFix : SpamFilter Enteprise GUI *appeared* frozen during startupwhen processing several customized domain. The ativity windows nowscrolls to show current status during startup}
{TODO -cNew : When adding duplicate entries in theblacklist/whitelists, SpamFilter will automatically remove theduplicate from the database as well, not just in the GUI as before(except for MAPS and Keywords blacklists)}
