Hi XG Community!

We've finished SFOS v17.0.8 MR8. This release is available in stages. In first stage it will be available at MySophos. We then start with a small amount of slots for v17.0 and will increase those over time. Later it will be available to v16.05 installations as well.

Update: SFOS v17.0.8 MR8 is now available to all SFOS installations. It's also available via SFM/CFM.

  • My recommendation for mail filtering is to buy the 10IP software license for UTM9.  You might get your sales contact to give that to you for free.  The mail filter product on the XG is abysmal and from what I understand they can't simply port everything the UTM9 does over to it.  Do not go down that road.  I tried twice and got burned both times.  The annual cost for the UTM9 Software License for 10IP Email filter only is retail like $80.  You don't need it to have full guard, network protection, or anything else.  Let the XG handle that.  But after I've done this for 5 email implementations, I've been relieved on a stress level you might imagine.
