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.

  • >> Posted 10 May 2018 - "In first stage it will be available at MySophos. Next week, it will be available from within your device for all SFOS v17.0 installations"

    its now 10 days after the initial post and still not available from within my device. "what say you" Sophos?

  • When is SPF check coming for email protection? Spoofed emails are killing me.

  • I'm trying to upload the new firmware on a CR15iNG, but the message occurs: new firmware could not be uploaded. please refer to online help for possible reasons

    anyone else with this problem?

  • I still don't see the update available on any of the XGs I manage. When will it be available for direct download and install?

  • 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.
