Sophos Firewall: v18.5 MR3: Feedback and experiences

Hi,

Lots of spam coming through since update, did not change anything. Any clue?

Pills, drugs and sex al getting past the spam checks.

Quarantine is empty, for a few days now, used to have 20~25 mails a day going to quarantine.

Eicar test email did get blocked and quarantined, but that was bij AV engine.

After the update, we had problems with the IP address assignment from the DHCP server for requests via relay. After the rollback to 18.5.2 everything worked again.

UTM did this movement towards SASI and we found an issue in UTM.

Could be potentially the same issue, could you please verify, if you see the same issue on your SFOS Appliance? 

My XG115w rev 3 is letting spam through and it is running v19 eap2 which has the anti-spam update from the 24th March.

Uploading HW-18.5.3_MR-3.SF300-408.sig to XG125 (18.5.1) as inactive image will crash and reboot the appliance :-/

I think I've found a new bottom with XG firmware updates. I mean I hardly remember any release without any significant issues.

did you try do delete and recreate a random DHCP relay object? We have this problem at random times since v18 and are currently on 18.5.2. every some months, all clients fail to get DHCP. Then we recreate a DHCP server or relay object on XG and all is working again. Sophos-style.

In the download page I just see the MR2, when will the MR3 be available?
My license will expire in a couple of days!

they will probably make it available for customers XG in a few weeks.

For MR2 it took I think 10 weeks or so after releasing the version, until our boxes started showing it.

Damned!
