Hi, We've a number of XG86s and a pair of UTM 330s, so we are quite familiar with Sophos kit. We have an old and wheezing Symantec Email Gateway which sits between our on-premise exchange (we are midway through a hybrid o365 migration) and Mimecast…

Suddenly seeing a lot of rejected emails. Hover over the rejected in the log shows " Sophos Anti Spam Engine has blocked this Email because the sender IP is blacklisted" These same senders can be fine within minutes before/after these rejected emails…

Hi, I may have made a big mistake. Does the XGS not have a disk cache for email? I'm moving from the UTM and it never occurred to me that the product line that ISN'T on its way out wouldn't have the same/similar functionality (albeit managed quite differently…

Hi, I have emails with an 88% probability of spam that are not being quarantined. I would like to change this check: for example, if an email has the 70% of spam probability, then will be quarantined. Is it possibile?

So, we upgraded to 18.5.3 and receive a lot more SPAM than usual I created two cases and Sophos has no solultion to fix this at the moment. So that is enhanced plus support value ... The only option would be a downgrade to 18.5.2 or wait a few month…

I was wondering if anyone else is having issues with the email filter, the additional subscription on-prem Exchange 2019 server XGS3100 is the latest build (upgraded from UTM) the spam filter is useless and letting through a lot of spam, does…

Hello, in the last few days we have repeatedly had the problem that the MTA has sent the SMTP-Packets to our internal Exchange-Server without an IP-Address (0.0.0.0). We use version 19 (SFV4C6 / 19.0.0-B317) as VM in Hyper-V. We can only solve the…

Mail log and Spool Log pages are not refreshed . they show old status.

Hi, On our XGS, I'm trying to figure out the purpose of "Email address(es)/domain(s)" under Email > Address groups. At first I thought it was a way of explicitly listing spammers, but our own domain is listed there, along with Premium and Standard…

Today i had to reboot my FW SFOS 18.5 MR3 After the reboot the anti-spam service did not automatically restart, manual starting the service is not possibe.

After the 18.5.3 MR-3 update control center shows that SMTPD is dead. Via advanced console 5 - 3 I restarted the smtpd service service smtpd:restart -d -s nosync. service antispam:restart -d -s nosync. This did not solve it. I tried stopping…

Hi all I see a lot of relaying attempts from specific country every day, i am tired of adding the new IP everyday to the firewall rule since they use a new IP every time I can make a NAT for this country to re direct their request to fake server specifying…

We are migriting SG to XGS and one missing feature is that we have to add networks to E-Mail Exceptions. E. g. we often had problems using greylisting with O365 or Google-Mail. They have lists of networks that should be excluded in the greylisting. The…

HI Today I had a problem that almost all incoming emails were being listed as rm blacklist by Sophos XG450 (SFOS 18.0.5 MR-5-Build586) in MTA mode, analyzing some were clearly wrong, like Gmail senders. Analyzing, I removed the use of the RBL "Standard…
