Provide details about sanitization failures

Processing history and email alerts provide now more details about the reasons of sanitization failures.

This will allow the sender to provide the password (for a password protected document or archive) and have the email scanned before it is sent out the organization.

Cleanup functionality for Failed Emails

Dashboard > Failed Emails now has a CLEANUP function. This function makes possible to delete certain failed emails that are older then the timeframe selected.

Scan start entry in processing histories

Email details / PROCESSING HISTORY for Dashboard > Email History, Dashboard > Quarantine and Dashboard > Failed Emails now contains an entry logging when the email was sent for scanning to MetaDefender Core.

Syslog syntax error in case of CEF logs

When logging was set to Common Event Format (CEF), log messages were not valid according to the syslog syntax.

Wrong code reported for refused emails

When an email was refused -due to unlicensed product, for example- with SMTP code 450, erroneously Email Security reported 550 in Refused Emails > Email details.

Contact sharing invitations were corrupted

Microsoft Exchange Server contact sharing invitations got corrupted in the finally delivered emails when Content Disarm & Reconstruction (CDR; Data Sanitization / DS) was enabled in the MetaDefender Core rule utilized by Email Security.

Allowed items appeared in quarantine reports

Allowed (but otherwise quarantined; e.g. emails with sanitized attachments) items were included in quarantine reports even when quarantine reports were configured to contain blocked emails only.
