We are pleased to announce the release of Warden Anti-spam and Virus Protection 2.0 under General Availability. All users are encouraged to upgrade. This release has passed Plesk certification and is now available in the Plesk extension directory.This is a major release that represents over a year of development work so users will be required to go though the application setup wizard after upgrading.
To Upgrade
1. Login to your server and run the command: touch /usr/local/psa/admin/htdocs/modules/warden/upgrade_me
2. Login to Plesk and go to Extensions -> Updates -> Check Warden Anti-spam and Virus Protection -> Press the Update button to upgrade the extension.
3. Click on the Warden extension and go though the setup wizard.
Amavis Content Filter
We've added full support for the Amavis content filter. Amavis has been the gold standard used by large email providers for over a decade. The Plesk spam filter, spamass-milter, and clamav-milter have been deprecated.
Hierarchical Policies
We've added a policy area for managing server wide, domain, and mailbox filter policy settings. Policies are hierarchical meaning that you can set server wide, domain, and mailbox level filter policies. All child policies will inherit from the parent unless they are overwritten at the child level.
Real-time Spam and Ham Training
We've added real-time spam and ham training using the dovecot IMAP service. Messages are trained automatically when they are moved to and from a mailboxes spam folder. Bayes learning and Txrep reputation data uses SQL and stored in the Warden database for increased performance.
Statistics and Reporting
We've added a statistics area for viewing incoming and outgoing statistics for each domain or mailbox. Every message is now logged by Amavis even if spam filtering is disabled for a mailbox.
Quarantine Support
We've added a quarantine area for managing incoming and outgoing quarantined email for each domain or mailbox. Quarantine spam, viruses, banned attachments, and mail with non-compliant email headers. Customers can login to manage their quarantined messages. False positives can easily be trained and released back to the original recipients mailbox.
Spam Reports
We've added a spam report tool under tools to see what score and spam rules are matched by a message.
Spam Learning
We've added a spam learn tool under tools to train a message as spam, ham, or to forget a previously trained message.
Policy Migrator
We've added a policy migrator tool for importing old Plesk spam filter settings into Warden or for exporting policy settings from one Warden instance into another.
