29th July 2024 

These are the release notes for the July 2024 tranche of updates. We actively update and maintain our software packages as well as infrastructure to keep your sites running as fast as possible.

The changes in this release are as follows:

• Cluster Updates - All nodes within the Antispam cluster have received the latest security and feature patches, completed earlier this month.
• Domain Blocks

We have now implemented blocking of several domains which were identified to be sending malicious or spam emails to our customers. These were verified through abuse reports, and can no longer send email to clients using our Antispam Gateway. For transparency, we list the blocked domains below.

• IP Blocks

We have implemented a number of blocks against IP Addresses that consistency sent spam emails. We typically block IP Addresses when our monitoring identifies that a single IP is sending lots of emails from different domain names, indicating a malicious actor. For transparency, we list the blocked IP addresses below.

103.159.85.251
193.84.71.24
202.164.235.230

We also regularly update our rulesets to provide you with the best antispam experience. Our rules are updated daily. We also contact range holders of domains and IP addresses to raise abuse reports with them, doing our part in protecting the overall web. 

Feature Requests

• In Consideration: Following a request from a client, we are considering building an interface on our new website that allows users to search for an IP or Domain and you'll be able to see in realtime if it's being blocked by our gateway.
