4D WebSTAR 5.3.3 Update Now Available

Significant release includes expanded anti-spam features, new version of 4D WebMail Pro and improvements to Web, Mail and FTP servers

8 July 2004, Wilmslow, UK.

4D UK, publishers of the award-winning 4D Product Line, today announced the release of 4D WebSTAR 5.3.3, a free update to 4D WebSTAR 5 Server Suite which includes 4D Mail.

This update enhances 4D Mails spam filtering capabilities with IP address whitelisting and the ability to filter messages pre-tagged with SpamAssassin headers. Among other new features, 4D WebMail Pro 2.0.3 now enables 4D Mail users to change their passwords.

The 4D WebSTAR 5.3.3 release includes numerous other improvements to the Web, Mail and FTP servers and is available immediately from http://www.4d.com .

"With the 5.3.3 update, 4D WebSTAR Server Suite 5 continues to lead the way in performance, security and the fight for spam-free mailboxes," said Rob Wylie, 4D UK's General Manager. "The new IP whitelisting capability gives administrators even more power when filtering junk mail because they now have the ability to ensure that trusted senders aren't accidentally filtered out."

With IP address whitelisting in 4D Mail, administrators can 'whitelist' specific IP addresses. Messages from these whitelisted locations will be accepted without the normal DNS blacklist or spam filtering checks.

The update also offers spam filter support for messages with SpamAssassin headers. SpamAssassin is an open-source mail filter used to identify spam. By checking for messages that have been pre-filtered by a SpamAssassin installation, 4D Mail can further reduce the influx of inbound spam at the server level.

New features in 4D WebMail Pro 2.0.3 include the ability for 4D Mail users to change their password from their Web interface, the ability to add new data segments to the 4D WebMail Pro Database and improvements in IMAP support.

The 4D WebSTAR 5.3.3 update is free for all licensed 4D WebSTAR 5 customers.
