v17.1

Question asked by kevind - 6/26/2020 at 11:32 AM

Answered

Now that MAPI is done, just wondering what's on the agenda for 17.1.

Yes I know version numbers are done, but didn't know how to ask the question otherwise. :)

Also checking to see if this is working as no posts today...

Nice list Ronald,

I would add:

23. Option to discard/reject a mail sent to a mailing list if it's detected as SPAM (actually it's scanned but it's still delivered, so the scan is useless)

24. Mark as spam button optional action (for exemple send the mail to a specific mailbox for learning, or execute a custom script

25. Centralized IDS logs with the possibility to enable detailled logs to better understand why some IPs get blacklisted

26. Two-factor authentication (2FA) for system administrator accounts.

27. Disallow non-authenticated SMTP sessions on SMTP ports (unless the IP is whitelisted)

28. IP whitelisting for webmail and other protocols. Numerous customers have asked for the ability to only allow logins to accounts from specific IP addresses.

29. Reading pane turn off functionality so we stop losing customers

30. Grouping emails as waiting to this version was what we were told a year ago

31. Whitelisting based on 'hostname' and/or 'PTR record'.

For e.g: To only accept messages from the SpamExperts filtering servers, one need to allow emails based on hostname "delivery.antispamcloud.com". This hostname contains all active delivery IP addresses. Alternatively, one can allow traffic from any IP address with the PTR record *.antispamcloud.com.

32. Ability to view attachment before sending an email to make sure the right attachment was added to the email.

33 - Better reporting like we had on v15

34 - A more fluid re-designed or "refreshed" web interface.

The current interface is good, but its now years old, and the popups are so annoying - this is an older style of web designing (but could be an option if you really want a new window which I also do want sometimes - it has its purpose, but popups for every calendar entry, every new message is annoying for me). Bascially a bit of modern love in an already great interface - a hybrid between Exchange and Gmail.

SmarterTools - how about the ability for you to create something/somewhere we can all properly vote on these features? Such as UserVoice

Agreed, these forum upvote ticks dont really seem to do anything... Something like uservoice would I think be better suited.

Are the SM folks reading these suggestions and taking notes, or are we just wasting our time?

That's a good question Netmate. They are very reactive on some other topics, but on this one not even an acknowledgement that they heard us.

I tried to ask about it in a support ticket (about another issue... but well it was worth a try) and the question got ignored aswell.

I'd probably break some of these up into their own threads, and maybe not all at once otherwise they could be missed.
Especially some of the bigger ones like Encryption and a thread detailing interface stuff that combines the ideas of "More User Interface Options "+"Make top icons colorful." + "Deploy additional themes beyond Dark/Light. "

However, throwing ideas on a massive heap that's over 30 entries long, it's gonna be a bit daunting to even start to engage with some of these ideas on a single thread. I like some of these ideas like encryption, but having its own thread would allow us to discuss different encryption types and even types of signing on emails, for example rather than "Easy Email Encryption".

EDIT:
Alternative theming could be useful, adding a "HighVis" or some accessibility color options would be nice.
EDIT:
13 is nice too, I believe we have something like that on a list already. Consolidating all the delivery information for a message into one place easy to view. Combining info that would normally be shotgunned into different logs like SMTP, Spam Checking, Delivery, etc.
EDIT:
11 the XMPP chat/top right chat window should already be showing you the availability of the users on your domain, does this not work for you?
