After klick on the Spamfoo Dashoboard I got a new browser tab with the answer: SpamFoo dashboard is unvailable.

Yeah, same issue. The biggest problem is that, in this state, the server will bounce all your mail as undeliverable. If you go to Troubleshooting/services, you see that the stupid foo service hasn't started. Try starting it, I had to reboot the box to get it to start.

I'm a little pissed they are forcing us to test their beta crap on our production mail servers!

It needs an off switch! or better still, an opt-out!
Agree!

I gave up! No mail getting through, everything you send to the server bounces back... And there doesn't appear to be a way to roll back to the previous version; it won't let you.

<*****@*****.***>: host mail.*****.***[1***.***.***.***] said: 554 Sending
    address not accepted due to spam filter (in reply to MAIL FROM command)

And that was sent to a Proton-established address.

No matter what I do, I cannot keep the stupid SpamFoo service running, and that, in turn, is killing LDAP and XMPP.

I have rolled the server back to last night's backup after backing up mail folders.

I won't be going anywhere near another upgrade until they make SpamPoo optional and disableable, don't need to be wasting a whole day messing with BETA crud I didn't want. That'll teach me for thinking that being a BETA it would be something you have to authorise before you get stuck with it.

Cracking job SmrterTools, that has blown 12 years of confidence in your work!
This build should be pulled asap!

Yeah, defo a bum release, very unusual for Smartertools, but fortunately I am a backup aholic and rebuilding the box to last night's backup, then restoring mailobox data with a backup before the roll-back seems to have fixed the issue, and my mailbox has just filled up with messages from angry customers :-(

Best advice on this build - TREAT IT LIKE COVID - STAY AT LEAST 2MILES AWAY :-) At least on production gear.

I'll take another look when SpanPoo is optional. Right now, at least on my build, it stinks.

Don't they usually warns in the changelog if rollback is not possible ?

Thanks guys for the reports. I dodged a bullet, because I was about to upgrade our prod rig this weekend, for some bug fixes we were waiting for...

Dodged as well.... thanks for the quick feedback.

Usually, but I reread the email and saw nothing about a rollback, so I probably would have hesitated for a few days myself.
