We are happy to announce the release of ORF 6.10. This version introduces new filtering options, a range of usability improvements, and refinements across the board.

What is new in 6.10?

ORF now officially supports Microsoft® Exchange Subscription Edition (SE) and Windows Server 2025.

A new Insert Security Banner action has been added, allowing you to add a warning message to blacklisted emails to help alert recipients to suspicious content. We have also introduced an option to send a copy of the email to an alternate recipient without redirecting the original message, giving you more flexibility in how filtered emails are handled.

In the DMARC Test, new local policy options make it easier to handle cases where the sender’s identity can not be verified. We have also added a new “vulnerable signature” DKIM error type, targeting signatures that use the “l=” tag, which can pose a security risk. The SPF Test can now include the queried domain’s SPF record in log entries for better diagnostics.

Greylisting has been improved to reduce delays caused by mail providers, like Google and Microsoft, which often retry email delivery from different IP addresses, triggering unnecessary temporary rejections and slowing down message processing.

After installing updates, a new feedback window will appear, allowing you to quickly share your thoughts with us.

Along with these enhancements, ORF 6.10 includes a variety of stability improvements, bugfixes, and further refinements that help ensure smoother controls and more reliable email filtering. These updates address a wide range of issues to improve overall performance and usability.

Thank you for using ORF. We hope you enjoy the improvements in version 6.10.

After a lengthy development, ORF 6.9 is finally here, with new features and a host of improvements, and important bug fixes.

This release introduces the integrated GeoIP Blacklist, allowing you to filter emails by geographic origin for better control over your email traffic. The Log Viewer now shows Sender Location information, simplifying the process of tracing email sources. Additionally, the Reporting Tool now features GeoIP blacklist statistics for better insight into your geographic filtering.

The user interface has been improved with configuration errors and warnings highlighted for easier troubleshooting. The DKIM Test now offers a list-type configuration interface for the ‘Blacklist on neutral or permerror’ option, enhancing customization. Attachment management has been simplified, allowing you to resend quarantined attachments in a single email. We have added a new Network Settings page to centralize DNS and proxy settings, and the System Status page now displays DNS and HTTP proxy status information to help identify potential network-related configuration issues.

We have also added automated, but optional, Error Reporting feature to the ORF service for a smoother and more proactive issue resolution.

Several key bugs have been fixed, including issues with DKIM accuracy, DNS resolution, SURBL blacklisting, and attachment filtering, ensuring a more effective and reliable filtering performance.

But that is not all! For a complete overview of all the changes and to download the latest version, see the Change Log and visit the Client Portal.

Thank you for your continued support, and we look forward to your feedback on ORF 6.9.

Dear ORF community,

Effective today, the price of ORF Fusion subscription has increased.

We understand that nobody likes to hear about a price increase, but we wanted to be transparent about the reasons behind it. Despite our efforts to maintain our prices over the past six years, the current economic situation has made it necessary for us to review and adjust our pricing policy.

The pricing adjustment applies to both new and existing ORF Fusion subscriptions that expire after today. If you currently have an active ORF subscription, your last payment method used will be automatically charged at the new price on the expiry date.

We are grateful for your support and feedback, which has been essential in shaping ORF into the product it is today. Our goal is to keep improving and adapting ORF to better meet your needs, and we are committed to making that happen.

Should you have any questions about this change or our pricing and licensing in general, feel free to contact us. We’re here to help.

Sincerely,

The Vamsoft ORF Crew

ORF 6.8 has been released with a host of new features and improvements.

The first notable feature is Plus Addressing, which enables the filtering and validation of recipient email addresses that contain plus tags (e.g. user+plustag@example.org). This allows for greater control and flexibility in email management, providing both users and administrators with more options for filtering and organizing incoming emails.

ORF 6.7 has arrived! With the latest update, our goal was to to make it easier to overview and navigate ORF logs, and to help administrators manage quarantined attachments directly from the ORF management tools. Logged events can now be displayed in a grouped view, so you no longer have to search for which event belongs to which email. We have introduced new columns, new log sorting options and a new dialog for managing and resending quarantined attachments, along with other improvements. For the full list of changes and details, see the ORF Change Log.

If you are ready to update, download the ORF 6.7 installer from the Client Portal.
