Upgrade Instructions

MailMarshal SEG 7.2 supports a direct upgrade from MailMarshal SMTP 6.7 and later versions.  This is a change from earlier MailMarshal SMTP releases. To upgrade from a version prior to 6.7, first upgrade to version 6.7.

Please review the MailMarshal User Guide before upgrading.

For general information about upgrading issues see the remainder of this section.

Full details about upgrading from specific versions can be found in the following Trustwave Knowledge Base articles:

To upgrade from a version prior to 5.5 (not recommended), first upgrade to version 5.5, then see the above articles.

Changes in Database Structure and Prerequisites

MailMarshal no longer supports SQL 2000 or MSDE 2000.

You can access a supported SQL Express version from the Prerequisites tab of the MailMarshal installation package. The "With SQL Express" version of the package also allows you to install SQL Express during the main MailMarshal installation.

Upgrading a Single Server

To upgrade a single MailMarshal server from version 6.7 or above, install the new version over your existing version. You do not need to uninstall your existing version. The database will be upgraded in place, if necessary.

Upgrading an Array of Servers

After upgrading the Array Manager you can upgrade the processing servers through the Configurator, with no need to log on to the processing servers. For more information, see the Upgrading section in the User Guide.

Notes on Upgrading

Note: The information in this document is current as of the date of publication. To check for any later information, please see Trustwave Knowledge Base article Q15595.

Uninstalling

MailMarshal can be installed in a variety of scenarios. For full information on uninstalling MailMarshal from a production environment, see the MailMarshal SEG User Guide.

To uninstall a trial installation on a single computer:

  1. Close all instances of the MailMarshal Configurator, MailMarshal Console, and MailMarshal Reports.
  2. Use Add/Remove Programs from the Windows Control Panel to remove MailMarshal SEG.
  3. Use Add/Remove Programs from the Windows Control Panel to remove additional components you may have installed, such as Web components or Reports.
  4. If you have installed any components (such as the Configurator, Console, Web components, or Reports) on other computers, uninstall them.
  5. If you have installed SQL Express specifically to support MailMarshal and no other applications are using it, uninstall SQL Express.

MM-2265 SpamCensor, SpamBotCensor, and Spam Category scores are available as variables for substitution.
MM-2350 Extraction of IP addresses from header lines could incorrectly include other strings in dotted format. This could result in false triggers on DNS Blacklists and country lookups. Fixed.

MM-4036 Email viewed in the Console could be unpacked differently than during email processing, because custom file types were not applied in the Console unpacking. Fixed.
MM-4058 In some earlier versions the POP3 service would be started automatically at system restart even if not required, and could prevent configuration reload. Fixed.
MM-4071 Category script evaluation includes additional exception handling and logging.

MM-3901 The optional notification emails for automatic updates (SpamCensor updates) are now generated for failed updates as well as successful updates.
MM-3924 TLS negotiation could fail when using a chained certificate due to a problem with the TLS/SSL library. Fixed.
MM-3927 The stored procedure used to purge statistics data in version 6.9 was inefficient. Fixed. Note that on upgrade, irrelevant old records are purged and a SQL table is re-indexed.

MM-4013 In version 6.9.5 and above, processing logs were not appended to the "report as spam/not spam" information. Fixed.
MM-4015 Global exclusions to BTM rewriting are remotely updated through the automatic update service (SpamCensor updates).
MM-4018 TextCensor scanning was applied to the top level of Office 2007 documents, resulting in false positives. Fixed: for these documents, TextCensor now applies only to extracted text.
