EOL replacement of Sophos PureMessage SPAM detection solution on June 13, 2023

Sophos PureMessage, a back-end SPAM detecting solution SCS Computing has used for many years, will reach end of life on July 20, 2023. SpamAssassin, a replacement solution, has been in place since the beginning of the year and we do not expect a significant impact to our community.

This change will take place on June 13, 2023 and affects all scs-managed mail domains. If you have any custom filters that depend on PureMessage’s labels, update them.

  • X-Pmx-Version
  • X-PMX_SPF

If you do not use PureMessages labels for filtering mail, no action is needed.
