Important expiration details

Previous versions of VIPRE Email Security include third-party anti-spam components with a built-in expiration date. These components will stop working sometime between May 2019 and May 2020, depending on when you purchased the product.

It is VIPRE’s strong recommendation that you update to this latest release as soon as possible to avoid any possible service outages due to the embedded third-party licenses expiring.

Known issues and workarounds

This section lists issues that are known at the time of release. In some cases, these are bugs in which we are working to resolve with a subsequent release. Other items may be due to causes outside of our control, such as bugs with other vendors' software. In all cases, we have tried to provide a workaround for you to consider, in case you should experience the issue.

Spam filtering is unable to quarantine messages [NJA-798]

Symptom: In rare cases, installing Exchange 2016 CU12 or Exchange 2013 CU22 can cause Exchange issues which impact Email Security Server's Spam filtering.

You may observe the following

Scored messages are delivered to the inbox instead of the Spam folder
The error message "The request failed with HTTP status 401: Unauthorized" will display in the Email Security logs

Workaround: We are currently working to identify the cause of the issue. Until we have more information or a fix available, we recommend not updating to Exchange 2016 CU12 or Exchange 2013 CU22 at this time.

If you have already updated to either of these versions of Exchange and are experiencing this issue, please contact VIPRE Support for assistance.
