Hi Pete, Thanks for clearing that up. I believe I'll take your initial advice and skip the make-install. However it's good to know I could do it that way for future updates.

In that case it should be safe to do make install and just skip those steps since your configuration is already happy.

I think that should work. The only thing that's really different is SNFServer. You could stop after make and then replace your SNFServer binary leaving everything else in place. I don't think there are any other gotchas.

Hi Pete, I have a couple of questions about upgrading. We will be upgrading SNF4SA running on Ubuntu 14.04 with Zimbra email server. I previously compiled the source code to install SNF4SA. Can I compile the latest version and run the make-install to overwrite the existing version? If so, do I need to re-apply our license information to the configuration files, etc.? Are there any other gotcha's I should be aware of? Thanks, Daniel - Original Message - From: "Pete McNeil" To: "Message Sniffer Community" Sent: Thursday, December 24, 2015 4:17:08 PM Subject: [sniffer] New Version -- SNFMulti 3.2.0 -- Strangers Hello Sniffer Folks, A new version of Message Sniffer is available. The most exciting new feature for this version is: Strangers. The "Strangers" algorithm replaces the previous White-Guard algorithm. Strangers prevents high-intensity pre-tested spam from poisoning IP reputations in GBUdb and enhances SNF's sensitivity to these kinds of attacks. Once pattern rules begin to match the pre-tested attack the IP reputations quickly climb into the black enhancing all of SNF's learning systems. Normal, but new, IP sources are held to low-confidence reputations for several hours, but after that are allowed to develop normally. Short summary: Strangers lets SNF close the door more quickly on pre-tested spam while enhancing SNF's learning sensitivity to those events and without interfering with normal IP reputation processing.
