VIENNA, Austria – August 27, 2019 – Proxmox Server Solutions GmbH today has released Proxmox Mail Gateway 6.0, the latest major version of its open-source email security solution. Proxmox Mail Gateway is a complete operating system based on Debian Buster and functions as an anti-spam and anti-virus filtering solution. It is deployed between the firewall and the internal mail server working like a full featured mail proxy and protecting organizations against spam, viruses, trojans, and phishing emails.
Proxmox Mail Gateway 6.0 is based on the latest stable release of Debian 10.0 (Buster) with a 5.0.21 kernel and includes the latest security fixes. Users can upgrade to version 6.0 either with a clean install or with an in-place upgrade. The developers provide a step-by-step upgrade path simplifying the latter. The new version 6.0 comes with improved support for ZFS on UEFI and on NVMe devices in the ISO installer, for example you can boot a ZFS mirror on NVMe SSDs.
Further improvements in Proxmox Mail Gateway 6.0
