XG v17.5.4 MR4-1 Released (MR4 update 1)

After updating from 17.5 MR3 to MR4, my UI becames much faster than before... Additionally, in my DHCP Settings, the Option "Use device's DNS settings" was unticked after upgrade... So my DHCP was not delivering any DNS Server Information what caused my clients to not being able to resolve names... 

Anybody else had this issue? I don't know currently what else might be broken with that release...

I presume you upgraded to SFOS xg17.5 MR4-1 (17.5.4.429).   Were you able to "tick" it back ?

So, if I have followed correctly, as we speak, Hubert should have two firmwares, MR4 (409) and MR3 with corresponding backups.  (He did not upgrade to MR4-1) If he did not made much changes that he could repeat, he could then load MR3 firmware (i.e. make MR3 firmware active), then upgrade MR3 directly to MR4-1 (which would replace the unactive MR4 (409) firmware with the more recent MR4-1 (429) firmware).  That way, he would have a local, synchronized, and attached backup of both MR3 and MR4-1.  That would then allowed him to swap from on to the other ...

Right ?

Hello Big_Buck 

Yes, that is correct.

Will 17.5.4 MR4-1 fix local routing mail errors ?

Local mail xg@company.de to remote adress user@company.de fails..

Hello juergenb52,

You have an ongoing issue on another thread. Let's stick our conversation on that post.

Aditya,

it seems that Sophos has implemented a Buggy exim with 17.5.4 and even with 17.5.4-1.

With 17.5.4 i can´t get the XG Backup files through mail.

For my expirience, the QS is not doing it´s Job.
This XG 17.5.* gets even worse with every new MR.

I talked to a friend yersterday and they don´t like to sell the XG Version.
To many Problems and a lot of Features from UTM are still missing.

In fact, i have no issues right now in all of my implementations. 

Basically you see only the people having issues with a product than the other percent, which works perfectly fine. 

My Backups getting send without any issue etc. 

And changing a daemon can be problematic for certain installation. 

I do not want to open the XG vs SG discussion right now. 

Hi Toni,

when will Sophos fix the buggy 17.5.4-1 Release?

Well

Email backups are dead on all appliances here since upgrading to XG17.5.4 MR4

Bugs.  Bugs.  Bugs.

Built-in email server not working. When XG sends an e-mail then we have a log message:
"SMTP QUEUED 127.0.0.1 ..... Email has been accepted by Device and queued for scanning. 18035" and nothing else happens. E-mail is not sent.

Regards
Jan

Messages I get are:

1. Up2Date Failed Failed to check for updates 18029
2. Appliance Fail to send mail : Cannot connect to mail server 127.0.0.1 : 24 17944

It worked before, but I have to check if something allows communication to 127.0.0.1 : 24 17944

By the way what do :2417994 is doing there ?

Strange case with XG 17.5.4-1: attempt to send an e-mail notification or config backup completed with the message "SMTP QUEUED 127.0.0.1 ..... Email has been accepted by Device and queued for scanning. 18035"   blocks log and reports for a few hours.    Restart needed ?

As far as I am concerned, I did reboot the appliance twice.

Updated to 17.5.5 MR-5.  Same problems.

1. Up2Date Failed Failed to check for updates 18029
2. Appliance Fail to send mail : Cannot connect to mail server 127.0.0.1 : 24
