So I've been running Sophos UTM for the past few years with a Home licence and had no real issues with it
Except one that is now becoming a bit of an issue - and that is the 50 IP limit imposed on the Home Licence
As I run an IT Home Lab, I have a number of devices, servers, etc that are now starting to fill up that limit...
So I looked into Sophos XG as a possible replacement..
I got it installed, got it configured and started to get everythign migrated across - however there is one feature that has caused me to revert back to UTM
Sophos XG doesn't seem to support the POP3 Prefetch that UTM does. For XG to allow mail hygeine, it required me to modify MX records to point directly to the XG
However, because this is a home setup, I quickly found out that my ISP's IP ranges are blacklisted for SMTP - meaning I lost a LOT of email after a day or so of use..
As a result I had to go back to the UTM and will now need to find a way to get round the 50 IP limit..
This is a real shame, because I found XG really easy to use and a lot more flexible than UTM apart from this one issue.
If XG can support the POP3/Prefetch of mail as it does in UTM, then I'd happily migrate again...
