We've released Up2Date 8.203 today. This Up2Date will enhance the stability and performance of your ASG installation. Of note is the reverting of the default SMTP RDNS checks to a more relaxed way, however the more effective “strict” options remains available for admins looking to combat spam with the tightest measures.
