Each month we share a mix of UI updates, bug fixes, and new features shipped across the Paubox platform. Have a suggestion? Let your account manager know.

Malicious QR code detection on inbound email

Attackers increasingly hide malicious links inside QR codes to slip past traditional filters, a technique often aimed at healthcare staff. Paubox now scans QR codes in inbound email and checks the links they contain against known malicious sources.

  • Detects QR codes in inbound email and checks the links they contain against known malicious sources.
  • Works across common image formats, including inline and attached images.

VIP quarantine reports

Admins can now tailor quarantine reports to specific recipients, which is useful for keeping a closer eye on mail to executives and other high-risk users.

  • New toggle on the Inbound Security Settings page enables the feature.
  • Admins choose which recipients are included in the report.
  • The original per-user quarantine reports remain available to all users who want them.

Additional updates by product

Inbound email security

  • The Inbound Quarantine page no longer auto-refreshes rows while you are reviewing, making quarantined mail easier to work through.

DLP

  • DLP now skips internal messages between Google Workspace users on the same domain, matching existing Microsoft 365 behavior, so internal email isn't unnecessarily scanned or held.
  • New Excluded Users page lets admins exempt specific senders from outbound DLP scanning.

Outbound email security

  • Improved outbound TLS delivery to recipients hosted on shared mail servers, fixing cases where messages were incorrectly downgraded to secure messages.

Paubox Marketing

  • Updated the Paubox Marketing email builder, resolving permission issues some customers had encountered.

Account administration

  • Two-factor authentication text messages now come from a standard 10-digit phone number instead of the previous short code.

Bug fixes

  • Fixed footer logic so notification emails generated by shared Google Docs are no longer flagged as spam.
