New Release of MagicSpam for Plesk and Plesk PRO

Tue, 07 May 2024 00:00:00 -0700 | by mThreat Technology Inc.

We at mThreat Technologies are excited to launch the latest series of updates for MagicSpam LITE and PRO for Plesk software. Over the last few months, we’ve been working tirelessly to address your feedback about our “Logs” system. It was clear certain areas of the software weren’t running as optimally as they should be, so we had to remove several beloved Logs functions as we worked out the kinks. Now, with MagicSpam PRO v2.2.1 and LITE v2.1.1, we are pleased to announce that the Logs issues have been addressed. Beyond Log Search functionality changes, we have implemented several quality of life features.
