What is Gallabox?

WhatsApp-first CX tool expands into new channels and AI-built bots.

What is Rspamd?

Rspamd 4.3 fixes SPF evaluation order and rejects weak DKIM keys, with results that change.

Rspamd 4.3.0 on November 13 is a correctness release with a long incompatible-changes list. SPF records are now evaluated in term order, closing a case where an explicit -ip4 deny could be overridden by a broader allow. DKIM rejects RSA keys under 1024 bits and signatures with duplicate tags, DMARC no longer drops a policy over an unknown tag, URL mismatches are scored apart from phishing, and PDF text extraction and archive unpacking change their output. Critical fixes cover a header line that could abort a worker from one unauthenticated HTTP request.

Gallabox vs Rspamd: editorial side-by-side

G0.0

WhatsApp-first CX tool expands into new channels and AI-built bots.

◆ Current state

Gallabox is a WhatsApp Business messaging and CX platform that is broadening from a single-channel tool into a multi-channel inbox with AI automation. Recent releases add Voice and Instagram DMs as channels while leaning into AI-authored chatbots and team-routing features.

◆ Where it's heading

The product is heading toward an omnichannel conversation hub where WhatsApp remains the anchor but Voice, Instagram, and AI bots reduce reliance on any one surface. Much of the changelog also tracks Meta's pricing changes, which shape how customers use broadcasts.

◆ Prediction

Expect Voice and Instagram to graduate from early access/waitlist to general availability, and deeper AI-bot tooling that turns plain-language instructions into deployable agents.

5.0

Rspamd 4.3 fixes SPF evaluation order and rejects weak DKIM keys, with results that change.

◆ Current state

Rspamd 4.3.0 on November 13 is a correctness release with a long incompatible-changes list. SPF records are now evaluated in term order, closing a case where an explicit -ip4 deny could be overridden by a broader allow. DKIM rejects RSA keys under 1024 bits and signatures with duplicate tags, DMARC no longer drops a policy over an unknown tag, URL mismatches are scored apart from phishing, and PDF text extraction and archive unpacking change their output. Critical fixes cover a header line that could abort a worker from one unauthenticated HTTP request.

◆ Where it's heading

Since 4.1, every release has hardened parsers and closed memory-safety and trust gaps; 4.3 applies the same pass to the authentication standards themselves (SPF, DKIM, DMARC, ARC) and to content extraction. Operators should expect scores and fuzzy hashes to shift after upgrading, because the project now favours spec-correct results over backward-compatible ones.

◆ Prediction

A 4.3.x point release fixing regressions from these behaviour changes is the likely next step, as 4.2.1 followed 4.2.0 within two weeks.
