Sophos e-mail gateway is currently in an upgrade state. Full functionality is estimated to be completed by December 5, 2008.
This is the same vendor we have used in the past, but with a complete re-write.
Functionality includes:
--blocking e-mail from known spam / virus providers
--blocking e-mail to unknown recipients
--assigning probability scales to possible spam content, then taking appropriate action
--blocking viruses
--provides links to information on viruses that have been blocked
--provides inbound / outbound protection
--the rule-set database will be updated within 5-20 minutes of outbreaks
Users will be able to release their own quarantined messages when we are finished with the installation. They will also be able to manage their own black-list / white-list
More information to follow.
