[sniffer] Kudos

2008-01-09 Thread Robert Grosshandler
Hi All -

With the holidays behind us, we upgraded to the it doesn't look like it
will ever go gold wide-beta.  

Followed the directions in the readme to the letter.

Worked wonderfully, continues to work wonderfully 24 hours later.  We're low
volume, but so far no false positives and no complaints of leakage.

The suggestion to keep the rule update process the same was a good one.

We used FireDaemon instead of srvany to manage the SNF process.  Works fine.

We use inv-uribl, Declude (and therefore zerohour) in combo with Message
Sniffer.  I'm thinking of lowering the weight we delete at!

Thanks!

Rob

Subject: [sniffer] Database  Compiler Upgrades

Hello Sniffer Folks,

There have been a few unavoidable disruptions regarding rulebase
deliveries and/or update notifications over the past few days. We
apologize about that. There should not be any more noticeable
disruptions in the foreseeable future.

Over the past few days we have upgraded nearly all of our database,
bot, and compiler servers. There are a few more systems to upgrade,
but at this point the heavy lifting has been done :-)

Moving forward you will see more frequent updates of your SNF rulebase
files and you will also see improvements in the rulebase quality as we
bring new back-end systems online to take advantage of our new
hardware.

Thanks for your patience and support!

_M

Sorry, I wasn't really specific enough.  Actually interested in the
estimated date for Sniffer itself.  For most of the year, we enjoy being
modestly early adopters.  During the holiday quarter, we're late adopters.

We are continuously improving our back-end systems. There is no
specific timing for any of the many projects.

The current hardware upgrade process will be completed this week.

[sniffer] timing for production

2007-10-09 Thread Robert Grosshandler
We generally don't do anything system wise during the 4th quarter unless
absolutely necessary.  

1) If we don't upgrade to production if/when it comes out later this year,
will we be ok?
2) Is release to production Q4 event??

That's been a problem for a long time, but for us, it still 
treats that e-mail as spam, with the appropriate weight. 100% of the time 
if Declude does that, the e-mail is beyond our delete 
weight.

[sniffer] Declude Interceptor

2006-10-08 Thread Robert Grosshandler
Hi

We're attempting to install SNF with the new Declude Gateway product.  We're
having problems.  We're also having problems installing invariant systems'
INVURIBL product, which leads me to wonder.

Are any of you using SNF with Interceptor successfully?

While it definitely could be us, maybe, since the product is so new, it's
Interceptor.

Pete's thinks people are using it, but he's not sure.

Thanks for the info.

Hello Sniffer Folks,

   I am curious to know how many folks have been using Version
   2-3.1i2. I have not heard any problem reports, so I'm assuming it's
   going well with you as it is on our systems... or, perhaps, nobody
   has tried it yet??

   I would like to move this interim to the official version. If I can
   get a show of hands on how many folks are using the new version
   successfully then I would really appreciate it.

Thanks!

  now. (Requires the --header switch and piping the output through 
  gzip)

It is not so complex:

In the wget command change
   -O sniffer.new
to
   -O sniffer.new.gz
and add the switch
   --header=Accept-Encoding:gzip

And in the next line put the command
   gzip -d -f sniffer.new.gz

That looks about right. Of course you will also need to download gzip to 
make this work if you don't already have it.

Tried the above and got an error message. Tried:
sniffer.exe  xxauthenticationxx stop
and it paused a few seconds and returned to command prompt, so I'm 
guessing that it stopped.

That doesn't sound quite right.

In the distribution there are some .CMD files that show examples of the 
commands:

stop - Ends the persistent server

reload - Reloads the rulebase  config file data

rotate - Moves the current log file to sniffer.log.mmddhhmmss

Note that all commands and configuration options are case sensitive.

Hope this helps,
