I too receive notifications from Sophos. However, I would not send that notification to my cell phone as an urgent. Even when Sophos sends out notifications, I still go to the web page to read the information to see if it warrants urgent action on the mail server. > If we are talking about an alert that states a new Declude Interim is > available to fix such a problem I agree.

No, this is specifically to let those on the list know that some thing has occurred that affects e-mail admins in general and requires urgent attention. Again, this is for urgent notices, the type you would want to receive at an e-mail address you always have access to, such as a cell phone. It would also not be restricted to items affecting Declude Virus, although that would be the majority. > Great idea.

This goes beyond that in that you would be notified that something is up and gives you the chance to then read your regular e-mail to find out more details.
