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.

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.

Exactly what it is intended for.

Robert, I saw your post. 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.
