FYI:
Today we were flooded with a massive incoming emails containing Sober.O
(f-prot) virus.
We receive aprox 15% of viruses out of all the emails we process. Today the
figure raised to almost 40%.
It fulfilled the overflow folder and there were delays of about 2 to 5 hours
to deliver non-virus emails
We received the first email with virus at 12 (noon) may 2. Our f-prot
signature files were not updated -we update every 4 hours- and we let 27
emails with viruses passed through. There was nothing we could do about it.
The virus was discovered the same day by Symantec, F-prot and others.
Our F-prot received signature files at 1:30 pm and from that time on we have
catched about 9000 emails out 30,000
The folder is full with 3000 emails and is not able to be handled as fast as
we would want with declude/f-prot.
Q:
Is there something we can do to avoid such delays delivering emails other
than use Imail Kill list, catching the computers delivering the viruses and
moving to a strongest server.
Bye
-Luis Arango
