> Does anyone know if ipSwitch will put in a DOS defense regarding the > Code Red virus and its variants? I wouldn't think this is hard to do. It might not be hard to do, but I don't think it would help much either. CodeRed is only dangerous to IIS. IMail doesn't use IIS, so to it a CodeRed attempt looks like junk and IMail more or less ignores it. A CodeRed specific defense in IMail couldn't do much better - it would still receive the junk before it could do anything with it. If you want DoS protection against CodeRed et al, you need to have filters in place as far upstream from your servers as you can get it - at your ISP or backbone connection is best. By the time the attempt gets routed to you and reaches your network, it's too late for DoS protection. (Etcetera.) -- Dave Salovesh RAM Associates, Inc.
