I don't see what difference the frequency makes.
Now if you think these are originating inside your network then
that's another thing entirely but I thought they were coming in
from the Internet.
If that's the case and if your web mail is on the internet then
you cannot use the application itself to prevent such requests.
IPSWITCH's web server is not vulnerable to code red so they've
done their part in that regard.
If you are going to stop the code red attacks you have to stop
them above the application.
I understand your frustration but I don't understand at all how
you can blame Ipswitch. Sorry.
