Vircom
will continue to update it's Modus 2.1 Sieve filters for now. As for 3.0,
we will update the engine as frequently as we need to.
If
this changes, we will of course make an announcement both on our web site and on
the mailing lists well in advance.

thanks unfortunately, i was talking without
knowing what i was replying to. will vircom continue to update their
filters then? and I suppose after we upgrade on wednesday, i could
actually turn all of my custom filters off?? Just wondering if that
would be the best approach.

If
you continue to use sieve filters then you are only creating work for
yourself. I have not had to worry about adding anything to sieve
filters since they got the SCA engine up and running.
The reason the sieve filters are in your top ten is that custom sieve
filters are checked BEFORE the vircom SCA engine and in the old 2.x version
they were checked before the Vircom sieve filters..
Believe me and the rest of the beta testers.. you won't need sieve
filters :)

not me. I use tons of them and they are
always in my top ten list.

Hello
Ken,
While the sieve filters have not changed from 2.x they are
almost a
thing of the past.. I am only using 2 filters, one to bypass
some
specific addresses and another one to do input some variables for
new
viruses that may not yet be in the anti-virus engine.
The
big "spam kicker" is the new SCA engine.. You can read about
it
here:
http://www.vircom.com/Modus3/
I
have no server wide whitelist/blacklist. I don't believe you
will
need them except for maybe a pesty person who likes to
harass...
Challenge/response is not used.
You can still
select the levels of scanning for viruses, spam
and
attachments.
You will be
PLEASED!!
Ronnie
