We all disabled the custom scripts WAY back!  You don’t really need them any more other than as a quick fix to catch something right way.

 

I know, I know…you have become VERY dependent on those custom scripts over the months/years.  I chose to disable mine to give Vircom a true test of what the SCA was capable of.  I must admit, I was a bit reluctant at first but as I said all through the beta, “no guts, no glory.”  I disabled the customs scripts and have not looked back, nor have I regretted my decision, since.

 

As Mike and the others at Nike once said, “Just do it!”

Thanks, i thought the SCA engine was an offshoot of SA. It's just that in my quarantine after 12 hours most of what was caught was caught by my custom filters. then I lost the ability to look at the vircom native filters and found many caught by 'miscellananeous'.  I'm not sure i understand what that is, but thought that something went wrong with our install.

 

would you say it is better to not use the custome scripts or to continue to use them or to start with a fresh batch of scripts based on what gets thru now.

 

by the way, i think that this new program is actually less resource intensive that any previous that i have run in the modus line.

 

thanks

Careful there vince, the Vircom solution is named SCA (Sequential Content Analyzer).

 

As far as seeing how it works, the only thing you can currently see are the results (i.e. quarantine monitoring).

 

It was a bit strange for us to “just trust it” and let it work, but after several weeks of having it in service my advice is to “just trust it” and let it work  J 

 

We still monitor the quarantine and reports .

Ok, we upgraded, but how do i find what the Spam Assasin front end is doing.

somehow, i thought there would be someplace to look and see what was happening. I can't even see the 'catagories' for the vircom scripts now.

 

Is there a place to see what the SA is doing?
