[Modus] filtering

[Mike Herrera]

In the last few years that we have run virus filtering solutions I can think of only one time that an email was quarantined as a virus and contained very important information.  We have also turned off quarantining virus infected mails.  There just doesn't seem to be a valid reason for it.   Regards, Mike Herrera Access One Online Svcs. http://www.access-one.com Peering Conference for ISP's http://www.peercon.org   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Cary Fitch Sent: Tuesday, February 03, 2004 2:56 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Modus] filtering We were getting hammered a few days ago... causing a small backlog, and decided at that time there was no reason to keep virus messages.   The false positive rate seems negligible, and you can't release them, for practical purposes, and nobody wants to double check and see if the claimed virus is the "computerdistroyed.exe" virus or a false positive, so we started chucking them in to the bit bucket.   Cary Fitch
