[Modus] filtering

[Jon Saunders - SECPA]

We’ve been dumping them for about 3 months now, and just turned off sending notifications.  People liked the notification when it was once and a while.  Our customers didn’t like it when they got 4-5 notifications per day when the big viruses hit.   Jon From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Larry Essary Sent: Tuesday, February 03, 2004 2:15 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Modus] filtering   Are you even notifying the user they received an email with a virus with "enable alert notification to recipients" ? Larry 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 I was contemplating this same issue earlier this morning.  I couldnt think of any really viable excuse to keep them. Mike McTee Is there any reason to not simply delete emails that are detected as having a virus ? I have never had a virus infected email that contained any useful information. Larry
