Hi, All. GroupShield for Exchange is MacAfee's AntiVirus program for servers using Microsoft Exchange.
This site: http://attrition.org/security/rant/av-spammers.html calls their messages "advertising," and unnecessary unwanted advertising at that, otherwise known as SPAM, and rates it as the worst offender in this regard. Moreover, they actually help to propagate email "worms." They often contain the virus they say they're blocking. MacAfee claims that none of their products send such autoresponders, but clearly, that is not true. They are Advertising, pure and simple. You can get a SpamAssassin filter to block bogus virus warnings (if you use SpamAssassin) or just Shift+Delete to permanently erase them. Burn'em. Sterling K.

That seems to support my "unknown words" theory for attempts at spam blocking-- the program's dictionary didn't recognize the word "Zagora" in the subject line, so it rejected it "because of the subject" trying to filter out the "random subject words" spam. If you google up "groupshield ticket" you'll get thousands of then showing up in mailing list archives-- but I haven't seen a confirmed explaination yet. ______________________________________________ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list ______________________________________________ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
