AFF? (Please clarify, I use this acronym to indicate "Advance Fee
Fraud" - a type of spam ("AFF" to replace "419"))The goal (and I admit to not reaching it lately) is to respond to all FP requests within 24 hours. There is a "rule-panic" procedure and mechanism in place for urgent FP situations which allows you to have immediate results (see your .cfg file and our web site w/ regard to FP procedures please). http://www.sortmonster.com/MessageSniffer/Help/FalsePositivesHelp.html#RulePanic Note that the rule panic procedure includes a note (not containing a message sample) to support@ so that we can be made aware of the problem sooner in case we have not already detected it. Note also that in this case we detected the problem and removed the rule very quickly - some time before any reports were made, and likely before any rule-panic situation could be reported. Unfortunately the bad rule was in place long enough to be included in a few rulebase files before we could remove it. The recent delays in FP processing are due to my personal focus on increasing our staff and our compiler system so that we can respond to new threats more quickly. That focus has disturbed our schedules a bit. The good news is that we are nearing the end of that process and I should be able to achieve our goal of processing FP requests within 24 hours very soon. We also have plans to cut that time in half or better within the next few weeks if all goes well (and it should). Here again additional staff are being trained to improve our performance. Sorry for the inconvenience in the short term. Thanks for your patience while we grow.
