While I don't actually use SA, I recently subscribed to the SA list because I recognize SA as a leading product and I like to get ideas from this list. Also, I understand (and agree with) the frustration on the part of those here who think that SA should have had better inclusion and coverage in the NW article.
However, OTHERWISE, it was a good article. I was curious about some OTHER things in the article and I e-mailed some questions and he replied back with very helpful and candid answers. One thing that he mentioned is that a large portion of the FPs from this testing fit into two categories: (1) bounced virus messages... I presume that he meant situations where a virus "joe jobed" someone and the person received a warning about sending a virus that was actually sent from another person's computer? (2) List messages... Google Groups... etc. I think that the list messages can be troublesome because so much gets mentioned throughout and because the e-mail address of participants get scattered thoughout the list... perhaps (also) some of the domains of these e-mail address may be actually spammers' domains? I'm going to start separate thread on these two types of FPs to see if anyone has any ideas... it kinda gets off topic to discuss these on this thread. But, nevertheless, try to cut the poor guy some slack. Nobody is perfect and, like I said, I found him to be very competent and helpful. Rob McEwen
