Resolve to Protect your Emails with GWAVA in 2010!


The new year is a great time to re-evaluate your spam and virus protection. If you are using an open source anti-spam product, you may be putting your organization at risk. Check out this blog about the SpamAssassin Y2K10 bug: http://blog.commtouch.com/cafe/data-and-research/spamassassin-y2k10-bug/. The post describes an old rule in SpamAssassin which stated that messages from 2010 were "from the far future" inappropriately giving an increased spam weight to any message written since the start of 2010. A fix was posted 12 hours after the start of 2010 by SpamAssassin coders – but requires an update. Users of SpamAssassin who have not performed the update will have a significantly increased ratio of false positives, upwards of 20%!

If you are using GWAVA, you don't have to worry about these types of bugs and fixes and take time to constantly update and maintain your anti-spam product. With GWAVA, your system is automatically updated 24/7 and totally protected, from the perimeter and from within your GroupWise message store. Keep your GroupWise messages safe by switching to GWAVA!
