Do I need WASP if I'm already running GWAVA?

The WebAccess Gateway by-passes the GWIA and MTA within GroupWise. If GWAVA is running at the MTA, it will not see email attachments loaded through the WebAccess Gateway. This is why it is important to incorporate both GWAVA and WASP for complete protection.

Do I have to license WASP for everyone inside my GroupWise system?

WASP is designed to protect your entire GroupWise system from being infected by a single user inadvertently uploading a virus into your GroupWise message store. You license WASP to protect all the users within your GroupWise system.

Does WASP run on Linux?

 Yes WASP supports SLES 10 sp1.

Does WASP do the virus scanning itself?

WASP can be installed as a standalone product. WASP actually uses a version of the GWAVA engine to scan WebAccess email for viruses. However, attachments sent through WebAccess are only scanned for viruses if GWAVA is installed on the system.

Can WASP clean the file instead of removing it?

WASP does not clean attachments. It also does not remove the attachment from the email. It blocks the email from being sent and notifies the user about the problem. The user is responsible for taking appropriate action.

Do I need GWAVA to run WASP?

WASP has been totally redesigned with many of the key features of GWAVA.  In fact, the installation and management interface that is part of GWAVA is the same as in WASP.  WASP does not require the GWAVA product in order to use it. However, when GWAVA is used with WASP, your entire GroupWise system will be protected from those emails coming in through WebAccess to the GWIA, MTA and PO level. Both GWAVA and WASP should be part of every GroupWise system for maximum protection from email viruses.
