Frequently Asked Questions
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.
Does WASP do the virus scanning itself?
When WASP receives an email attachment, it passes that attachment to GWAVA 4, which does the actual scanning of the file and when done, returns the file to WASP for release to the WebAcccess Gateway.
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
Can WASP clean the file instead of removing it?
Wasp does not clean attachments. Neither does it 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?
WASP2 has been totally redesigned to use a large number of key features that GWAVA4 uses as well. In fact the installation and mangement interface that is part of GWAVA4 is the same as in WASP2. It does not require GWAVA4 to be licensed to install and use WASP. Although, GWAVA4 is able to protect a GroupWise system at the GWIA, MTA and PO level and should be part of every GroupWise system for maximum protection from email viruses.
