This morning you should be prompted to upgrade your Kerio connector…please allow this to complete. I will post what’s new in a few moments.

Spam Filter Adjusted

Darren McCarthy — Fri, 15 May 2009 05:45:00 GMT

Just to let you know that we have adjusted the spam filter to harden the mail server farm slightly against the influx of spam recently. We still ask you to vote the spam in the bin so the filters can learn better.

Any issues then please raise a ticket as normal.

Thanks

Message attachment filters adjusted

Darren McCarthy — Thu, 14 May 2009 05:49:21 GMT

By request we have adjusted the message attachment filters to permit the delivery of wmv files though the mail servers.

If this causes an issue to anyone then please let me know.

Thanks
