Title: Message
I think so...
 
That attitude sucks big time.  The product is broken without it, broken with it.
 
Some of the fixes in HF7 seem pretty critical to me.
 
Like not detecting attachments in html-formatted emails, for example...

I got the hotfix, with pretty much no screaming necessary.  I asked the tech why they wont post it, and they said it would break more than it would fix.  How about that for a product...
 
Should we be looking at something else than NAI?

Just 1 or 2 things. I'm going to try to call today. If anybody has the fix, would be nice to get it rather than call and convince them otherwise.

 

thanks

Found on another mailing list:

 

 

A HF7 is not-public-available from NAI - see further below for resolved
issues.
(the "not-public-available" is like saying: You got to have the problem
before you can get the hotfix)

 

Snip from the readme:

 

*****************************
A2.  RESOLVED ISSUES

 

1.  This HotFix adds an Advanced button to the
    Internet Settings dialog box. The new button
    allows you to enter a user name and password
    to access a secure FTP server. Without this
    HotFix, the GroupShield Exchange software can
    only access FTP sites with anonymous login.

 

2.  This HotFix resolves an issue where a locked
    SCAN.DAT file caused the TKUPD32.EXE and
    UPDSVC.EXE processes to run at high processor
    utilization. This HotFix also resolves this
    issue.

 

3.  This HotFix resolves an issue where the
    AutoUpdate feature was unable to update
    a locked SCAN.DAT file. The software now
    unlocks the file before it performs the
    update.

 

4.  This HotFix ensures that an AutoUpdate task
    completes successfully if it runs at the same
    time as an on-demand scan task.

 

5.  This Hotfix resolves an issue where repeated
    scheduled on-demand scan tasks started at a time
    later than scheduled.
 
6.  This Hotfix resolves an issue with
    notification messages with Sender, CC or
    recipient fields longer than 256
    characters where the field would be truncated
    to the first 256 characters.

 

7.  Notification messages sent when an infected
    message has been detected now report whether
    a message has been Cleaned, Quarantined,
    Deleted or Logged.

 

8.  Notification messages generated following
    an on-demand scan task that detected an
    embedded HTML infection in an e-mail
    message now show the correct time that
    the infected message was sent.
 
9.  This HotFix resolves an issue where
    attachments included in HTML formatted
    messages were not scanned by the on-demand
    scanner.

 

10. An ODCMD.EXE application error given when the
    GroupShield Exchange services were closed
    or an on-demand scan task completed on a
    stand-alone server no longer appears.
*****************************

 


The HF7 has these additional resolved issues

 


*****************************
11. This HotFix resolves an issue that caused
    attachments to be incorrectly Quarantined
    during a DAT file update.

 

12. This HotFix resolves an issue where an
    on-demand scan task would fail if the
    Microsoft Exchange server display name
    contained extended characters, such as an
    umlaut character.

 

13. This HotFix updates the Microsoft Exchange
    VS API "Version" registry key after a DAT
    file update, and does not revert to the
    original version number when restarting the
    GroupShield Exchange services.

 

14. This HotFix resolves an issue where the
    check box in the Blocking options sometimes
    became unchecked while editing the filename
    or extension blocking options until the OK
    button was pressed.

 

15. This HotFix enables the GroupShield Exchange
    software to block attachments by filename,
    extension and size. You can set these
    options to run together or to run
    independently.

 

16. This HotFix resolves an issue where inactive
    remnants of the W32/Magistr virus were not
    removed from an attachment when it was
    cleaned.

From what I gather, there is a hotfix #7 that corrects the problem where block attachments and block extensions is not mutually exclusive. Have email'd tech support but they now take days to respond.
