Sorry, no work-arounds.  We took the 'quit using it" route.  We experienced problems 
like it blocking messages with adobe pdf files attached, and reduced performance on 
the firewall and in email.

Use something like Webshield, Mimesweeper, SurfControl, Antigen, etc, etc to do your 
email scanning instead.

There've been several threads on this list recommending not using any of the sercurity 
servers.  The http security server for example can cause a 30-40%performance hit.

Hey all,

I'm wondering if I'm the only one who finds the security server to be
somewhat weak. My problem is mainly with the "Notify sender on error"
feature. It returns a non-customizable message to the sender with absolutely
no details of why it wasn't able to deliver the message and to whom it
wasn't able to deliver it. I mean, if you send a msg to 50 recepients and
you get a notification back, you have no idea of who didn't get the message.
And, even though the firewall knows who AND why it wasn't able to deliver
the message, no information is conveyed in the email sent to the original
sender.

I'd like to know if anybody has workarounds for such weaknesses (beside the
obvious do not use the smtp security server). My environment is NOKIA IP440
and NG FP2.

Thanks for your comments/help,
Michel
