RE: [Declude.Virus] BSOD and IMail-Server reboot

2004-06-12 Thread Douglas Cohn
This is very negative post John.

The SE7501WV2 is a $600.00 + Intel Dual Xeon SERVER Motherboard with a Dual
Gigabit Server NICs.  It is designed for server traffic.

This is the same EXACT Onboard NIC in IBM X series and HP Proliant servers.
Dell uses the lower cost Broadcom Gigabit NICs.

The archives have no references to anything related to Server motherboards
only desktop motherboards.

It seems to me when people have nothing to say  say nothing. 

In the future I will not reply to the list either and I apologize in advance
for doing so. No one needs a post to tell them to do what will not change
the situation anyway.

[Declude.Virus] Getting hammered by W32.Netsky.P@mm!enc

2004-06-12 Thread Alan Walters
Hi,

We're running Declude Virus Pro paired with McAfee NetShield v4.5 (the full
version, so we can have the Command Line Scanner) with the latest signature
files.  We're also running Symantec Corporate Edition v8.0 on the desktop
with the latest signature files.

Lately we've experienced several infections where the [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Virus has slipped past McAfee and landed in our Netscape v4.79 Inbox.  As
soon as somebody opens their Inbox, Symantec detects the virus and
quarantines the whole Inbox (obviously including all the other non-infected
emails)!

I realize this is more likely a failure of McAfee and not Declude, however
I'm wondering if Declude could possibly be not decoding the email properly
and presenting it to the McAfee Command Line Scanner in such a way as to
cause it to mis-detect the virus?  What's really strange is the email
appears to be one of those "friendly" informative bounces, attempting to
tell me I sent them a virus.  Firstly, I didn't and secondly - WTF would
somebody return a "you have a virus" message WITH THE ACTUAL VIRUS STILL
ATTACHED?!?

Here's a copy of one of the infected emails (sans the actual virus) as it
looks when viewed from the Inbox using NotePad:

RE: [Declude.Virus] BSOD and IMail-Server reboot

2004-06-12 Thread Gene Head
Doug,

I have recently had some issues with my mail server and BSOD and
corrupted files. What was happening was because of a bad memory stick
files were being either written to the drive with errors or not being
read back in correctly.
This caused errors to be logged in our event log and caused the machine
to Blue screen and reboot. I eventually took the machine offline and
replaced it for diagnostics and repair.

In my experience with Windows boxes and BSOD I have found they are
caused by:

1. Bad, outdated or incompatible drivers. You might look here for your
problem as a leaky driver would definitely cause the problem you are
describing.

2. Bad memory. It just has to be intermittent. It wont show up on
diagnostics it will just fail under load. (These are a real bitch to
find)

3. Bad motherboard

4. Bad processors. (Yeah, I've seen this on too. It's the last thing you
look for)

Each time your machine Blue Screens it should display a message that
sort of guides you to what the machine thinks caused the problem. In my
case there were several of them but the one that stuck out the most was
"Page_fault_in_non-paged_memory".

If you would like to take a look at your event logs and post the BSOD
message we might be able to determine what is going on.

I did read a post someplace about certain motherboards and
hyperthreading issues. Not sure if the Xeon proc does that or not.

Hope this helps a little

Re: [Declude.Virus] Getting hammered by W32.Netsky.P@mm!enc

2004-06-12 Thread Matt
It's important to specify in this instance that in order to detect 
encrypted archives (ZIP's or RAR's) one needs to be using the most 
recent interim release, 1.79i9 and you can't be running Declude Virus 
Lite (Scott would also mention having a current support contract).  
http://www.declude.com/version/interim/

There are also limitations in what you can do depending on the version 
of Declude Virus that you have.  Banning E-mail by extension doesn't 
work in the Lite version, only the Standard and Pro versions.  In 
Standard, you can only ban by extension, however in Pro, you can just 
add a single line and it will only ban encrypted archives if it includes 
a file that is contained in your list of banned extensions (which would 
cover all viruses if you use the list below, but you should leave out 
the EZIP entry):

   BANEZIPEXTSON
If you just have Standard, then the method shown below will work, 
although it will ban all encrypted archives, even ones with 
non-executables within them.

There is a lot of information on this if you search the archives at 
http://www.mail-archive.com/declude.virus%40declude.com/ for 
"BANEZIPEXTS" or "EZIP"

The problem in a nutshell is that dynamically encrypted archives can't 
be decoded and this hides the virus payload, so in many cases the only 
way to protect yourself is to ban encrypted archives that contain an 
executable or any encrypted archive depending on the capabilities of 
your version and your desire for specificity.

I would add Mailpure's ANTI-AV filter to elinate these bounces.
I've also seen that F-Prot does a slightly better job of catching the corrupted 
variants than Mcafee.

Subject: [Declude.Virus] Getting hammered by [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi,

We're running Declude Virus Pro paired with McAfee NetShield v4.5 (the full
version, so we can have the Command Line Scanner) with the latest signature
files.  We're also running Symantec Corporate Edition v8.0 on the desktop
with the latest signature files.

Lately we've experienced several infections where the [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Virus has slipped past McAfee and landed in our Netscape v4.79 Inbox.  As
soon as somebody opens their Inbox, Symantec detects the virus and
quarantines the whole Inbox (obviously including all the other non-infected
emails)!

I realize this is more likely a failure of McAfee and not Declude, however
I'm wondering if Declude could possibly be not decoding the email properly
and presenting it to the McAfee Command Line Scanner in such a way as to
cause it to mis-detect the virus?  What's really strange is the email
appears to be one of those "friendly" informative bounces, attempting to
tell me I sent them a virus.  Firstly, I didn't and secondly - WTF would
somebody return a "you have a virus" message WITH THE ACTUAL VIRUS STILL
ATTACHED?!?

Here's a copy of one of the infected emails (sans the actual virus) as it
looks when viewed from the Inbox using NotePad:

FW: [Declude.Virus] BSOD and IMail-Server reboot

2004-06-12 Thread John Tolmachoff \(Lists\)
Just realized this was originally posted on the Declude virus list, even
though it has nothing to do with Declude Virus, and the person should have
posted on the Imail list, since it is an Imail issue and a search of the
Imail list archives shows this has been discussed many times.

> The imail forum has not one post regarding an INTEL SERVER Board and on
> board NICs.  I recall some conversations about desktop boards but none
> regarding SERVER BOARDs.

 I do not remember whether the board was a Server board or workstation board
being part of the discussion on past problems. It was the Intel OB NIC that
was discussed, and a search of the Imail archives shows 269 hits for "Intel
OB NIC".

I am not an Ipswitch technician, so I have no idea of why this occurs, I
just know from many others posting such that it does!

> I have been building systems and maintaining data centers now for 16
years.

Goody for you. Now back to the issue at hand.

Then take the next step and share that information with Ipswitch. From all
the posts about Intel OB NICs and Imail over the years, it is my opinion
there is a real problem with Imail and Intel OB NICs. To date, most have
fixed the problem by using a server grade 3Com NIC and disabling the Intel
OB NIC. If you have the time and resources to further pursue this issue with
Ipswitch, many Imail admins will thank you.

Sure it does. Just because you do not like the work around, and would rather
spend time on finding the cause of the problem in hopes that Ipswitch will
finally fix it, does not mean that my advice has no value. 

BTW, how does my posting advice on a subject that comes up again and again
over time equal my using the forum for my own end?

How is it negative? I posted advice.

True, the Declude Virus archive has nothing about this issue, as this is not
a Declude related  issue. However, the Imail archives has plenty on this
issue. My fault for replying to a post about an Imail issue on the Declude
Virus list.

Think what you want, but did you even try changing the NIC, so as to work
around the issue, or are you one of those that want an answer, but only the
one you want, not another way?

Add overheated processor - failed fan or heat sink thermal bond.  Check the
CPU temperature with the BIOS.  Processor may still be OK otherwise.
