We are pleased to announce that WASP version 2 OPEN BETA from GWAVA is now available at http://www.gwava.com/products/wasp.html to everyone for beta testing! WebAccess Server Protection is GWAVA's virus filtering software for GroupWise WebAccess.

WASP version 2 from GWAVA is now available to anyone for beta testing! WASP is GWAVA’s virus filtering software for GroupWise WebAccess.

This latest version of WASP will now run on NetWare / OES and Linux. It also runs on Windows in “remote mode.” To use this feature, GroupWise WebAccess must be running on a separate Windows Server (IIS or Apache). The GroupWise POA still needs to be running on NetWare or Linux.

Want to have your QMS system in GWAVA 4 run more efficiently and manage spam better. Please join Willem Bagchus for a brief 20-minute webinar on how to set up QMS in GWAVA 4.

GWAVA is the market leader for making GroupWise secure and delivering the latest technology to protect your GroupWise system from the inside out. As the only product built exclusively with Novell APIs, and built to run natively on NetWare & Linux, GWAVA protects email at the POA, MTA, GWIA and SMTP (perimeter) areas to ensure complete coverage against virus outbreaks, SPAM attacks, and ensuring email surveillance.

Q. The administrator information, is not authenticating back to edirectory?
No, the administration accounts are accounts specific to the GWAVA4 administration tool. YOu can create multiple accounts as required.

Q. Does the updater request come from the server, or from your workstation? ie..does the server send the request to the website directly?
All update requests are initiated by the administrator through the administration web interface, however the task itself is done by the server.

Q. If I migrate from GWAVA does it bring across exception lists etc.
Yes, an upgrade from GWAVA 3 will bring accross those settings. Please see http://support.gwava.com/wiki/index.php/Moving_settings_over_from_GWAVA_3

Now that you're ready to move to GWAVA 4, one of the most common questions that comes up is "how do I migrate my GWAVA 3 configuration?".

That's a great question and we even have a wizard built in to GWAVA 4 for this.

After the discussion, you will see why we generally recommend the you start up a new configuration rather than importing an old one.

Let's think about this for a moment and see what exactly we DO have in the GWAVA 3 configuration that we would want to migrate.

1) spam configuration. You've spent a lot of time, perhaps, in optimizing your antispam engine. There are two points about this.

Here is a link to a story by Associated Press about a top spammer, dubbed a "Spam King" who was arrested yesterday.

Technically, it outlines how this spammer has been using all of the latest techniques to get his messages out - techniques which are effectively controlled by GWAVA 4.

What I find interesting is that this person made over 3/4 of a million dollars spamming and his fine is only 1/4 of a million. It's a lot of money but that would leave him with a half million dollars in the end.

So there is really no need to wonder what motivates spammers. We just need to continue to protect ourselves against fraud artists like them.
