I can only update the SpamRazer bij allowing basic authentication through a proxy server.
Is this a bug? All other GFI updates are allowed by using one firewall rule.
(I use ISA 2006 as a firewall/proxy).

Indeed, but there seems to be no solution for this.
Is someone from GFI notified for this problem? Because I don't want my firewall to accept basic authentications for long.

There is a reply from GFI somewhere in there (I believe from Nicks). They should be aware of the problem.
I can understand you don't want to keep your firewall set to basic to long. We used another solution for the problem, but maybe that is not something you can/want to do.

I used the following solution:
I made a adjusment to our firewall. The server is now allowed to go onto the web directly. We have a rule in our first firewall which allows certain ip-adresses direct webacces. This rule does not require any authentication at all. Because there is no authentication requirement, the spamrazer updates are downloaded. Keep in mind that this is a ISA2006 that runs as a reverse proxy and router in our network. We have a second (Cisco) firewall running on our internet connection.

Ok.
Unfortunately our ISA-2006 is an edge firewall, so I won't try this way.
Bytheway, your Cisco seems to let through the unauthenticated HTTP traffic? So what's the difference with ISA on the edge?

Hi all,
Do you update the Bayesian database and the Anti-Phishing database. MailEssentials currently does not support proxy settings for these 2 Anti-Spam engines. Have you configured your firewalls to allow the HTTP connection to our update servers?
Thank you

Yes I update Bayesian and Anti-Phishing database.
And yes, I allow HTTP to your update servers (including the new *.mailshell.com and *.mailshell.net)

I'm experiencing the same problem on our side. Update of Bayesian and Anti-Phishing (as well as Pattern-Files on MSEC) are doing well.
The server is allowed to connect to internet by http/https and I can also connect from the server (using a webbrowser) to mailshell.com as well as to the ip where the SpamRazer engine obviously trys to update (209.157.66.250).

RE: Must use proxy with basic authentication for update... - 
. Let me try again. We are using the following route for a "normal" user: Browser/PC --> Proxyserver (ISA2004 and WebMonitor 4) --> ISA2006 as a router and reverse proxy (ISA2006 is setup like this due to the fact that we also do some web publishing) --> Cisco firewall (only accepts traffic from the ISA2006).
