Sophos issues - any other solutions? [message #108173] Wed, 13 November 2013 02:36 Go to previous message

We have a real issue with the Sophos scanning in Kerio Control - it doesn't scan inside ZIP's.

It will at the firewall (control), but we don't run our mailserver through the Kerio Firewall - the load increase was too much for it and our mail was stupid slow. So our mailserver is 'in the wild' and protected with a different firewall.

That leaves us with the internal virus scanning only. But it won't scan inside ZIP files.

And now, with the amount of malware coming through ZIP files, we have had to block them.

2 solutions?

1 - allow scanning inside of
2 - allow content rules inside ZIP's to be run. Eg, don't allow exe, even if in a zip.

For example - I have 250ish users, and have blocked 74 ZIP files in the last 10 hours - everyone a virus (New voicemail is the subject - and since we email voicemails to our staff, many aren't smart enough to realize the email looks different and opens it). I can't allow this much 'rubbish' through the firewall, but blanket zip blocking isn't helpful for those with a valid need.....

Does anyone have any other solutions?

There is a 'suggestion' for this, but it only has 15 votes and no notes from Kerio that they are looking at...
