- Commtouch Zero-Hour Virus Protection

Commtouch® Zero-Hour Virus Protection (sold separately) is now available to function alone or together with the following IMail products:

- Commtouch® Premium Anti-spam

- IMail Anti-virus powered by BitDefender®

- IMail Anti-virus powered by Symantec™

New Commtouch® Zero-Hour user interface for the Web Administrator can be found at Domain > Commtouch Zero Hour, (Console Administrator Domains > Commtouch Zero Hour Filter) click Help from the left navigation panel for more detail information.

Commtouch® Zero-Hour Virus Outbreak Protection provides a complementary shield to conventional AV technology, protecting in the earliest moments of malware outbreaks, and right through as each new variant emerges.

Server-side polymorphic malware has become impossible for traditional AV engines to block, since there are typically thousands of distinct variants, and malware distributors often release hundreds of new variants per hour.

Commtouch® Zero-Hour Virus Outbreak Protection provides a complementary shield to conventional AV technology, protecting in the earliest moments of malware outbreaks, and right through as each new variant emerges.

• Signature-less

  Signature-less protection is an essential complement to traditional AV technologies, security experts agree. By proactively scanning the Internet and identifying massive virus outbreaks as soon as they emerge, Commtouch's Zero-Hour Solution provides just that: proactive virus blocking that is effective and signature-independent.

• Immediate

  Commtouch provides proactive virus detection to close the early-hour vulnerability gap during which millions of users are infected. Commtouch's proactive virus detection capabilities ensure users' protection hours before signatures are released.

  "Aimed at detecting mass outbreak indicators, Zero-Hour is differentiated from other proactive virus detection technologies by several advantages. First and foremost is the immediate and accurate detection of new outbreaks" - Dan Yachin, IDC.

• Proven

  Robust and inherently immune to emerging foiling attempts, Commtouch has a proven record of being the first and highest performing among proactive virus control solutions. Commtouch's Zero-Hour Virus Outbreak Protection Solutions are based on RPD technology, which has a track record of protecting million of users globally.

Note: IMail Server was modified to handle the Commtouch scan at the SMTP level, allowing the new "Reject" classification type to occur, rejecting a message before being accepted.

- SMTP Connection Checks / Reject Connections

A modification to SMTP Connection Checks has been made to allow the capability to reject connections versus receiving and then deleting the message. Connection Checks will begin checking as soon as the data is received from the SMTP client.

• For the Web Administrator go to Anti-spam > Connection Checks.
• For the Console Administrator go to Domains > Anti-spam > Connection Filters.

This SMTP Connection Check modification also allowed the capability to add Reject Connection as a new option to the following IMail Server features:

• SPF Filtering
• Commtouch® Premium Anti-spam Filtering

Upgrades will not affect any previous settings for Administrators that are using this feature. The Delete Message option functionality will still function as in previous versions. Administrators must also be aware that when the option Reject Connection is used, the validation will run during the MAIL FROM command.

Note: New installations will by default will not have Connection Checks or SPF enabled.

- "adduser.exe"

"adduser.exe has been rewritten to handle internationalization for the Full Name.

- OpenSSL

• OpenSSL has been upgraded to the latest open source version 1.0.0a.
