Greetings Reflexion Partners –

We will be upgrading our Sophos AV engine to implement more aggressive context-specific heuristics (called CXMail), which is built and maintained by SophosLabs. The CXMail family of detection strategies is purposefully designed to stop threats like ransomware that are predominately distributed using email.

CXMail is designed to be highly effective against zero-day malware attacks that are spread via emails. The technology applies stricter rules aimed at active content that is delivered in email attachments and proactively identifies polymorphic malicious documents and executables. The higher detection rate of CXMail is achieved by identifying strongly suspicious content that is not regularly associated with email communication.

As a reminder, we will also be upgrading the Reflexion Content Filtering Engines on Friday, November 18th.  

Both of these changes will be transparent.

As always, please reach out to support@reflexion.net or login to https://tickets.reflexion.net if you have any questions.

Best,
Scott

3)            Apache Tomcat will be updated

Hello,

2. Connectwise 2.0 integration - This new API integration delivers your spam stats and billing information via Connectwise's RESTful API's.

Partners,

The Reflexion Operations Team will be performing routine maintenance on the RADAR servers tonight, 2/12/16 starting 11 PM EST.  This maintenance will begin at 11 EST and last approximately 2 hours.  

SOME RADAR customers may experience brief intermittent outages of that service as the maintenance progresses.  

Additionally, Reflexion's user interface will not be updated during this timeframe; all updates will be posted upon completion of the maintenance.

Thank you.

We first communicated this change in December of 2014 via email, then sent out reminder emails on June 8 and September 11 of this year, as well as posting it as a news item in our ticketing system. We can get you sorted out now, though.
