SASI - Does the SASI engine scan imap/s traffic?

Hi folks, yesterday I received over 20 spam messages, none was identified as spam. My legitimate messages had the XG Spam messages added to the mail message.

In the following screenshots there are a large number of spam messages supposedly received by the XG, in fact majority of them are mail accounts checking for mail updates.

Deleted two unreadable files. I need to convert them to a readable format.

Added an updated format file.

not spamm with xg message.rtf

Hi Ian,

Thank you for sharing this. I would recommend kindly sending a sample to Sophos Labs to have this looked into the Global Spam Protection.

Thank you for the suggestion, but as a home user I do not have that option.

Ian

Hi rfcat_vk,

Upon checking with the Internal team, the Sophos Firewall Home user can also send a sample file.

You may refer to the following.

Hi Ian,

as Erick wrote, Home users can report spam false positives/negatives too.

For false positives, please look for the "Release and report" function in email quarantine area.

For reporting false negatives, you can use the Sophos Outlook Add-in (in case you use Outlook) or send the original email to Labs as an attachment. For the later case I can send you instructions on the required format.

Regards,

Janos

My case has been closed without any feedback and th issue does not appear to have been fixed.

A couple of days ago I submitted a response to a survey on the mail issue and have since received two emails and a few case number, The email ask me to submit the details I had previously submitted and arrange a time for a session to work through th issue.

"Good day and I hope you are doing well,

We have received your feedback on regards to case 07033646 and we apologized that the case has been closed without any response from us.

To continue may we know the following below:

•  Please provide the screenshot mentioned on the case description.
• Can you elaborate further the issue/ concern on the Sophos firewall. Are there legitimate emails that are being tagged as SPAM?
• Best time to troubleshoot or investigate via remote session?

I find the response to a negative review very strange, especially when they already have the files and screenshots.

Hi Ian,

We regret to hear about your experience. Upon checking, case 07033646  was closed due to no response received from your side.

The case handler tried to reach out via  +** *** *** *88 and email, yesterday, a new case was created 07057088 and awaiting your response.

For the request for samples and files from the previous case, no attached files were included. 

Kindly refer to the KB below.

I see where you're coming from and hoping for your understanding.

I did not receive any phone calls from numbers I know and there weasn't any voicemail message so I did not repsond. The only message I received was that the case was closed, no details as to why the case was closed.

I sent the files as per instructions provided. I also included comments. I will send them again.

Ian

Hi Ian,

Understood, I'll forward the given information to the case handler. Again, thank you for your understanding.

Hi Erick,

Thank you. I have located the files and will load them shortly.

Ian

I suspect the portal is not working at the moment?

Hi Ian,

This might be a possibilty, let me inquire this to be sure.

Also,, I’ve reached out to the case handler to communicate this with you incase the same issue occur again.

Hi Erick,

Thank you, I received a request from Glen, I have sent him all the messages I included initially.

Ian

Hi Ian,

Upon verification, there seems to be an issue.

From your email. The sample file was attached however this did not reflect to the case, even on my side when I was checking.

Again. We deeply regret your experience and thank you for understanding.

Hi Erick,

there is no SASI entry in any of those files, there used to be.

Ian
