PureMessage for Domino local update.

Question

Hello there.

We have such infrastructure:

One enterprise console is located in DMZ and download updates from sophos internet site.

Another enterprise console is located in LAN (LAN has NO access to internet) and download updates from first Console.

Clients (endpoint security and control 10.2) download updates from second console. That's works fine.

Now i installed Sophos PureMessage for domino (without antispam) on the server with domino 8.5.3.4.

And i can`t understand how to make that puremessage to download updates from second console (in LAN).

I can't find where i can specify source to update. :(

Hello deepdig, PM interfaces with the Sophos AV installation (in principle others as well) for scanning - i.e. it "asks" it to scan certain objects and (after potentially acting on them) return the result ( "hey, scanner - do you think this file is clean?" ). Otherwise it does not manage the AV. In other words, PM does not use any AV data or care for updating them as it does not scan itself.  Thus you see the details of the AV in the SESC GUI (where you also would configure updating for an unmanaged install).

Hi deepdig,

Reading through the thread - I understand your question to be:

"Can I check that the Sophos engine is up to date (in other words, that the latest detection patterns are installed) from within PureMessage for Lotus Domino?'

The answer is no, this is not exposed within PureMessage for Lotus Domino. PureMessage interfaces with the Sophos engine using the Sophos Anti-Virus Interface (SAVI) http://www.sophos.com/en-us/support/knowledgebase/118643.aspx to connect to the local Sophos Anti-Virus installation. To check that the Sophos Anti-Virus installation is up to date, use the Computers view within Sophos Enterprise Console. This can also be checked locally, if Sophos Enterprise Console is not used.

If you are asking a slightly different question, then please post with details.
