This means you, Barricuda Networks, more than anyone else, but we
also see this annoyance from Symantec devices, and from some AOL
systems as well.

It's a simple switch in the GUI of Barracuda Networks to turn of this
annoyance. More operator error than Barracuda's fault, IMHO.

If it is on by default, it is a bug, and not operator error.

(Virus "warnings" to forged addresses are UBE, plain and simple.)


Since when? I disagree.

While we can argue whether it is UBE, it is a pretty dumb move I think we can all agree.. ;-)
