Technical Alert: Outgoing emails sent via Sophos UTM being recognized as confirmed SPAM

Sophos issued the following announcement to us:

We are seeing an increasing number of incidents where outgoing emails sent via Sophos UTM with anti-SPAM activated are classified as ‘confirmed SPAM’.

At the moment we have no confirmation that this affects all emails or that it affects incoming emails but we currently cannot exclude this possibility.

Our development team is working with urgency to solve this issue which appears to be caused by the SPAM patterns used. This means that a fix will be provided via live cloud lookup once available, rather than requiring a product or pattern update.

Further information about how you or your customers can report this problem and updates on this issue until it is solved can be found in the following KBA: https://www.sophos.com/en-us/support/knowledgebase/122687.aspx

Thank you for your understanding.

What is Miracast ?

Intel has been promoting their Wireless Display (WiDi) technology for quite a while now and we are starting to see some traction in the industry to include it in display devices and other types of components. 

So what is Miracast? Wikipedia describes it as such:

Miracast is a certification program of the Wi-Fi Alliance based on their Wifi-Display specification. It defines a protocol to connect an external monitor or TV to a device, and therefore can roughly be described as "HDMI over Wifi", replacing the cable from the computer to the display

So what do you do if your notebook has this capability but your wall mounted TV does not? Actiontec has a product called ScreenBeam Pro that turns any HDMI connection into a WiDi receiver. Priced under $100, you can easily connect a laptop or android device to that screen or projector with an HDMI connector and wirelessly transmit your video/audio signal to that device. 

Actiontec also has kits that will provide your with a USB transmitter that will connect your laptop that doesn't have the WiDi capability built in so that it will work with the receiver. This is a great solution for providing this capability.

Daffodil TC03 - Universal Mobile Phone Charger - USB Cell Phone Charging Cable - Multicharger for: HTC / Samsung / iPhone / iPod / Nokia / ZTE / LG / Blackberry

We were considering creating a series of charging stations that patrons could use at site to recharge their phones and other devices. One of the issues that we thought might come up is that even though recently most phones are now using mini-USB connectors for their recharging port, it used to be an issue that many phone manufacturers used to use proprietary connectors.

Here is a cable that takes that into account! This cable has 10 different cable ends attached to give you compatibility with the following devices:
