Hi,

Can someone please provide clarification on the correct Sophos Anti-Virus update server destination address (Engine and IDE rules), we are having issues connecting to this service from our C370 mail infrastructure.

Thanks.

You should be pointed to and using downloads.ironport.com for the update server.

If not, and if you have a security/firewall requirement, we also provide static site for updates:
