Tumbleweed EMF 6.x Processing Issues



I've actually seen instances where inbound Internet e-mail is completely 
bypassing policy engine rules.

The following article was referenced on their web site.  It's also interesting 
to note that today they released another article pointing to an alleged 
increase in global spam.  

Could this product be under attack?  Have spammers found a hole??

Tumbleweed Tech Note:
=============================
Under extremely heavy loads, the Email Firewall policy engine will occasionally 
fail to process a message correctly. Such message will be retried, and should 
be processed in due course with no interruption to the email flow (29216).

Global Spam Increase [20 January, 2006]
Tumbleweed has received a number of reports from our customers citing an 
increase in missed spam over the past week to 10 days.  Tumbleweed is
aware of a dramatic increase in spam outbreaks over the last few weeks that is 
affecting the Internet in general and challenging the entire
anti-spam industry.  Increases in overall spam volume will result in an 
increased number of missed spam although the overall capture rate may be 
unchanged.
