Patch 138 fixes two problems with the Quarantine in Symantec[tm] Brightmail AntiSpam 6.0.1. Changes introduced with Patch 138

12183
Component: Quarantine
Synopsis: Notification message does not limit the number of emails in the body
Platforms: all

Previously, when a user's Quarantine folder received a very large quantity of spam, the Notifier would attempt to send a very large message which included the subject lines of all the messages. In some extreme cases, this would cause the Notifier to terminate unexpectedly. This problem has been fixed by limiting the subject lines included in a Notifier message to the first 100 spam messages for a user.

12063
Component: Quarantine
Synopsis: Notifier stops after encountering SMTP errors
Platforms: all

Previously, if the Notifier encountered an SMTP error while sending spam notifications to users, it would terminate unexpectedly. Those users for whom notifications had not been generated would not receive a notification. This problem has been fixed. Now, if an SMTP error occurs when sending a spam notification message to a user in a list of users, the error is logged and the next user in the list is tried.
