Rupert,

 

This category is not present in ASM IPI as a design decision. We tracked this as ID380836. Effectively Spam Sources is only relevant to SMTP so it was not implemented in ASM. However AFM should contain all categories natively.

 

Sorry for the trouble.

Hi Taunan,

 

Thanks for the answer. Where can I track that ID, and make comments/suggestions to reverse the decision?

 

We currently have large amounts of malicious application traffic coming from IPs marked as Spam Sources. It seems to me that end users shouldn't have had the option to select it removed, but rather should be allowed to use the full functionality offered by Brightcloud.

 

Cheers,

 

Ru.
