6. Post-Installation Configuration
=========================================================================

   For detailed information about performing these tasks, see the
   Administrator's Guide.

   Note: Connection to Cloud Pre-Filter requires port 9000 to be open.
         If the ActiveUpdate proxy is specified on the management 
         console, the proxy server requires port 9000 to be open.


7. Known Issues
=========================================================================
   The following list outlines the known issues in this release:

   1. IMSVA detects C&C email based on addresses only in the message
      header.

   2. IMSVA is unable to generate one-time reports within one hour after
      rolling back to a previous version during the upgrade process.
	  
   3. IMSVA is unable to open reports generated during the dry run period
      of the upgrade process after rolling back to version 8.2 Service 
      Pack 2.
	  
   4. The IMSVA and Control Manager counters for C&C email do not align.
      IMSVA counts all incoming and outgoing messages that trigger the 
      filter, while Control Manager counts only outgoing messages.

   5. If a message is deferred because of a Smart Scan query error, IMSVA
      incorrectly logs the action as postponed.
