From: Jan van Hoek (NL) 

Two recent e-mail messages came to my rescue. One from eSafe and one from
MicroSoft NL.


------------------------------
1) The new eSafe version will support wildcarding in the list of trusted servers

   [start quote]
Name: Assaf - eSafe Tech Support
Subject: Yes, in FR2.

Actually, you would probably want to place *.microsoft.com in the trusted
servers list, and yes, wildcards are supported in 4.0 FR2.
   [end quote]

--------------------------
2) MicroSoft NL has sent us a list of domain names to trust.

   windowsupdate.microsoft.com
   *.windowsupdate.microsoft.com
   download.windowsupdate.com
   *.download.windowsupdate.com
   wustat.windows.com
   ntservicepack.microsoft.com
   www.windowsupdate.com

Apart from this, they announced that RSN (within a few months) just one
hostname (windowsupdate) will suffice. This single name hosts everything
related to patches for Windows, Office, Backoffice etcetera.

--------------------------

Both e-mail's combined will get me a lot further, I think.
