A new white paper released today by Messageware (www.messageware.com), the world's leading provider of enterprise productivity and security solutions for Microsoft Office Outlook Web Access, highlights often overlooked security risks for organizations running OWA with ISA Server. In addition, it offers effective solutions for securing OWA against those risks.

Summary: Many companies who have Microsoft Exchange with the update Q911829 (released in March and April, 2006) installed and are using Outlook Web Access have been experiencing a problem addressing messages. In some environments, when the spacebar is pressed after addressing a message the address dialog box re-appears and in some cases, while typing the message body, entering a space suddenly activates the addressing dialog box.
Upon hearing about this problem from Exchange administrators who were concerned about the productivity of their users, Messageware researched the problem, found the cause, and has released a free fix. This patch is now available to companies and Exchange administrators who are running any version of Exchange or OWA. It can be downloaded at http://www.messageware.com/fixQ911829.
