Sophos Auto Update accesses many domains

Willum

Why does the Sophos Auto Update access so many domains outside of sophos.com?

I recently installed Little Snitch, which is a firewall that allows the blocking of individual outgoing connections.  I was surprised to find that Sophos Auto Update was accessing domains other than sophos.com....

    Christian, thanks for the reply. There's quite a few of them - take a look at http://snag.gy/6Mjk9.jpg.  I got fed-up after a while and just clicked to allow all.

    I don't really see why Snitch should be getting them wrong. It would be a little surprising -  that is its core business after all.

    I'll see if I can log the IPs next time and check with 'host'... (tried again and it just said it wanted to contact nasa.gov :-/)
