Issues with 7.002

lantech
Has anyone seen issues with the new web filter Astaro is using. Its supposedly base on surfcontrol's internet threat database.

We just updated last night to 7.002 and I am seeing some inconsistent issues with the web filtering.  I heard we are changing from iss to surfcontrol for filtering, but this one doesnt fit either.

example site:  www.thesuperficial.com

Astaro blocked catagory: Political Extreme / Hate / Discrimination' found

ataro iss website check: (most accurate)
    * Cinema / Television
    * General News / Newspapers / Magazines
    * Music
    * Newsgroups / Bulletin Boards / Blogs

SurfControl.com
*tasteless and offensive (a catagory we don't have, although does describe the site).

    Well, the categories that cobion uses and that surfcontrol uses don't line up word for word, so I'm sure Astaro had to make some approximations when they mapped the old category names to the new and different category list that Surfcontrol uses...  maybe things that are offensive are considered "hate"?

    I got an answer from Astaro.  It is related to catagory mapping from surfcontrol to the corbon/iss.  Tasteless and offensive maps to the hate/extremist catagory in webadmin.

    I imagine there will be many sites that map differently.  After looking over the catagories on surfcontrol I think I like their divisions better than what we have, BUT I don't know if/when we will get those changed.  ASG 6.303 will still be using corbon/iss while 7.002 forward will use surfcontrols backend.  

    Here is the site link for checking the catagories for the new engine
