The Websense Reputation Service is a valuable piece of the Websense Email Security product. However, in our environment we cannot enable the feature. In our business one missed email can be the difference in securing a muti-million dollar loan. The reputation service too frequently blocks the connection from a valuable source. In that event it is almost impossible to even know that an email was missed. It is completely impractical to configure trusted relay sources for every possibility, and we wouldn't want to do that anyway.

I would very much like to see the ability (or choice) to implement the reputation service as a rules service message blocking feature. If I could put that at the bottom of my rules list and notify customers of the isolated messages in PEM we could have the best of both worlds.
