Yes, this a great idea but ... (1) The virusdb list must be a private one that allow only trusted people to send new virus signatures emails to it. (2) If I automate the virus database update process to add news virus by email, I'm opening a hole to my system. Everyone that knows my email addres in the virusdb list and the virus list messages format may send me false virus signatures that will be automatically added to my virus database. I believe that this hole may be solved adding a m5checksum or PGP digital signature to all the messages sent to this list. What do you think about this ?
